TV Review: CSI:NY - "People With Money" - Page 3

Part of: CSI:NY

The first victim, Sam McFarland, died at the hands of the girfriend's father. In a bizarre twist, Lancaster was upset McFarland would want to be with the woman he got pregnant. To add insult to injury, Lancaster wrote the $40,000 check to entice McFarland to marry his daughter. Mac made sure he was arrested, and he handled it personally.

Victim number 2 died at her home from a ill-landed punch by her best friend. The two private bodyguards were in attendance, and they provided the women with boxing gloves for a special match. Even though the death was an accident, nobody notified authorities. Danny believed his female suspect just hit her rival a little too hard, but he arrested her anyway.

Mac and Peyton meet in the office hallways after hours and decide they can be professional enough to work together and be involved off the clock.

What did I think? Overall, it was solid. A few notes, however. Gary Sinise is an attractive man, so it was a delight to see him in something other than his work suits. That being said, his last scene bothered me. Although I like his work as an actor, (and others have praised his longstanding habit of respect for cast and crew) the blocking was problematic. for this reason. Any person trained in the military has hands which are lethal weapons. So why would he reach and grab the wrist of his lady love? (yes, I know, fake, but....)

I'm impressed with one thing. Gary Sinise can kiss! And the actress playing his girlfriend looks to be a solid match. Speaking of, New York is well-known for being eclectic. Why in the world, though, would the powers that be cast someone who bears such a striking resemblance to Vanessa Ferlito both in appearance and attitude? Incidentally, Adam Ross needs a storyline all his own.

    Mac's magic hands might be lethal weapons, but he can also use them for love.

    Of course. his reaction to Danny in tears during "Run Silent Run Deep" proved that. For me, it was a visual thing and I reacted. Several members have a military background.
