What happens to OCD people when they snap? I thought that's what the milk carton was supposed to represent, but perhaps they get more OCD, not less.

That's how I took it-- as far as potential snappage, I suppose it's one of those things that varies from case to case.

I was half watching CM, was there an explination given for why he was walking down that alley?

No, they never did. I was ENTIRELY squicked by him putting BREAD in his gunshot wounds. I mean who the hell does that? Are they trying to use that to say he's extra crazy? It just doesn't make any sense.

The whole thing did not really hold together for me.

I think he was just a extra-crunchy mix of craxy. Just everything short-circuiting at once.

He certainly made for an interesting character and I really enjoyed watching O'Loughlin play him-- such a difference from Mick St. John.

ETA: The story did have some holes and jumps that bugged, but I stand by liking how O'Loughlin portrayed the character.

agreed. He did a lot with the schlock that he had.

I guess the bread thing was supposed to symbolise the breakdown of the character, but the fact that he was breaking down didn't really make any sense, I mean we didn't really see the precipitating event. Frankly, the bread thing seemed more real than the milk thing.

Getting shot isn't enough?

On another tip entirely, CSI:NY was well messed up. I've seen the story of Nazis escaping punishment by living as Jews, but this guy took it another level and raised an Orthodox son. I cannot imagine the stress that son is under, finding out he may not really be Jewish, and that his father was Hitler Youth.

yep - that whole episode was f'ed up. (CSI)

I was flipping btw that and The Unusuals.

That was probably one of the best CSIs of any flavor in a long while. And Ed Asner was positively chilling at the end.
