With the show&#8217;s fate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/2011\/05\/sinise-id-like-to-come-back\/\">up in the air<\/a>, the writers crafted an episode that can serve as a lead-in to season eight&#8212;or as a series finale. (Minor spoilers after the jump!)<\/p>\n<p>\n<!--more-->The <I>CSI: NY<\/i> finale will leave a few questions unanswered, but it will provide some closure in case the show gets cancelled. &#8220;We looked at it and said, &#8216;If this should not come back, can we be satisfied with what we left behind?'&#8221; executive producer <b>Pam Veasey<\/b> told <I>TV Guide<\/i>. &#8220;And if it does, does [the finale] provide us with a lot of story to come back to? We believe we found the best scenario for all of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter a near death experience, Mac Taylor (<b>Gary Sinise<\/b>) questions his future with the New York Crime Lab and works to close one final unsolved case. &#8220;He&#8217;s a very steady character, a very solid guy who doesn&#8217;t really question a lot,&#8221; Sinise explained. &#8220;He knows the way he feels about things and knows who he is and what he wants. And I think here, we really get to see him as somebody who&#8217;s not so sure. He&#8217;s been doing this a long time. At a certain point, you have seen a lot of death and wonder just how much more you want to deal with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIf the show ends after season seven, Veasey is proud of what the cast and crew has accomplished. &#8220;We told some really great stories and got to learn things about our characters that I feel the audience appreciated,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And though we&#8217;re absolutely, completely optimistic about our return&#8230; if it were to end, I think we would be completely satisfied. We&#8217;d certainly pat ourselves on the back and say that we did [the show] justice.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nThe full interview is available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/News\/CSINY-Finale-Gary-Sinise-1033044.aspx\">TVGuide.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The seventh season of CSI: New York comes to a close after tonight&#8217;s finale, &#8220;Exit&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2908],"tags":[2925,2931],"class_list":["post-15188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-ny","tag-sinise","tag-veasey"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-ny\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: New York<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: New York","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15188"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15191,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15188\/revisions\/15191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
