(Since you asked about Danny's canon past: we don't know very much, at this point. We do know that he played pro baseball for a time, up until he broke his wrist, and that he apparently had some sort of involvement with Tanglewood, though just *what* hasn't been answered yet; Anthony Zuiker's hinted that we'll find out more in the new season. As for the dandelions, I remember picking them and making wishes as a kid in NY, so they existed back then, at least. Danny is from one of the outer boroughs, and there *are* various places there where a kid could hang out in relative seclusion, especially at an unoccupied house.)

I hate it when I can't get a hold of a canon past, makes me even more guilty of roughhousing the characters. I've never been to New York, so I'm taking a hell of a lot of liberties in this thing. The internet can only give so much, most of it... touristy places and such like.
Zuiker's kept me guessing the whole of last season, I hope he keeps his promise and tell. I just so want to know what it is that makes him so secretive and into a wreck like that. Well, not a wreck as such, but a wreck nonetheless. If it turns out to be something silly... well... Hm...
I thought at first that this Mac will write himself with less irritation and go and ask Danny what's wrong. But NOOOO... he had to be irritated and keeps the story a PG. *sigh* there's no hope with these two is there?

I think that the CSI shows in general, and NY in particular, since it's so new, give us *very* little in the way of backstory, so I don't feel too terribly guilty about making stuff up to suit my own purposes. And I think that as long as the background a writer extrapolates makes sense with the canon we *do* have, and with the person we see onscreen...well, it works for me, that being the case. I think the one thing that truly bugs me is *not* attempting to take it into account -- if, say, to use an extreme example, a writer were to ignore Mac's Marine service.

Irritation almost always seems to win out with him over actually asking someone what's wrong or saying what's on his mind. And these two are, collectively, some of *the* most stubborn, ( ... )

But this is such a fascinating history to play with! I know I'm mean to Mac with regards to his Marine service a bit. By the way, they didn't actually tell what type of service/tours/whatevers he went on right? What years? Or if there is... where can you get these kind of information.
p.s. (as you may have already discovered, I'm a lout and lazybum to the first degree... I know being new to the fandom isn't exactly an excuse not to go out and find these important info, but I haven't the foggiest of clues...)
p.p.s (you must be tired of me asking all these info all the time... have I even thanked you yet for all the juicy information you've given me? Thank you, thank you, thank you! And apologies for being such a bother...)
Sadly, I still love them. Even when I want to slap them both upside the head.
True. They have this Thing that makes me want to forgive them and shoot them at the same time.
