I keep thinking about what the show runner for Vegas said about the season finale "one CSI will be in a body bag by the end of the episode". Never happened! No one was in a body bag. Nicky was shot in the shoulder and played dead long enough to get the one-up on the bad guy and another character got shanked at the end, leaving us with a cliffhanger (but we've been told that person has signed on for next season, so we pretty much know he won't die unless something changes between now and September). So the "CSI in a bodybag" comment was just to make us worry. So, perhaps that is what this is for Miami as well. I really don't want any of our main characters (or Michael, Dave or Maxine) to die. That would suck big time.
That's a really good point, and something that kind of makes me a little less worried. Completely different, but I also believe that back in season four, one of our showrunners stated that the mole would have to leave the show, and we all know Natalia is still there, but because of all the scare tactics, lol, I spent the entire second half of S4 terrified that it was Calleigh and that it was her last season, so of course I tuned in to see. The more I read what people have to say, the less I'm worried that it's a main character who dies - I'm with you guys thinking it's CSI Tech. She was in an episode earlier this season, though obviously not important enough to give a name, lol, so why not kill her and scare the fanbase into thinking it's somebody on the main cast? At this point, I'm really wondering if maybe the whole thing is just hype to keep us talking - I mean, it's working, lol.
Also, I think if they had originally planned for one of the main characters to die, it might be a fairly good idea to take some time over the hiatus to maybe rethink that, given the change to Sundays for next fall. Seems like it would be way too risky for ratings to move the show (especially to a night when it might never start on time),
and alienate a main character's entire fanbase. I personally watch for Calleigh and don't know if I would continue if she were to leave, and I know a lot of people feel the same about Natalia, Ryan, etc. The more I think about it, the riskier it seems, and with falling ratings, I don't know that they would go that far and actually kill one of our faves. Then again, CSIM loves to shock, so I'll still be on pins and needles until we find out.
