"Genetic Disorder" Discussion **SPOILERS**

I'm watching this episode for the first time now, so I'll update as I pick up on things I like/dislike:

1. Brass seems to have made his mind up pretty quickly, I know at first blush it may seem that she was having an affair, but who knows, maybe she wasn't? You were head of the crime lab, Jim!
2. Why does RDH get updated title credits and nobody else does? New titles for all the cast, please!
3. Sarcastic Brass. I don't like him anymore. Brass and Mrs Robbins seem to know each other...
4. $90 for underwear?
5. DB's phone-call to his wife, and still no Catherine
6. Coroner hug. Yay .
7. And we have Morgan, I love her!
8. His past really *is* clouding his judgement
9. Dr. Sloan. I like her, is there room for another coroner on the main cast? PLEASE! She has great chemistry with RDH.
10. Hodges being annoying again. Grrr. He does seem to respect Doc though.
11. Doc has a cat. Hodges had a cat, too, but it died
12. More Morgan - why do we need Lis Shue when we have Lis Harnois?
13. Too much cat, not enough Catherine.
14. CATHERINE!!! I love the color of her shirt, she seems to know a lot about affairs, are you sure it was just Eddie that was cheating, Cath?
15. Grave rubbing? Sounds like an act of erotic necrophilia.
16. He SHOULD hyphenate!
17. Catherine doing forensic things and thoughtful friend things. I'm going to miss her.
18. Doc had an affair!? Major loss of respect for him, that bastard.
19. Henry is scared of DB. He does yell out names a lot, though.
20. DB's name-plate on his desk says 'CSI 5 Supervisor' - I'm sure of it. I thought a CSI 3 was the highest rank?
21. Hodges, you dick. "And here's to you, Mrs Robbinssss" - Hilarious, but a little insensitive.
22. Radio-active cat urine?
23. Is this guy the real killer?
24. He screwed up the DNA!? Or did he?
25. DB yelling again He needs to learn how to use the intercom system
26. Banjo music! Incest, yuck
27. Crazy s**t. Brass was wrong, and it was a set-up.
28. "Hojem-Sanders" - for the tenth time xD
29. Brass apologized to Doc, Doc apologized to his wife.
30. Such a cute couple
31. Family tree. I'm trying not to cry right now.
32. Roll end credits, no more Catherine for this episode.

Overall I'll give it a B. A great episode, I didn't really notice that Nick & Sara weren't there, I loved DB, RDH did a great job. Morgan is brilliant as usual, and so was Greg, the guest cast was fantastic, but Brass was an idiot, and the lack of Catherine took away a lot from the episode IMO.

 

I really enjoyed this episode, loved seeing Greg finally take charge, lead material in my opinion.

Did not miss Nick last night, finally glad to see others get much deserved screen time.

Don't like the double standard men have, Doc had an affair, yet when he wrongly assumed Judy did(I know in the beginning it pointed to her) but he just jumped to the conclusion she did without even hearing what she had to say, then he wouldn't have anything to do with her, considering what he did, Doc treated Judy horribly. I had lots of respect for Doc before this episode, but that dropped after last night.

Don't care for the way they seem to be making Brass into a big a** don't like this direction at all.

I finally even liked Morgan last night, she seemed very caring and sympathetic, I was touched.

As for the genealogy stuff, I loved it. I have been doing my ancestry for over 10 years and I just love it. I encourage everyone to try it, I guarantee you will get hooked.

 

I'm going to watch it when I get a spare hour and I'm pretty positive that I'm going to miss Nick. I'm also pretty positive that I'm not going to get on here and bash any character on the show on this forum.

 

This was a great episode. I have to say that I really, really enjoyed Greg in this one. I've always been neutral about him, not a favorite but not a character I dislike. But in this episode I liked how he stepped up, was mature and professional about the whole thing focusing on the evidence and sharing great scenes with others. I especially liked when he put the lab coat on and helped Henry with the DNA.

I really liked getting to know more about Doc's life. He is not a character that's front and center a lot so this was a treat. The actress who played Judy did an amazing job. I really liked her.

Brass.... I just don't like this direction the character is taking. I was glad he apologized but he was so harsh with Doc in the beginning, not to mention Judy.

Catherine... wish we had seen more of her especially since she only has two left. At least she got a scene with Doc which I really wanted to see.

I give it an A.

 

Just exactly how did I bash Nick? I happen to like most of the characters on the show including Nick. I just enjoyed finally seeing Greg get to play lead, sort of. Wasn't bashing. Just because I didn't miss him doesn't mean I don't like him.

 

I didn't miss Nick and Sara too (though she is my favorite character !) because the centric episode on Robbins was great ! The case was interesting and the developement of each character was perfect !
A wonderful episode !

 

It just seemed like such an unnecessary line. We all know that George wasn't in the episode because he was at his dad's funeral and a slight jab was made. I get frustrated when any actor/character gets bashed and even these slight jabs bug me. I feel that it's inconsiderate to the fans as well as to the people who work to put CSI on the air.

The jab at Nick and the accusation that I'm not a fan were both made in this same thread. What is going on around here?

 

I agree with you here... it really seems as if we are walking on eggshells here lately... some fans even left the boards because others twisted comments of them or accused them of things they NEVER said. It sucks that things are like that... and all that just because fans like a certain character. Not every comment has to do with the liking of a character but still some don't get it and make it something it isn't

As for the ep... I dunno what to think of it. I really liked Doc in this one. He deserved to be focused in this episode The storyline was really interesting too!

Greg got a lot of screentime in this one... of course he profited of Nick missing. After all this episode was meant to be with him in it.

Liz Divine wrote a very good episode here and I wished it would have been filmed like it was supposed to be filmed. I'm sure at least half of Greg's screentime would have gone to Nick then

 

Why are you attacking me and twisting my words. I was not bashing or taking a jab at Nick, I like the guy. It has been almost 2 years since I posted last and this is the reason. Certain people can say whatever they want and no problem, yet some like myself say something innocent and get attacked and what they say twisted.

I thought this place had changed but I guess not. So I won't be posting anymore. According to CgrGrl not only have I bashed and made jabs at Nick but I have also insulted all fans and people associated with CSI in one fell swoop. I wish I could be as upstanding as she and never say anything unnecessary or inconsiderate as I am sure she never has. She can pat herself on the back as she has now driven this horrible person off this board.

 

So, they mentioned the condoms hidden under the sink where Doc couldn't see them. Were they insinuating she was having other affairs, or did I miss where they explained that?

 

You summed up the episode great! I loved it. It has to be one of my favorites. I loved Doc got some much screen time. I have to say I did not notice Nick was missing. This season is fantastic!
