    You Have Entered The Spoiler Lab, STOP Or Be Spoiled! :eek:
    Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

    Welcome To Season 9!!! Just like last seasons Spoiler Lab, We [the mods] ask that you read, remember and respect the following regarding this thread.

    This thread is for the discussions, opinions regarding the future "episodes, story-lines and character spoilers as it relates to the current season in the US." This thread has nothing to do with the actor/actresses themselves, ship discussions in general, or past episodes each of these have their own respective threads and or forum. Some comparisons to past eps is fine, as long as it follows the line of your current discussion but don't let it dominate.

    We need to keep in mind so that we may maintain a balance in this and future lab threads, where the bickering, arguing and snarky comments are kept to a minimum or out altogether. Telling someone to "not watch the show if they don't like something" that is actually rude, flip side telling someone they cannot discuss a scene that pertains to an ep is also rude.

    If a person puts in a valid point as to why they dislike it that is one thing, the "I hate [whatever]" or the "Squee I love [whatever]" only comments, are not valid points, add substance to why you like or dislike it would be more appropriate. (this is also meant for characters, ships, etc) all arguing and uncontrolled fighting does is waste energy and take time away from the discussions, no one thing should dominate this discussion thread other then getting the spoilers and discussing them rationally. Ignoring the baiting and negative commentary is precisely what is expected of those wishing to participate in this thread and Forum. If one cannot do so then a time out and away is probably the best thing all the way around until one is able to do the necessary.

    Okay we know the rules were too long before so we have decided to tweak them in such away that it should be easier.

    What Should I Know About Spoilers?

    Code Boxes:
    Not needed in here this already has the warning in the title and post, any other thread not clearly marked with said warning is where those are used, lightly please alot of people avoid spoilers lets respect that wish if possible.

    Episode Names & Major Spoilers:
    List the name of the spoiler ep you are giving or just discussing to avoid confusion. Spoilers are subject to changes and should only be considered as a guide to what could be happening in that episode, and not what will happen.
    Not everyone wants to know the entire episode, (ie how it may end, ect) while we like to hear what it is about, hints to what might happen, lets not go farther then that, leave some surprises.

    Copyrights, Sites, Vids & Pics:
    Posting a spoiler word for word (or lines as well) is not allowed, we ask that you put it in a short summery of you're own words.
    -Some places preferre that you not link to them for the spoilers and some places like 'sides' & 'SpoilerTv' that you are not allowed to mention or link to please be mindful of this. If asked to cite you're source contact myself or TallyHo for help. Copyright violations will be edited and or removed.
    -Be mindful of the 'Video' rules located in the "Help Guide" on what places are allowed by this site.
    -Pictures: There is already a thread for future episodes please contain all pictures to that thread.

    Shipper/ships discussions:
    The only time any ship discussion is allowed in here is when it pertains to said ep, ship or scene, should the ep not contain a ship moment then it does not belong in this thread or forum, but rather in the "Shipper Central" forum.

    What should I know about this thread in General?

    Stay On Topic:
    As it says there try to stay on topic of this thread, veering off happens and that is fine as long as it doesn't go overboard, if it does we will let you know.

    Opinions & Arguments:
    Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to disagree with the opinions, your not entitled to attack someone for having the opinion, this is NOT a debate thread for which you can argue about things. Sometimes opinions might rile some which can lead to arguments to uncontrolled debates or outright flaming. The best thing to do is to take a deep breath, calm down, back away and agree to disagree and let it go, you really are not getting anywhere so why continue all that will get you is a gentle reminder or an official warning. Be mindful that if you are not involved in any argument don't jump in it only makes it worse, contact Myself or Tally via PM or click the NM (Notify Mod) Button.

    EP Threads:
    IF there is already a discussion thread up for an ep (by you moderators), please discuss that ep in that thread, as this is for Future eps, not yet aired. -- This is for LV Only! Any Spoilers for Miami, and New york belong in their respective forums and not in here if they are found in here they will be removed.

    Lastly About the Mods:
    Myself and TallyHo are asking for your cooperation in all this, we are not out to scare people or ruin the fun, we like fun, but at the same time we are trying to keep the balance, atmosphere and rules of the board intact and the thread inviting, like a comfy home, there will be some problems we know it, but if we come in in "Mod mode" we would appreciate not being ignored or having attitudes copped. You also know that if you need to you can always PM us and we will try to help you. ;)

    -Please remember, we reserve the right to update/change any of the above, remember the board rules, and reminders. Have fun. ;)

    Wow! We're already on to Part 4! Holy Cow!

    Catherine drama! Yippee! I am very excited. I think that any Cath drama, is good drama(for the most part). I am also someone who believes that the promo looks harsher than it really is. I also like it because it looks like it has a good amount of Team time in it, which is what I've been longing for for so long.

    I guess I'll be okay with the Cath drama, but I really wish that they wouldn't give her two episodes in a row. Because I think that's what they're doing, is it not? Either way, as much as I value Catherine, I wish they would concentrate on the other characters, especially Nick and Greg, with them being the only two original guys on the team now. I must say I'm looking forward to "The Gone Dead Train," though. I like it when the CSIs get attacked. It shows a phsyical weakness.

    Yeah true but Catherine has been in Ray's shadow for too long now, she needs some front and center action. I agree I want Nick & Greg drama too. Greg is the only one (besides Riley)this season who hasn't had a centric episode.

    Well, Doc and Brass haven't either. :lol: But yeah, it's time for Greg to get a centric episode... one that doesn't involve him getting physically hurt (like in the past) or doing something to get in trouble. Just one where a case affects him kind of like Turn Turn Turn affected Nick. But something more than the tiny bit in "Spark Of Life". As for Doc, maybe they could show his band again, that was cool. :lol: And for Brass, maybe the return of Ellie?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe episode 23 is Brass centric and is written by David Rambo. Rambo's eppies always have an amazing emotional punch to them, and it's Brass-the only other character who can bring me to tears besides Nick-so with the combination of writer and actor I'm betting it will be a good one.

    I swear if there were Emmys for best TV criers, Paul and George would tie! :guffaw:

    It is a David Rambo episode. It's a shame we only got two episodes from his this season. I would have liked more from him this season!

    This is from a link I posted in the "Space Oddity" thread.

    Just a couple of tidbits of upcoming episodes.

    Coming up later this season on "CSI": Henry Thomas guest stars in next week's episode. In one upcoming episode, Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne) and Al Robbins (Robert David Hall) go on a road trip. And the "Vegas oriented" season finale will have a "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" feel, Shankar said. Gerald McRaney will play a shady cowboy, and part of the episode will be shot on location.

    It will be cool to see Robbins outside of the lab and a road trip? With two pathologists, could be interesting.

    Oooh, road trip! I thought the Gone Dead Train pics of those two looked like they were somewhere different. Or is it a different episode when they leave Vegas?

    Well I'm looking forward to that episode then :) I love emotional Jim... when he cries, I need to cry too... like when Nicky lets the tears fall.

    David Rambo is a great choice for an episode like that. That will de Drama, Drama, Drama. Great for us :)

    Yeah that's true... maybe they should get one if not for crying, then they should get one for their great acting :D

    From Ausiello regarding the finale:

    "Thursday, May 14
    The CSIs investigate a series of murders tied to a scam involving valuable poker chips from a long-gone casino and Det. Ray Langston must use deadly force for the first time in his career as a CSI. Cynthia Watros and Gerald McRaney guest star."

    Apologies if this has been posted before.
    I hadn't heard the 'deadly force' angle before, but I was out of touch for awhile.

    That sounds almost exactly like the "Stokes 4 Me" scenario, only with Ray instead.

    Has Nick ever even shot someone (on the show)? I mean, I know we can say that its possible both he and Riley have in the past being that they both used to be cops, but do we know for sure if Nick ever has?

    Hopefully if Ray has to kill someone (wait a minute, he doesn't even carry a gun! how does he use deadly force? :wtf: )... anyway... if he does kill someone, maybe this will open up a way for him and Greg to bond a little cause if Ray feels bad about it, Greg would definitely understand and give him some advice on how to deal. I mean, we could get a scene sort of like with Nick/Ray in Turn, Turn, Turn... only with Ray/Greg instead.

    It would be a great oppurtunity to include Greg (who desperately needs something else to do besides A/V stuff and interviewing suspects/witnesses). :crosses fingers:
