Paula Francis is back!
Does anybody know exactly how much Sara will appear in this episode?

Nobody can really tell how much screentime the characters will get until the episode airs :lol:

I'm wondering how they'll make them 'come alive' this time... I hope it isn't just them being mistaken for dead by poor Dave again. Maybe something like that pufferfish poison that was on a Miami episode once?

And of course I'm looking forward to seeing Archie and Henry again

I'm going to be optimistic given that Sara is in a lot of the pictures for this episode and say that she shows up a bunch (which in my opinion is awesome).

The director of this is Paul McCrane, as in Rocket Romano from ER?

Huh. I like it if it's the same Paul McCrane.

This ep looks interesting. I kind of hope they play Miser's version of "Zombie" in the ep.

Yes, Paul McCrane aka Rocket Romano

Howard Hesseman will always be Dr. Johnny Fever to me.
Looking forward to seeing him again. And, he's playing another 'doctor'? :lol:
I suspect there will be drugs involved.
It's hard to speculate about this one since it sounds so 'out there'. Looking forward to it, though. Jorja, Romano, and Johnny Fever; oh my!

ETA: The title gives me a 'The Ring' type vibe.

Hmm...I can't help but think about Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare when picturing this but that's just the gamer nerd in me coming out. I don't think anyone on here even knows what Red Dead Redemption is so I don't even know why I'm mentioning it.

I really can't help but wonder if the CSI writers have their clocks messed up. A zombie epidemic in February? Shouldn't that be in October? What's next? *announcer voice* "A dead Easter bunny is found dropped off in front of the labs, tune in on October 22th to find out who whacked off the bunny." That sounds like a great idea for a future episode.
I'm kind of hoping the zombie thing will just be a minor thing in the episode like being part of the one-liner that happens before the first commercial break.

Excluding the zombie thing this sounds like a pretty good epi. As long as there is some Jorja sprinkled in with a little bit of Hodges humor it'll be good. I'm secretly hoping Cath won't be too busy taking care of her man to show up to work.

Well I was reminded more of Resident Evil than Red Dead when it said about bodies mysteriously coming back to life, and that takes place in July so I don’t really find any fault in them having a zombie episode in February :lol:

Even tho I like spoilers...sometimes...I made the mistake of starting the companion game to this episode in CSI: Crime City. So I have an idea as to what makes the zombies "zombies". Even so, I don't really know too much about this one going into it, so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised with a good episode.

Maybe the "zombies" can hook up with the werewolves and vampires, and all get together and party. I've met some people who sometimes act like "zombies", maybe they're on the show, then there are the "furries and plushies" that would be some kind of weird get together:wtf:

Ray/Sara sneak peek.

Fringe did a reanimating storyline last month (really dark and creepy stuff) and I kind of feel like CSI is leaning on other shows/movies to find success this year. You have the whole vampire/werewolf convention from "Blood Moon" (Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood all being big hits), "House of Hoarders" from the TV show Hoarders, and now this episode coming up with all the Walking Dead acclaim.

Remember when the show did original stories?

Thank's vegaslights look's intruguing, Ray and Sara work in-sync together, should be an interesting episode~

Whoa, DragonFriend95 got my Red Dead Redemption reference and mentioned Resident Evil in the same sentence? I think my mind just got officially blown.
I don't really like zombies any way so maybe that's why I would prefer if this episode was in October. Zombies are carriers of disease and need to be eradicated before they infect us all with their gooey sickness that they fling from their throats. Well...that's what movies have taught me about zombies.
