I personally cannot wait for this episode. I hope they don't do anything to dramatic to Greg, but I cannot wait to see him carry a gun.

 

Me too, I am both nervous and excited about this one. The hostage situation, Greg with a gun.

 

As cliche as they are, I'm a huge fan of characters being Kidnapped/Held hostage/Buried Alive/Shot/Blown up/Trapped under cars/Framed/Beat up/Ect.

So yeah. I'm looking forward to this episode. This will probably be a good chance to boost the character developement of both Ray and Reily. I currently feel distant from both of these characters but there's nothing like a good old hostage bash to make me get attatched.
Although, it does seem a bit soon to do the whole CSIs in danger thing. What are they going to do for the finale now?
Maybe I'll mosey on over to the Spoiler thread.

 

What a coincedence, I am a big fan of "CSIs in danger" too (especially Grave Danger), but I think that this will just be minor. At least, I hope it is, just so there's more action for the season finale. Then again, there's been season finales that didn't have all of this danger stuff in them.

 

We don't even know what the season finale for CSI is going to be. That episode is fake, so we can talking about the fake episode 'till the real episode come out in May. We may get Greg for season finale. We haven't got Greg seaon finale. We got Nick, Grissom, Catherine, Warrick, and Sara season finale, but not Greg season finale.

 

I don't think anything will happen actually,those previews are always so dramatic and then the audience is let down. I would assume that because he is a CSI three he has to carry a gun...Even Grissom carried a gun,sometimes.He's already killed someone with a car,protecting the older man so I don't think he will kill anybody...maybe he goofs something up,the ctv promo said that there is a covert operation. Who knows?

 

I love eps where they are in danger because it shows me different sides of the actor.

I am hoping there is a Greg episode soon *crosses fingers*

 

I loves the cliched "character in danger" episodes. Every story I write has a character in danger. I just like the concept of a character having a life-threatening situation, even if I know they'll get out of it, and even though it's done so much. I don't even know why I like them.

It's funny, because when I saw the promo the first thing I thought was "Ooh, we're breaking our new CSIs in early!"

 

I don't think this episode will be tooo greg centric, but him suddenly having gun in hand is new and intrigueing. I am guessing at some point all CSI's must pass a firearms exam (Natalia in Miami had to), but they don't necessarily have to carry a gun.

In relation to the whole "greg's career might end" thing: I don't think anyone would give Greg a gun if he wasn't qualified to use it, but if he DOES use it and messes up, he would be fired and whoever put him up to it would face consequences too.

I always thought about that part as: maybe Greg gets in a little graze, maybe permenantly injures himself (idk, a hand or something) and that puts his career in danger.

 

Wow, I saw the preview and Riley gets a beatin'. Poor girl. She just started the job. I wonder if she'll be thinking afterrwards, "This was not worth the trip to Vegas!"

I don't think Greg's going to get into any trouble. If he uses his gun, it will be to save someone.

 

yeah i agree...but hopefully he will get more lines/airtime.*closes eyes and wishes*

 

I think Greg ends up getting himself in trouble tho... in the promo on CTV tonight I was seeing Greg with a gun to his head I think... it was such a quick flash it was hard to tell but I'm sure it was Greg, gun to head or Greg with a gun to someone's head... EKK!
