Season 10 *Spoiler Lab* Discussion P2

So, I finally got to see this. I want to know, really, what is Nick's sudden interest in bugs? Spiders of all things. :wtf:

I hope they explain this, because after having red ants all over you and another bug crawl on him, you got the feeling he doesn't want to be around them anymore. Not that I blame him.

I do hope the address this.

 

Alright, I found some scans of the new TV Guide Magazine thanks to fox1 which has some new info about the characters:

Greg:
The lab guy-turned-CSI is tired of being seen as the kid on the team, so this season, he's looking for some respect. Says Szmanda, ''He's not happy with the way things have been, and he wants them to change. This is something he's been holding in all this time, and it'll be a shock to everyone.''

Nick:
With his mentor Grissom gone, Nick may find two ways to fill the void: a pet ("Near the end of last season, he went off to take a bug class", hints exec producer Carol Mendelsohn) and a love interest. "I ain't fighting it," Eads says about the latter idea. "I'd like it to be: Nick comes home, puts his keys up, and there's a girl there making him dinner."

Ray:
This season, newbie Langston gets some experience while on the trail of a serial killer "doing these strange operations on people, putting something inside them that doesn't belong there," says Fishburne. "There's also going to be a wife around, and we may get to meet her." And watch for Langston in a three-way crossover with CSI:NY and CSI:Miami.

The Lab Rats:
Those guys (and gals) in lab coats will get another episode of their own this season. Plus Hodges, who's been crushing on Wendy, will have "a slight misstep and actually come bearing gifts for Catherine," says Mendelsohn. Thanks to budget cuts, Wendy and other members of the lab crew will have to get out into the field to work.

Doc Robbins:
The mild-mannered coroner gets to kick a little live butt at the start of the season when the lab itself becomes a crime scene. "Dr. Robbins is the defender of the coroner's office," Mendelsohn says. He'll also be a key to helping explore the evidence from Langston's serial killer and may get some unexpected help. Adds Mendelsohn: "We have an idea for a new character who may join the coroner's office."

 

I typed up the interview (and I can't find the news thread... maybe looking in the wrong section, and if so, apologies!). No pictures included. Go buy the magazine It's got NICE pictures.

Okay now lets see, TPTB and most of the cast said they did not want to make CSI a soap opera.

GSR is back at least half of the duo and we will be dealing with their problems as indicated in interviews.

Ray is getting a wife and it appears they are having troubles so we will have to be dealing with that.

Nick is getting a love interest, I can see us focusing on that instead of his new job.

The Wendy-Hodges crush thing continues this season.

As much as Marg has been talking about getting a love interest in all of her interviews, I see that coming also.

It was said that this season they wanted to get away from the personal stuff and get back to science, to me it seems they are doing quite the opposite. To much romance now we are heading to soap opera land.

We haven't had much of that for 10 years and I personally like it that way. Why all at once now? Now I get the feeling it is going to be crammed down our throats in every episode. I mean if the majority of them are getting spouses or love interests, each week we will deal with a certain amount of angst from some relationship.

I know many will say its about time, it won't take up screen time. But GSR wasn't focused on all through the show and yet it took away from the characters and changed them, the same with Warrick. His marriage wasn't focused on yet it took something away from his character. Even when Catherine was having her troubles with Eddie it sort of took away from her character.

I am sad to say the more I hear about the upcoming season the less I like it.

That is just how I feel, I know many feel totally the opposite and I respect that.

No matter what happen there are going to be those that aren't happy.

 

Wow, you typed it, instead of scanning it. Well that was really nice of you. :thumbsup: Thanks for posting it! :thumbsup: Going to read it now or later, but just wanted to say that was cool of you to actually TYPE it.

 

Is that going to be Greg's theme song in the musical? 'RESPECT'? I seriously could see him singing that..

 

I'd love a musical episode of CSI. I don't think it'll ever happen unless they treat like it the lab rats episodes that are kind of one off or "special"

And about Nick and his new "pet", maybe going to this bug seminar helped him come to terms with that certain aspect of his time in the box. And also what better way to get over your fears than to face them head on

I can only imagine the characters' reactions to seeing the spider with Nick.
