    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    I am thinking that Warrick is certainly due some camera time, I wouldn't be shocked to have his personal life become one of the ongoing story arcs of the year. He has certainly been light on screen time the last couple of years except as second banana on some cases. I think that this year a...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Not really... the second and third place items are similar versions of the same thing. Add them together, and GSR is a jumping moment. I think that from CBS's point of view, CSI is to strong a franchise to just let drop at the end of the season. Look at Law and Order and NBC, which has run...

    Season 8: "Dead Doll" Discussion *SPOILERS*

    Re: "Dead Doll" Discussion **SPOILERS** So far, what do we have? Sara alive under a car. Rain coming (was indicated in living Doll as there was lightning and thunder when Natalie was picked up, giving the idea that it may have already been raining for some time). Grissom waters the model...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    The idea of GSR "good or bad" isn't so much the subject here. In a sense, especially after having re-watched the cliff hanger last night, it is clear that the relationship is a bad thing. While Natalie might be a very observant girl that noticed something that other might not have, the reality...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark xfcanadian: You hit it exactly. Grissom has spent 6 seasons lecturing everyone and their dog about "don't have a social life, it just gets in the way". He has been especially harsh on Catherine (who honestly has earned much of it...

    Season 8 *Spoiler Lab* Discussion - Part 2

    Nothing is clear at this point, but there is some potential for the rats if the show splits into two "shifts" or Sara takes a sabbatical. Archie has suggested in at least one episode that he would want to go into the field (and Hodges has specifically said "never"). I think you may see Archie...

    Season 8 *Spoiler Lab* Discussion - Part 2

    For discussions of the implications for season 8 (and the potential for major "shark jumping") you can check out: http://talk.csifiles.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1273130 Anyone else notice that some of the show titles are tilted towards "someone is leaving"?

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark Grizzom, I gotta like your attitude. The good news is that Britney Spears can't barely function in real life, let alone show up on time for an acting job, so that won't happen... and the Sara pregnant rumors have been running for...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Well, my feeling was that there was three major story arcs in season 7, Miniature Killer, Greg's whole deal in the alley and the following legal and lawsuit action, and GSR. I have a feeling in some ways that GSR was allowed to flourish and be visible specifically to create the tension of the...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Desertwind: Actually, you sort of make my point for me. In each of the cases you site, the couple is working at different times or in different parts of the same business. One is not a direct report or a direct supervisor. So yes, the answer is that there could continue to be a ship (and I...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Destiny, sorry, you didn't get it correct at all. "What we have gathered from the original posters claifications this is regarding the happenings of season 7 in regards to the following "MSK, GSR revelation to co-workers (its general impact in/on the lab in that respect), and Sara in being in...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    sararvma: Without discussing your spoiler directly, I would have to say that there is plenty of potential here for Grissom to be moved to a less dangerous spot in the chain of command, potentially by putting someone between him and Sara if and when she comes back. It plays well to my personal...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark Grizzom, I think that for many people, nothing is as obvious as you think. Looking at the history of CSI over the 7 season, the changes are pretty obvious. One of the things about character development, especially relationship-wise...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark Sarahvma, honestly, Grey's pretty much jumped the shark in the first few weeks of season 1, and didn't get better from there. IMHO, they leased all the big shark tanks, set up a bunch of ramps, and put all their characters on jet...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark I went to look and found CSI:NY and not CSI... even though the directory on expressvu specifically said CSI (albeit with a generic show descrption). Interesting, Leaping Lizards was just on Spike. It is interesting to watch the...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark First off, let me say this: I started this thread specifically to get the speculation about the future of CSI structure and characters out of the season 8 spoiler thread. I think many people want to talk about the potential...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    Re: GSR, Miniature Killer, Sara in Peril: Jumping the Shark My take so far on it is this: It would appear that, at least in the short term, Sara won't be in the show or at least not active for the first few shows, in recovery or taking time away from the job. This will give some time for the...

    CSI Jumping the Shark?

    For those who are not aware of what "jumping the skark" means, consult this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_the_shark Season 8 is just about to land on us. We start out with Sara in Peril, GSR finally becoming general knowledge, the MK effectively caught... a near perfect storm, a decent...

    Season 8 *Spoiler Lab* Discussion - Part 2

    I personally believe that Eckley will be involved in something this year that will get him booted out or in some sort of trouble, potentially such that he lets the whole GSR thing slide. His departure would allow for a complete restructuring of the show, which would likely be good for the long...

    Season 8 *Spoiler Lab* Discussion - Part 2

    One of the important things that "shifted" as the series matured was the standard layout of the episodes. Almost all of the episodes in seasons 1 - 4 featured two cases. That allowed for the teaming up of the groups in sets of two or three to work on cases. So pretty much everyone had a part...
