    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    To quote the football coach Jim Mora from where you derived your screen name, I doubt you know "diddley-poo" about the inner workings of a CSILV production. Google it. Keyboard warriors. So mid-2000s.

    "Merchants of Menace" Discussion *Spoilers*

    It was a nice reference back to past times. I thought this was OK. The "odd people convention in LV" theme has worked in the past. And since there was no Gi...I won't say the rest...reference, it was fun to see some omage to the past. I Know that's being maudlin. So sue me. Didn't watch...

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    Of those 5 "likely suspects," a few thoughts... Either of the M.E.'s -- seems doubtful from a script perspective. Neither are ever much in the line of fire. Doc is rarely in the field. I know they killed off a M.E. on Miami years back, but that was utterly preposterous. Ecklie -- as...

    "The Greater Good" Discussion *Spoilers*

    I saw the print previews and made en effort to avoid this episode. Those two words make me turn away. Which is a shame, because I've been to Gig Harbor, WA. It's a very quaint seaport and very serene. They're giving it a bad name! As a guy, I can see some merits in this sort of behavior...

    "Dead Woods" Discussion *Spoilers*

    First episode I've watched in a few weeks. Makes you wonder if long-time watchers would lay the blame for this obvious lack of oversight on Grissom himself. BTW, why does Sara have a dozen open cases? I know they've done the "let's reopen a closed case" theme before, but it was always an...

    "Rubbery Homicide" Discussion

    Well, I guess you could say someone in the writer's room finally had a sense of humor. The episode reminded me a bit of the much older "Fur and Loathing" sendup, which was cheekier and had better puns. Is this an actual scene in Las Vegas, dressing up like a rubber doll?

    "The Twin Paradox" Discussion

    Agree with most of the above. You don't go around inventing a backstory for a decade+ age drama. If the show were new, maybe a season or two, and it had real potential, then the backstory deepens the characters and can make for twists and turns. Heck, the certainly did this with CSIM. But...

    "The Twin Paradox" Discussion

    Turned this on after the game, heard the words "Gig Harbor," and turned it right off.

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    (1) CBS and ABC (ESPN) are owned by different holding companies. (1a) CBS paid into the hundreds of millions for an NFL (specifically AFC) rights contract. Whatever they paid to license CSI probably pales in comparison. More ad revenue in a football game than a worn-out crime procedural...

    "The CSI Effect" Discussion

    It was an "OK" episode. But if this whole season is going to be a 20-episode single-homicide drama with nothing solved at the end, viewers will leave in droves. The show is too old and staid to pull off this kind of stunt like they did on Suits. They've already done the "quirky serial killer"...

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    I know the writers claim they don't steal plot lines from the current news (we all know that is bunk, and not Bunk Moreland), so I wonder if they will try and write in a few of the salacious news tidbits coming out of Las Vegas these days. 1. MMA fighter beat up his porn star girlfriend and...

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    Re: Season 15 Spoiler Lab Pics and Discussion It would be fitting if there were a lowlife Joe Francis-type character as the victim here. Maybe he has been gunned down by someone who "modeled" for him without her consent to be filmed or photographed.

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    Re: Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion If there is any consolation here, I posit that filming out of sequence might mean the writers are paying attention to a coherent story arc. I know that's giving a lot of credit where it has not been earned lately, but...

    Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion and Pics

    Re: Season 15 Spoiler Lab Discussion I heard they found a letter in her office drawer after she cleared out. It read: "Dear Carol: The ship is sinking. Do what I did: jump off and swim to shore while you can.: Sincerely, Captain & Crew of the Costa Concordia." :D :D :D

    CSI to Sundays

    BTW, didn't CBS once try this "3-hour crime block" stunt on Friday nights with CSINY, Blue Bloods and some other show about a New Jersey lawyer? How'd that work out?

    CSI to Sundays

    I won't go into Thursday NFL, since its pertinence to CSI has become irrelevant for now. Sundays on CBS work like this: CBS and FOX usually have a 1:00 p.m. ET game. They alternate between who carries the later game (4:05 or 4:25, depending). Those weeks when CBS carries two games are the...

    "Dead In His Tracks" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    Agree 100%. A very underwhelming episode in general, let alone a season finale and the end of an iconic character. I thought there weren't going to be any loose ends, no cliffhangers. Yet the show ends with no mention of his departure from the LVPD. Also, the former cop/amateur...

    William Petersen on Set

    Strange, neither have the show's writers. :guffaw:

    Goodbye, Paul Guilfoyle

    Agree with most of what's been said here so far. I do recall PG talked at some point about living in NYC and commuting to L.A. for the show. But that is no excuse to just write him out of the story line altogether. The writing for the show has been substandard for some time now. Silly plot...

    Season 14 Spoiler Lab Discussion

    <-- smells the scent of desperation upon the cool night wind. Dear Patricia, Congrats on your new role. If you need any help creating a "quirky" character, my old show's writers will be happy to assist. Sincerely, Tony Shaloub :guffaw:
