    9x06 - "Reality Kills" - **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    There is no "news release" part of CBS' website, so I don't know how or why they will choose to cover their as...errrr...explain this brain fart. This show is obviously headed for the cancel button, they couldn't broadcast it more clearly. Eddie Cibrian can sit back with LeAnn and munch on...

    "Bump and Grind" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    Well, there was a recent story about a convict who murdered his wife, snuck an iPhone into the pokey, and was maintaining a Facebook page, where he brazenly displayed his "status" as "Widowed," and trying to befriend his wife's family. :wtf:

    Grade 'Hide Sight'

    Recorded it and Blue Bloods b2b. I thought it was enjoyable, better than average. The idea of a sniper running around NYC simply because he didn't get enough attention is a bit of a stretch--the level of hysteria would immediately harken back to David Berkowitz, especially with the innate...

    "Bump and Grind" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    FWIW, I imagine this episode took a lot of inspiration from the real-life saga of Todd Davis, and his ID protection company, LifeLock. You will remember him as the fool who paraded around Times Square on a truck with his Social Security number on it. Well, it turns out that his company was...

    'New York' Considers Romance For Newcomer Jo Danville

    This would presumably have to happen later in the season. They are flushing out her backstory pretty slowly. I guess I don't mind that, but throwing her together with a BF would be premature at this point.

    Hawaii Five-0: The next generation

    RIP James MacArthur. 1937-2010. The last of the original cast. "Book 'em, Dan-O!" :D

    The Last Movie You Saw - Thread 4

    I finally got around to watching Inglorious Basterds. It's a fun movie, and the ending is rather unexpected, as you would expect from Tarantino. And Melanie Laurent is a first-rate actress.

    Blue Bloods

    100% agree. Blue Bloods is a great new series. The generational transfer of knowledge from grandfather to father to son/grandson reminds me of Frasier. How about a crossover with Sinise/Selleck/Fishburne? :drool:

    Eric/Calleigh storyline -- why we dislike it. Part 2 **spoilers**

    There was a refreshing absence of the "no-mance" last week. And the pseudo tiff could be best described as an "un-spat." Given the issues involved, there would be a lot more emotion in reality (see comments about Bizarro-Miami :D ).

    9x04 - 'Manhunt' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    IIRC, there wasn't much of a mention of Memmo's family in the earlier episodes. Which makes it all the more annoying that he, all of a sudden, has these deep-seeded feelings for his daughter, but has no compunction about killing a dozen other people. How do you base an entire episode around...

    9x04 - 'Manhunt' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    Pathetic. If they are going to write a two-part episode, please give us the common courtesy of telling us as much. Watching this d-bag escape un-killed is über stupid. They spent half the show splaying FCC-permissible expletives at this guy, and we don't get the common satisfaction of him...

    Grade 'Out of the Sky'

    Agree with what was said before. It's not going to set the entertainment world afire, but it was fun, with a twist at the end (that I probably should have seen coming). In real life, defense attorney's probably don't have the chip on their shoulder that this guy did about the police. But...

    "House Of Hoarders" Discussion **Spoilers**

    Ramon deOcampo (Julian Santiago) was also in "Harvest" in 2004, the episode where the terminally ill kid kills his sister, who his parents bore to harvest for tissue and body parts. His sister in that episode was also named Alicia. He even calls her by the same accent (ah-LEE-cee-yah)

    CSI Was Pitched to ABC First.

    The big problem would be ABC/Touchstone having to front the production costs, which were estimated to be $1 million per episode. That's a $20 million investment if you buy a full season. CBS ran with it because they only had to front $200k of each episode. Bruckheimer had self-financed the...

    **Season Nine Spoiler Lab**

    Either that, or they've been watching "Deadliest Catch." :lol:

    Grade 'Sangre Por Sangre'

    I think you missed the double irony of the end. Luther is killing his gang's leaders because they have become the antithesis to the early days of his gang. But in order to return his gang to its prior state, he must use the same unsavory methods he decries. Second irony: Mac shoots Luther...

    Eric/Calleigh storyline -- why we dislike it. Part 2 **spoilers**

    IIRC, they gave him his official return at the end of last season. But then again, this is not real Miami, this is Bizarro-Miami, where DNA tests happen faster than a pot of coffee, mid-level police employees drive around in $50,000 Hummers, the crime "lab" is more art-deco than the MOMA, and...

    Episode 9x03 - 'See No Evil' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    I hope the "less no-mance, more plot" concept continues. Is it also possible this may be one of those elusive "murder-less" episodes??? Please. You may recall Erika Eleniak from Baywatch. Or you can root around your Dad's PB collection, she's been in a few of those, too. :D

    CSI Was Pitched to ABC First.

    I think the story was less about ABC passing on the show, and more about the culture of intellectual hubris that Eisner had brought into Disney. At the time, Disney's resurgence was still a new phenomenon. And Bruckheimer was already one of the most successful producers at that time. Telling...

    CSI Was Pitched to ABC First.

    Talk about an epic fail. I'm reading the book Disneywar about the troubled tenure of Michael Eisner at Disney, his fights with Roy Disney, etc.. Apparently the following story played out. Two weeks after ABC and Touchstone Pictures merged (and by all accounts, it was ugly), the new head of...
