Greg has always been interesting as a character when he's learning or transitioning. Short of becoming a supervisor, CSI Level-3 is about as far as he can go professionally...Greg's always been the character that's been more ambitious and eager to take on new things, but it's been a while since...

I'm beginning to think that the CSI franchise is the new Law and Order in that the format will outlive the cast. CSI is a show heading into it's eleventh season. Really the only surprising thing about some of the major casting changes that have happened (and will continue to happen) is that...

I'd like to think Riley's departure would be explained by her taking a cop job (I think she's better suited to being a cop or even a homicide detective) in another judisdiction.

Being a bit of a Langston gusher, I'm eager to see them expand his character's authority but NOT his screen time. I'd like to think that last season was simply a case of the writers and producers over-compensating for the loss of their leading man by trying to establish their new lead as...

I think a bit of a ratings dip given all the changes in season 9 was probably inevitable given all the changes the show went through. Assuming the show does stay somewhat critically and financially viable for CBS, there's probably no reason why it couldn't run a couple more seasons, even if...

I'm gonna nominate another Canadian....Tara Spencer-Nairn, recently of "Corner Gas" fame. Now that the show's finished it's very respectable 6-year run, I imagine she's looking for work. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0818166/ She's played a cop (albeit in a comedy), but has a bunch of...

Couple of Minor points: 1) Riley has come in as a CSI level 2 - meaning she's already been doing that job for some time, just not in Vegas. I remember reading something in her backstory that she had transferred from St. Louis and had spent actual time as a uniformed officer before becoming a...

Re: Warrick's death You'll probably want to watch "Cockroaches" and "Lying Down with Dogs" (s08 eps 09 and 10) - those are the episodes that show how Warrick's personal life and work life are starting to clash and sets things in motion for the events of "For Gedda" and "For Warrick." Without...

Marg Helgenberger and Laurence Fishburne (as well as most of the supporting cast) have contracts through to the end of season 10. Unless ratings take an overnight nose dive, CSI will finish with at least 10 seasons. Even if people like Marg Helgenberger left after season 10, I'm starting to...

I'm guessing the new credits go: Starring Marg Helgenberger George Eads Eric Szmanda Robert David Hall Wallace Langham Lauren Lee Smith with Laurence Fishburne and Paul Guilfoyle. On the outside chance that Liz Vassey and David Berman are added to the credits, they'd be added between Lauren...

at the risk of completely derailing the discussion... Has Laurence Fishburne begun shooting his scenes yet, and if so, does his character have a name yet?

In other news, Canada's going to the polls on Oct 14. Looks like Stephen Harper's Conservative Party will probably get a majority this time. When McCain wins, where will all the sulking liberal blue-staters in the US threaten to move to? Canada's been veering further to the right the last...

Being well liked by foreign leaders is overrated. Frankly, there are plenty of countries whose opinions and issues mean precisely dick in the grand scheme of things. The leaders on these banana republics and other petty thug dictators don't need to be understood. They need to be marginalized...

This whole Palin's daughter pregnancy thing will be be a non-issue. Not that teen pregnancy is something to celebrate on the side of a campaign bus, but plenty of families of all political stripes go through it - if anything it further humanizes that family. McCain obviously knew about this...

My politics have always been right-wing, borderline libertatian, and while much of the republican based wasn't thrilled when Mccain became the nominee apparent, there are worse things that could have happened. Let's face it...nobody even remotely connected to the Bush administration was going...

The credits list Fishburne and Helgenberger first as they are the male and female leads, then the rest of the CSIs in alphabetical order (which is usually the case on most show when several characters have equal roles. The real credits do the same) then the coroners/labrats/detectives/others...

My read on Ecklie is that he's always been very career driven, and he saw his work at CSI as a necessary stepping stone towards a high-profile management job. As for Riley, I'm hoping her character plays out a little bit like: "I have all the training in the world, passed all the physical and...

No idea who I would cast or what kind of characters I'd create, but how about: CSI: Feds Set in the FBI's central crime lab in Quanitco. The cases would be more high-profile, political, and there would be a lot of tension when our characters roll into town an upstage local law enforcement.

I know I'm in an overwhelming minority here, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing an expanded role for Ecklie. I don't see him as a terrible guy, he just doesn't get along well with Grissom. With the whole Warrick being shot by the undersherrif thing, I think Ecklie's bureaucratic skills...

Hypothetical season 9 theme/intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqxsyDssklg I had to recut the original "who are You" track to accommodate the larger cast, but I think it's pretty much seamless. Those who are heartbroken about WP, JF and GD not being there probably shouldn't watch this.
