'C.S.I.’
Heading into its seventh season, “C.S.I.” presents quite a challenge: is there a subculture of freaks or perverts that hasn't yet exploited for a titillating storyline? Enough with the plushies, adult babies, dwarves and werewolves; a few more crimes that don’t seem to have been inspired by a flip through Bizarre magazine would be nice.
The sixth-season finale left us with the suggestion that Sara (Jorja Fox) and Grissom (William Petersen) might finally resolve their alleged sexual tension. However, given that they have no chemistry — she comes off less as having the hots for Grissom than wanting to be the ultimate teacher’s pet — split these two and hook up the pair of investigators we spent all last season waiting for: Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) and Warrick (Gary Dourdan)! Failing that, we’ll settle for Nick (George Eads) and Greg (Eric Szmanda).
