That's the kind of thing that'll probably make me cry. Not some sappy romance but this... A troubled man in a downhill turnmoil facing some extreme consequences.

I'm pretty sure i'll cry next thursday. It look so intense.
 
Oh goodness. I'm not ready. I'm just not ready.

Why does it have to be Warrick? My Warrick? My favorite character for the past 7 or 8 years. This is just too hard for me. I'm just sooo not ready. I'm trying to remain calm and optomistic, but that's just really hard for me. I mean, this could be so very bad for him. I was calm, collected, and willing to hold on to hope with Sara this sumemr though, so I guess I can do it. Warrick is going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. Right? I'm so going to cry. I'm going to ball. I'm probably going to break down into sobs.

I just hope that this isn't the end of YoBling as we know it. That would be terrible.

But since my birthday is four days after the air of the episode... it has to be okay. They're going to give me something to smile about.

They have to, right?

I don't really care about the Yobling but if they drag Rick's character in the dirt - I will be done with CSI. This is the crossroads ep for me - destroy the character and I'm gone.

I hope Nick's there for his bro - I hope Nick tears Griss a new one while he's at it. :mad:

Congrats! ;)
 
They finally get William Friedkin to direct an episode...I hope it lives up to the billing and that they don't waste the opportunity. The show is going to have to be so much more, and hopefully centered around the crime, and not around Warrick and his angst.

Well the director ca only work with what the writers ar handing hi and I am not so sure these are capable of writing a good crime-story any longer. The sleeping with an ill-reputed woman has already been done once so I fear it's just or re-hashing of old stories. Just with an other character and some other circumstances.

The fact is that a very similar story has already been told once. But I'm hoping it will pan out and be good.
 
oh dear! that's shocking! Im just really glad Warrick's back with a storyline, even this isnt a nice way to bring him on the map.
 
At first I was worried that this would end up being too similar to Nick's thing with Kristy, but seeing the promo I don't think it will be. Yes, it still involves a stripper/hooker and one of the CSIs, but this girl falls into the category of Warrick's collapse, whereas with Nick she was just a girl that he liked. This episode is about Warrick's issues and she's part of that, so I'm not worried about repeated plotlines. The promo was good, Warrick seems to be getting into a lot of crap this week, I'm excited, it's about time he has a storyline of his own. Also, the chase scene with the garbage truck looks really cool.
 
I agree with CSI247 that after seeing the preview I'm no longer worried that it will be a repeat of the Nick/Kristy thing, but now I have something else to be worried about.

They'd been doing such a nice, steady build up to this, and it seems, from that preview, that now they're just gonna open the flood gates, and it'll all come crashing down at once. It seems like it'll be a Warrickcentric ep and ONCE AGAIN not focus as much on the forensics. So right now, I'm not expecting much, but I'm open to being surprised. We'll see what happens next Thursday.
 
Agreed with CSI and Libertybell. Doesn't seem like a Nick storyplot ripoff.

Finally, a Warrickcentric ep, which we haven't had since forever. Yay. Thanks for the promos, guys. :D
 
This whole thing with Warrick came on so sudden. One moment he's fine and dandy, and the next thing we know he's popping pills and his behavior is totally altered. Just that quick. Very odd.

I hope he doesn't pick on Greg while he's in a drug induced haze.
