CSI Files

Captain
<I>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</I> tries something new.<p>The November 6 episode of <I>CSI</I>, <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/csi/season9/leave_out_all_the_rest.shtml">"Leave Out All the Rest"</a>, will do something that has never been done before. CBS and Warner Brothers have worked out a deal with the band <font color=yellow>Linkin Park</font> to feature the fifth single from their album <I>Minutes to Midnight</I> in the episode. What makes the deal unique is that this will mark the first time a television series has based the entire score of an episode around a single, currently released rock song.<p>The episode is named after the song, "Leave Out All the Rest", and the video can be found on the official YouTube channel <A class="link" HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIummTz9mM">here</a> or watched below. The song will be played at the beginning and end of the episode. "Elements of the song are used throughout the episode to underline and score the building story of Gil Grissom [<font color=yellow>William Petersen</font>] and his unresolved love for Sara Sidle [<font color=yellow>Jorja Fox</font>] who recently left the crime lab," band member <font color=yellow>Mike Shinoda</font> explained on his <A class="link" HREF="http://www.mikeshinoda.com/">blog</a>.<p>"Leave Out All the Rest" also marks the return of Lady Heather (<font color=yellow>Melinda Clarke</font>) to <I>CSI</I>. The character was last seen in <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/csi/season7/the_good_the_bad_and_the_dominatrix.shtml">"The Good, the Bad and the Dominatrix"</a> during the show's seventh season. The official CBS press release for "Leave Out all the Rest" states, "When the CSI team investigates a case involving the world of domination, Grissom pays a visit to Lady Heather to help find some answers."<p>The original news is from <A class="link" HREF="http://lpassociation.com/">The Linkin Park Association</a> and <A class="link" HREF="http://www.mikeshinoda.com/blog/Random/csi_leave_out_all_the_rest">Mike Shinoda's blog</a>.

Awesome song!
I'm actually looking forward to a LH episode. Only Linkin Park could do that for me. lol

But seriously, I'm sure it's huge for them, and they deserve it! Nice blog, Mike.
