CSI:Magazine Awards

And since Grissom was just going to go to Sara's room and we were suppose to hear heavy breathing coming out of said room, it would have ruined the premise of the episode and proves it was just written to bring out GSR.

I know about the double posting rule, but I wanted to respond to this quote and I totally agree about this.

It was a beautiful episode the way it was and it's sad to think it was supposed to be a GSR moment instead of the wonderful story about a CSI six months after dealing with his own trauma helping a child thorugh hers. It was praised by critics alike and George proved his acting chops as well as his battle for the integrity of his character-whom the writers have not always treated well.

And Way To Go was a sad episode because if ANYONE remembers, Brass was shot and nearly died! This should have been a Brass eppy, but instead it went to GSR and sadly Paul got some of his limelight taken from him-and he's one of the best actors on the show and is on par with George with giving awesome, emotional perforances.

So with this long tirade, there is relevant point here-I'd like a category with a Best [Insert character here] episode.

Such as "What was the best Nick episode?" or "What was the best Brass episode?"

Give the fans of each character a chance to sort of talk amongst themselves about the best episode of their character.

Most memorable crime scene Ther have been hundreds crime scenes over the course of CSI's 9 years, but Sara Sidle trapped under a Mustang in the Nevada desert, with rain pouring in around her, is the one who got your vote. And who are we to argue--I'ts a sensational sequence! winner Dead Doll second Minature Killer [various epsiodes] Shower death Butterflied!

I don't agree (and I didn't vote in this poll, I didn't even know this poll was going on). I could give many other even more wonderful scenes of CSI's in peril.

How about a man buried alive, you felt his pain. I didn't feel that with Sara, but I felt Brass's pain when he realized he accidentally shot a cop! That was painful! I felt Catherine's pain when she woke up in a hotel room and then processed herself because she thought she had been raped and then her daughter was kidnapped and her dad shot, all within 48 hours! I think I would have been driven to drinking if that were me!:eek:

Maybe a "Best CSI In Peril" category.

Sorry Destiny, I won't tell you how to do your job.
 
I think it's polls like these that start pointless arguments. There's always going to be some reason why the poll is unfair.
 
^ You nailed it, kc.

Now about the group scene, how about the ending scene from season 5's Who Shot Sherlock?. My favorite will always be the end of Strip Strangler, but if I have to pick a scene that involves the entire "team", then I think the WSS one would be a great choice. You even get the jello man! :D
 
For a group scene I'd pick Brass's fan club in "Way to Go". That really does have all the team, including Brass and Robbins.

Doh! :slaps self in forehead: How did I forget that one? :lol:

Sorry, I just noticed this:

This makes me laugh!! Dead Doll? Dude, it's a Hot Wheels in a sandbox! :lol:

Who knew I had an award-winning crime scene in my back yard? :guffaw:

Here's some alternatives: The garage scene from Toe Tags. Or, the scene from the episode where the boys are doing their own version of "Jackass" and they shoot up a warehouse. The house from Gum Drops. The alley in Fannysmackin', the dressing room in Rashomama, the bus from the one where the bus crashed.

I'm sorry, but that thing about hot wheels in a sandbox just made me die laughing. :guffaw:

I agree. You can't make everyone happy. I think it's almost better to just let people do polls/etc. within their own discussions (like let Catherine fans vote on their fave Cath episode in the Cath/Marg forum). It feels like whenever TPTB or another authority figure designates a character or episode as official or favorite, it just aggravates people who weren't fans of that particular character or of the character/ship most central to the episode. I think many people (and I definitely don't exclude myself from this category) are opinionated and care about their favorite character and/or ship and, consequentially, when a poll, or anything else, seems guilty of a slight toward our favorite(s), it doesn't exactly make us happy. Overall, I think we're best off letting people make up their own opinions within separate discussion forums on the site. No matter how you conduct the poll, you're going to end up making someone angry.

Even if you make a category for 'favorite (insert character here) episode or scene,' there can still be biases. I just think back to the fanfic awards. There were a lot of great Greg fics this year (I think, especially, of MsMaggs and WitchGirl), but the fic that won was one about GSR from Greg's perspective. I'm a Nick/Greg shipper and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if, were there a Nick-Greg friendship scene category, the scene where Nick asks if Greg knew about GSR would win, or if, in a Greg scene category, it would still be one about GSR.

I agree, which is why we should not have a ship category. For once let's have CSI sans GSR if that is possible as one has become so entwined with the other that it cannot be detached which is sad.

Let's have no ship category at all.
 
I totally disagree, this couple have been part of CSI, since the onset, and if you leave out this part & they've been an intergral part of CSI, and you may as well, leave out the gory parts, the nasty parts, the 'what happened' parts and other things that might offend fans. This has happened on the show and maybe some fans will be honored to participate in their views, theories, ideas and opinions, the ones who don't care to vote on certain aspects of this, then don't!! but if our moderator Destiny chooses what she thinks is best, than that's a wrap:thumbsup:


Some cool quotes from the new TV Guide, on their boss leaving~

George Eads::"Here's the stuff that gets me emotional: In his final episode there's a moment when we realize Grissom isn't a huggy, going-away-party kind of guy. At one point, I say the line "I'll never forget all the things you taught me" Grissom was supposed to say "You did a good job" but Billy said "You were my best student, Nick" He often did that--change a line at the last minute without telling anyone. But when he said it that day, the floodgates opened for me":(

Wallace Langham "Science can be boring but Billy found a way to bring in a human element to it. That's a tribute to his charisma. The minute he walked on the set it was always exciting. We called him the KING, and now the KING is gone, As the court jester, I don't really have anyone to play to anymore"

Robert David Hall "You don't replace Billy, Laurence Fishburne is an amazing actor and a joy to work with, but Billy created a Sherlock Holmes for the 21st century. He's a true icon and somehow he avoided the usual divalike behavior that comes along with that sort of achievment. More that anything he was agood guy to work with. He would hate me for being this sappy, but I already miss him alot"

Marg Helgenberger "I was an emotional wreck on Billy's last day. Actually the last two weeks leading up to his departure. It was hard for me to keep it together. We had an amazing, sometime turbulent ride together, and I wouodn't have wanted to share it with anyone else. The KING has left the building"

No Paul, Gary, Eric or Jorja comments in this article:confused:
 
First of all, the comment quoted above from George includes what some may consider a spoiler; would you wrap tags around it please? Thanks :)

Secondly, I completely disagree with this:

I totally disagree, this couple have been part of CSI, since the onset, and if you leave out this part & they've been an intergral part of CSI, ...

GSR is not, nor was it ever intended to be, an "integral part" of CSI. It's not even a B story. Take a realistic look at how that relationship played out - Sara mooned over her boss until it finally started to sink in three and a half seasons later, and it still took another two and a half seasons for us to see anything except furtive looks and sideways remarks. Now, if the whole GSR ship is your bag, then good for you - it's canon. Congratulations. It's still a ship. Can we move on please?

A category I'd like to see? Best snarky moment. And let's not forget about the bad guys who aren't criminals - Ecklie, for example, and McKeen was kind of a ding-a-ling even before he shot Warrick. Grissom's mentor - can't remember his name - and the poofy-haired defense attorney chick. Clearly, I can't remember her name either! :guffaw:
 
Desertwind, how does those quotes support your theory that GSR is an integral part of CSI? Those quotes are about Billy Petersen! Believe it or not there is a Grissom character that is separate from a Sara character!

Please for once can have a CSI without a GSR?! Is that humanly possible!?

The *spoiler* tags weren't used because this is in a Magazine that's already out, and it's whole articles have already been posted in another thread, so it's not spoiler news anymore, and to each ones own, on the ship issue, some want it some don't as stated. If not intereted than it's a moot point to comment, If I weren't interested than I wouldn't bother to reply to something that didn't mean anything to me, but some are interested, to each ones own;) moving on, how about all the funny one liners from all of them. Brass would probably win in this category~

Even though it's in a article, and posted in another thread, it can still be deemed a spoiler until the episode airs.
 
Yes and the other thread the article was posted in was the spoiler thread. Someone posted it in Texan Charm, but I warned everyone that there was a spoiler on it.

So being that it was posted in the spoiler thread, it is still considered a spoiler.
 
I bow down in to you all, sorry I could have changed it, but another fan put my post in "QUOTES" so gosh another mistake:( 20 lashes with a big wet noodle~
