With respect to William Petersen and his fans, Mr. Rambo could have kept his remarks until Jan 15 when Grissom makes his exit. As far as I am concerned CSI is not CSI without Grissom. And to say that it will be a more exciting CSI after Petersen's is pure BS! In previous seasons, where in certain episodes Grissom was absent - most of my friends agreed that it was not that good. It was simply missing Grissom's presence. And to say that Fishburne and Marge are dynamite together - it should be left to the viewers to decide as only the ratings will prove (after Petersen's exit) if CSI is CSI with Grissom or without.
Only William Petersen can make a socially awkward scientist with an affirmation for bugs and rollercoaster being liked by millions of fans.
“It was hard when Sam died, that was hard"
Let me assure you, Mr. Rambo, it was not hard. It was a relieve, that they got rid of him. It was becoming like an episode of Dynasty. The day he got shot – I could only say “Good Riddance"
I am not sure if I want to watch CSI after Petersen’s exit. Please spare us the pain of seeing Lily in future episodes. And that goes for Lindsay too!!
“Grissom and Lady Heather intellectual relationship is so intense. Honestly, I truthfully think there is nothing intellectual about Lady Heather. She is a fraud. Since, it’s the season to be kind – i will call her a tarot reader. She only excels when it comes to topics regarding S&M. The only way she knew how to get DNA of her daughter’s killer is by sleeping with him. The only way she knew how to raise money for her granddaughter’s future education was to put her “life on sale”. Her granddaughter is only 2. It would take another 16 years before she attends university. And if Lady Heather worked hard like any normal person, she would have saved enough to pay for the child’s education.
In 8 years, Grissom had 5 encounters with Lady Heather. I am a DIE HARD FAN of Grissom/William Petersen. I have always wondered why he associates himself with Lady Heather (besides being involved in cases. Catherine is so right about Grissom needing a slap on his face for associating with Lady Heather.
In Season 9 Lady Heather
“Does Sara know you are here? Am I your little secret?
I was so shocked that such sleazy works could come from a therapist. It was obvious she was hoping to be Grissom’s sloppy seconds! In conclusion, they are just glamorising a whore!
BTW – I have to get this off my chest, In Season 7 Leaving Las Vegas, Catherine had gone to question a suspect in jail. Each time the suspect answered her question, she unbuttoned her blouse. That was the most ridiculous and embarrassing and cheapest thrill I have seen on TV. It makes me wonder which script writer wrote it – can anyone please answer?
m1304m- In general, I would really recommend toning down your comments. It kind of seems like most of the comments I've read of yours tend to incite other fans, especially us Catherine fans.
You say that DR should refrain from making judgments about what CSI will be like without WP, but then go on to say exactly what you think CSI will be like without WP, calling it "BS." You can't really have it both ways...
As to episodes without WP, I'd have to say that you and your friends were in the minority. I'd recommend checking out the discussion on the CSI Magazine awards on Talk. A lot of people agree that Gum Drops was one of the best episodes. IMO, the ones with Keppler were also excellent and intriguing as they showed us a whole new, controversial side of forensics, with the whole reverse forensics thing.
A lot of fans (including myself) loved Lily. I thought the scene with Sam was heartbreaking, and that the whole Cath/Sam dynamic was very well-done and intriguing. Also, fyi- Lindsay is the NY CSI. Lindsey is Catherine's daughter (I only know because I've made the same mistake myself, so I really don't mean this rudely, just as an fyi).
I'm only going to respond to one point about Lady Heather (the moral/immoral merits of the Dominion are a whole nother topic I don't care to discuss at the moment). You said that if she "worked hard like any normal person, she would have saved enough to pay for the child’s education." I'm not saying that she found the best way to pay for the child's education, but just working hard for 16 years is
no guarantee of being able to pay for a college education, at least not in the U.S. and especially if Heather doesn't have a college education herself. Private colleges in the U.S. generally cost between 40k and 50k per year. I go to a school with one of the largest endowments in the world, but its need-based aid still isn't enough to cover my tuition without sending me into debt. I can totally understand Lady Heather's rationale, even if, personally, I wouldn't endorse her method.
^ lol. She was probably just typing for her mom again. And Marge who?
I kind of like it that there's not always a closure on CSI. I think sometimes it's good to leave things to viewer's own imagination/interpretation, although I have to admit that other times I'm dying to know what exactly happens. I guess to me, it all depends on how things are written and played out.
As for Catherine's way of getting the prisoner to talk in Leaving Las Vegas (written by Allen McDonald and Carol Mendelsohn)...she solved her case and prevented the court from letting the killer walk away. End of the story.
I totally agree. I love that about CSI. Leaving it up in the air allows all fans to enjoy it more, especially those who prefer less popular pairings. It lets us imagine what we want to happen, rather than just being stuck with more GSR.
To the comments on Cath's button trick, I think it was a really smart move. IMO, it was a very amusing move to make, since it kind of makes fun of the tendencies of viewers to watch stuff when there's skin showing, not just of suspects. Kind of ironic, especially since it generally goes up against Grey's Anatomy, which seems to rely entirely on sex appeal (I'm hoping bashing Grey's won't really get me in trouble here, and I apologize ahead of time to any Grey's fans who may be reading this).
I have the same build as Catherine and I have totally used that trick, or similar ones, in real life. It was totally worth it. There are a lot of disadvantages to being buxom. If guys are always objectifying you and staring at your boobs, then you might as well get something out of it on occasion and play them. Catherine gets checked out and hit on plenty; I'm happy for her that she used it to her advantage that time.
