Dear writers, LV is my favourite csi and my one of my favourite shows of all time, I've seen every single episode aired so far in england and will be a avid watcher for many more years. I love the turn you've made in season 9, its just got this whole new vibe to it I haven't seen since the first couple of seasons, its like its all fresh and shiney so well done. Just finished watching 'turn, turn turn' and love it. Love that your adding in the labrats so much more.
I do love it when we get to see more into the charaters heads, little bits of personal lives add to the brilliance, a sprinkling of quirks and titbits over each episode puts the smile on my face, and if you decide to have their personal lives wander into a case like you've done in the past with caths father, lindsey's father, kidnapping of nick and lindsay to name a few I certainly wouldn't complain.
As long as it doesn't happen too often in a season it won't take away from the cases. My only recommendation would be to draw it out a bit for once, you guys seem to have a annoying habit of bringing up a great plot and chucking it out in one or two episodes then walking away from it completely. Aside from the serial killer plots of course, but there are other methods to long stories than repeated murders. Remember, involving emotions is good, no need to shy away from so much (great job in turn turn turn on this by the way). Above all continuty is the key, you do a great job with little bits in the charaters personalities I have noticed, in what they say and how they say it, but sometimes bigger things get ignored (great job mentioning warrick's son and grissom's birthday wishes this episode). And remember they're human, they can't get through something really bad then have zero affects on their behaviour (one of the major falling points made in the past, though this season you've done a good job with warrick thing so far).
Last but not least Langston is not god, give everyone else the same chance to shine and remember his faults he needs them unless you plan on morphing him into a mary sue. He's a rookie despite his age and needs to bide by the rules. Cath is the boss, let her charater evolve a bit now shes finally leading a team, something she's been wanting to do for umpteen years. Theres got to be tons of guys she can do a little headbutting with or whatnot to show that great personality of hers.
Love you .

Dear Darling Writers:
I'm buttering you up because I want to see..ahem..more and more and more Mandy. She is so funny and the actress is awesome. Please, more Mandy and if you pair her with a certain CSI, you've got your next GSR.

Dear Writers,
Thank you for creating such an amazing franchise that has captivated audiences for the last nine years. Thank you for creating such amazing characters that we could relate to over the years. As much as we fans appreciate everything you do, we would also appreciate you listening to our feedback as it pertains to episodes, characters, ships, etc. You have done a great job over the years, and we fans slowly see the integrity of the show going into a downward spiral.
As much as your idea to bring LF on was pure genius, please tone him down just a tad, for loyal fans sake. We know you invested millions of dollars into your new cash cow, but please realize that the reason why millions of us still stick around is because of the original team, the team you have seemed to forgot about.
Catherine, Nick, Greg, Brass and the numerous labrats have been on this show for quite some time, yet are being pushed to the back by, you guessed it; Ray. These characters have built this show, and sustained it for many years. Without these characters, the show wouldn't have anything to stand on. Not a thing. These are the aspects of the show that are being forgotten.
We also ask that you do not stretch the lines of credulity by making Ray Langston, newbie to the force, find the cure for cancer, or single handedly defuse a bomb. This merely turns fans off. We also ask that continuity become part of your every day vocabulary, along with variety, original, and ENSEMBLE. These words have been swept under the rug during the last few seasons, not just by the new team member, Ray, but by previous Swing Shift Supervisor Gil Grissom.
The fact of the matter is that many of us will stick around, regardless of what the shows turns into. We just ask that as fans and essential stock holders in this CSI franchise, that you honestly evaluate not only my opinion, but the millions of others. I know that is asking alot, but so be it.
I have a TV guide in my hand and I have a total of three/four other shows that come on at 8:00pm/MST; The Office/30 Rock, Supernatural, and Grey's Anatomy. Just sayin'.

Dear Writers,
Thanks so much for the excellent balance of screentime with each character in the last two episodes (If I Had A Hammer and Gone Dead Train). I was pleasantly surprised to see episodes that are character-centric, yet also contained a balance of screentime for all characters. Great job! :thumbsup: Keep it up.

Nick Stokes and Greg Sanders are overdressed. We need more evidence in swimming pools.

Dear Writers:
I think the day Grissom left the show, you lost your mojo. You suffered from BPDD Billy Petersen Depedency Disorder and now you are on withdrawal. You don't know what to do with the other characters because you were so dependant on Billy Petersen.
Treatment Options: Look to the other castmates, remember them? They can help you.

Hey Writers
Listen,I know you guys are busy but I just wanted to point out a small detail. George Eads was voted in the top ten sexiest men on television in the TV Guide a few weks back,there is a picture of him and everything. So I was just wondering, just wondering mind you, if you could possibly show us what made him the sexiest, minus a shirt. You guys are so cool!
PS: Cut out all the Dr Langston scenes,they are a real turn off for some of us.
Hey guys,
I know you had a difficult time with Grissom leaving, Marg's personal and George's health problems... BUT was that really necessary???
I really love the show and was so sad about that season 9, to which I was really looking forward to
Where is the team??? Where are the ones who made the show my favourite show??? Where are Nick, Cath, Jim and Greg???
Is Langston the only name in your script books??? Are the others not good enough for you???
I'm not the only one who's wondering what you all are thinking...
You think we're that stupid that we don't wonder about that our favourite character's birthdate changed or that a CSI Level 1 can work homicide cases solo, which wasn't the case a few season back???
Damn, take a look arround... you've the chance to write scripts for actors who would give everything for the show, who could bring the ratings back up.
But I guess that was too much to ask for...

Bolding's mine. You do realize that Laurence Fishburne is a series regular on the show, right? Cutting him out is kind of hard to do.

I think you should ask David Finch (Se7en) to direct an episode of CSI. He rocks.

You writers are fantastic, although I do wish you would come up with some more compelling and dramatic episodes like let's say Gumdrops. Using an emotional Nick is a good thing but I for one would also love to see some emotional Greg. And may I say more Bobby Dawson.
