Dear Writers (or, more likely, Producers),
Please stop writing case files that simply show off how gross they can be and killers/perps who are one-dimensionally malevolent. This is the age of the Internet, and shock value isn't worth nearly as much. If we wanted pure gore, we could find it somewhere else. Good characters that we've grown attached to? Not so much.
Please stop turning Wendy into a crutch for Hodges. She is so much more awesome than that. Please, let a female character other than Catherine -- and one who actually stays -- be something more than, ultimately, than a male character's love interest.
Please give Riley's character a little more closure. She worked hard, put in a year, and did so much with the little that was offered her. She deserves better than to be ousted and pigeonholed as a bitter antagonist.
Please give us more Greg. Period. We've gotten Nick episodes, Cath episodes, Brass episodes, Hodges episodes and a heckuva lot of Ray episodes.
That said, much thanks for a relatively awesome season so far. This is possibly my favorite one yet.
Dear Writers,
We've gone 10 yrs without Nick having a love intrest on CSI. Except for the unfortunate Kristy the hooker mess, so why start now? CSI is not about romance and this social worker April is not a good match for Nick.
Why because she's female?
No. Shipping is about two individual characters, regardless of gender. A male MarySue (or should I say Gary Stu) wouldn't have been any better.
