Matt Roush got a sneak peek at the upcoming premiere for
CSI's ninth season. While Roush didn't give details about the premiere, he did give his opinion on the episode and the show's lead actor. "I was more than satisfied and even more impressed than usual by Petersen's performance and by the way the script and the show deals with the fallout of what happens to Warrick [Brown (
Gary Dourdan)]," Roush said"
"It's pretty intense," Roush continued, "and the return of Sara [Sidle (
Jorja Fox)] adds even more emotional weight to the episode." Roush also commented on the premiere regarding the upcoming reduction of Petersen's role on the show. "
can't say how far they'll continue to explore Grissom's psyche in his remaining episodes as a series regular, but they're off to a promising start," he said.
