If You Were A CSI Writer For A Day...

If you were granted the privilege to be a CSI writer for a day on whichever series you prefer, any season from now to the first, what would you do? Would you add scenes exclusively for your favorite characters? Bring back a written-off character? Kill off a character in the first season? The choice is yours. Anything, no matter how random or insane, is acceptable and feel free to discuss each others ideas. And remember to have fun.:)

I'll start:

If I were a CSI writer for a day...

- I would have killed Tina, never killed off Warrick, and established Catherine and Warrick as a couple.

- I would write in a GSR wedding scene that takes place in Costa Rica and features Nick, Greg, Hodges, and Dr. Rob as groomsmen.

- I would have left Greg as a lab rat back in season 5.

- I would write a musical episode with a Christmas theme for LV. I'd love to see the CSIs exchange gifts with each other and drink eggnog over a dead body...and that's really weird.:lol:

- I would write in a scene where Greg is shown at his house/apartment because I'm starting to think he lives in his car...:p
 
If I were a CSI writer...well I would need more than a day

This some of I'd do for this season

DB will NOT I repeat NOT take over the WHOLE show like Ray did, nor will it become the DB and Nick show, I'd ease him in slowly, make the audience want to learn about him instead of shoving it down their throats ALL. THE. TIME.

Morgan won't become the new Riley, she meshes well with the others and she gets some actual development, evenually (not right away/later in the season) we figure out what's up with her and her dad

Catherine needs a nice exit, she and Vartann ride off into the sunset together, we see Lindsey, Lily, and a flashback of Sam, no danger involved in her exit, she has a little goodbye scene with team like with them at dinner

Greg will NOT get shoved in the background like I'm scared he will this season, both him and Morgan I'm scared for this season :eek::(

- I want to see his apartment, or for all we know he moved and I could see him having a pet, I want him to work a solo B case FINALLY, meet one of his relatives, continuity for why he's carrying a gun and what the *bleep* happened to his book, him have an episode instead of waiting another 4 *bleepin'* years, maybe even episodeS, or even a storyline, also can we finally see Greg shirtless, we've seen Nick and Warrick without a shirt how many times? And Greg None!

Sara has an ep where we meet her mother who's played by Lesley Ann Warren, a few scenes with her and Grissom and Betty

We see Hodges new place since he moved out of Mom's and we meet her and she's played by Betty White, also seee him and Greg on a mandate, Hodges is seen in the lab a bit more

Nick, I am SICK AND TIRED of him carrying his gun ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE. and then breaking down doors, he's not a cop anymore he's STILL a CSI, DB or someone would scold him about it finally!!

Again this is just some of it :lol:
 
Everybody who knows me knows the answer to this already . . .

I'd kill off Lindsay on CSI:NY and make Danny interesting again. :)

I'd also give some personal development to Adam and Hawkes and have more Danny/Flack scenes.

You're right, addition, if I was a writer for a day I'd write one scene involving Greg buying a copy of his book somewhere or a scene where Hodges is reading Greg's book in the lab.

Wasn't Greg seen shirtless when him and Sara were forced to take a decontamination shower together at a scene in season five? But I think even in that scene he had underwear on which is weird because I don't know too many people that shower in underwear.:p

I don't watch NY often, but didn't Danny lose his legs in one season? A cop solving crimes without his legs seems interesting to me...:lol:

Alright here's more of what I'd do for this season

I wouldn't give the season finale to DB, writers if you want viewers to accept him more, give it to another character like Greg who's never had a finale

For Sqweegel, he would return one or two more times and that's it, no overkill like Haskell, also don't make him DB's serial killer, make him the team's serial killer

^ We didn't see his chest, we only saw his back

I want to see McKeen's trial, or at least see McKeen, maybe a little closure for the team and the viewers

I'd write a scene with the team and Eli

Brass, oh boy where do I start? I'd try to redeem him somehow, I think it might be possible, ugh who knows, I would inclue another visit from Ellie, we haven't seen her since s6 and she's cleaned up her act

DB I'd like him to conflict with some characters like Brass, Nick, Al, and Catherine

More lab rats Mandy, Archie, Bobby, and Henry

And I'd also bring Wendy back!!

He got shot and ended up in a wheelchair with a 10% chance of ever walking again.

He was up and walking like four episodes later.
 
Kill Hawkes so that we won't hear his stupid whispers anymore. Then replace Hill Harper with a much capable actor one who doesn't whisper every word that comes out of his mouth. :) No more

Hawkes: Maaaacc, thheee suhbsthans I collehcted frhom thhhe vhicthim's shhoes, bhird crhap.
Mac: Bear clam? :confused: Is that the new clam specie found in the Atlantic Ocean?
Hawkes: No, Mac. Bhird crhap. It's...
Mac: Oh, bread crumbs! Ha! Poor me. Look for bakeries around 3 blocks from the crime scene. See if you can...
Hawkes: No Mac no!!! Bhird crhap! Are you kidding me!?
Mac: :wtf: Just give me the $#^!ing tablet...

There you go a perfect NY!

Or in a van down by the river. :lol: Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)

If I were a writer on any of the shows, the screentime would be balanced between ALL characters. I'm not going to go into detail about what I would or wouldn't do regarding pairings though, but I think those who know me well know my prefs on pairings. But for LV, Riley would never have been written out, for Miami, Valera would still be there and for NY, Jessica Angell would not have been killed off.

HAHAHAHAHA! :guffaw::guffaw: Oh my god, that made me laugh so much
 
This year I want a Christmas ep, CSI has never had one

I'd make it a multi case episode and make sure everyone is there and it's a very ensemble ep and for the end of the ep everyone is in the break room celebrating Christmas, talking, passing around gifts, etc and then Grissom pops up in the doorway and cuts screen to black

Didn't they have an ep where a guy dressed as Santa got stuck in a chimney or was that another show? :lol: I watch so many crime shows sometimes I get them mixed up lol.
 
Another idea for this season, do an ep where the A part is the case and the B part is Grissom going around the lab visiting people

Hopefully it's before Catherine leaves so he and Catherine can talk :)

Nick and Grissom- they can talk bugs :lol:

DB and Grissom meet- should be interesting since WP and TD did a movie together years ago

Morgan and Grissom- I wonder if they'll get along or not like him and her father :lol:, should be intesting

Hodges and Grissom- Hodges will probably run up and hug Grissom :lol: maybe they'll talk about Wendy :D

Greg and Grissom- they can talk about Ellen, Greg can tease him about GSR, etc

Also Grissom sees Al and David :)
 
I'd give Catherine a fitting exit scene.

She, Grissom and the team are sat around a lab table, its Christmas (since that's around the time she's leaving), they've all got santa hats on, eggnog etc., Catherine says goodbye to the team, leaves them all gathered singing carols, walks out into the snow outside, she sees Lily and Lindsey, she puts an arm around each of them and walks into the distance.
**cut to: Casino: This song plays until the end of the end credits**
Catherine, wearing a pant-suit and ID around her neck walks out of an executive office with a glass of champagne, looks down on the casino floor from the walkway she is stood on
**cut to: grainy scenes from all 12 seasons of CSI flash up on the screen quickly**
**cut back to: Casino**
a tear runs down her face, she raises the glass, says "We made it, Lou", Vartann walks out of her office and the two embrace passionately
**cut to end credits, without "who are you?" playing over them, instead the song from the scene continues**
