So let me get this straight. The 200th episode was focused on Langston, completely. The majority of the last half of this season has been focused on Langston, (though there has been a slight repreive in the last couple of eps) and now the finale is also going to be focused on Langston. I swear I'm about to give up. I knew CSI was going to be different after William Peterson left, but I didn't think TPTB would completely forget/ignore the rest of the cast. They (the other cast members) can't be happy about this cut in air time. If I was them I'd be raising a major stink. I'm sad, and I don't know if CSI will be long for tv if they keep this up. I know a lot of people that feel the same way I do. They didn't mind Langston at first, even liked him like I did, but just like any other character that is used too much, they are sick of him now. We like CSI because the ensamble cast, not because of one particular person. I want to see Nick, Greg and Catherine. I know they say that Langston is the leading character of the show, (though he's not in my mind) but even Grissom who was the orignial lead didn't have this much focus on him, it was mixed with the other characters. Anyways, I'm going to get off my soapbox, I just needed to vent my frustration. I had a feeling this was going to happen, I don't know why I'm acting surprised.
