Lots of Russell family drama but nicely balanced with a forensics heavy episode.Was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed it.A DB centric episode but nobody felt left out.A little Greg light but plenty of Hodges.Loved mention of one of our well known Canadian greats James Naismith the inventor of the game of basketball.
 
Like a west coast feed my cable package has an east coast feed from the Atlantic provinces and they are in another time zone.I really try to give my opinion without revealing too much and ruining it for other viewers.I hope I am succeeding.
 
Would you be averse to telling more privately? Not tonight,too late,but for other eps?

Man this would have been a good ep for a Lady Heather cameo lol

Lol Nick and Russell at Mistress Z's

I don't believe I am giving any details that would ruin the enjoyment or surprise for anyone.There are spoilers out there that give more information than I do.I have been careful about what I write and feel that being told to do it privately is rather insulting.I watch a television broadcast that is early but so do many here and they don't refrain even those on the west coast have not seen it.I also only write where there is a spoiler banner.Sorry you feel the way you do but I feel I am following the rules.
 
Ok is it next week already? I wanna see that!

I never said you were wrong...sorry if you thought I did. I just meant I could PM for details but I won't if you don't want it. That's why I inquired first.
 
Yeah, tonight would have been perfect for a Heather visit or at least a mention

Real similarities to the Penn State scandal

Lots of Hodges

Little Greg again! :scream: Starting to really get ticked off over here

Okay, less personal stuff and more processing. We see the sex toys back at the lab but do we see them discovering them? No. Even the man cave? No. Do we see the CSIs processing Oxford's crime scene? No
 
Pretty good episode. Great use of forensics. The twists on who did it were interesting. Lady Heather could've made an appearance! Very funny with Nick and DB meeting Mistress Z. Right away I said awkward, than she did. I really enjoyed some Hodges action! Sara should've gotten the credit--how it wasn't a shoe. Really great team dynamic, getting to see a little of everyone. The only things I didn't like: Danson's/DB's glasses, the style Jorja's/Sara's hair has been, and how many personal/home scenes from the Russell's! I LOVE DB and his family, but my god we've seen enough to last us six years! How about personal stuff for the cast members who have been there since the beginning? All-in-all, great episode. Can't wait to see next weeks involving/mentioning Warrick...I won't even begin on the conflict of interest because I know, it's TV ;)

Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying sure you can PM me but I warn you I am a complete novice with them but am willing to attempt something new.(I bet it's easier then I think)
 
After this one I hope we won't get to see any more "DB & family at home and/or at the office" at least for the next 10 episodes. We got such a scene almost every 5-10 minutes, it was worse than having Finn around. Maybe if the premiere hadn't been DB-centered it wouldn't be a big deal, but it felt like too much too soon... Okay episode otherwise, I liked how the ending was unpredictable for a change, as the suspects have been too easy to spot so far.

They seriously have to cut down on the Russells, please no more... :shifty:
 
SOlid episode but they need to cut down on the family time. It's nice to know DB has a life outside of work but that can be shown in bits and pieces. I still want to know how he didn't get pulled on this case as well.
Nice twist on the killer for a change. Nice having to guess every once in a while.
