Hmm, I wondering if DB gets on Catherine for pulling her gun, and it looks like she is the one providing back up. Maybe he gets on her and tells her that she isn't a cop, and to let the cops do their job, or something to that effect. Gah, is it Wednesday yet?! I hate playing guessing games. :lol:
 
Where does it indicate he might get on her? I didn't see it.

He sounds like Grissom with his "I, said the fly" thing LOL
 
From TVGuide's Mega Buzz:

I really liked Ted Danson on CSI. When will learn more about his character's background? — Randy
ADAM: Every episode is a discovery! In the next episode, we'll learn that he was once a member of a family band! Plus: We've already seen him get into the mindset of the victims by playing dead, but he also has an interesting way to put himself in a suspect's shoes, which will get complicated when three people confess to the same quadruple homicide.

CSI's' Elisabeth Harnois shares 'nerdy moment' with Ted Danson

Elisabeth Harnois can't deny she's thrilled to see herself in the title sequence of one of television's top dramas.

The actress' second episode as a "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" regular airs Wednesday (Sept. 28) on CBS. Introduced as a guest star last season, she's continuing the role of Morgan Brody, a crime-lab tech who has just transferred from Los Angeles to the Las Vegas unit ... where she clashes with her estranged father, ex-CSI supervisor turned local lawman Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann).

"That was one of the highlights," Harnois tells Zap2it of first seeing her billing alongside such "CSI" veterans as Marg Helgenberger, George Eads and Jorja Fox. "I knew I was only going to be in a couple of scenes [of the season premiere], but we all watched it together on a big screen on the studio lot, and I had forgotten that little detail of my name in the opening credits. It was something to see."

Besides the FOX suspense drama "Point Pleasant," another show that gave Harnois a starring credit was CBS' short-lived "Miami Medical," which lasted long enough to keep her on the radar of executive producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman. They also oversee the "CSI" franchise, and though Harnois claims she's often heard the promise "We want to work with you again," they made good on it.

At the time she was signed for this "CSI" year, Detroit native Harnois -- along with most everyone else -- didn't know Laurence Fishburne would be leaving the show. Now wrapping production on her fifth episode as a co-star, she says "CSI" already feels like home, thanks in large part to the other newbie in the regular cast.

"I already knew Ted [Danson]," Harnois reveals. "I went to college with his stepdaughter, and she and I were really good friends for years. We sort of fell out of touch, but I had met him several times and had been to his home, so I had known him in a familial way.

"I remember the first time I met him, I looked at him and had that nerdy moment as a young actor thinking, 'Oh, man. I hope someday, I get to work with you.' And sometimes, the secret works: You put something out in the universe, and it happens."

Thanks PA and Sharp, for those articles!!

That's totally cool that Elizabeth knew Ted's step-daughter once upon a time! I think our two newbies are going to gel into a great cast this season! And I'm looking forward to some mixing up of the pairings on the cases too, just so everybody gets to work with a newbie. :cool:

Forgot to comment about the family band mention, that should give D.B. and the Doc some good stuff to talk about! :thumbsup:

Some more spoilers for episode seven, "Brain Doe."

~ One of DB's four kids, Charlie, enters the picture. He's 18, tall, handsome, charming, smart. Charlie is at WLVU on a full ride basketball scholarship and also a good guitar player.

~ Charlie has apparently gotten into some sort of trouble with his basketball coach, and is ordered home by Russell to talk about it.

~ DB works his magic like he did in 12.01 with the son of an apparent suicide victim. He's holding a major secret...

~ There may be a storyline that deals with someone selling a human brain.

Uh oh...just like we were discussing in the other thread. :shifty: DB can't be "working magic" all of the time or he will become a one dimensional predictable character.

I guess I don't see an older father of four boys being able to get young boys to talk to him as "working magic." Seems to me it'd be logical he'd be good at it especially if they want viewers to think he's a good father.

Are Greg, Nick, & Catherine still part of this team or are they just window dressing?

If DB is the only one who can 'work magic' then I'm going to find myself disliking DB as much as I disliked Ray Langston! :( I'm trying to remain nutral on DB when we've only seen 1 episode but descriptions with DB this and DB that make it hard for me. I'm not someone who liked Cheers and Ted Danson in the first place.

Okay ptb, Nick IS the resident kid whisperer so knock it off with Russell. :p

With 6 siblings I am sure he has a ton of nieces and nephews to know how to handle them. ;)

Man, I'm liking Russell, please don't go messing him up with the same crap you did with Langston.

Have you NOT LISTENED to us? :rolleyes: Have you not learned your lesson? :rolleyes:
 
The thing people need to remember is that the character of DB is playing "catch up" development wise to characters who have been on the show for 11 seasons. It makes sense the beginning of the season is going to be heavy on DB, especially since he's the lead character and the supervisor.
 
I think you all are putting the cart before the horse. We ALL know by now that spoilers are mere snippets; not scene by scene breakdowns of the entire episode.

Those spoilers seem like character descriptions. So, it's not going to list EVERYONE in the episode and what they're doing. I'd assume most of that DB information comes from Charlie's description, so there's really no reason to panic.

Episode six, "Freaks and Geeks," is a big Catherine/DB episode from what I hear. We all know Nick is playing a part in her exit. I really do believe there's a real sense of unity this season... there's something for ALL the characters.

As I mentioned on Twitter, tonight's episode may just be one of my all time favorite episodes. There's a combination of humor and sadness that works perfectly; Greg, Morgan, Sara, and Nick have some great stuff. The final scene made me tear up a bit, but mostly because I love the damn character. :lol: If you liked "Blood Drops," "Weeping Willows," and "Early Rollout," I think you'll love "Tell-Tale Hearts" a lot.

Also, keep in mind: Ted Danson is an ensemble man. He likes the shows he works on to be not focused on just one character. I HIGHLY doubt he's making CSI all about him.
