I've given up trying to figure out if Nick has been demoted or not.

Hopefully, the premiere will tell us that, but I won't hold my breath.

Loved the behind the scenes, so thanks for posting that.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome episode and I can't wait!!!!!

I love the end with Ted, George, and Paul and how Nick sized D.B. up in 73 seconds and Brass was still working on it. :guffaw::guffaw:

Yup, Nick and the team have no idea what to think about D.B.:lol::lol:
 
CSI 12.07 "Brain Doe"

STORY LINE: The CSI crew is stumped when they discover a disembodied brain at a crime scene where all the other brains are accounted for.
 
Oh and by the looks of it Nick loses his office, as well as, Greg and probably Sara.

Looks like Grissom's office has become D.B.'s office.

Because that jacket on the coat rack is not something Nick, Greg, or Sara would wear. ;)

This sounds interesting! Wonder if it'll be similar to the body farm Grissom visited in "Burden of Proof"?
 
A fun little story from TV Guide. :lol:

5 Roles that prove Ted Danson is right for CSI

2. Arthur Frobisher, Damages
On the flip side, Russell is more than a people person. In fact, he's desperately trying to restore order to a team that's gone too long playing by their own set of rules. Before Danson played a sleazy billionaire CEO on FX's intense thriller, many might have thought him incapable of ruling with an iron fist. While family man Russell most likely won't be sleeping with Vegas hookers in the back of SUVs or ordering hits on his coworkers, he will be rather forceful when it comes to putting his charges in their place. (Just ask George Eads' Nick, who incurs a frightening talking-to just for filing one of his reports a few hours late.)

So which episode is it that Nick files his report late? I love the look he usually gets on his face in these types of scenes. :lol:

I believe it's tonight's premiere. Ted Danson was on the Early Show this morning and the clip they showed had DB kind of getting on Nick at the crime scene about his report.

I tend to agree with this too.

Please tell me again how no one on this board hates LF, just the way the TPTB brought him in and the way the writers wrote the Ray Langston character? Seems to me that only someone who hates LF would want his departure to have gone down this way. Especially when every indication has been that he left of his own accord. We all believe what we want to believe, I guess.

Again, I don't hate LF. I simply agreed with Wojo, regardless of the flack it brings.

I think LF tried to do his best for the show. It appears that he/they thought that his presence as a film star would re-invigorate the ratings, whereas it instead seemed to bring the ratings down after 2 1/2 years. After his time on the show it was obviously not working. I'm sorry, but from other accounts I've read (NOT rag sheets, I don't read those) it was not HIS choice to leave. He continued to make movies while doing CSI, so it's not like he needed to leave in order to continue his film career. He himself stated that he was not looking to leave (I do have that interview), so it doesn't seem logical that he would change his mind in less than 30 days. I simply think that TPTB decided to not renew his contract in order to try and appease long time viewers and change the direction of the show. Nobody was ready to throw in the towel yet, which I for one, am extremely glad they didn't! That doesn't mean I hate Laurence Fishburne.

And I simply disagree with anyone who thinks LF was fired, regardless of the flak (no c) it brings.

I don't read rag sheets either. Please cite the sources that led you to think he was fired vs. leaving of his own accord. I'd like to read them.

Why is it illogical to think that maybe he changed his mind somewhere in between the time he said he "wasn't going anywhere" and the time he sat down at the contract negotiating table? His own agent was surprised to learn he left, for cryin' out loud. TPTB had to scramble to find a replacement and rewrites had to be done. People can change their mind in 30 days or 30 seconds. There's no logic involved at all. Happens every day.

No one disputes that the ratings of CSI have gone down in the 2-1/2 seasons that LF was there. The fact of the matter is that, with the exception of season 9 when WP left, the ratings for CSI have been going down steadily every season since season 5. To attribute the decline in ratings to LF is extremely unfair.

I am a long time viewer and I liked LF on the show and did not need to be "appeased". This board does not speak for the entire fan fase, so please stop deluding yourselves that TPTB did something YOU wanted them to do.
 
Doesn't bother me if he has been demoted. He was assistant supervisor in name only. He had seniority over Greg, Sara, and Ray so if Catherine wasn't there he was in charge anyways. Now Catherine (most likely) gets to be in charge if DB isn't there. For years the cases were all handled the same way without much of a care on what rank anyone was. Why start now. :lol: (Think of it this way - less paperwork to be done late! :lol:)



We haven't even seen the first episode and I've lost track of what episode is what but this is in the Las Vegas Sun. It's about the 'mob museum' episode whichever one that was. :alienblush:

Oscar Goodman, CSI combine for a mob hit

Goodman is revealing little more about the plot of the episode, which stars new cast member Ted Danson along with holdovers Marg Helgenberger and Carol Mendelsohn. The onetime, self-dubbed Happiest Mayor in the Universe is gunned down at the beginning of the show, and the “where” is vital – and that is not meaning his shoulder, which is the body part affected. Goodman is fired upon at the Mob Museum in an episode centered on the still under-construction attraction officials hope will be open by Valentine’s Day 2012.
