Question: I have a grim foreboding that David Caruso's character on CSI: Miami will turn out to be still alive, which will mean that all the other actors in the series have to continue their terrible acting so as to not show him up. Oh well. Sometimes it's fun to slow down and look at a traffic accident, too, as long as no one is badly hurt.— Glenn
Matt Roush: Is there a more useless season-ending cliffhanger stunt than pretending that your lead actor has been shot and killed — regardless of how many people are secretly pining for it to be true. (Lots, according to my mailbag.) More fans are curious about what the text message meant on Ryan's phone after the shots rang out. Believe me when I say the answer to that puzzle and to Horatio's fate is not only groaningly obvious but also (typical for this show) absolutely preposterous. Train-wreck TV, indeed. I can't believe so many fall for it.
