Season 9 *Spoiler Lab* Discussions P2

I found this video on CBS's YouTube page about Laurence Fishburne and his character.

I hope I did that correctly.

 

Thanks for posting that link.

Can't wait to see him on the show. I like his calm and I really think he'll be a great addition to the cast.

 

Wow I found this great clilp of LF and Nick working on a case together! It's very funny. I think I'm gonna like this guy Ray. I hope.

But yeah, we see him and Nick work together!

Nick and LF working a scene.

I get a raw feeling from LF-very different from Grissom but a good kind of different.

 

Those videos were great. Thanks for posting them girl!

Oh, I think I'm definitely going to like his character. That scene with him and Nick, too funny! I think that's why it's great to have him as a CSI Level 1, definitely could be some great humor there.

 

I'm actually looking forward to LF joining the cast now more than ever. I think the fact that he is established in his field of pathology but is coming on as a CSI level 1 is really interesting. In the clip with Nick, you can tell there is a mutual respect there. I think Ray is looking at Nick as a more experienced CSI and Nick is giving Ray more respect than he would say a rookie coming in totally green in the field...

 

I liked the Nick/Ray scenes involving the tie. When Nick asked Ray what to do with the now contaminated tie, it was his way of testing Ray to see if he knew what the procedure was. It's the kind of thing you'd do with a CSI Level 1 and it's what Grissom used to do with Nick.

The student has become the master.

 

From Kristen:

Sounds Great!

 

And it must be really hard when you're a professor and older and your superior is much younger than you. I can't wait to see how this plays out!!

I know there's still a lot of people who are crying about BP leaving, but I think LF is going to add something very new and very unique to this show and I'm ready for it. Billy's given his blessing and I'm eager for change.

 

Looks promising, I took to Riley right off so I hope I will feel the same about Ray. I agree with Dizz (GregsSnowAngel) that the change can be a good thing for CSI.

 

I really enjoy Laurence Fishburne's work, and look forward to see his character on the show.

No one will ever replace Grissom. He's been so integral to the look and feel of the show. Fishburne's work will be his own; it will be a different look and spin, and I have confidence that he'll make it work. Won't be the same without Grissom though.

 

Yeah I think Hodges will be crying for weeks.

Hodges: Nick, I miss Grissom!!!!!

Nick: Okay, okay let's go play mail box baseball again, gees..the things I do for you guys..*grumble*

 

Of course Hodges will cry, he'll miss Grissom because he'll have nobody left to brown- nose.
