Season 9 *Spoiler Lab* Discussions P3

[Speedystokesgirl]

The finale is about Langston - what a shock! Don't know If I am looking forward to it or not.

I don't think the episode was originally about Nick, I don't believe Stokes on Duty was ever a real episode anyway. Just someone's overactive imagination.

Yeah, I don't either. I mean none of those episodes that were on that list came to be.

I also, agree that it is just someone's imagination and they create this list and put it out there as spoilers. Because, seriously, when all those came out, it was way too early for them to have even considered the season finale, let alone had it all planned out.

I guess the way I see it is, I'm glad it's not about Nick. And I would be happy if it wasn't about Langston. Nick already got a powerful episode this season, and Langston got many times to shine already. What I'm trying to say is, Nick gets more than enough focus in my opinion, and I am a HUGE fan. I would rather it be about Cath or Greg. Or even Brass. Another Nick centered episode would be too much IMO.

Like you can guess I personally can't get enough of Nick centered episodes but I agree with you that a Cath, Greg or Brass centered episode would be great They keep pushing Langston down our throats and I find that really annoying... I hate the fact that he came into the show and everything is focusing on him... Man Cath is the supervisor of the nightshift and not this guy... :scream:

I'm starting to see this in the form of a DC comic book. Langston is Batman and Nick is Robin. I swear. I still enjoy LF as a person and as a TREMENDOUS actor, but TPTB obviously aren't recognizing what their fans are saying. His character of Langston has turned into the Blob; slowly consuming EVERYTHING in its path. The show, the characters, the screen time. Pretty soon I really won't see a need for Cath, Nick, and Greg to even be there. Beside propping the newly founded "Langston Hour", they really are of no use.

But then again, we will have to wait and see. Keep up hope, yada, yada, yada.

Greg needs facetime. Sorry, but it's true. He's probably one of the most underused characters ever. I know he's had more facetime this time around than last, but that's like saying something's healthier than fast food. It's not saying much, especially to loyal Greg who's been around since CSI was a wee little television series.

I love Ray, and I can see the writers are trying hard to make him a cemented in by giving him his own cases and what not, but another Ray-centric episode? Good grief.

As sad as it is you're simply right... man I'm sick of talking my mouth dry about also thinking about the other characters too...

If they really want this show to go down like that they're on the right path...
Isn't it sad that Cath is supervisor like Grissom was and gets not one single bit of attention??? Or Greg, who's also there since the beginning??? I think I and all the other Nick Stokes fans can consider ourself lucky that our guy got at least Turn, Turn, Turn to shine. But in comparison to the attention Langston gets all the time it's a joke... it's unbelievable how the show changed since Ray came in...

But you're right... hope dies last. So keep your fingers crossed for some more teamwork in the future

Well that seems to be an interesting episode... Catherine gets attacked, huh??? Can't wait to read more about that... She really deserves an episode where she's the main character

 

[Speedystokesgirl]

I know everyone is upset at all the attention that Langston gets. I agree.

However, you all need to keep in mind that Fishburne is the 'Male Lead' and will get more screentime than the other actors/characters. Tptb will focus on him and with him being a movie star and a big name star, they're going to go with it.

So we all just have to accept it. :shifty: There is no changing it.

Though Marg is the female lead, she was considering leaving the show, but after the writer's strike changed her mind. However, she could have asked for less screentime, so she doesn't have to be on the set, as much.

Now what will really piss me off, is if they do another cliffhanger. :scream: I hate them and until Season 7 and 8 (though somewhat of a cliffhanger), CSI hasn't done them before. I also remember Mendohlsen saying she doesn't like them either. So, if you don't cliffhangers, stop doing them!!!!!!!

Isn't this the one where Catherine gets rabies? Or gets shots against rabies?

That's a good wish Think so too. Hopefully this one won't be one... I highly doubt that... but I can't even say why, my gut tells me that :lol:

We'll see

Cath is supposed to get rabies/ rabies shots?

Where the hell have I been..

If this is true, she'll most likely just get rabies shots. -they hurt like crazy, though-
If she got rabies, she's toast. Once the symptoms appear there is no treatment. That's why people get the shots ASAP.

 

[Wojo]

Yes according to the past spoilers I've read Cath gets attacked by a woman who has rabies. So more than likely she will need to have shots.

From TV Guide:

The past two seasons of CSI have ended with a cliff-hanger. Season 7 ended with Sara left in the Vegas desert by the Miniature Killer, and Season 8 ended with Warrick being accused of murder (and eventually murdered himself). Will Season 9 follow that same pattern? — Jocelyn
TIM: Wow, nice rundown! Wallace Langham tells us the self-contained season-ender features Laurence Fishburne's Langston in the line of fire: "You see him put into some situations that are new for him, as far as being out in the field and having to deal with perpetrators." Langham's Hodges, meanwhile, gets to stay in the lab, where he's happiest. (Coming Thursday: Read our full Q&A with Langham about this week's sci-fi-themed episode.)

Since this says the episode is self contained, I take that to mean it won't be a cliffhanger.
