CSI Files
Captain
With another week of the sweeps season that they hope to storm through, CBS will be airing another three brand-new CSI episodes over the next four days.
The network'll be hoping to entice everybody aboard tonight with CSI: Miami's <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season3/pirated.shtml>"Pirated"</a> at 10:00pm, when the Miami team has reason to suspect that pirates are at work – but rather than scurvy swashbucklers they expect to be dealing with altogether more modern and devious criminals. Directed by <font color=yellow>Duane Clark</font> (<A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season3/legal.shtml>"Legal"</a>; <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season3/lost_son.shtml>"Lost Son"</a>) and written by writers <font color=yellow>Michael Ostrowski</font> and <font color=yellow>Steven Maeda</font>, the episode was given the following synopsis by CBS, courtesy of <A class="link" HREF=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/>The Futon Critic</a>:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Horatio suspects that a ship was hijacked with some of the crew killed and then dumped overboard. Evidence suggests that other crew members might have escaped on a life raft. Using radar and GPS technology, the CSIs find survivors but their stories don't match. Now, Horatio and the team must learn what really happened out in the ocean as they find themselves investigating the seamy underbelly of Miami’s militias and arms dealers.</font></blockquote>
"Pirated" will show off the talents of the following guest cast:<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Rex Linn</font> as Det. Frank Tripp[*]<font color=yellow>Malaya Rivera Drew</font> as Lt. Colleen Mendez[*]<font color=yellow>Paul Dillon</font> as Owen Harrell[*]<font color=yellow>Philipp Karner</font> as Adam Kalmenson[*]<font color=yellow>Josh Braaten</font> as Brian Waterton[*]<font color=yellow>Tony Genaro</font> as Roberto Lopez[*]<font color=yellow>Will Collyer</font> as Chip Manning[*]<font color=yellow>Teddy Lane, Jr.</font> as Swat Sergeant[*]<font color=yellow>Dave Power</font> as Darryl Morgan[*]<font color=yellow>Wesley Morgan</font> as Wesley Morgan[*]<font color=yellow>Boti Bliss</font> as Valera[*]<font color=yellow>Roy Werner</font> as Bart Roberts[*]<font color=yellow>Brooke Bloom</font> as Cynthia Wells[/list]
It might well be asked if there's an in-joke about how many spinoffs the CSI franchise should have at the CBS lot... but either way, the next CSI: New York on Wednesday at 10:00pm is entitled <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/newyork/season1/three_generations_are_enough.shtml>"Three Generations Are Enough"</a>. Directed by <font color=yellow>Alex Zakrzewski</font>, whose previous directorial work includes CSI's fellow procedural drama Cold Cases, the episode was written by executive producer <font color=yellow>Andrew Lipsitz</font> and was summarised by CBS via the <A class="link" HREF=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/>Futon Critic</a> as follows:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Mac examines the mysterious disappearance of a stock brocker while Stella investigates the murder of a woman thrown off the roof of a church. Panic ensues on a New York trading floor when a briefcase is left behind with no owner. The briefcase’s contents are traced back to a stock broker who mysteriously disappeared after investigating another broker’s illegal trades. Meanwhile, Stella investigates the death of a pregnant counselor found next to the church where she worked.</font></blockquote>
"Three Generations Are Enough" will feature the following guest actors:<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Sonya Walger</font> as Jane Parsons[*]<font color=yellow>Steven Flynn</font> as Luke Sutton[*]<font color=yellow>Peter O’Meara</font> as Paul Stryzewski[*]<font color=yellow>Larry Clarke</font> as Father Tim Murphy[*]<font color=yellow>Sarah Aldrich</font> as Emily Dent[*]<font color=yellow>Tom Bresnahan</font> as Nick Lawson[*]<font color=yellow>Jerry Brennan</font> as Security Rover[*]<font color=yellow>Jeff Campbell</font> as Bomb Squad Lieutenant[*]<font color=yellow>Nick McCallum</font> as The "Rookie"[/list]
Hopefully Thursday's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode at 9:00pm will have nothing to be sorry for, despite bearing the name <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/csi/season5/mea_culpa.shtml>"Mea Culpa"</a>. Penned by executive producer <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font> and co-executive producer <font color=yellow>Josh Berman</font>, the episode was directed by <font color=yellow>David Grossman</font> (<A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/csi/season3/forever.shtml>"Forever"</a>, <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season3/speed_kills.shtml>"Speed Kills"</a>) and was summarised as below by CBS via the <A class="link" HREF=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/>Futon Critic</a>:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>After a murder trial is reopened to explore new forensic evidence, Grissom discovers a previously undetected fingerprint on a piece of evidence during his cross-examination. This oversight is an opportunity for new assistant lab director Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) to put Grissom and his nightshift team under the microscope.</font></blockquote>
"Mea Culpa" will feature a guest cast with a few very notable names – not least <font color=yellow>Louise Lombard</font> (Hidalgo), and <font color=yellow>Nana Visitor</font>, star of long running sci-fi show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
The full guest cast is as follows:<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>David Berman</font> as David Phillips[*]<font color=yellow>Aisha Tyler</font> as Mia Dickerson[*]<font color=yellow>Louise Lombard</font> as Sophia Curtis[*]<font color=yellow>Nana Visitor</font> as Mrs. Katz[*]<font color=yellow>Marc Vann</font> as Conrad Ecklie[*]<font color=yellow>Wallace Langham</font> as Hodges[*]<font color=yellow>Jason Segel</font> as Neil Jansen[*]<font color=yellow>Erik Jensen</font> as Jeffrey Sinclair[*]<font color=yellow>Alex Carter</font> as Detective Vartan[*]<font color=yellow>John DeMita</font> as Jason Garbett[*]<font color=yellow>Jason London</font> as Keith Garbett[*]<font color=yellow>Tina Lifford</font> as Judge Witherspoon[*]<font color=yellow>Bobby Hosea</font> as Rich Rebba[*]<font color=yellow>Stefan Marks</font> as Max Larson[*]<font color=yellow>Kenny Morrison</font> as ATF Agent[*]<font color=yellow>John Lacey</font> as John Bergman/ATF Suit [*]<font color=yellow>Gerald McCullouch</font> as Bobby Dawson[*]<font color=yellow>Terry Bozeman</font> as Brad Lewis[*]<font color=yellow>Palmer Davis</font> as Margaret Finn[/list]
