Who is Dr. Jekyll? *SPOILERS*
- Thread starter Smokey
- Start date
Ah...except it backfired and a lot of people simply don't like Ray and won't, whether it's because he's not Grissom or because he's taking over where our favorite characters should be. So to please us, perhaps they would make him a killer.
I agree on the Miniature Killer storyline. It was great until we got the...resolution? Didn't like that one bit. Contrived, in my opinion.
They could have realized that it backfired, yes, but I recall that in the beginning they had this sort of thing planned. When Langston was first announced, he was described as having serial killer genes. This wasn't brought up in Season 9 so I'm assuming they had this Dr. Jekyll arc crafted for awhile. And for them to make the guy who is replacing Grissom into a villain... seems like an incredibly risky maneuver.
Of course, maybe TPTB wanted us to hate him so that we could all cheer when he's revealed as a psychotic murderer :evil:
OH OH!!! I just had a thought! Tina Brown worked at Desert Palms, right? She was a nurse or something. She's the killer!!!!
:lol:

That would be interesting. Then either Nick or Gil/Sara could get custody of Eli (if Tina has no family, we know Warrick doesn't besides Eli).
The fact that Ray couldn't tie that bow could be because his hands are too big and maybe someone with smaller hands (obviously a woman) could do it much easier. :lol:
By the way, if something's too obvious, tptb may think us as viewers would think it was too obvious and think that for that reason tptb wouldn't do... so it would kind of be a surprise if they did do it. :lol: Does that make sense?
Yeah, I get that (my head hurts
). However, that would mean that TPTB are smarter than we give than credit for. Are you willing to do that?
Yeah, I get that (my head hurts
Sorry I gave you a headache.
:hands over the bottle of aspirin/tylenol:My brother said that obvious thing to me one time about a movie. It just popped into my head. But, I think I confused myself. :guffaw:
Riley doesn't have the medical knowledge that it would take to go into a body and do that without leaving a mark, she most likely wouldn't be able to get her hands on surgical glue either. I don't think that's something you can pick up at the local Walmart. I think it's something you have to have a medical license to buy. Plus, Riley's no longer in Las Vegas. Her exit interview said she left to take a law enforcement job in the Midwest that offers more chance for advancement or something like that. This person has to be either a doctor or a nurse or a med student or something along those lines. They have to know the human anatomy more than Riley would.
I think Tina could be a possibility. We do have that social worker recurring character coming up. Could she be there to help find Eli some foster/adoptive parents?
I was kind of joking about the small hands thing though.

Unless LF is planning to leave the show after this season, it probably is just red herring stuff that they're pulling on us.
Hey! I've got an idea! Remember Sara's ex boyfriend Hank? He was a paramedic. Maybe he's the killer? Boy wouldn't that be interesting... :lol:

Hank and Tina working together. Hank induces the heart attack and Tina gift wraps the package. Those medics and their evil evil plans...
:lol: That would be an interesting crime-duo. :lol:

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE...was a look at split personality disorder. a study of "those provinces of good and ill which drive and compound man’s dual nature”
One man with two very distinct personalities brought on by a concoction of “simple crystalline salt” and a “blood-red liquor”
Will Ray become this individual? Or will CBS lead us down a path of a probability that turn turns into an impossibility?
I think it's brilliant...here we have a character who has not been accepted by a majority of the CSI fans...we are angry at him for too much time on the screen, too much dialogue, too much given authority...then we start watching him dissiminate into something that excites us as a viewer...we want him to be the killer...we want him to be mad (insane)....but...will they pull a quick one and make us empathetic to him, reign us in and create a character that we feel sorry for as we did when we found out that Dr Jekyll had lost control of his ability not to be Mr Hyde...a man driven by his own mental anguish to commit suicide....will this be what Ray is threatened with at the end of season ten?...Left with a decision of either accepting his defect/his flaw/his desire to kill or..... allowing his Dr Jekyll to end the life of Mr Hyde?
Or will CBS DO IT FOR HIM....stayed tuned!

The dual nature is indeed something I have been considering since "Ghost Town". Why retcon Millander into someone who supposedly suffered from split personalities unless it was merely a plot device to introduce the possible dual nature of the good Dr. Langston?
If they do plan on having Ray as the killer, or his other self as the killer, I do not foresee the character being kept. This is a show in which we have been lead into watching by the concept of good people trying to find answers to horrible crimes. We meet people on the worst days of their lives and bear witness to the evils human kind is capable of. By having good people solve these crimes and act as the voices of the victims, we have our sense that goodness still exists in people reinforced.
This is only my humble opinion, but to have Langston revealed as the killer in some way or form but not be arrested for his crimes, that would be a great injustice to the show. It would introduce great drama but go against everything the show stands for.
Whether or not Langston accepts or denies his alternate nature, his Mr. Hyde, is neither here nor there. He should have to pay for crimes.
But that's just me.
(and of course this is working off of the theory that Langston is Dr. Jekyll.)

I ask you guys about question that I did on last post. I said, What about the doctor that killed Debbie and her lover (I think.) and got away with it. He is a doctor. I have never thought about Hank and Tina, you may got a point there. I know Tina is a doctor and Hank is a paramedic, unless he change job.

I am really wanting Ray to be the Dr Jekyll/ Mr Hyde personality....I think we would want to see more of Ray, so that we could delve into his insanity ....his deviant behavior...and seek clues and hope that he is caught before he brings shame and anguish to his fellow team mates.... and if you wanted to bring back a beloved character, such as Grissom, then this would be the way.
Only Grissom could solve this crime...the others would be too close to the evidence...blinded to what is so apparent to the viewers. We would need a man with an open mind who could take a fresh look at the evidence.
