CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Season 6 Starts THURSDAY!

[jenahdawn]

I don't think the whole team will REMAIN together, but I can hope.

Any others OBSESSED with CSI: The Original?

[jimmysgirl424]

Not only am I obsessed, I watch only the original show.

Remember, at the end of the last season, after they found Nick and rescued him, Grisolm told his boss he wanted his 'team' back. So, hopefully, this means he will get his way and the old team is back together!! :D

[jenahdawn]

Whatever happens, I hope he and Sara never end up together. For some reason, she ANNOYS me.

When does season 5 come out on DVD? I need it to add to my collection....of seasons 1-4. As well as the books by Max Allan Collins...*sigh* Is there a support group?

What books?? :o

[jenahdawn]

Oh, there are 7 of them.....go to your nearest B&N and look in the mysetry section...Max Allan Collins.

(trying to remember the titles because I am too lazy to go downstairs, plus my foot is asleep)

Double Dealer, Cold Burn, Grave Matters, and four others....as well as a "graphic novel" called "Serial".

They are pretty good....

[JenniferEC]

I'll be happy if Eckley is gone this season!

Are the books based on the show?

[jenahdawn]

Yes and no. I mean, it's the same characters, there are crimes...their stories. But none that were ever used on the show, but some of them referr to incidents that happened on the show.

So, they are based on the show, but no one affiliated with the show writes them....but they consult.

It's hard to explain, but if you read one, you'd understand. And MAC does a VERY good job with each character's nuances.

(I'm having a bad spelling day)

[jimmysgirl424]

Thanks- I will have to check them out! Off to half.com to shop....... :D

[ladyco4]

Another CSI fan here! I can't wait for the new season to start. The season finale last year was great! I'm so glad that I had recorded it to rewatch.
I hope that the whole team is together again, too. It sure sounded like that's what they were going to do, when Grissom said that he wanted his team back. I guess we'll have to wait another 2 days to find out!

[Sazoo]

*bump*

So, what did everyone think of the episode the other night? I was glad to see the team back working together again, & also that Eckley was nowhere in sight! ;)

[JenniferEC]

I thought it was a great opener. I was surprised with Warrick, but I'm sure there will be some storyline with him and Catherine. I'm not sure how I feel about the detective -the one who was a CSI last year. I never really cared for her, so I hope she doesn't hook up with Gil.

[Sazoo]

I kind of like her. Not sure if I want to see her hook up with Gil or not, though...although I think I might like to see them together rather than Gil & Sarah. *shrug*

[jenahdawn]

I don't like her....but I agree....better than him and Sara.

As for Warrick....yeah....I'd heard the tail end of the ET story on CSI, so I knew going in, and I remember LAST season opener where he and Cath were THISCLOSE to kissing. I've always thought they should hook up, but now that he's all hitched....

And, I LOVE that Greg gets to be out in the field, and I love that he seems to pick up on most stuff pretty quick. (I know it happened last season, but I STILL love it!)

Supposedly, that new/old chick's going to be the boss.....wonder what happened to Eckley......

And, anyone else irritated with how much the tape was played up and it was almost non-existant on Thursday?

[LeslieandPaul]

And, anyone else irritated with how much the tape was played up and it was almost non-existant on Thursday?

I think they'll be going back to the tape on a later episode-just from the way Grissom was talking about it at the end.

[JenniferEC]

I think they'll be going back to the tape on a later episode-just from the way Grissom was talking about it at the end.
Yep. This will be an episode down the road kind of like they did with Paul Mollander.

[LeslieandPaul]

Yep. This will be an episode down the road kind of like they did with Paul Mollander.

Sweet! Those were some good episodes!

[Dan's*Girl]

I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy I found this thread! I'm addicted to CSI and also only watch the original. It's on every night on Spike tv from 6 central until 8central, so I get 2 hours each day and then a new one on thursday!!!

Don't have time right now to give my opinion on all of the peeps, but I do have them!


Oh, and this is the only place I can say this and be somewhat normal. I dreamt about CSI all night, like I was part of their world and stuff, which was cool, but then the last 2 hours of the night I dreamt I was having s-e-x with Grissom. I just think he is MAJOR sexy, and let me tell you I woke up sweaty, so the dream was too!!!

[LeslieandPaul]

Dan's Girl-you should check out To Live and Die in L.A. There's some shadowed, full frontal of William Petersen :p

[Dan's*Girl]

OH MY GOODNESS! I can tell if he is as well endowed in real life as my dream. LOL ;) I swear it was so detailed I'm STILL thinking about it. Sheesh!


Also ladies, check out csiguide.com it's a great site with info on the show and the cast and all that!

[lbs27]

Did anyone watch this tonight? Does anyone know the name of the song that played at the beginning and end (something about familiar faces). The song sounds so familiar (no pun intended) and I know I've heard it before, but maybe not on the radio, maybe just on another show. I'd be so grateful if anyone knows what this is--it's driving me crazy!

Thanks!

[seapod]

Your right it was on the radio recently. It's called Mad World and is by Tears For Fears.

[dionysia]

Are you sure it was the Tears for Fears original and not the Gary Jules cover?

(I've still got to watch the episode; I've TiVoed it!)

I think all the CSI guys are hotties. (Well, Eckley, Brass, & weird Trace guy excepted.)

Di

[lbs27]

Thanks to both of you! I honestly have no idea if it was the original or the cover..I'm going to guess the cover, but I could be wrong. I'm off to look on cdnow to see if I can track it down.

Thanks again-I told DH I was going to ask this on CC and have an answer in less than 24 hours!! :D

[nawsgirl]

Bumping this thread- if there is another more recent one please let me know :)

Anyone want to speculate about the picture that supposedly holds clues to the finale? So far what I've come up with is that there is no sign of Brass in the pic (unless he is the one with the bullet hole in his back- I hope not!) and that none of them are actually looking at the body, except maybe Nick.

Also the sign in the window says "Play" backwards- a playback of some kind or a repeat of something that has happened before?

It looks like Gil is either holding something in his visible hand or has a bandage on his middle finger.

Warrick doesn't look like he's wearing his wedding ring, but it's hard to tell.

There are two other bullet holes in the table- one right above the stool to the right of the dead guy, and one a little above that, right below the counter.

Anyone else spot anything??

[kcjaime]

In Michael Ausiello's Ask Ausiello column he does each week at TVGUIDE.com, he suggested that it's not what's in the picture, but rather what (or who) isn't.

Make of that what you will! I have a guess, but who knows. :)

[jenahdawn]

My SIL think Warrick is looking at Catherine and his ring's off. (Makes sense to me, the tension between them. And, the only one, besides him, that is married and STILL married is Doc Robbins. The rest are divorced, badly, or still single)

That better not be Brass.

Okay, so Brass isn't in it (in my mind, and cuz I don't want it to be)....unless...what color suit did the rapper send him?

But, even though she's not a major character, they kind of tried to make her one, Sophia isn't, either....

Off to look at the picture again....

[jenahdawn]

Um, what's Sara holding?

There's something red hanging out of her jacket.

[Islandbride1025]

where's the picture? Please post a link. Thanks.

[jenahdawn]

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/diner/

[GoCougs]

My first thought when I looked at this picture a couple of weeks ago was that Brass was the guy that'd been shot. Re: what's "missing" from the picture....I have no idea!

[Islandbride1025]

Thanks for the link. There seems to be something in the glass of the door between Catherine and Gil. Can't make it out.

Um, what's Sara holding?

There's something red hanging out of her jacket.

jenahdawn I just think that's a part of the bar.

Now this will become my new obsession, trying to figure this out. I really like Brass, hope that's not him on the bar.

[ladyco4]

My DVR decided that last night was a good night to NOT RECORD! Can anyone give me a recap of what happened?
Thanks,
Ruth

[maplekitty]

re: clues

the neon sign changes from "play" to "dead". And Sara and Grissom's heads both turn towards Brass (if that is supposed to be Brass). Grissom's whole body position changes. Don't know how that's a "clue" though ??? There is also something written on the stool next to the dead guy that I can't quite make out.


Last night's episode was good - we'll still have to see next week's episode , but certinly not as good as last year's season finale. How do you beat that one?? it was ssooo good!!

[Sare79]

Now that I've seen Thursday's show, I notice that the slot machines in the back are from the lucky dragon casino.
The stool looks like it has "GG" and a ? on it.

[PookiePrincess]

Ladyco4, here's a good recap (http://www.tv.com/csi/bang-bang/episode/691160/recap.html) I found for you. It's pretty detailed and will give you more info than we can recap for you.

[ladyco4]

Thank you so much PookiePrincess. I'll check that out now.
Ruth

[maplekitty]

The stool looks like it has "GG" and a ? on it.

GG = Gil Grissom??? :eek:

[JenniferEC]

I wonder if it's Gil Grissom and Sara. I read somewhere that there might be a hook-up next week.

[jesseybell]

I love Brass and I hope he makes it.

But this season finale is nothing like last year. Lasts years just freaked the hell out of me (I am very clausterphobic).

[maplekitty]

I wonder if it's Gil Grissom and Sara. I read somewhere that there might be a hook-up next week.

I just do not want to see that. I love Grissom being the anti-relationship one of the group. His relationship is his work and his bugs, end of story. If they did anything with his character, and especially with Sara - uck. I just see Grissom as a fatherly role to everyone else in the group!

[GoCougs]

I love Brass and I hope he makes it.

But this season finale is nothing like last year. Lasts years just freaked the hell out of me (I am very clausterphobic).

It's not over yet! Last week's episode was part 1 of 2, so hopefully this coming Thursday's will really leave us hanging until the fall.

I agree that something seems to be up with Gil and Sara, but like other folks have said, that's definitely something I do NOT want to see. Ick.

[JenniferEC]

I just do not want to see that.
ITA! Sara is not the relationship-type person. I don't know what it is about her, but I don't really care for her and I do not want to see her with Gil. The only person that works with Gil is Lady Heather and I think she's in jail right now.

[Tanya]

Re: Sara--I can't be the only one bugged by her weird inflection when she speaks. Drives me insane! She drops low at the end of every sentence for drama, I guess. :confused: And yes, I think it would be a bad idea for Gil and her to hook up.

[jenahdawn]

Okay....

YAY!

And Gag, yuck and gag again.

***Anyone else want to smack the hell out of Ellie? (I don't like this Ellie as much as the first one, even though she was only on one episode...and this one's been in a total of TWO!) I wanted Gil to tell her (when she went and sat in Brass's chair) that she's not really his kid! Pension....you don't deserve it, crack whore!

I'm better now...

[luvalwaysMandy]

What did Gil and Sara say to each other at the end?

Screaming kids so I missed it!

[JenniferEC]

Ewwwwwwwww. Where the hell did this come from?

[jenahdawn]

yuck, you know it was building for a while, but I was really wishing that all of the sudden Lady Heather would be walking in....but I knew that wouldn't happen.

Basically, it was Gil talking about mortality, and how when it's the end, it's the end, and SHE walks in and says, "I'm not ready to say goodbye yet."

Gag, gag, and double gag.

[UTChick]

yuck, you know it was building for a while, but I was really wishing that all of the sudden Lady Heather would be walking in....but I knew that wouldn't happen.

Me too!!

[JenniferEC]

Does anyone know what the picture CBS had on its website of the cast had to do with the finale? I know Doc Robbins with the scapal had to do with the storyline last week along with the Lucky Dragons casino, but what about the guy that was shot? That didn't look like Brass. It just seems like this finale was WAY overhyped.

[UTChick]

I don't know...I was thinking about that picture - especially at the end - and was trying to figure out if I had missed something. It pretty much seemed like a regular episode with the Brass storyline thrown in there every once in a while. Not what I was expecting at all.

Last season's finale had my heart racing the whole time - practically had me in a panic attack at times. :o Tonight's episode didn't take hold of my emotions like that. It just wasn't as intense as I thought it would be. *shrug*

[miaclear]

I agree. I still have last seasons finale on Tivo, I might have to watch that again cause tonights show was just a regular show for me. Aside from the ending and all I can say to that is "shivers" I just do not see those two together. I see him more with the blonde cop lady.

[CTs_Punkin]

I was very disappointed in this "finale". I was hoping for a little more. When I realized that the episode was almost over, I was wondering when they were going to "throw" in the GG + ?? - SPOILER When I saw the robe, I was secretly hoping it was going to be Sofia.... alas, so wrong... so wrong... Where did that come from? Trying to make up for the episode earlier in the year that they were supposed to hook up in (one with the kidnapped girl where Nick saved the day by following the bubble gum trail..)

Anyhow, was very anticlimatic for me...

[jimmysgirl424]

I agree, this episode just did not have the intensity and emotion that last season's finale held for me. The whole Brass thing just seemed to be thrown in at the last minute and wasn't very well put together. So, he flatlined twice and they were able to bring him back both times and of course his daughter was there watching the second time. Can we say predictable??? :rolleyes: Blech. I don't know, the whole episode just didn't capture my interest and seemed to drag in the worst way. I didn't care for either of the two cases that they solved along the way. Boooorrrrring!!!!!

I must be in a minority. I don't mind Gil and Sarah hooking up. :p

[GoCougs]

I must be in a minority. I don't mind Gil and Sarah hooking up. :p

I actually sat up and said "Ewww!" at the TV when Sarah walked out of the bathroom. As soon as the camera panned out on Grissom a little bit and I could see that he was on a bed, I knew it wasn't going to be good. I was hoping (like a PP) that it was Lady Heather as well....but no such luck. Gross.

[jesseybell]

I haven't watched the episode yet but already I am saying 'Ewwww'- don't feel like rushing to watch it.

[batgirl]

You know, I totally forgot this was on last night... Can someone tell me if they killed off Brass? (I hope not, he was one of my favorite characters :( ). And do I understand you guys correctly... Gil and Sarah???

All I can say is Ewwwwww! WTF were they (the writers) thinking!

[miaclear]

Nope....he's alive and well (recovering).

[Islandbride1025]

Does anyone know what the picture CBS had on its website of the cast had to do with the finale?

Absolutely nothing! TPTB really hyped this finale up and then pssst, nada. When they showed Sara walking towards Gil, I was praying it was the blonde cop. She has better chemistry with Gil.

I'd rather see Warrick and Katherine together, there'd be some sparks at least.

[skyblu]

Re: Sara--I can't be the only one bugged by her weird inflection when she speaks. Drives me insane! She drops low at the end of every sentence for drama, I guess.

OMG, I thought I was crazy, but listening to her speak drives me NUTS!!! I despise her...weirdpausesandfast...stringing...ofsomewords together....

"Horatio Caine" on CSI Miami does the same thing. Blech.

[skyblu]

BTW, I thought the new lab tech with the really thick bangs was quite flirty with Grissom, so I was hoping it'd be her instead of Sarah. Ew. Please, do NOT show them getting it on!

[jimmysgirl424]

I think the reason why Gil and Sarah hooking up doesn't bother me is because I was already halfway expecting it. The writers had hinted at some sparks flying between the two of them several times in the past few seasons, so I was pretty much waiting for it to happen.

DH was horrified when I told him (he had fallen asleep during the show) He thought it was the blonde that Gil ended up with.

ITA. Although I didn't necessarily feel a "spark" between them, there were enough of those "looks" to make me wonder about them. But still, I just don't see it.

I'd rather see Warrick and Katherine together, there'd be some sparks at least.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!

I've seen the hints and the glances and such and I just don't feel them together as a couple, no chemistry. I was hoping the writers realized this and didn't go that route. Guess we'll have to wait and see for next season what becomes of it.

[GoCougs]

Ok, this is totally random, but since it involves one of the actors on CSI, I have to share this: last night I dreamt that I was totally making out with George Eads, the actor who plays Nick Stokes. Let me just tell you it was a very nice dream ;)

Well, up until this past season, I would have fought you over him! ;) But....I totally hate his new hairstyle that they have been forcing on him, not to mention that god-awful mustache. Blech.

He's still got that sexy thing going for him though. I just wish they would stop doing his hair like that!!

Ha! Too funny that you mention that because in my dream, he had his short hair back and no mustache, and I commented on how I like his hair shorter. Then we started dancing......I swear, it was the best dream!!

I think that they've cut his hair recently in the last few episodes, too, so hopefully that phase is over.

[jimmysgirl424]

We can only hope! :)

[Sin Nombre]

DH and I were wondering if he adopted that look for a movie role - as a '70s porn star! :D

I am like so in love with him. Absolutely gorgeous! I think I might have had that dream once or twice also! :D

[flygirl]

I must be the only one who wanted to see the two of them together, based on sparks in past seasons, but it came out of nowhere in this episode and there were 0 sparks. Poorly done.

[jenahdawn]

I will take Gary Dourdan. Yum-my!

[jimmysgirl424]

I must be the only one who wanted to see the two of them together, based on sparks in past seasons, but it came out of nowhere in this episode and there were 0 sparks. Poorly done.


Nope...you aren't the only one. I don't mind at all and had been looking for it to happen long before this episode. ITA though, it wasn't written into the script well at all.

[kcjaime]

Count me in as one that was enjoying the Grissom/Sara flirtation. I liked how it was just there, very subtly, in some episodes. However, I think that this ending to the episode was pretty shocking, and almost too extreme. I mostly wish we could have just seen a kiss. That's what I expected, too, as they'd been building up to it in the last couple episodes. I really would have liked to have seen that.

Now the show has me wondering how long this has been going on. I feel sort of ripped off that we didn't get to see it unfold, as I think that would have been the most interesting part. Now I'm just afraid that they've crossed that line and that something will be ruined in the dynamic. :confused: I don't know-guess we'll have to see.

I also was bugged by their outfits-I guess I just like seeing them in character-appropriate clothes, and these just seemed completely unexpected for what I'd imagine either character to wear off work.

Weird.

[Sin Nombre]

Now the show has me wondering how long this has been going on. I feel sort of ripped off that we didn't get to see it unfold, as I think that would have been the most interesting part.

This describes my reaction as well. We've been aware of the Grissom/Sarah dynamic literally for years now, but have always been led to believe Grissom held it in check due to work ethics. I felt cheated seeing them lounging around in their bathrobes, totally at ease and comfortable after having done something they've clearly done dozens of times by now.

Unlike many others, I would've had far more of an "ew" reaction had it been Sofia. Something about her really bugs me; I can't put my finger on it. I think ultimately, perhaps right before the show ends, Grissom will end up with Katherine.

[Dotsie]

I hated the ending. I watch CSI for the drama. That's why I think it's sucha great show. I was really disappointed that they threw Sara and Grissom together. WHile I have seen the sparks between them I was hoping it would stay at that. If I want romance I'll watch Lifetime. I think if they head in the direction of the twosome it will not make for good CSI.

p.s. George Eads is too hot for words. I wouldn't mind having a dream with him in it:D

[kcjaime]

Unlike many others, I would've had far more of an "ew" reaction had it been Sofia. Something about her really bugs me; I can't put my finger on it. I think ultimately, perhaps right before the show ends, Grissom will end up with Katherine.


I agree about Sofia. She bugs me less this season, but she's not my favorite.

I hope Grissom doesn't end up with Katherine-I see ZERO sparks with them. I like Katherine with Warrick! I want to see some of that. :)

[Sin Nombre]

Warrick is pretty yummy, I'll admit (those eyes!). But in the long run, I think Grissom needs Katherine. He needs to be with someone he respects professionally, but who will loosen him up and normalize him (to the degree he can be normalized).
