CSI (Las Vegas)- season 10 - Page 2

I think you're absolutely right.  And that's really all I have to say about that episode.    (Except that it's nice to see Curtis Armstrong getting work.) 

Glad the show is back to its regular time slot this week.  For many reasons.

I know, all I could think about was that Booger was a panty sniffer!

I was thinking the same thing!  

I guess we have to wait until the season finale to see the identity of Dr. Jekyll.

Tonight's episode, Field Mice was a lot of fun for the main storyline of Hodge's and Wendy giving those students a look into the lab and processes. I like how it followed on with the earlier Star Trek themed episode of Hodge's fantasy life and how he sees Wendy. Perhaps it was a tad over the top satisfying audience expectation of them finally "consummating" the relationship and admitting to the attraction, at least Wendy finally made it clear. Nice contrast to how the Grissom/Sara romance resolved. I'm glad they followed up! The part that surprised me was the opening credits and seeing that Wallace Langham and Liz Vassey wrote the screenplay.

The scene where the blonde girl slips and is held up by the boy felt like an homage to a scene (a number of years ago) where Catherine slips and is caught by Warrick; when they were checking storm drains for evidence.  Nice episode.  For my money CSI continues to have some of the best writing of any of the procedurals on television.

Oh yeah, boozed up Jim Brass was terrific.


- Walter.

I'm glad they still have the annual lab techs episode. Bitter and drunk Brass was hilarious and Hodges is a lucky son of a gun for getting to kiss Wendy.

I don't always keep up with the latest entertainment news anymore, so I was messing around with the TV Guide's website that is designated for iPad users. Works pretty well, streamlined.

 

In looking at the news section, it said that Jorja Fox is signed to appear in Season 11. And it wasn't clear if she'll be a regular cast member or part time. I know not everyone is a fan of hers, but I'm glad she'll be back

 

But another story there surprised me, Liz Vassey won't be back! I'm sorry to see that, just as things were finally getting going for Hodges. The producers said she wasn't invited back because they are shifting the creative direction if the show.

 

So what does that mean? Some of the comments on the TV Guide post was that Langston's character and overly focus on him wasn't a good idea, he wasn't as interesting as Grissom, and that the other characters should have got more focus. I can see that, especially Catherine and Nick. Some think Vassey should stay and Fox should not come back! Perhaps the ratings and interest in CSI has declined. It has been on a long time. So it's not a surprise. So a change up in the show could be to fix problems or get the focus back to what made it great.

 

My guess, if Sara is back full time, or part time, perhaps this is the last season and the alleged return of Peterson to the role of Grissom is finally going to happen? Not full time of course, but perhaps for special episodes. Nice to have the family back together again, if that could happen.

After what happened to some of the other long-time shows that were cancelled last season, even though they were routinely winning their time slots, I would not be surprised if the 11th season ends up being the last. I just hope they are ready for that possibility.
