LV - Season 7 spoilers/rumours

What no way :eek: rumours about Hodges and Sara.
These are my views on the two...

Hodges: I think it would be a silly idea to make him the serial killer, but then in some ways think it would be really good. As all these years we've been trusting him etc.. and it kind of would make some sort of sense, if he had gone mad etc or something. I kind of hope it is Hodges :rotfl: As bad as that sounds.

Sara: I think that would be a terrible mistake. Not just because she's my favourite. But the writers would get sooo many complaints, and I think if it was Sara, the viewings would drop dramatically (some people are like that). I just don't think that's in Saras character, and would ruin all of which we've watched.

These are just my views of course. And I know they are only specualtion like hee.

I can't personally see it with either of them myself - Hodges was brought in for light relief following Gregs move to the field (and he does crack me up!) although his attention to detail etc and always wanting to be right could go against him. I think he is more of a red herring than anything tbh.

Sara - well...:hmm: I dunno - in some of the episodes already shown the US, it has been mentioned that because of the meticulous nature in which all the crime scenes and the miniatures have been dealt with, with no forensic evidence left behind etc as such, then Nick commented that it could be an inside job (lab, police or CSI), but I think the speculation about Sara is plain and simply to do with her not yet signing up for the next Season (or at least it not having been announced).

I think it will be someone completely difference, but from the clues, apparently the viewers "know" the killer - which makes you go :hmm: :hmm: :lol:

I don't think it's Hodges or Sara that is the minature killer. It's way to obvious to be one of them. I do beleive that it is either a cop or possible a criminal from a previous series seeking revenge on the csi. They probably won't reveal who it is until the end of the series. If reports are true that Jorja (sara) has not renewed her contract yet then maybe they have a plan to make it personal and have a minature of her place and the possiblity that she could be a victim.

That was one of the other possibilities that was being banded about - that if Jorja didn't sign up, she'd be the final victim.

I think we are thinking along the same lines Kath - these two are far too much of red herrings to be the killer - I think its more likely to be someone that we've seen in the lab/police station or where ever that have been very much in the background. Then they will be revealed and we'll be like ... ohhhhhh!

A bit like when the copper got killed in the finale of Miami - everyone was speculating about the death of one of them, and it was him who hadn't really been in it much

From Jen in Stockton, California: I heard a rumor that CSI's Miniature Killer might be David Hodges, or that it might be someone else within the crime lab. Do you know if there is any truth to this rumor?
When I asked Wallace Langham these very questions, he told me, "David Hodges is very much involved with the story of the Miniature Killer. He's been trying desperately to cozy up to Grissom, and...killing people might get Grissom's attention." Wallace (a wonderful man, by the way) tells me the Miniature Killer storyline will be resolved by season's end—and that something very important involving David Hodges is revealed in this season's 20th ep, airing Apr. 12.


Far to much of a red herring surely!!!!

They wouldnt be this obvious !

Maybe Hodges is the one to crack the case, rather than actually be the MCSK. Like you say Em - its far too obvious and lots of people have already been speculating that its Hodges, so surely they wouldn't have it as him. I think hes great! Love his character - he'd better be in Season 8!!!

In the 19th episode, “Big Shots” opens in the parking lot outside Chances, a gentlemen’s club. Beauty pageant winners Miss Boulder City and Miss Lake Tahoe are making out while Miss Sparks stands in the dark smoking marijuana. It’s 4:20 a.m. and they’re getting anxious for their limo to arrive.

The sound of gunshots fills the air. A limo heads straight toward the valet platform, hopping the curb and taking out a newspaper box. The valet attendants, patrons and the beauty pageant contestants run for their lives. The limo plows toward Miss Boulder City who’s heel pops off. At the last instant, she jumps out of the way and the limo crashes into the back of the club.

The limo is riddled with bullet holes. Champ Landley is found dead inside the vehicle, shot in the head.

A young girl is found dead on Green Valley Parkway. COD is craniocerebral trauma. Abrasions on elbows, ribs, and knees caps go down to the bone. She also suffered atlanto-occipital dislocation, a basilar skull fracture and a contre-coup injury from her head bouncing against the ground. She was dragged behind a car.

The young girl is initially identified as Melissa Gentry based on identification found in the victim’s purse. Warrick brings Gentry’s mother, Kathy Gentry, into the police department to discuss her daughter’s death. The conversation is interrupted by a phone call from Catherine advising him that the body was misidentified. Melissa Gentry is alive and well. Warrick shows Mrs. Gentry the picture of the victim initially believed to be her daughter and asks if she knows the girl. Mrs. Gentry identifies the victim as Simone Castro, her daughter’s best friend.

Catherine interviews Melissa Gentry about her best friend Simone’s horrible death. Melissa says that Simone was all about having fun and no one would want to kill her. According to Melissa, Simone enjoys having a good time with guys who have money. She doesn’t have sex with them. She just likes to get drunk and hang out in cool penthouses.

In the 21st episode, “Ending Happy” involves the complicated death of former boxer, Felix Morales aka “Happy.” Happy was found dead, floating in the swimming pool of the Sugar Cane Ranch whorehouse with a large purple contusion on his forehead partially closing one eye and two holes in his neck.

Sugar Cane Ranch is located in Nye County, Nevada. However, the county is not equipped to handle murder cases so the Las Vegas team steps in to assist local Sheriff Bastille. The whorehouse has an unusual carnival atmosphere, filled with attractive young “working girls” and senior citizens. Sheriff Bastille explains that there is an inexpensive trailer park in the hills behind Sugar Cane Ranch.

Sara and Grissom meet one of the senior citizens, Milton, when he screams out from a crowd of the elderly that someone shot his wife. Sheriffe Bastille sets the record straight. Milton’s wife died of a stroke 10 years ago.

Sheriffe Bastille tells Sara and Grissom that Sugar Cane Ranch is owned by George (aka Binky) and Doris Babinkian, who run a tight ship, pay their taxes, provide employment, pillars of the community who have never been a problem. As he extols the virtues of the establishment and its owners, working girl Aimee pushes her way through the crowd to hand the Sheriff his gun belt complete with holstered weapon, which he left in her room.

David Phillips examines Happy’s body at the scene, but doesn’t reach a clear determination as to cause of death. Happy could have drowned, but the large contusion on his forehead is significant. Upon further examination, Phillips notices two dime-sized holes on either side of Happy’s trachea.

Grissom examines two streaks of blood on the dead man’s t-shirt, lining up under the neck holes and running from the collar to mid-chest. Grissom determines Happy was standing when he sustained the throat punctures and could have bled down his throat, drowning in his own blood before he hit the water.

Greg goes to the parlor of Sugar Cane Ranch and lines the girls up to give DNA samples. As he swabs Aimee’s mouth, she tells him to come see her later so she can show him a better way to get DNA.

Brass goes to the Sugar Cane Ranch beauty shop to talk to some of the girls. They all deny having seen Happy the night before. After a little persuasion, he gets them to tell him what they think of Happy. The girls hated Happy. He hit on them all the time, got rough with them, required pills to achieve erection but couldn’t finish the job and he farted a lot. Additionally, he stopped paying for their services. He thought the rules of the house didn’t apply to him. It seems the owners had taken him in, potentially to help him with a comeback in his boxing career. The girls tell Brass that Binky was tired of the way Happy treated them and tried to get him to stop being so obnoxious, but Doris didn’t do much about it because she was fond of Happy. The girls seem to know more about Doris and Happy, but won’t say anything.

Warrick learns that the letters E space S – L- U are visible in the contusion on Happy’s forehead. Grissom, Sara and Greg search the girls rooms looking for defensive weapons that might bear those initials. They uncover a bounty of weapons, despite Doris’ assurance that the girls weren’t allowed to have weapons. Grissom finds a baseball bat in one of the girl’s rooms. Lettering on the bat match the lettering on the victim’s head.

Brass brings Dreama Cox in for interrogation. She is the owner of the baseball bat. After singing a little song for Brass, he reminds her he isn’t Paula Abdul and they get down to business. Dreama admits to hitting Happy in the head with the baseball bat, but claims she did not kill him because he walked out of her room. She hit him with the bat in self-defense and lifts her shirt to reveal nasty bruises on her ribs which she says Happy gave her.

Dreama may be off the hook when Dr. Robbins determines the severe head trauma may not have been what killed Happy.

Best chat up line ever :rotfl:

Gotta love an episode named after Little Orphan Annie's battle cry.

So what do you get when you cross Xenu with those weird tapes found on the Lost island?

The answer is: This episode.

Greg gets bitten by a suspect, Nick wrangles pigs, Sara is reminded why she became a vegetarian, and Grissom may join a UFO-based religion.

Just kidding on that last part.

It's not likely Sara will be joining up, either.

SARA
What is this?

GRISSOM
I think their UFO club is based on the teachings of this man. Dr. Sidney Buckman. Appears to be a lecture.

DR. SIDNEY BUCKMAN
...The natural form of these invaders is not human. They are described in ancient accounts as serpents and dragons. And man's weapons against them has been the sword. Cut off its tail and the serpent lives. Cut off its tale and the serpent dies...

SARA
Did he think Chyna came from outer space?
(off Grissom's look)
That's the craziest motive I ever heard.


I wish Mulder and Scully would visit.
