just watched the episode poor catherine nick will probably blame himself when he finds out. The writers did say they were going to get personal this year with the characters and with Greg being assaulted in the coming weeks it looks like being another terrific series. Loved the scene with grissom bringing sara something to eat it was so sweet.
" I want a veggie burger delivered by the cute guy with the dimples" :rotfl:
Wasn't that second crime scene, with the exact replica in model form, spooky!!
Oh, and I forgot we did briefly see beardless :crying: Grissom's office, but it was only for like 2 minutes, so I didn't really take any notice of the butterflies.
yeah bring back the beard!!!!! they all seem to be losing their hair.
Watched it again and still can figure out the look sara gives with the ring!!!
oh ment to ask what happened with warrick and his other half. was that resolved i cant remember
Well, at the end it was left with them splitting after him having a go at her when she was arranging his b/day party in the casino and he thought she was seeing someone else - but nothing else happened after that with them I don't think..
So here's what you have to know for this episode: (Jimmy Hoffa + Las Vegas)/Elvis = Mickey Dunn.
Mickey Dunn was sort of like one of those guys that Michael Corleone had killed in The Godfather while he was baptizing Connie's baby, who was really Sofia Coppola, but whatever. Back in the summer of '76 (oh, I remember it well. I was an egg in an ovary. Good times), crime boss/mobster/man about town Mickey Dunn went missing. Disappeared without a trace in his gold Cadillac. The Caddie was found submerged in Lake Mead, complete with what I can only imagine would be disgustingly decayed remains, in addition to a collection of Partridge Family 8-Track cartridges. Oh, come on! Don't you watch I Love The 70s? Anyway, Catherine and Warrick are hot on the...cold case. Disappeared without a trace? Cold case? I smell CBS Sundays.
In addition to the Mickey Dunn mystery, we've got a crooner named Michael Myers (really, what good can come out of that name? Well...) who's got a good voice (a plus), but has a penchant for pushing wheelchair-bound people into oncoming traffic (I'd have to say that's a negative). Well, what Myers is actually doing is killing, one by one, men who were associated with Mickey Dunn.
At whose behest is the big question.
See? The two cases are tied together. Isn't that funny how that worked out. What a coincidence.
Two interesting tidbits: 1) Mickey Dunn had a run in with a sixteen-year-old Catherine Willows in 1975, although I find it funny that her last name at age sixteen is "Willows" in the script. Leave it to me to nitpick. Anyway, Ms. Pre-Willows and her friends couldn't get into the sold-out showing of Jaws, so they hit the casinos. Goodness me, maybe soon we'll have a flashback of an eleven-year-old Sara hanging out at a bowling alley because E.T. was sold out.
2) Dr. Robbins knocks a guy unconscious...on purpose. An unwelcome photog is snapping pics of the remains in the morgue, so Doc Robbins introduced him to his CANE. Okay, so he doesn't go medieval on the guy, but he's quick to act and Mr. Paparazzi is soon out cold. I'm pretty sure Dr. House has threatened to use his cane on people, but has he followed through? This might be a first for cane-carrying doctors on primetime television.
so has anyone seen the new episode? I cant wait to see it tonight
ok this sounds like it is going to be a strange season of viewing csi
I shall be doing my usual Saturday viewing of all three whilst hubby at work - but thats not going to come quick enough as far as i'm concerned!Quote:

Great episode although, still not solved the aged rocker murder.
Has Ecklie rumbled Gil & Sara?!
Felt for Catherine, especially at the end - I presume Sam dies seeing as his eyes were all staring etc. I had a funny feeling it all tied back into the original suicide though.
Not sure if I'm liking the format of not solving both though and carrying this part over again till next week :hmm: The jury is out on that one. Roll on next week though :D
Ahh can't wait to watch it :( You're making me all green eyed :lol:
Sam dies :eek:
Not sure if I'm liking the format of not solving both though and carrying this part over again till next week << Leanne doesn't know what this means, but is certainly intrigued :hmm:
lol - the opening episode is a two parter, but instead of it all being solved by the end, one of the murders isn't - its left open, so whether it will come up next week, or later on in the series, I can't remember.
Sam was shot a couple of times in the chest, so I presume he dies, but then Brass was shot in the chest and he survived so you never know.
Oh right, I get you. Oh better be the week after :eek: How annoying would that be :lol:
And ah right. In a way I'm not that bothered if he does die...won't be a major loss...I'm not too keen on him to be honest. lol.
Nah - its just a shame for Catherine really especially as they fell out and were still not right just as he was shot. He was responsible in a roundabout way for Catherine being administered the date rape drug (although it looks like she didn't get assaulted which is great) and then getting Lindsey kidnapped too, so she was majorly upset with him about that, but hes not really a huge character in it. If he is dead though, it will be interesting to see who his legacy is left to - Catherine or one of his "friends".....:hmm:
Wow that all looks really good :eek:Quote:

Yeah that will be interesting.. maybe Catherine would be too obvious? But ya never know..Quote:

I've just finished watching this episode and can I just say that doc robbins rocks. him and grissom singing while doing the autopsy was class. are they going to carry over the story of the rock star who was killed to future episodes or will they leave it as an unsolved case.
Thats what I was thinking Kath.Quote:

omg how fustrating was that episode? i cant believe it ended there!!!! i wont what that pic was at the back - looked like the baby to me.
I was a bit dispointed in the lindsey storyline seemed too easy finding her thought they could have dragged that out a bit more
I thought they found her way too easily too - when they broke into the apartment, I was sure that Lindsey wouldn't be there, but there she was - seemed too simple.
I thought it looked a bit like a doll picture, with him and the baby on one side and a baby doll/dolls eye on the other.
I just hope it all concludes properly next week now...
The photo looked a bit like the face of a china doll. It was a weird ending, hope we find a conculsion next week. Is there a new acctress playing lindsay this series or has she just grown up a lot since the last time she was in the show
I heard that there was, or read that there was, from Madison McReynolds to Kay Panabaker. Was the new one good? The other one was really sweet and had a sweet voice hehe.Quote:

I'm pretty sure it was a new Lindsey and she didn't do too bad, but then we haven't really ever seen much of Lindsey before apart from the odd appearance so I don't think we'd notice it too much to be honest.
Back in March when CBS caught wind of ABC’s scheduling change for Grey’s Anatomy, they say down to creatively talk about Season 7 of CSI. “The producer’s really started challenging themselves,” says CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler.
A couple of the strategies that were created came out in the two-part season opener, “Built to Kill.” The first of which is the creation of serialized storylines. The storyline involving the painstaking miniature model of the crime scene is one that involves a serial killer and will last at least through the middle of the season.
Another strategy is the use of stunt casting. George Eads (Nick Stokes) and Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) swayed to a performance by John Mayer in the season opener. Last week, Danny Bonaduce and Sean Young, both known for dramatic personal and professional lives, were cast as a murdered rock star and his ex-wife.
These strategies are employed to keep the show fresh, in order to compete with it’s sexy night time soap rival. However, long time fans needn’t worry that the changes will ruin the show they love. Executive producer Naren Shankar says the writers understand the unusual chemistry of CSI and may refine the formula, but won’t alter it. “Shows often, I think, make the mistake when they try to change their DNA, for lack of a better term. … When you start trying to change what a show is, in response to what may or may not be on or what you think other people may or may not want, it’s almost always a mistake,” say Shankar.
Looks like this bit won't be solved soon then - if its a serial killer, are they going to have the miniature model as their MO and they'll painstakingly make exact replicas of all of their crime scenes do you think??Quote:

Three of The Who’s more popular songs serve as the opening themes for the franchise. “Who Are You” is the theme of the original CSI, while “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Reilly” serve as the opening themes for CSI:Miami and CSI:NY, respectively.
The details of Daltry’s role on CSI are being kept under wraps by the show’s producers, who call it “a surprise role that will keep viewers guessing.”
Not only can Daltry sing, he can act as well. Acting since the 1970’s, his portrayal of the title character in “Tommy,” the film adaptation of The Who’s rock opera, garnered him a Golden Globe nomination. More recently, he completed filming on the History Channel series “Extreme History.” His theater credits include "A Christmas Carol" and "The Wizard of Oz." The Who, who received their first record deal in 1965, are currently touring to support their new album, “Endless Wire,” which will be released October 31.
OMG this is so cool! I loooove The Who!Quote:

And it looks like all the Tai Chi* in the world isn't keep Grissom from burning out.
Two cases: 1) Mrs. Ivonova -- dead, old Russian woman, found in her kitchen. Her window? In direct line of sight with the kitchen window of her neighbors, Max and Patty Sullivan, two potential witnesses who Nick, Sofia, and Greg are having a tough time finding. Their suspicion grows when they realize the Sullivan kitchen is a hastily cleaned crime scene. Green JELL-O and blood.
2) Raymundo Suarez -- slaughterhouse employee. Worked at Mannleigh Chicken Processing Plant. Suarez is MCSK's THIRD VICTIM. Oh, and MCSK is short for Mini-Crime Scene Killer. He's found dead -- paralyzed by the current of electricity used to stun the chickens, and he drowned in a couple of inches of water. We get the usual red herrings. Suarez was the owner's wife. Her name is Bubbles. Just...no. The late, great, fake Izzy Delancy hopped on the animal rights train before he died and spoke out against the Mannleigh Chicken Processing Plant. My analogy: Izzy was PETA and Mannleigh was Anna Wintour. Anna doesn't like PETA, and PETA doesn't like Anna, and I, for one, don't think Anna Wintour is above murder. That haircut is pretty severe. The main guy you need to know about? Ernie Dell. He fixes the machines at the plant. Says Grissom:
QUOTE
Mr. Dell, you and I have quite a bit in common. I examine minute bits of things, looking for connections. I'm also trained in the study of insects. I've spent a lot of time alone, and I know the pleasures of small worlds. (hands Ernie his card) Here's my card. Call me if there's anything you want to tell me.
I've just watched episode 4 fannysmaking. Dont watch it poor greggro.
im just about to watch it - is it sad?Quote:

I think its the one where he gets a kicking though isn't it - going to watch it later (along with NY and Miami oh and NCIS too but thats another story lol)
This is the one where he gets a severe battering. Its such a shame you should see the state of him.
Question: Do you know anything about Grissom and Sara's relationship on CSI?— Aditya Ponto
Ausiello: I know I have this exclusive, only-for-AA quote from exec producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar: "After having dealt with a miniature-making serial killer, a murder in a church, a tragic case of two missing boys, and Kevin Federline, Gil Grissom will decide that he needs a short break from the lab... and maybe a break from Sara, too. He'll only be gone a few weeks, but his office won't remain vacant in his absence. Watch out fetal pig, your days might be numbered." As I previously reported, Gil's mini-vacation will air in January, and, per my CSI spy, will be prompted by some bleak parting words from that aforementioned "miniature-making" serial killer. Apparently, he'll affect Gil in a way most standard psychopaths don't
Just watched 7:01.
Really good episode I think. I really feel sorry for Catherine at the end :( Poor woman. Gunna watch the next eppi now *gets excited*
Just watched the next part! Poor Sam! Even though I don't really like him that much, I just felt sorry for Cath, wasn't iher night at all was it :eek: :(
What was up with the end? what did the whole eye thing? :eek: Lea is confused :p
Also that reminded me.. what was Brass's Tattoo about.. May 11 2006... is that when he was shot?
Yeah Lea I think that is when he was shot (but the timelime is set for the American viewing. Still no news on Sam's condition.
Okay, so, as Grissom makes his exit, Adam Novak, a.k.a. Mr. Marg Helgenberger, a.k.a. Mr. President drops by so we won't feel so lonely. He's the lawyer who had an "encounter" with Catherine in Weeping Willows. Novak is establishing reasonable doubt in a case where the ADA is trying to prove a son murdered his mother. Novak is obviously a better lawyer than he is a date, because he gets his client off.
Grissom makes a tiny appearance and Ecklie gets Dr. Parker's recycled lines from Built to Kill"

ECKLIE
Don't get me wrong, I think a sabbatical's a great idea. Take some time away before you burn out. Otherwise, you'll be getting migraines, snapping at your team, having an affair with a co-worker, all that mid-life stuff.
GRISSOM
Didn't you just by a Porsche?
ECKLIE
That's not mid-life, that's divorce. (beat) So Catherine's up to speed?"
Grissom stares at him.
ECKLIE
You leave in less than 48 hours. In lieu of postcards, I would tell your team today. [QUOTE]
Catherine and Nick are certain that Mr. Not Guilty, a.k.a. Jay Finch, killed his mother and are on the search to find any more crimes they can charge him with.
:crying: How longs he gone for ??
I don't want him to go. Things won't be the same :p
Long story short: a very popular political figure, Assemblyman Raho Ortiz, is murdered and the city is reeling. Ortiz was a golden boy, and because I don't feel like coming up with adjectives, the public thinks of him as a younger, Latin Barak Obama. You know, someone pretty much everybody likes. The episode opens, however, with Ortiz getting blackmailed with a photograph of him dipping into the nose candy during his not-so-spotless past. So, he's not exactly the future of the Democratic Party.
Liev Schreiber is CSI Keppler. He sticks pretty closely to Catherine, who seems to have replaced Warrick with Keppy as her right hand, younger, tall, male CSI. Because Grissom is off galavanting at Brown University which means no veggie burgers with Sara. There's some "tension" while Catherine sends Warrick off with Nick to go process 20 motorcycles ANYWAY a little bit later, everyone is embarking on a scene when Warrick wants in on the dirty work only to have Catherine order him to take the perimeter. You'd think Warrick's doppelgänger lay inside with his throat slit in a really spacious bathroom. Anyway, because they really seem to be pushing this, I'll post the excerpt:
QUOTE
CATHERINE
Keppler and I have it covered. You take the perimeter. Get a diagram started.
Warrick reacts to her "rookie" instructions.
WARRICK
Thanks. I've done this before.
Catherine is the new Grissom. Warrick is the new Sara. I CANNOT WAIT until Grissom returns and fills us in on what it was like to be a stripper back when it was about talent and not silicone and for Sara to pile on the coats in the harsh Nevada sun and quote Shakespeare to a room full of people who don't care.
The title refers to a song by the Velvet Underground, and the long line of Jane Does found murdered pretty much straight off the bus.
We get Jane Doe circa 1970s, Jane Doe 1981, 1989, 1997, and...2007. Happy New Year.
Each victim is sexually assaulted and choked multiple times before ultimately dying of asphyxiation. All of the victims are the same type: new to the town, young, nubile, oblivious, naïve. Anyway, every decade or so this sadistic serial killer targets this specific type of girl and kills her. The killer then dumps the body in the area with the highest crime rate at that time. Keppler is impressed.
QUOTE
KEPPLER
Smart. Crime center seems to move around pretty quickly here.
WARRICK
In Vegas new is old in five years. Old is history in ten. Nothing leaves much of a mark.
KEPPLER
That's one of the things I like about it here.
Keppler is exactly the kind of guy you fake number.
Catherine isn't thrilled with the vibe she gets off of him, either. She finds him "vaguely troubling," according to the script. Take from that what you will.
So far, investigators in the past have not been able to come up with viable suspects for various reasons, including the fact that DNA is only now a fixture of crime labs in the country. Nick has an interesting discussion with the man who worked the Jane Doe 1989 case, CSI-turned-PI Jesse Daniels, that highlights how the advances in technology have aided CSIs in recent years and the increasing awareness of the importance forensics playing a role in crime solving. Basically, we now know what DNA is now and cops don't throw cheeseburger wrappers on crime scenes anymore.
While Nick goes in search of the remnants from the 1989 case, Keppy manages to find a pattern that gets them a step closer to solving the case. So he's not all bad.
So, yeah, anyway, the case is a bummer and it's probably a good thing that Grissom isn't in LV leading the case. Because Jane Doe 2007? Has a butterfly tattoo on her left hip. We all know what happens when Grissom sees a dead girl with a butterfly tattoo, don't we?
oooh Catherine is getting a bit bossy with Grissom being away, I thought they were bringing in someone new to cover his leave. I wonder if any of the jane doe victims will be brunette. :hmm:
