LV - Season 7 spoilers/rumours
Discuss/post any spoilers/rumours you hear :D
In the first episode of CSI's 7th season, entitled "Toe Tags" viewers get to find out what happens to the dead after the white sheets are drawn over their bodies for the last time.
According to CSI Files sources, "Toe Tags" takes us directly into Dr. Robbins's morgue, where he's just finished the autopsy on a woman named Donna Altman. Doc Robbins puts Donna in one of the autopsy drawers and shuts it close, turns all the lights off and heads home for the night. The morgue is quiet, but suddenly Donna's eyes open and she comes to life. She sits up and looks around her, and finds the body of another woman, Rebecca McGill, next to her. Rebecca is already awake, and the two women quickly bond over their similar states. Donna and Rebecca lived very different lives but now they have something in common: they're both dead.
Donna can't remember how she got to the morgue. In life, she worked for a Japanese man named Tao Li, and as a former cop, her job was to protect him from any possible enemies whenever he did business in Vegas. Donna doesn't know how she died or why, but she's sure someone out there is going to find these answers. Catherine and Brass are determined to do this. Donna's body was found in an elevator of The Orpheus hotel and casino. Catherine and Brass talk to Tao Li, but he has a strong alibi: he was gambling in the casinos when Donna was killed. Could Donna have been murdered by Mr. Li's supposed enemies? Both Catherine and Donna won't rest until these questions are answered.
Rebecca, a former super model, recently married Gavin McGill, a geek. Rebecca knew in life she and Gavin where an unlikely pair, beauty and the geek, but she fell in love with Gavin. The couple went on a hike the day before when Rebecca suddenly fell off the cliff and into her death. Outside the morgue, Warrick and Sofia interrogate Gavin, who tells them Rebecca has been suffering strong depressions. He rejects their implication that Rebecca could've jumped to her death, after all, he and Rebecca were planning to have a family, and suicidal people don't make plans. Gavin is then infuriated when Warrick and Sofia imply Gavin killed Rebecca. In fact, the only theory Gavin will accept is that Rebecca's death was merely an accident. Unfortunately, this is the one theory Warrick and Sofia can't accept.
Back in the morgue, Jack Snook suddenly comes to life in the drawer next to Donna and Rebecca's. He's looking for his wife and baby daughter, and is relieved to find out they're still alive. His Semper Fi tattoo indicates Jack is a Marine, and he recently completed his tour of Iraq. Jack came home the very same week he was killed in the streets of Vegas. He met his daughter for the first time, and quickly all was taken away from him when a man stepped up to him and his family in a gas station and stabbed Jack to death. Jack doesn't know why he was killed. Outside the morgue, Nick and Greg are finding it hard to answer that question as well.
The morgue is filled with sound and life again when Lou Beltran and Ray Gaynor come to. Lou complains that he's not supposed to be there; Ray, who is missing an arm, merely takes comfort from a cigarette. Grissom and Sara are investigating their deaths, which seem to have something in common: a chain saw. Their bodies are found in Lou's garage; Lou has a deep gash on his neck, Ray is missing an arm. Lou's wife explains she and Lou were in the middle of a nasty divorce but she can't be a suspect, as she was in an airplane when Lou was killed. Grissom and Sara don't seem to have many suspects, but that doesn't stop them from trying to find out what happened to Lou and Ray.
Doc Robbin's morgue isn't hell, heaven, or the purgatory, but merely a waiting room for whatever comes next to these characters. Donna, Rebecca, Jack, Lou, and Ray can't tell what's coming next for them, for now, all they can do is lie in their drawers and hope the CSIs solve their cases and bring them justice so they can move on and finally rest in peace.
Please note that the above plot details have not been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films, and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The above information comes from early script drafts and the details of the episodes are liable to change before the episodes are shown.
"Toe Tags" is expected to air in late September of 2006.
Question: if it's to be aired late September (back in 63 *cough*) nah but late Septemberm in USA....when do you think the new series will be shown here?!
7x01 & 7x02 -- Built to Kill, Season Premiere
So that two parter MH was talking about? Yeah, it looks like this is it, although it also looks like they're going for "original" again and changing things up a bit with respect to the timeframe.
John Mayer guest stars (as John Mayer) and feh because I don't want to run through the halls of my high school nor scream at the top of my lungs.
Sam Braun is back. Unfortunately he won't have a rap session with Mr. Mayer, who would inform him that fathers should be good to their daugthers, that daughters will love like they do, and how girls become lovers who turn into mothers (Lindsey alert!) and that mothers should be good to their daughters, too.
Catherine dances with Nick and it's hinted that (shocker!) Warrick is gambling again. See, ::climbs on horse:: I don't get why people say the GSR will ruin the show, when it's all the other characters who ooze melodrama. You know if it were Sara's mother making appearences as a suspect time and time again, the anti-Sara's would freak out. Or if she started drinking again. Warrick and Catherine seem to be equipped with Get Out Of Jail Free cards in the Monopoly game that is reel life whereas if Grissom and Sara want to take a little vacation to, say, Park Place, there are ****ing hotels there and they have to mortgage off their property, etc. so they don't go to jail. Sigh. Where was I?
Oh, spoilers. Right.
It's out with the old and in with the new for Sam Braun. His first casino ever is being imploded in order to make way for his new casino, the Eureka. Alrighty, then. Let's name a casino after the thing nerds say when they finally solve that math proof they've been working on.
7x04 -- Fannysmackin', I am not making up that title
Once again, CSI sheds light on subjects that most of us were happy enough not knowing about. This time the world our favorite gang of forensic scientists is delving into involves beating the **** out of innocent people. For kicks.
A gang of idiot teenagers led by "Pig" (by name and by nature) is finding delight in targeting mostly tourists and going to town on them. A local dishwasher and husband and father of three dies in the teaser, and two tourists are left for dead as the episode goes on.
Oh, and there's Greg. Greg gets beat up. Remember what happened to Catherine in A Little Murder? Right, like that. Only a hug from Warrick ain't gonna make everything better. For all of you Greg lovers out there, this is his episode. He first shows up triumphant from his first appearance at court. Grissom is a little dismissive of him, but nothing new there. Grissom sends Greg out on the field and the former lab tech ends up saving the life of one of the beat up tourists. Greg puts himself in harm's way and keeps his cool about it when it's time for Sara to process him. They hold hands, but not in a sexy way. More of a "I'm sorry this **** had to happen to you" way. Like one of those hand squeezes you give when you're going to a wake and you hold the hand of the dead person's relative for a few seconds. Anyway, enough of that.
So, yeah, this is Greggo's very special episode. He has his Lifetime Moment of Truth and everything.
7x05 -- Double-Cross, The FCC might have a problem with this...
A women is found crucified in a church. Nuns find her. IIRC, the majority of CBS's audience is over the age of 50 and if Janet Jackson's boob caused such a commotion, I don't know how everyone will react to The Passion of the CSI. Remember, Katie Couric is starting their night off as of September 5th. Bloody crucifixions don't scream Katie Couric to me. Fluffy kittens, candy corn, and maybe hardcore S&M, but nothing as controversial as crucifixion. Well, enough of my qualms.
So the dead woman is Charlotte Sommerville (I don't know where they get these names. You have to work really hard to come up with names that innocuous), who seems a wee bit like a kept lady. The guy doing the keeping? Cody Baron (see? What kind of name is that?).
QUOTE
CODY BARON
I followed her. I knew where she was going. To Frank.
SOFIA
And when you got there, you crucified her in the rafters of the church.
CODY BARON
No, never, I'd never do that. I loved her, I loved her. She was leaving me, and I loved her.
SOFIA
You know how many guys I hear tell me they loved the women they killed? Too many.
Frank rhymes with paramedic and if I were still one of those people who looked for meaning in everything said on this show, my eyebrows would be far into my hairline.
There are nuns, too. One of them is funny. Anyone who knows me knows I love me some funny nuns. Especially nuns that are funny and sing. Bonus points if they FLY. (I love you, Sally Field!) Okay, so, like I said, the nuns find Charlotte hanging from the rafters, dressed in gold, looking like an angel.

SISTER ELIZABETH
Urine...
SISTER BRIDGET
I can't smell it...
SISTER ELIZABETH
Ever since Father's started leaving the church open at night...
SISTER BRIDGET
The church has gotten a lot more use...
SISTER ELIZABETH
As an orgy house and a toilet.
SISTER BRIDGET
No, people come into (sic) pray at all hours of the night...
SISTER ELIZABETH
Dear Jesus, keep me from blowing all my laundry money on the nickel slots at the Gas'N'Go...
Sister Elizabeth is JUST LIKE ME except for the whole chastity thing. We could be best friends if she, you know, existed in real life. I wonder if they'd be willing to change the age of her from 65 to 23 and I'd so hop a plane to L.A. and audition. They wouldn't have to pay me. I just want to say her lines.
So, yeah, funny nuns. I'm always wary of religion portrayed on television because it's usually done so feebly. Grissom always does get "deep" when he's dealing with religion with mixed results (Alter Boys? Good. Harvest? Baaad). That's something to look forward to.
Every Now And Then A Guy Needs A Good Spanking
Of the newly revealed relationship between Grissom and Sara, William Petersen says, “We knew there was shock value to it because of the little bits and moments that Sara and Grissom have had over the years. So to see them together that way would have impact in terms of, ‘Whoa, there they are!’” Jorja Fox enjoys the mystery of the relationship, saying, “It left so many more questions than it really answered. And I think we’re all going to figure that out as we go into this season. Billy and I aren’t necessarily that far ahead of the audience with this one.”
When asked if there would be kissing between Grissom and Sara, Petersen responded with a laugh, “I’d like to think we could. We’d love to kiss but the network would have to cough up some more money for that. Tongue would cost more. Sometimes they pay for things that are fun.”
Petersen reflected on Grissom’s relationship with Lady Heather, viewing her less as a soul mate and more as a “spanking partner.” According to Petersen, “Every now and then a guy needs a good spanking. Lady Heather could teach this country a lot. How to dress.” “Definitely how to dress,” Fox concurred.
Fox thinks it would be great if Lady Heather and Sara met because every time the show goes places that are sexual, Sara’s never there. “She’s at the car-wash murder across town. So it is a pet peeve of mine that these episodes get written and I’m miles away. And I wonder if that’s partially control on Grissom’s part, since he hands out the cases.” When asked what he was thinking when he chose to wear the aloha shirt in the Season 6 finale, Petersen addressed the history of the shirt. “I got it in the Philippines 10 years ago off a guy’s back. I traded him shirts in the jungle. For Grissom, it was something different. This is how he lets his hair down when he’s with someone he trusts.”
