CSI: is my favorite show...well, that and The Simpsons. If there isn't a thread on that, I might need to start one up...

Anyways, I came to this part of the site looking for a CSI thread because I just finished watching the finale... OHMYGOSH!!! Did anybody else see it? I had to tape it because I was out seeing Star Wars III the night it was on, but when I saw it today...

Well, I'll let everybody in on a little secret: I am absolutely terrified of ants. My fear is to the point where I get a physical reaction after seeing them. And if you've seen the finale...you might understand why I was such a wreck while watching it. In fact, I almost gagged...I was shaking and crying, but I made myself finish it!

I'm so proud of myself...

And I actually did enjoy the episode! Probably one of my favorite ones yet.

Oh yeah...my favorite characters are Warrick and Grissom, in case anybody was wondering. I forgot to add that in there, and I was going to edit my original post, but then I decided to make a new one in order to boost up my posting number.

I'm going to make it to 500, Phantom! Watch me!

Oh My GOD! CSI finale scared the Crap out of me! That's my biggest fear Ants & what happened to Nick Stokes (I'm not saying in case people havnt seen it yet) I was so scared!

I cried at the end of the finale, but I didn't really see the point to the very last scene before the credits? did anyone else?

I wonder what's going to happen to Nick in the next season. Something like this you don't just bounce back from.

What was the very last scene before the credits? (PM me if you don't want to post it here)

Nick goes to the jail house to see the daughter of the man that kidnaps him. I can't remember all that is said but it's very pointless

Yeah...I didn't really get the point to that scene. But it didn't really bother me...I guess you were supposed to get the fact that the girl was a horrible person. ::Shrugs:: I dunno, that's what I got out of it...

WOOT for awesome season premieres! First House, now CSI...this season is going to be a great one, I can tell. :D I can't wait to see what comes out of the whole accomplice thing...

But I have a question...whatever happened to the whole Grissom/Sarah thing? Did that just go flop, or what?

Did anybody else love the fact that Catherine was jealous that Warrick got married? ::Claps hands excitedly:: I actually squealed when she said that...

Ooo, here's one of my favorite lines from the episode:

Catherine: What kind of perverse game are you playing, Gil?

Grissom: I'm not a pervert!

:D Gotta love Gris... ::Huggles Gil::

Why So Silent

09-23-2005, 04:37 AM

HAhaha, Catherine and Gil so rock. Gil's the most awesomeestness. Yup.

And as for the spoiler, I SO SAW THAT COMING!!! Poor Cath! Warrick doesn't really seem like the marrying type.

Erik

09-23-2005, 04:56 AM

I squealed too! I was so happy!

By the way, who likes the new blonde, the detective? I don't, I'm an avid G/S (Grissom/Sarah) shipper.

KT, your favourite line was mine too! Yay! I love Grissom! He's awesome!

Why So Silent

09-23-2005, 05:13 AM

Hehe, the detective, Sophia, isn't new! She was on last season. too, doncha remember? Ecklie was SO annoying. I'm glad he didn't show up. I loath him so. ::grumbles::

::huggles her Gil:: I wuv GIL! I remember the first episode ever, he was talking to that chick and she was like: I wanted you to pin me up to a wall! And he was all: O_O

Erik

09-23-2005, 05:20 AM

lol, I remember that! Hollie: "Why don't you pin me on a wall and show me what you're made of?" Gil: "You can do that on a wall?!?"

And she isn't new I guess...I'm just saying, not old like Greg and Grissom. By the way, Grissom is pretty hot for 48 years old. Woot for healthy Grissom! Woot!

The Khanum

09-23-2005, 10:22 PM

::Joins in the wooting:: Goodness, I love my CSI...

William Petersen is a good looking dude in his prime. He is not "old"...he is 48 years young. And 48 isn't even that bad... Heck, Denzel Washington is 50, and look at him!

And no, Warrick doesn't seem like the marrying type (whoever said that...). My guess is the marriage won't last too awfully long, and then... ::Tries to do that eyebrow thing:: We'll see what happens.

Why So Silent

09-24-2005, 04:19 AM

I want a Catherine/Warrick episode! Like when they were in the sewers and Catherine fell back and they ALMOST kissed, and I was all: ANGST! So, there you go. And I personally don't like Grissom/Sarah ::protects sell from harmful pummeling from G/S shippers::

And ya-huh, William Petersen is so hot. ^_^ In a cool, entomologist science-y nerd guy sorta way. I love the way he flips his hat around when he's on the field :D

Masked Shadows

09-24-2005, 04:23 AM

Ok, this is really really bothering me. There was a SUPER funny line the new episode and I can't remember it and it's bothering me... nobody has said it yet though.

Erik

09-24-2005, 02:46 PM

Was it the pervert line that KT mentioned? That one was gooooood!

Lol. ::pummels Kat:: Waddaya mean you're not a G/S shipper? I was ready to attack Sophia when Gil asked her to dinner in the 5th season!

Also, WOOT for backwards-hat!Grissom. RAWR!

EDIT: YAY! New CSI tonight! In......2 hours, my time! Will post later!

EDIT AGAIN: Gah! Who else saw the new CSI last night? Wasn't it annoying that they said nothing about Walter Gordon like they did last week? I want to see what hapens! Wasn't sure if that was a spoiler-deserving comment, but I'm going on the safe side.

I've heard that tis season is going to be all about Grissom and why he is the way he is. Anyone else hear that? I hope it is, I love Grissom! ::huggles Grissom::

CATHERINE AND GIL 4 EVER!!!!! It is SOOOO obvious they love each other. AVID C/G SHIPPER!!!!!! Open your eyes, people. It's gonna happen... Gil loves her and she loves him. It's the only romance that is even remotely possible on CSI: Cath&Gil

Gil & Cath have a mature, loving, adult, long lasting, strong relationship... it's GOING to happen. They have been through hell and back together and have known and worked eith other for decades. NO ONE and nothing will come between them. They are best friends and just you wait... They have each others back and Marg&Billy want it to happen as well.

They are beautiful and powerful together: JACKPOT, INSIDE THE BOX, NIGHT AT THE MOVIES, RECIPIE FOR MURDER, DEAD RINGER...

CATH & GIL 4 EVER :cool: :tongue:

I watch CSI, but I'm more fond of NCIS.

I got to disagree with you, Pam. It is so Sarah+Gil. He sent her a plant! He and Catharine were talking about it! Gil+Cath are strictly friends! I'd really be surprised if her got involved with anyone at all, really. He's a thinker, and he doesn't think it's right.

Hehehe. I saw Grissom in a straw hat.

I was watching re-runs and I think that I like the look of old Nick better than new Nick. I think it has to do with the hair. What do you think? I was personaly ready for a protest when he shaved his head, it was not very cool. lol. But that's just me.

Cath&Gil are not strictly 'friends.' Of course they are friends. People who love each other romantically are friends at the root of their relationship- they are BEST FRIENDS.

In the episode you are trying to use for backing up your thought (BURDEN OF PROOF), you are forgetting that Gil invited Cath to his townhouse and cooked breakfast for her. A very romantic and loving and -yes- friendly thing for him to do. She advised him he needs to work on his people skills and she encouraged him to try and smooth things over for the sake of the lab- that the younger crew looked up to him as a father figure. So he sent her a plant? He would never have done that if Cath hadn't suggested it... He risked his life to protect Cath (GRISSOM VS THE VOLCANO) and confided his worst fear and turned to Cath in his deepest hour of need when he was having trouble with his otosclerosis (INSIDE THE BOX.)

Gil has asked Cath out many times and they have gone to the movies and dinner often. Sara was stupid enough to ask him out ONCE and he turned her down flat with no hesitation (PLAY WITH FIRE.)

Gil is twice as old as Sara and it is nasty to think some people think there is anything between them. *shiver* He is too old for her and he loves Cath. Gil doesn't want a butch young girl with a chip on her shoulder, he wants an intelligent and gorgeous woman- Cath.

Erik

10-26-2005, 12:34 AM

I never saw the ones you were taling about. But if I did I might have changed my mind....I will have to watch them.

And, by the way, that was just Sarah telling him that she cared, and it's not so easy just to ignore the victim....."You once told me that we were the victim's last voice"

I'm seeing a pattern. :D

Anywho...this is random, but Nick is starting to grow on me. No one will ever take the place of my beloved Gary Dourdan (Warrick, for all you ignorant foo's who didn't know that), but I used to not like Nick that much...and now I do. Not in a "oh-he's-so-sexy" way, just a... "Aww, he's so sweet!" sort of thing. Like, today on Spike was an episode about a boy who was killed during therapy, and Nick confided in Catherine that he had been sexually abused by his female babysitter.

I was all, "Oh, you poor sweet adorable thing! ...::LUFF!::"

Why So Silent

11-01-2005, 04:11 AM

Warric is smexysmexy indeed. My mom LOVES Nick. She was sad that he shaved his head T_T but I guess he did it after the mullet thing he had when he was filming Evel Knevel or whatever that TNT movie was called.

That was a cool movie.

I LUFF GIL! My mom and I are renting season 3, which is the season we didn't see, for some odd reason, and we're all: "...::LUFF!::" just like you, KT. I think I like Gil better without the beard...

The Khanum

11-01-2005, 04:16 AM

:eek: Gil? WITHOUT a beard? Say it ain't so...

I ::LUFF:: the beard.

And I gotta say...isn't Nick ever going to get any action? Gil has his random sexual tensions with random guest stars (has anybody else noticed that?), Sara and Greg seem to be getting a bit cozy, and obviously there's a Warrick/Catherine thing going on (which I luff). So...what does everybody have against Nick?

Ain't he ever gonna see the luff?

Why So Silent

11-01-2005, 04:27 AM

My mommy luffs Nick. He can have her, I bet my dad wouldn't mind >_>

Anywoozles, I LOVE Gil with a beard, I just also like him without one. Its sort of like two different Gils, know what I'm saying?

::blinks at a thought:: Has anyone ever read a GOOD CSI fic?

Erik

11-03-2005, 03:45 AM

No, but now I have to creat thousands. It's what I do in math.

Ah! I forgot about my beloved Greg! Him and Sarah would be awesome! i recall an early episode where Greg asks one of the guys, Gil, I think, "Do you think Sarah would ever go out with me?"(!!!!!!)

I am so writing a fic about that. And in one of the newer ones, 4X4, they both had to get decontaminated (in a shower) at the same time....t'was funny. Afterwords Grissom overheard:

Greg - "You know...when we were in the shower together, I didn't...see....anything...."

Sarah - "Really? Gosh, I saw everything!"

Then proceeded to look confused.

Bahahaha! Gotta love it!

::jaw drops:: Sexy beard Grissom is the best. Period.

Nick gets the loffin' from the dead prostitute. Did you not see that one? Well, not anymore obviously, because she's dead, but Poncho did have a coupl'a run-ins and one great night with her, if you know what I mean. ;)

Edit: WHo saw the new CSI two nights ago? 'Twas hilariouse! Nick had a moustache, and Warrick went "Hey! Moustache-boy!" Funny...

Anywho, have you heard the rumours? Apparently two CSI's are going to end up in bed together before this season ends. KT's rootingfor Warrick and Catherine, but I'm hopping either Greg (HEART) + Sarah or Grissom + Sarah.

I bet its Catherine and Warrick, On the first episode of the newest season (after Gravediggers ep) did you see how distraught Catherine was that Warrick had married

05-17-2006, 11:16 PM

I can't waite for CSI tomorrow night! They can't kill off Brass! Gris has a big decision to make and I think the whole Sara and Gil thing will be looked into more deeply in the next season. From what the T.V. guide says, September is going to deal with the season finale and have everything link into that.
I have all 5 seasons of CSI on dvd, so if you guys have any questions, feel free to drop me a line, and yes I do love CSI as much as I do the Phantom.

What would you guys think if Grissom had to solve one of the Phantoms Murders, and he was going up against Michael Crawfords' Phantom? I think that,that would make for a great show. Grissom verses The Phantom of the Opera. Who would win that brainy ac contest?

Just a thought. What do you guys think!

Oh! Oh, oh, oh. ::Crosses fingers:: I do hope so. Gary Dourdan and Marg Helgenberger even expressed a wish to have an intimate scene in an article somewhere; if you read some of their interviews together, you'll notice that they flirt a LOT a lot.

Anywho, I am such a Yobling shipper. ^__^ So schmexy, so adowable. Teh Sex! (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/zsazsa1/tehsex.gif) (Sorry, I'm going on a random Yobling search craze thing...bear with me for a bit.) Lookie, I found this quote from an episode in the fourth season:

CATHERINE: Want to go for a ride?
WARRICK: (nods) Probably safer than anything else I had planned. Yeah.

HAH! ::Hearts her CSI innuendo:: Aaaaand...zee Yobling video clips! More lophph! (http://yobling.tripod.com/Video.html) And zee wallpapers (http://perfect-nowhere.net/yobling/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=18)! And zee huggle-ness (http://perfect-nowhere.net/yobling/coppermine/albums/userpics/10001/yobling-marggary3.jpg)! And the general Yobling-ness (http://perfect-nowhere.net/yobling/yobling.php)!

...Okay, I'm done now. I swear.

(Almost.)

The shift began innocently enough with studly Warrick Brown and sultry Catherine Willows wading through a Las Vegas drainpipe to look for clues to a crime earlier this season. Then Catherine stumbled and fell into Warrick's waiting arms. For a fleeting, flirting moment, they seemed on the verge of something steamy in the sewer -until a passerby interrupted. "I felt that we had entered the zone of tenderness and exhilaration," recalls Helgenberger. Adds Dourdan, grinning; "It's always fun to work with a fine-*ss costar."

But a subtle shift is afoot and Catherine is leading the way. "Catherine needs to explore her sexuality and have some intimacy in her life," says Helgenberger, lounging in her trailer during a break in filming. "Carol has told me she can't see Catherine kissing just anyone. It has to be the right guy." Warrick may be the lucky fella. "There's a lot of tension between the characters, sexual and otherwise," Dourdan says. "Warrick has had ideas about her since their early days on the team. He's not blind, you know."

As it turns out, Dourdan and Helgenberger had a thing going long before the storm drain. "In the first season we talked about the chemistry between Marg and Gary," Mendelsohn says. "But then watching that moment when they fell into each other's arms -oh, my God! I couldn't believe it!"

"There is something between Catherine and Warrick that will come to head," Mendelsohn promises. "In May there will be an opportunity for them to get closer, when they are away from the office. But this time the person that wanted to (hook up) before may not be the one who wants to this time."

Dourdan, for one, is ready for action. "I'm excited to see what happens with them," he says. "I'd love to see that (sex) scene on the kitchen table. Or maybe on the desk. And then the breakroom. Not in the morgue, though."

And for those reasons and more, Warrick and Catherine will be the couple to get together. ...Okay, now I'm really done.

I don't get to see CSI as much as I like to, but it's such a great show. When I pass it on tv I can't change it because its so good! It's amazing how they are able to examine all the evidence and figure out exactly who committed each crime. Oh I love it!

I was also a partial G/LH Shipper. I was totally angry when i read the GSR spoiler and when the episode aired. I threw things at the television, I had hoped it wasn't true..but then I was crushed and really bummed out. lol.

I cant' waite for Thursday! I saw the sneak preview for the season premiere when I was watching the re-run to refresh everyone's memory, like we really need that!

From the preview it looks like Catherine and Nick are going to hook up and Catherine and Lindsey get into a car accident. They said they are going to focus mainlt on Catherine and Lidnesy and the cases are going to get stranger and strander. And Grissom finally shaved off his beard and Mustach!!!

Huggies,

I never miss an episode of the original CSI. I've watched every episode and catch reruns on the Spike channel.

I like Gary Sinise and hate David Caruso. I really don't care that much for the other two.

Grissom and Sarah?! Never!!!! I think it's sort of a mentor/student thing that Sarah has built up in her mind. Just watch early episodes in which she acts as if she's totally irresistible to men. With Catherine around--no way! I think Grissom feels sorry for her, and she's a fraction from being a Grissom-stalker! Watch her maneuver him into scenes such as that "pin me to the wall" bit. I think she had a crush on Grissom, but it's totally one-sided.

Now, Lady Heather... Sparks are a-flyin'! Gil is definitely attracted and intrigued. What about the powerhouse scene in which he stopped Heather from taking her revenge on the psycho experimenter who'd killed her daughter?

The blonde lady, whose name I can't recall now, also seems to be at Grissom's level. Another was the little lady, Meredith Eaton. I think they were strongly attracted to each other. (Hey! Meredith is a beautiful woman! Check her out in "Unconditional Love" with Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett. I love that movie!)

I'd loved to have seen Catherine's fantasy come true: Warwick! They would be a hot couple! Yes, I remember the almost-kiss. Darn!

My mom loves Gil/William Petersen, and I think he's a very attractive man.

Me? I like Greg, but I can't wait for the Archie (Archie Kao) scenes. He's adorable! Get Archie out of the office and into the field! *SIGH* Then, there's "Wick"--the delectable Gary Dourdan. *YUM* What a great voice he has!

Better go now before I meander on too long--except to say: I LOVE some of the guest stars, especially Mark Dacascos and Ian Somerhalder.

I used to LOVE CSI:, but this past season completely ruined it for me. I realize that there are, indeed, people who actually wanted to see Grissom and Sara together, but I am certainly not one of them. I find it insulting to Grissom's character that they would even think about saddling him with the highly-troubled - not to mention in his chain of command -Sara.

Although the early seasons will still be given my attention in reruns, and although I find William Petersen to be a brilliant actor and love him dearly, and absolutely adore Gary Dourdan, George Eads, and Marg Helgenberger, I will not be returning to this show in the fall. I feel that it's demeaning to the viewers that believe Sara and Grissom are NOT meant to be together to force this highly-unbelievable situation on us. I mean, come on. Grissom is a true professional. Making the decision to put him with Sara kind of ruins the reputation that the writers have been painting for him over the last few years.

And yes, I do believe that he and Lady Heather (despite her scandalous career) are much better suited to one another. At least they're mutually fascinated by one another. Yes, I know she's a glorified hooker. Yes, I know she's not exactly a lady. Yes, I know that that would be strange to put her with Gil, too. But it is MUCH more believable than Gil with Sara.

And this is the point where I stop complaining about Gil and Sara and talk about the other two series:

I love CSI: NY. I think that Melina Kanakaredes and Gary Sinise make a brilliant team, and I looooooove Carmine Giovinazzo and Eddie Cahill. I have yet to decide if I like Anna Belknap, but I do know I like her better than I liked Vanessa Ferlito. And Hill Harper's pretty awesome too.

I do not like CSI: Miami as much as I like the other two, although I do watch it occasionally. I think it's less popular with me because I am severely freaked out by David Caruso. I don't like his delivery of lines, his voice, or his face. He's just creepy.

And that, my dears, is my opinion.

12-06-2006, 12:37 AM

I was so happy when Gil and Sara got together, their relationship sorta makes me think of Erik and Christine, because Erik is so much older than Christine, and at first it was a mentor/teacher relationship, who ever thinks that gil feels sorry for her, watch this episode during season 4 called Butterflied:phanc1:

12-06-2006, 02:16 AM

Oh my gosh! I LOVE CSI! Everyday I try to watch the reruns that are on from like 6-9, but some I have already seen and some are just gross. My friends are get all mad everytime I rbing it up, though, because they are tired of me talking about it. My favorite character is Greg. Don't know why, it just is.

Personally, I was mad when Gil and Sara got together. I don't think they look good together at all! I think Gil and Catherine should get together and Sara and Greg should get together. She might also look good with Warrick or Nick, but not Gil. That's just my opinion though.

Please don't be angry with me if my opinions seem a bit strange. I am sort of a newer fan and I have just now(since the new season started) become truly intirested in the whole thing. I read some of your guys's posts and realised that I don't know half the people you are talking about! So please don't take them offensively or think of them as stupid or anything. You gotta cut me some slack, I'm a new fan!

Oh my gosh! I cannot wait for the new episode! The minature model killer dude is back! I can't wait! What about you guys? What do you think of the minature killer dude?

I am such a huge CSI fan! I might be the only CSI fan who hates CSI:Miami. No offense to anybody, but I always want to just punch the life out of Horatio Crane. lol. CSI Vegas, the original one, wins over any day. And of course, CSI:NY isn't too bad. But Miami gets to me. :p

05-05-2008, 05:35 AM

Ha! You're not the only CSI fan that hates CSI: Miami. Well, I don't exactly hate it, but it's really close. They focus less on the science and focus more on the bikini beach babes. :D Ha. Just kidding. Sort of. Horatio Cane bothers me in this role. He seems to have a problem keeping eye contact with people. It's really strange. He always has to look away or something and has those sunglasses of his. When he speaks, he has his hands to his hips or something like that and looking away at a 90 degree angle.

The original CSI rocks. Can't beat it.

tiannangel

05-06-2008, 11:40 AM

Yep. Agrees. Nothing beats the original.
Except I reckon Miami's not as bad as NY. It could be just the fact that I've watched more of one than the other, but I tended to find Miami was a lot easier for me to get into.

I like this show! I am really not sure which CSI I watch....my sister watches it, and I kinda just sit down and watch it with her. ;) But, I really don't care which one I watch. I don't really like "Herashio"....or whatever his name is. He's way to dramatic! But enjoy watching any kind of crime shows, really. :)

I only watch the original, because I cannot stand CSI: Miami or CSI: NY. I am not sure why this is, but I suppose I might figure it out in time. My favorite character is Grissom...or "The Bugman," as I like to call him. I cannot even believe some of the things that happened in the last two seasons!! Moreover, from what I have heard, this new season is supposed to be much more intense than the last two seasons. You should all be prepared for some rough times for the CSI team...just saying.

I'm sure I"m going to get pelted with tomatoes, most likely rotten, for this, but I'm not a big Grissom fan. Granted I like him MUCH better than Horatio from CSI: Miami. (I really want to make him eat those sunglasses when he pulls them off and on for dramatic moments)

I think my problem with Grissom is that he seems to embody too many of the stereotypes that we scientist get labeled with. Lax social skills, bizarre often macabre fascinations (esp a problem in Foreniscs-- you get worse looks for carrying around a book on autopsy than organic chemistry... trust me), air of superiority due to higher intellect that comes across as condescending to those around them, and the disconnect from reality in the heat of personal interests.

Now, that being said I like him more an more as time has gone on. Like most true scientist they grow on you like a fungus I guess. But in the beginning, and yes I have a very clear memory of the beginning *old person sigh* because it ruined the registration numbers for my college courses. I will be sad for him to go but am pumped for Fishburn. And I do find everyone adoration of Grissom heartening. Perhaps the day is approaching where pocket protectors will come back in style and the geek not the meek shall inherit the Earth..... well even if we don't inherit it... we'll call Slartibartfast and commission our own ;) (Five points to anyone who gets the reference.... they are only cool points but still worth the effort)

And that friends and neighbors is my most likely misplace tirade on the shiek and often misunderstood geek who doesn't need any more help being labelled. My Criminal Justice class didn't seem interested in hearing it so you guys get the full chorus with the bridge. ;)

*snatches points* Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! :) Just re-watched that the other day.

Don't worry, I left my tomahtoes in my other bag.

I do see your point in the stereotype thing. Grissom is the the stereotypical "nerd," though he was(seemingly out of character) kind of a ladies' man near the beginning of the series.

I do love some of his geekier quotes: "Someone can't just disappear. It's a molecular impossibility." When told someone was selling books to pay for their living cost: "Books? Why would anyone sell their books?" I love those.

My favorite character is Grissom, as well. It's too bad that he's leaving soon :( . But at least they picked Lawrence Fishburne (sp?) to come onto the show. I like his acting (especially as Morpheus from the Matrix. I'm anxious to see why Grissom leaves and how, but I'm also bummed about it. With Warrick and Sarah gone, the team is empty. With Grissom pretty much gone, that will be really... sad.

Agreed, and even more. I'm excited to see how the addition of Lawrence Fishburne (or Lawrence Fishface, as I call him) is going to play out. However, and I know this is going to sound babyish or weird, I wish there was some way to turn back time and change things so that Grissom changes his mind and chooses not to leave. I don't want Grissom to go! It was bad enough when Sara left and when Warrick died, but why Grissom? He makes the show, and without him, there is no CSI. :crying:

Yeah, it is too bad, but I think it's realistic. Grissom has been in CSI for a long time and in the past few episodes, his old age is showing. *sigh* Farewell, Grissom.

That episode introducing Fishburne's character was pretty good, so I'm expecting good things from that character so far.

True, his old age is beginning to show. Did you know he's already 55? My hopes for his "big farewell" are that they send him off with a bang. You know, something so we'll always remember our beloved Grissom. I think the way he told everyone he was leaving was pretty mediocre compared to some other events that have happened in the show. If they could just find some way to make sure no one ever forgets him - as well as all the wonderful things he brought to the show itself - then his departure would be all right...for the most part.

Also, I have a confession to make. I'm debating whether or not to keep watching CSI after Grissom leaves. On one hand, I want to find out whether Lawrence Fishburne/Dr. Langston is going to live up to the legend that is Grissom. However, on the other hand, CSI may not be as appealing to me if Grissom is not there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do!
