New series of CSI

[sheek]

hmmm well i quite enjoyed last nights, the cabbage however was less than impressed. I like the new format, i mean it had to change a bit or die, i am fairly sure that eventually they will go back to the format we are all used too.

Can i just say how cool is it that her brain fell out!!! Definately 8/10 for creative deaths last night Also i am fairly sure the guy who played the no brainer ladies husband was also "Steve" from Sex in the City


"the dead cant speak for themselves"

 

[g force]

I think they're just experimenting, it was okay but suffered from squeezing in too many deaths. The climbers, the security guard, the chainsaw dudes, the stabbing, the car crash...I was a bit...hurried.

But what happend to the rock star storyline from last week? I presume this and fall out from the death of Sam will be picked up later

Yeah i know what you mean too many stories and being too simplistic with each story for my liking.

I am assuming that rock stars death will be followed up on like some of the other cases and i quite like it when they do that, i am not keen on this all the loose ends are neatly sorted idea cos life aint like that.

Yes, im not sure i liked the whole "how'd you get here" morgue dialogues. shoddy.

HOWEVER, was anyone as impressed as i when at the beginning of csi miami, after the funeral shooting, Horatio puts on his sunnies and goes "Here we go"-opening credits. it was so cool!

Yep - semetimes his character really works, but generally I find David Caruso too grating. 50% of the one liners work...but there's just too many per episode that Miami becomes a bit of pantomime.

 

[ICB]

Didn't like the format in chapters or the silly ghosts and the production is getting way too stylised, LV heading towards Miami crapness.

Warren Ellis on that godawful Caruso:

This video — it’s on YouTube - is surreally compelling. David Caruso - the Carusobot, as we know him — hits every one of his last-line zingers with the same cadence. “What are you going to do, Carusobot?” “We-e-e…are going to find ourselves a bear rapist.” Crash in The Who, main titles.

But in almost all of them, he does the same action. “We-e-e…” …and he puts on his shades before doing the rest of the line. (Apparently, they’re referred to on set as “the sunglasses of justice”.)

And the video:

 

[fogbat]

Oh, and just to add - does anyone think it's a coincidence that the stupid, bullying, ginger kid on Everybody Hates Chris is called Caruso?

 

[g force]

No that was done on purpose. As in DC was a huge hit in S1 of NYPD Blue, then buggers off after a ridiculous pay demands to try and be a film actor only to fail miserably and be rescued by CSI

 

[May Kasahara]

Hmmm. The talking-corpse thing was quite amusing, but not one of their best episodes.

Miami, on the other hand, is pure pantomime. There are no grey areas at all - for example, all the women that Fellatio Caine does his Christ impersonation with are 100% saintly: usually poor, downtrodden, from an ethnic minority background, or all of the above. Even when connections are found between them and the black hat bad guys, it's always entirely coerced - he never meets and helps one of these women and then finds that she isn't quite the innocent angel he thought she was. Pure pants. (I still watched it though.)

Oh, the classic episode as an example of this was when Horatio was leading his team to bring down a gang who were trafficing young women for sex trade and what not... he had found the bad guys, shut them down: all that wa left ws to liberate these poor women.

He finally found them in some pitch black storage container...yep, just these containers filled with these poor (gorgeous) women. When he opens the doors, all the women are like squinting into the light..he is the Mesiah! he motions them forward and touches them lovingly and they all walk out into the Florida Sunshine.

Oh my god thats the most brilliant thing I've ever seen

I wasn't too sure about the dead bodies talking last night either, but I think Grissom managed to sort of make it relevant with his bit at the end.

Edit: this video caught my eye too

Definitely! No matter what episode of Miami I am half-heartedly watching, that one is always overlaid in my mind as the pinnacle of its own cheesy ambition.

I liked the CSI LV where Sara admitted to being in the mile-high club

Actually I pretty much like Sara anyway

 

[Madusa]
