Tonight’s episode Personal Foul was classic intense CSI. We had some interesting twists, but no finishing touches.
- Was I the only one that thought that Lindsay was going to get into the Killer Cab?
- Paula lost an awful lot of weight, amazingly, not to enjoy the rest of her life, but to get revenge. Crazy much? Discuss.
- What famous serial killer does the Cabbie Killer most resemble?
- How will they find the new suspect –John Doe? Another vague and loose dead-end?
- How much more of this recurring tale, with its first season origins, can Mac take?
- Mac now has to find Reed. Assuming they rescue him, how will the relationship dynamic change? This is heavy stuff.
- First Mac has the phone call with a victim’s widow. Now, Reed is taken. How much closer to this can he get?
Let’s hear what you thought of tonight’s episode!

CSI: New York Recap 4.19 - Personal Foul
Air Date: 7 May 2008
The Cabbie Killer leaves another victim.
Danny and Don are at a basketball game. A fan –Dugan Stipe- is selected to make a half-court shot to win $1,000,000. He makes his way to the floor, getting kissed by all the cheerleaders on the way. Seconds after he –amazingly- makes the shot, though, he collapses and dies. Danny and Don go down to the floor. Stipe’s face shows signs of poisoning. Something quick, though, since he looked fine less than a minute before he died.
The team finds that Stipe was a season ticket holder. Danny finds blood splattered on one of the seats in Stipe’s row.
Mac and Stella are on the scene of the cabbie killer’s latest body dumping. Mac notices the fountain had been emptied already. They find the cleaner, and take the yet-uncleaned
The victim had been poisoned with atropine (Nightshade), at a very potent dosage. No inhalation or punctures. He had consumed a considerable quantity of arena food and beer. He also displayed 12 lip prints on his face, from the cheerleaders. They determine which lip prints were the source of the atropine.

Episode 6.19 - Rock and a Hard Place
Air Date: May 5, 2008
A man and woman are racing on personal watercraft. As they taxi under a bridge, she turns to see his craft, but he’s missing. Horatio and the team talk to the woman –Mary Landis. Dark flakes in his hair indicate he must have been hit by something dropped on his head.
Jim Barber, the victim, was just released from prison. They find uniquely colored slate below the water, and the bridge top reveals some pills. The team IDs the pills as Y2K uppers, the last stock of of which were supposedly seized by the Feds, from Jim Barber. [Interesting.]
They investigate at the only nursery that sells that color slate –October Dusk. The only recent customer is — Alexx’s husband.

This is simply the funniest photo I’ve come across in quite a while!! As a person with three cats, there are times when they make my living room look like this and then lie down in the middle of it posed like road-kill. I just never thought to take a picture and think of it as a “crime scene.” LOL!! I love it!

What happens when two of the top shows on television today decide to trade writers for an episode? One is a half-hour comedy, one is an hour-long crime drama. Sounds like the perfect match to me! ;-)
CBS just published these videos showing us what went on behind the scenes when CSI Executive Producers, Naren Shankar & Carol Mendelsohn wrote an episode of Two & a Half Men & Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn of Two & a Half Men wrote an episode of CSI: Vegas.
In this first clip, the T&aHM writing team tackled writing an episode of CSI: Vegas. It will guest star Cybil Sheppard, so you know it’s going to be fun!! William Petersen gives us a great line, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.” I love it!
And here’s what happened when the CSI writers took on an episode of Two & a Half Men. There are some crazy-funny scenes in this clip alone. I love the quote, “I like mine gift-wrapped,” and “It looks like a Jackson Pollock painting!” If the episode is this good all the way through, it should be hysterical!
And here is a clip that takes us into the writers’ work room to see how they planned the episode and what they were thinking when they created the characters. And who knew a rubber chicken would be used that way…? ;-)

Ok, so maybe Gary Dourdan has had more than his share of bad press lately. And yes, it’s been reported that he’s leaving the CSI: Vegas cast at the end of this season. But let it be known that he is considered by many to be the sexiest TV CSI of all. In fact, TV Guide has voted him the Sexiest CSI on TV in its most recent “Sexiest” issue. In my opinion, he’s always been at the top of the list. I, for one, will miss those gorgeous green eyes each week….
Here were all the TV CSIs that were nominated:
SEXIEST CSI
- David Caruso, CSI: Miami
- Gary Dourdan, CSI — Winner
- George Eads, CSI
- William Petersen, CSI
- Adam Rodriguez, CSI: Miami
- Gary Sinise, CSI: NY
I’m still shocked that Hill Harper, Eddie Cahill and Carmine Giovinazzo were not on the list!! ;-)

This week’s CSI: Vegas was not only funny and fascinating, it also had some pretty “hot” special effects! But have you ever wanted to know how they filmed a guy lighting on fire and still moving as the fire is extinguished? Well, CBS knew that and created this very cool behind the scenes video to show us.
Paul Guilfoyle, who plays Captain Brass and William Petersen, better known in the show as Gil Grissom, fill us in on some of the details as they talk to Julie Chen on the Early Show. The stunt man who actually did get ignited tells us and shows us just how he does it…and survives! Who knew he had to put on frozen underwear and a fake head? Great stuff:
William Petersen, Paul Guilfoyle

This episode of CSI: Vegas was incredible! It’s hard to beat the fun packed into this hour –or 42 minutes. Do you agree?
- Are there not enough lawsuits involving Tasers?
- Why did they change “thiocyanate” to “thiocyte”? I’m mystified by this.
- What did you think about all that green blood? Is that feasible? Did they sufficiently justify the sulfur/drug idea?
- Did you just love the way they inserted (with no explanation) Adam & Jamie from Mythbusters into the lab when they were using Mythbuster-esque test tactics? How fun was that?
- How campy was this episode? Did you love it, as I did?
- Cyanide-sniffers?
- Killer ground squirrels?
- What are your thoughts about Grissom’s explanation of how everything was connected by String Theory? Any physics professors out there? We’d love to hear your opinions!!

Episode 8.15 - The Theory of Everything
Air Date: May 1, 2008
This episode was good CSI fair, with some interesting twists, stupid suspects, and some classic smart talk –both kinds. Grissom and the team investigate a case involving a deer that has been shot with an crossbolt, potentially liquored up, and dressed up for dancing on the town.
Brass: Okay, so you got a DUI, resisting arrest, several new and unique wildlife violations. You’re in a truckload of trouble, Kyle.
Kyle: I… I… I found her like that.
Brass: In a cocktail dress?
Kyle: [laughs] I didn’t put no dress on her. I was taking her to the vet.
Brass: Sure it wasn’t a nightclub?
After Brass and Stokes question Kyle about the deer, and give him a breathalizer test, Kyle bolts out the door and down the corridor. After an officer had already sprayed Kyle –to no avail- with pepper spray, Brass, Stokes, and an officer come out of an elevator. Brass gives the order to “light him up”, and the officer shoots Kyle with his Taser. The charge, though, ignites the suspect, enveloping him in flames, and killing him.

I just got word from my contact with the CBS store that they have some great new CSI: items available. For example, these two t-shirt designs are totally cool!
No self-respecting CSI: Fanatic would dare not have one of them. I’m rather partial to the x-ray with the knife t-shirt,
myself. But you can help educate your fellow non-CSI: Fanatics with the skull & definitions t-shirt. It has the definitions of entomology, toxicology & ballistics, among others.
But if you don’t wear t-shirts, you can surely find something to satisfy your inner CSI. I totally recommend that you go check out all the great things they have. And if you email me a photo of yourself with (or wearing) your new CSI items, I’ll post them here. It’ll be kinda like having our own gallery of CSI fans! ;-)
