Happy Birthday, Rex!

Here are the very first episodic photos for the new season of CSI: Miami. In them, we see the entrance of the new regular cast member, Eddie Cibrian, some of what seem like flashback scenes and a photo of the entire team gathered around Eric Delko’s bedside as he lay in a coma.
The episode should be a very intense one, especially for fans of Adam Rodriguez. I don’t know about you, but I am so looking forward to finding out if Eric comes out of the coma…

As Delko’s (Adam Rodriguez, center) life hangs in the balance, Horatio (David Caruso, …read more

The episode’s primary crime takes off at a beach party, where the well-dressed scene is disrupted by a screaming man in flames. No one helps, but all manage to clear out of the flaming man’s way.

The man was not a guest at the party, and no one recognizes the man. Dr. …read more

Let’s discuss this season premiere episode! Here are a few thoughts I had when watching the show, but I hope you’ll join in with your thoughts too!

Was this resolved too fast? Was taking out Saris and Ortega, and removing all the fused alloy rounds all just a little too quick and easy? I know that Saris is technically at large, and will surface again, of course. Still, one episode to tie up so many problems in one big motion seems like a big deal, even for Horatio Caine.
Do you think it was really necessary for Horatio to fake his own …read more

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.01: Resurrection
Air Date: September 22, 2008
This episode answers the question in everyone’s mind with a resounding YES! Horatio Caine DOES, in fact, have an endless supply of those Silhouette Titanium Model 8568 sunglasses!
The show begins with Ryan at the scene of Horatio’s shooting, helping load the body into a vehicle. Calleigh and Eric arrive. They are upset, especially since Ryan said that he’d already released the body. Eric is suspicious of Ryan, but Calleigh quickly turns the focus to the list of Horatio’s obvious enemies.
