Another recent guest on Hollywood 411 was CSI: Miami star Rex Linn, who plays Det. Tripp. He and Chris Harrison talk about their shared experiences of living in Oklahoma. Rex also gives some insight into his fellow cast member David Caruso and how they love working together, even though they are very different. He also discusses his western film that just came out on DVD, Appaloosa.

Here’s a very fun clip from Hollywood 411 where the stars of CSI: Miami celebrate 150 episodes of the series and then Eva LaRue, Jonathan Togo, Rex linn, David Caruso & Emily Procter tell what career paths they wanted to pursue before becoming actors and what they would be doing now if the show hadn’t been a success. I love it!

Episode 7.04 - Raging Cannibal
Air Date: October 13, 2008

A couple “exploring” in the Everglades are interrupted by what sounds like a panther. Suddenly, a man, bleeding fron his mouth, comes out of the brush. The woman calls 911.

As the man, lies dead, Horatio and Frank question the man who discovered the victim. The man says he is authorized to be in that restricted area, but his lady friend is not, “technically.” He appears to have brought her to the ‘Glades to “get technical.”

They identify the victim as Vincent Koslov. Price and Ryan inspect the Koslov’s bloodied abdomen. Price tells him that he must have been stabbed through to the stomach, leading to his spitting up blood. In autopsy, though, she finds his stomach and lungs were not pierced. A tattooed piece of flesh in the his stomach indicates he had another man’s blood on his face…he ate another man’s flesh. Horatio recognizes the stag design as a Russian mob tattoo, one that indicates he was “marked for death.” Who was the other victim, though.

CSI: Miami - Episode 7.03 - And How Does That Make You Kill?
Air Date: October 06, 2008

A man is talking to his psychiatrist, Dr. Marsh, telling her about his recurring dream. His words turn into a fantasy of sneaking into the doctor’s office, and killing her.

Horatio shows up at the scene where Dr. Marsh’s daughter Chelsea lies dead on the floor of Marsh’s office.

Horatio Opening Smart Aleck Comeback:

Dr. Marsh: You have to understand, Lieutenant. People tell me secrets all day. They have to know that I will keep them. I took an oath.
Horatio: So did I.

Delko struggles a bit upon entering the Marsh house, telling Calleigh that he saw Marsh professionally. He began seeing her…the department has a contract with her…after discovering that the staff psychiatrist office had been bugged.

Dr. Tara (the new M.E.) determines that she died of a single puncture wound, and had hit her head on the desk in the struggle. Liver temp indicates time of death between 1 AM and 4 AM. Delko finds blood on Marsh’s office sofa, nowhere near the body. Signs of a struggle include a broken decorative clock.

CSI: Miami - Episode 7.02 Won’t Get Fueled Again
Original Air Date: September 29, 2008

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. [Wouldn't want to get cinders on those white linen jackets. Plus, it's 2008! Sure the man is freaking out, but no one else has heard "stop, drop, and roll" millions of times in any given week?!?]

The man was not a guest at the party, and no one recognizes the man. Dr. Tara Price, the new Medical Examiner, works on the poor man, as Horatio comes over to introduce himself. She explains the man’s status. Besides being badly burned, he is covered with an accelerant.

Cue, pointless one-liner setup…

Horatio: What does the position tell you?
Tara: Pugilistic pose… body contorts to after being badly burnt. From the Latin pugil, meaning “fights with fists”.
Horatio: A fight… to the death.

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 death to accomplish his goal? It just seems a little extreme to me.
• The sentiment among the criminals was that they would have a heyday, with Horatio dead. It seems to me taht the rest of the the team would be able to step up and keep crime under control, after all, Horatio did lead them for so long that surely they learned from him, right?
• Is it just me, or is that Jake character a bit sketchy? I’m not totally sure I trust him at all. Calleigh could do much better…like Delko!
• I’m no ballistics expert, but if the boat blew up, wouldn’t all those bullets start to go off in every direction? It wouldn’t be just one explosion, but a big one, followed by thousands of little ones when the bullets went off…?

Overall, though I really enjoyed the episode. I liked that they left things open for Calleigh and Delko to get together.

What did you think of this episode? Leave a comment and let’s discuss!

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.
