Last week, I was re-reading some of the articles in Issue 4 of The Official CSI Magazine. Since this is technically the June/July issue, it’s interesting to read some of the articles, especially the interview with Gary Dourdan. Reading what he said about Warrick, now that the character’s life sits in the heavily unbalanced balance, was almost eery.

In the beginning of June, especially after such a challenging round of season finales, Autumn feels like a long way off for CSI fans. So, if you haven’t read the issue, you should check it out at your local newsstand. In fact, you can get a great deal on subscriptions at the CSI Magazine website. They rotate the emphasis of each issue between the three shows, and this issue is dedicated to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Interesting Contents

• Gary Dourdan talks about Warrick and his struggle with demons, and as a Las Vegas native.
• A fascinating interview and writeup on Wallace Langham, who plays the overly brilliant, yet underly socially skilled Hodges.
• Girl, Interrupted is wonderful coverage on Sara Sidle, and the real-life Jorja Fox. Jorja is in demand, and everyone wants to know what she’s up to, since she left the show.
• Chief Medical Examiner Robbins (AKA Robert David Hall) talks about the “gross” anatomy involved in the original CSI.
• Writer Jen Anstruther takes a CSI for a Day adventure class. Her day spent learning how to find fingerprints, and collect other crime scene data, is a fascinating read. I must find one of these classes near home.

So, if you’re trying to figure out how to spend your summer vacation, you can always spend an afternoon chewing through Issue 4. Check it out.

Has anyone taken one of those “CSI for a Day” classes/seminars? What was it like?

The season finales for all three CSI series really left us hanging. Vegas left Warrick in his car, in the alley, and Undersheriff McKeen walking away. Miami left Horatio lying on an airport apron. His ex, his son, and Ryan all remain some distance away, perhaps, but all possibly, suspiciously linked to Horatio’s situation. Then, CSI: New York has Mac driving in a car with “Joe”, the apparent mastermind of some, as of yet, confusingly complicated crime.

No one’s talking much, yet, but some of the creative staff of the three shows spoke with TV Guide for this week’s issue. Lynn talked about Warrick, in a previous post.

Horatio

The news and rumors are flying about on Horatio, and what is going to happen to him. David Caruso quickly gave us a little relief in his video “interview”. So, we at least know that he’s doing this to go after Saris. The mechanism of his plan is definitely not apparent yet, though. Ryan and Julia may have both helped Horatio execute his execution.

Writer Corey Miller told TV Guide that “Ryan Wolfe may be playing both sides.” This isn’t incredibly clear. That implies that he’s helping Horatio and helping the “bad guys”, or, rather, that he’s just helping himself by making both sides think that he’s helping just them. It could very easily mean, though, that he “helped” the bad guys “kill” Horatio, but he’s really doing it to help Horatio look dead. Ryan has been down the dark side before, but Horatio helped him get his job back. So, this may be part of his enduring gratitude to Horatio.

Mac

Mac is stuck in a car, with some apparently incredibly intelligent criminal, who knows a lot about ballistics, has access to crazy new weapons technology, and is a great actor. Now, what the heck does “Joe” want, and where is he taking Mac? Executive producer Pam Veasey told TV Guide that “Joe” is “quite a worthy adversary for Mac and the team.” Apparently, the early part of the season will have the team playing a cat and mouse game with “Joe”. They’ll have to figure out where “on the eastern seaboard” Mac is.

Check out the latest issue of TV Guide for more from the writers and producers. Stay tuned. We’re going to keep digging for more information. If there’s GSR, we’ll find it.

What do you think is going to happen in all three Episode 1’s?

Here are some great highlights from the online article:

[Hugh Laurie from House jokes about how] he can meet CSI: Miami star David Caruso. “I’ll get points with my son Bill for that,” says the British star, who spent most of his time off in London playing the piano, walking his chocolate Lab, Stan, and watching Dog Whisperer.

Moments later, Laurie gets a trim while Caruso sits in the makeup chair. “This is curmudgeon corner,” cracks the redhead, who spent the strike break playing with his young son and doing promotion for his show in Tokyo. “It’s a blend of the super-futuristic and the ancient past there,” he says. “In one day I went to a Japanese tea ceremony and then bought an Andy Warhol action figure.”

That all being said, I also have some mildly bad news that the “copyright patrol” have cracked down on us here at b5media, so I’m not allowed to post any celebrities’ photos that I don’t have specific permission to publish. So all of you wonderful people who have generously sent me scans of the new cover of TV Guide and the articles inside, I truly thank you, but can’t use them myself, I can only link to them elsewhere. But I thank you all so much, and hope you’ll still keep me in the loop with things out there that you spot about the show. I appreciate you all so much!

Emily gets up every morning at 4:45 AM! For breakfast, she eats three scrambled eggs with jalapeños, mushrooms and onions. Actually, that sounds pretty good to me! Excuse me while I go scramble a couple of eggs with jalapeños…

Now in his sixth season as police department crime scene investigator Eric Delko on CSI: Miami, Adam Rodriguez is living the good life in Los Angeles, but the days when he struggled to make a buck are still very vivid in his memory. “I was a bellman at a hotel, I did construction, I delivered pizza and fried chicken,” he recalls. “The worst by far was cleaning toilets at Penn Station. The money was like $16 an hour, great at the time, but I did it one day and I quit.”

Rodriguez was on an uncertain career path, having ruled out several careers by choice or force. A high school athlete, he suffered a back injury that nixed his notion of baseball stardom. A career in the air force was crossed off the list by bad eyesight. Interested in business, he became a stockbroker trainee for a while, but realized it wasn’t what he wanted to do with his life.

He had taken some acting classes in high school, just for something to do, and rediscovered theater in community college. He kept working odd jobs to pay for acting classes until a lucky break in 1996—a one-line role as a cop on NYPD Blue, thanks to his father’s old military buddy who became a producer on the show. That led to a regular role—a cop again—on the series Brooklyn South, followed by Felicity, Resurrection Blvd., and Roswell. Rodriguez also had a featured part in Jennifer Lopez’s video for “If You Had My Love.” He was tapped to co-star after the two met at a party.

Toyin Awesu, Publisher/Editor-In-Chief of the magazine said:

“Having Hill Harper grace our cover this issue was a complete honor for the Avenue Report family,” “Hill is a man that exemplifies talent, charisma, character and above all a successful Black Man,”
