Last night, we saw the third part of the all-CSI crossover trilogy. I was so excited to see Laurence Fishburne on all three CSI series, and I knew the story would be gripping. I was not disappointed about either. But I felt just a bit like the three parts were a bit too different. Is it just me?

I get it that the same group was taking girls and forcing them into prostitution and when they refused to cooperate they would dismember them and dump them. And I get it that the girls were being trafficked all across the nation by crazy truckers. And I get that pimps in Las Vegas were fighting over turf and would hijack each other’s girls. But it just seemed a bit like each of the series’ portions of the story were too disjointed from the others. Maybe that’s just me…?

I loved Langston getting to work with both Horatio and Mac. And I loved the idea of a series of crimes that moved from city to city. But it seemed to me like the M.O. of the crimes changed too drastically with each city.

I could be completely wrong about it. I would love to hear your input about the three episodes. Do you think they tied together smoothly enough? Did you think the differences in the crimes on each of the segments was necessary or clear enough? I would love to get your opinions and hear what other CSI fans have to say. Please leave a comment and let’s discuss!

Press Release:
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CSI HISTORY, ONE CHARACTER WILL APPEAR IN ALL THREE SERIES FOR A THREE PART CROSSOVER TRILOGY. CSI DR. RAY LANGSTON FOLLOWS THE EVIDENCE ON A CASE TO MIAMI, NEW YORK AND BACK TO LAS VEGAS

Laurence Fishburne Guest Stars in “CSI: Miami” and “CSI: NY,” and Wraps Up the Case at Home in Las Vegas on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

[Source: CBS.com]

Spoiler:
When a severed leg is discovered in the Everglades belonging to a girl who went missing from Las Vegas a week earlier, Horatio Caine (David Caruso) sends for Dr. Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne).This launches a crossover that begins on “CSI: Miami,” moves to “CSI: NY” and finishes up in Las Vegas on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” making it the first time a “CSI” crossover has involved all three shows in the franchise.

“Everyone stays true to their writing style,” “CSI: NY” exec producer Pam Veasey tells ET. “What you fundamentally do is tell a ‘CSI’ story, which is what we all have in common. Once it gets to your show, you will see each of the show’s take a different approach to a story that starts in Miami. We did all get together and talk about what the through-line would be. Obviously, Ray Langston travels through all of the shows. You have to find the consistencies with his character, how he would flow into each story.”

Following Miami, Langston rushes to New York when Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) and his team identify a woman hidden in a big rig as someone Langston interviewed in Miami. Then the woman disappears and Taylor and Langston realize that they have uncovered an interstate trucking ring specializing in human cargo and black-market organ harvesting.

“The story is really a ticking clock story,” adds “CSI: NY” executive producer Peter Lenkov. “It is really a hunt for a suspect, but also saving a girl’s life. I think we put blinders on to get that done by the end of the episode. This [case] takes priority because it is real triage the way it lands in our lap. We realize soon after that time is of the essence. We elected in that episode to make it our sole focus.”

The search finally takes Langston back to Las Vegas, where the investigation leads to a prostitution ring that may be harboring the missing woman.
“They are all great episodes that blend together and lead you to the next,” Pam concludes.

The “CSI” crossover begins on “CSI: Miami” on Monday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m., moves to “CSI: NY” Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10 p.m., and wraps up on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” Thursday, Nov. 12 at 9 p.m. all on CBS. [Source: ET Online]

Spoiler:
CBS is planning a “CSI” extravaganza for November sweeps — star Laurence Fishburne (Dr. Raymond Langston) will appear in all three scene-of-the-crime shows in one week, and the whole thing wraps up on the flagship “CSI” on Nov. 12. Mild spoilers about the episodes follow.

Langston will first visit “CSI: Miami” on Nov. 9; he travels south in an episode titled “Bone Voyage” to investigate a case with ties to Las Vegas. Fishburne and “CSI: Miami” star David Caruso are pictured at left; perhaps Langston and Horatio Caine are talking about cool sunglasses, which Langston is still sporting when he arrives in New York on Nov. 11

In that “CSI: NY” episode, “Hammer Down,” according to CBS, “a big-rig accident results in the discovery of an interstate trucking ring that specializes in human cargo and black-market organ harvesting, and sets off a race against time to save a hostage.”

The three-part crossover concludes on Nov. 12 on “CSI.” In that episode, viewers will learn more about what Langston is investigating: “a nationwide human trafficking network that abducts young girls forces them into prostitution,” according to David Weddle, who penned the episode with his writing partner, Bradley Thompson.

Ubiquitious guest star Mark Sheppard, who played Romo Lampkin on “Battlestar Galactica” (a character who knew a thing or two about shades), has a guest role in that Nov. 12 “CSI” episode. Sheppard, who has a credit list as long as your arm and apparently by law must appear on every scripted show in existence, also appears on USA’s new show “White Collar” Oct. 23 and “Supernatural” on Nov. 19.

• The season 10 premiere of CSI: Vegas began with an amazing…I mean AMAZING 3-D look through the entire lab and lot outside where a huge incident was taking place. We see shards of glass and blood droplets in mid air, along with bullets frozen in their trajectories. Dr. Robbins was using his crutch to take out a gunman and Langston was in mid-kick sending a gunman backward through a window. It was incredible. I’ll try to get you a clip of it.
• 48 HOURS EARLIER: Stokes is studying a book about caring for arachnids while a large tarantula crawls through an aquarium. I guess he’s going to take over the bug thing where Grissom left off.
• Catherine told someone on the phone about Riley leaving them with 100 open cases. And Langston got promoted to CSI Level 2.
• The team is called to the scene of an auto accident where a popular actress is dead. The other driver still had a pulse and the evidence shoed that he had kept his foot on the gas pedal after the crash. She had been stopped when he hit her.
• Catherine assigned Greg Sanders to go to a fleabag motel to check out a dead body. He protests because he thinks he should be able to stay and wants someone with less seniority to go. He loses his argument.
• A young man was in Brass’ office where he is questioned about the starlet being on the road at 4 am. He tells Brass that she had been on her way to the set of a movie she was working on. He’s her significant other and his father owns a casino.
• At the motel, Sanders finds the man’s body. He was robbed and had been dead for at least two days. He finds some fibers between two teeth in a dental partial.
• Dr. Robbins tells Catherine that the starlet had been 8 weeks pregnant. We see that he has a ghoulish hobby of collecting photos of dead people’s faces.
• At the hospital, the doctor tells Langston that the drunk managed to survive the crash, but with a broken C2 vertebra. He had had blood alcohol level of 1.8 and GHB in his system. Stokes finds a small vial of something in the man’s duffel bag and they take it to analyze it.
• When they look further in his possessions, he has a scrapbook full of pictures of the starlet he killed, along with duct tape, rope a hunting knife and a teddy bear. He had been stalking her.
• The guy had hacked into the film production company’s computer and had all the info from the actress’s call sheet, so he knew where she would be.
• Langston thought the guy wanted to kidnap her, but not kill her yet. Stokes thought he wanted to kill her with the accident. Just then, Brass found out that the driver had regained consciousness and he went to talk to him.
• The guy knew he had killed her but wasn’t making much sense otherwise.
• Langston & Stokes studied some security tapes near the crash scene for clues. They figured out that someone overrode the traffic signal to make her have to stop.
• When the boyfriend went to the morgue to view the actress’ body, he almost showed no emotion at all. Was he in shock?
• They didn’t find an “emitter” in the man’s car, but knew one had to have been used to stop her at the light. The one that had been used was an illegal one, without an identifier, so it hadn’t been one of the police, fire or ambulance ones.
• Langston went to the hospital to check out the driver and found bruises from a seatbelt on the passenger side. He hadn’t been driving after all. They figure that the real killer hit her, pulled the unconscious man to the driver’s seat and broke his neck.
• Just when Catherine was getting read the riot act about information leaked to the press, Sara Sidle walks in. She married Grissom and while he’s lecturing at the Sorbonne, she came to help out temporarily.
• Catherine read riley’s exit interview where she basically trashed Catherine as a leader. Then, when looking over the bad press on the case, she finds an article about the boyfriend having other women sue him for paternity.
• Langston & Stokes go to the hotel where the guy in the hospital had stayed and paid cash. The surveillance video showed him being taken from the bar by the boyfriend’s security man.
• Brass took the security guy to talk to him while Catherine asked the boyfriend about the reason he hadn’t been with her that morning. He took an engagement ring from his pocket and told her he was going to give it to her, but hadn’t had the chance.
• The security guy told Brass that he had talked to the stalker to get him to go away, but Langston did some homework on the guy and found that he raced cars. He searched the guy’s room and found a crash helmet, with white powder on it. He suspected it was airbag dust from the crash. The guy asked for a lawyer.
• The dust was confirmed to be airbag talc. Catherine confided in Sara about the exit interview. Sara suggested that Catherine make someone the second in charge to help her.
• Just then, men with dark sunglasses, black suits and white shirts burst into the morgue. The bodies were all pulled out and things were in total disarray. They carried out a body in a body bag. Dr. Robbins tried to stop them and the bullets started to fly. Two of the men got into a large panel truck with the body and fired at Stokes and Sara as they drove away.
• Two people from the lab were injured, but stable. They seemed to be Russian mobsters and instead of taking the actress’ body as people expected, they took the body of the bum that Sanders had been investigating. The bum’s DNA came back and he was the actress’ father.
• Nick & Sara arrived at a scene where the father had been put through a wood chipper. They found out that the man had been a diagnosed schizophrenic and the actress had been taking care of him as well as she could.
• The boyfriend’s father had hired the security guy to breakup the actress and the boyfriend. When the security guy went to talk to the father, they struggle and he kills the father. So now the only thing he can do to fix things is to kill the actress too.
• They know they have to find a way to connect the security guy to both murders. The father had bitten the man’s sleeve and swallowed his cufflink. They sifted through the remains to find it. He was arrested for killing the father, but they couldn’t connect him to the actress.
• Catherine called Nick Stokes to her office and promoted him to Assistant Supervisor on the Graveyard Shift. Then she handed him a pile of folders to go through for her.
• The episode ended with Langston going to visit Robbins in the morgue. Robbins is doing an autopsy and when he opens the abdomen, they are both shocked and puzzled. We don’t get to see what it is. I guess we have to wait for next week.

Discussion Points:

1. Were you disappointed at how little Sara was involved this week?
2. Did I miss something? Why were the men in black that broke in to the morgue to steal the man’s body from the Russian mob? I didn’t see how they were ever connected that way, did you?
3. What are your thoughts about Riley leaving in such a negative way?
4. What are your thoughts about Grissom & Sara being married now?
5. Did you notice that Hodges was intent on protecting Wendy? I wonder how long he’s going to have a crush on her before letting her know…
6. Did you like this episode? What did you like/dislike most about it?

Episode 6.01: Epilogue
Air Date: September 23, 2009

[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2009 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved]

• The season 6 season premiere of CSI: NY began with a review of the final scene in season 5. The CSIs were having a toast to Jessica Angell, who had been killed. Just then, a car drove by and sent a shower of machine gun bullets through the group as they all hit the floor.
• A month later, we see Mac in the office, going over evidence, Flack with a pretty new girl and Stella getting dressed while an undressed Adam watches from the bed. [Wow! I didn’t see that coming!]
• Mac gets a phone call and joins Danny (in a wheelchair) at a dark room with very large crystal chandeliers. Soon, a woman joins them. She tells them that her brother is just a scared kid caught up with two others in something. They try to get her to tell them what she knows.
• Just then, the elevator doors open and a man in the shadows fires a machine gun at them. They all hit the floor. Danny pulls himself to help the injured woman as Mac goes after the gunman. She dies before she can tell them anything. The gunman gets away.
• When Stella & Hawkes show up at the scene, Danny fills them in. the only thing they learned from the woman was a name…Jake.
• Flack shows up, just back from a leave of absence and says he’s going to help. He and Mac go over security camera footage…no camera in the elevator.
• At the crime scene, Danny flashes back to the night of the bar shooting. Lindsay reminds him that there’s no permanent damage to his spine. He may regain the use of his legs eventually. He’s not so optimistic.
• At the office, Stella scolds Mac for taking Danny and going without backup to talk to the woman. He quotes Shakespeare: “Tempt not a desperate man.”
• Another phone call and Mac tells Stella that it’s happened again.
• The team arrives at the scene where a car drove past a large group of people waiting to get into a club. A car had driven by and fired a machine gun at the crowd. Everyone looks up at a large lighted billboard that reads, “Do we have your attention? Pay us and we’ll stop.”
• A reporter at the scene had tipped them to another similar shooting at a closed restaurant two weeks before. The team goes over everything so far and determines that the shootings are not targeting cops, not with the intent to kill because there had only been one fatality and one of the locations was closed. They want to scare people.
• Just then, a clean-up crime scene technician tells the CSIs that she found an unreported bloody fingerprint on the ceiling of the elevator at the crime office building. Adam gets defensive because he says that he checked everything.
• They realize that Mac must have injured the gunman and that now they may have DNA to identify him.
• Haylen, the cleanup tech tells Adam that she wants to work in the lab and he tells her that the job she’s after is his, so he won’t help her.
• Sid pulled a piece of tempered glass from the woman’s shoulder that Hawkes examined and found that it put her in the bar, the night of the shooting when they were all there.
• Flack shows Stella the body of the missing security guard from the night in the office building. They look at the blood trail to see that the killer tracked the guard there and killed him. The killer was also wounded and took the guard’s sleeve to bandage the wound.
• At the lab, they determine that the woman had worked in the building, so they got copies of the voicemail greetings to compare to the tip line for identification.
• The blood from the elevator matched the blood on the front of the dead guard’s shirt and Hawkes’ investigation told them that the guard had stabbed the killer with the same knife that killed him. They had an identification of the killer.
• The voice recognition software helped them identify the woman as Risa Calaveras. That means that her brother must be Jake Calaveras.
• Stella tells Mac that the shooter was dumped at the hospital and died soon after. They decide to study the hospital security camera footage. They got a license plate number and a suspect’s identity.
• They show up at the suspect’s apartment in time to see Jake Calaveras pointing a gun at him for killing his sister. They tell him that he shouldn’t shoot him and they will take care of him. Jake tells them it’s too late and shoots the other man. They take him into custody.
• In the interrogation room, Jake explained to Mac that the other two had wanted to get the city to “work for them.” He said that Risa had talked him out of going with them the night of the bar shooting. He didn’t know she had been there to try to stop him.
• Adam caught up to Stella in the office to talk about the night they were together. She blurted out that it had been wonderful and stupid and memorable and something they should never do again. He acted relived and agreed with her.
• The episode ended with Stella helping Mac pack up the case files, Lindsay holding her baby and Danny in the wheelchair trying to move his legs. Suddenly, one of his feet barely moved. He looked up and smiled.

Discussion Points:

1. What do you think of the hookup between Stella & Adam? Did you see it coming?
2. I really liked how supportive and optimistic Lindsay was about Danny’s injury. What are your thoughts about them?
3. What was your opinion of this episode? Was it a satisfying result after the shooting and the cliffhanger?
4. Do you like the new character, Haylen?

CSI: Miami – Episode 8.01 – Out of Time
Air Date: September 21, 2009

[Photo: © 2009 CBS Broadcasting, all rights reserved]

• 2009: The season 8 premiere of CSI: Miami begins with the team, dogs and other officers in an all-out search of the Everglades for Eric Delko. Meanwhile, Delko stumbles, blood-covered, through the swamp on foot.
• After he collapses and they find him, he flat-lines in the ambulance. The flashback begins.
• 1997: Eric Delko is driving a wrecker-truck through the Everglades in search of salvage. He finds a submerged car and pulls it out of the swamp. Blood is dripping from the trunk. He finds a dead body in the trunk and calls for the homicide team.
• Horatio shows up and Delko reminds him to get a pair of sunglasses.
• 2009: Alexx Woods is in the hospital and says she’ll oversee his treatment.
• 1997: Horatio explains lividity to Delko, then goes to notify the husband of the woman’s death. The guy is nervous, doesn’t have an alibi, says he pawned the gun and there’s a smell of bleach in the house. Horatio’s partner seems quick to judge the husband, but Horatio wants to wait for the evidence before arresting him.
• Alexx is doing the wife’s autopsy and gives Horatio the 9 mm bullet she extracted from the head. The bullet matches the ammo found in the home. There’s also blunt-force trauma to the head.
• We see Calleigh in the precinct and Jesse Cardoza rescues her from some jerks that were hitting on her. He shows her to the lab and tells her that it’s his last day there. He leaves her there and goes to Horatio to find out how he can help on the case.
• Jesse gets to the home and finds that the place has been wiped down with bleach, but when he takes off a baseboard, he finds blood.
• Back at the precinct, Calleigh questions her new boss’ interpretation of the bullet evidence. Horatio tells her she did the right thing.
• We then see Det. Tripp with hair…not a full head of hair, but at least there’s still some. Horatio asks him about any domestic violence calls for the couple. Tripp says that they were just yelling at each other, no violence. But he told Horatio that he did arrest a peeping Tom in the area and gave him the info. The creep was a landscaper.
• When they bring in the landscaper, he seems guilty, but Horatio’s partner lets him go. He still thinks it’s the husband.
• Calleigh, who has been asked to help with the case, joins Horatio in the parking lot. Before they leave, Delko tries to get her phone number. She tells him she would never date anyone “remotely connected with work.”
• Calleigh & Horatio determine that the car was wrecked before it was pushed into the swamp. Jesse found blood spatter and a blood pool, consistent with blunt force trauma before being shot. Alexx found evidence of sexual assault on the wife’s body. But it was the kind of evidence that happens when the body was desecrated after it was dead.
• Horatio and Calleigh found no evidence that the husband was in the car when it crashed but that the landscaper definitely was there.
• Meanwhile Horatio’s partner has already been to the DA to get an arrest warrant for the husband.
• 2009: Horatio sits at Delko’s bedside and asks him to hold on. He tells him that he’s not ready for him to go yet.
• 1997: Delko & Horatio go back to the swamp where the car was found. They find trace from the car on the guardrail and footprints that suggest that something was thrown into the water. Delko fishes around in the water near a storm drainage pipe and finds a 9 mm gun.
• Jesse & Cardoza go to the house and determine that the air conditioner carried small drops of blood back at the killer and the window behind him. They examine the landscaper and find a small amount of blood in one nostril. They can prove he was in the house and fired the gun.
• Horatio found out that he needed to get a special new kind of DNA test that can determine DNA from only a few cells. The lab tech that does the test is Natalia Boa Vista. The blood from the nostril matches the victim. The landscaper is charged with first-degree murder, the husband is set free, charges dropped against him.
• As Jesse Cardoza leaves with his box of belongings, he congratulates Horatio for being named the head of the new CSI division. Jesse suggests that Horatio call Speedle for his new team.
• Just then, Delko shows up and gives Horatio a new pair of sunglasses. Horatio tells him that he has a great eye for detail and that he should go to the police academy and then look up Horatio.
• 2009: The entire team waits by Delko’s bedside as he gradually wakes up from the coma and smiles at Horatio.

Discussion Points:

1. Was it a satisfying explanation for how the team started?
2. Do you like the new character, Jesse Cardoza?
3. Is it just me, or is it significant that Delko looked at Horatio, but not at Calleigh as he woke up?
4. Also, did it look like the scenes from 2009 seemed like they were shot before David Caruso got a facelift and the flashback scenes afterward?
5. What did you think of the bubbly, vivacious Calleigh vs. the all-business, tough as nails Calleigh of today?

I’m thrilled to bring you the very first episodic photos for CSI: NY’s 6th season. We see the newest cast member for the show and see most of the old regulars. The caption tells us that there will be one person’s life that will change forever. I’ve heard the rumors about that too but will only confirm once I know the true situation.

But the good news is that it’s clear that Mac, Stella, Hawkes, Adam and Lindsay have all survived the shooting. But what about Sid, Danny & Flack….? Here’s the description and name for the new character:

Sarah Carter (“Shark”) Joins the Cast as Haylen Becall, a Forensic School Graduate Who Works As a Crime Scene Clean Up Technician and Has Aspirations of Being a CSI
