CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.16 – Turn, Turn, Turn
Air Date: March 5, 2009

It looks like this week, hottie Gearge Eads will be the focus of the case. I think he is terrific and look forward to him being highlighted more in this episode. It’s featuring also guest star Taylor Swift in her acting debut. She’ll play the daughter of the proprietors of a seedy motel. Apparently, the place has been the scene of three murders over a period of only a year…

Spoiler:
The CSI renaissance continues. In addition to the mesmerizing gravitas that comes with every word uttered by Laurence Fishburne, there seems to be something newly energetic happening with the show’s scriptwriting as well.

Country songbird Taylor Swift, with the estimable (and totally freakin’ fine) George Eads, is guesting in an upcoming ep wherein the CSIs look into “three separate murder investigations that all took place at the same establishment over the course of a year.” Taylor plays the teenage daughter of the (Bates?) motel owner. Intriguing, no? (FYI, the Taylor Swift ep airs March 5 at 9 p.m. on CBS.)

It seems that perhaps the show that reinvented the procedural is now reinventing itself…Are you liking the current iteration of CSI? Post in the comments. [Source: EW]

Episode 9.14 – Miscarriage Of Justice
Air Date: February 19. 2009

Personally, I am a huge fan of Laurence Fishburne and have been for years. So it probably comes as no surprise to you that I like the fact that the Langston character is getting to be a part of every episode of CSI: Vegas these days. Fishburne is perfect for the part he’s playing and brings his own touch to the show. It looks like he’ll be pretty busy in this episode where new evidence causes the team to head back to the lab to reopen a case. I love it!
