I have information for you about all three of the CSI series’ season finales. First of all, be very careful to note that the finale of CSI: NY has been moved…and to an unusual day for the series. Instead of the CSI: NY season finale airing on May 20 as was first reported, the finale has been moved to follow the season finale of CSI: Vegas on May 14. This is important for CSI: NY fans to note since it will air on a Thursday, not the usual Wednesday.

That being said, here is the rundown of spoilers for the three season finales:

CSI: Vegas - Episode 9.24 - All In
Air Date: May 14, 2009

Spoiler:
Det. Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne) has to use deadly force for the first time in his CSI career while investigating a series of murders tied to a scam involving poker chips from a dearly departed casino. Lost’s Cynthia Watros and Jericho’s Gerald McRaney guest star. Wallace Langham (Hodges) promises “no major changes to the team” — a relief to fans still grieving the loss of Grissom. And after two season-ending cliff-hangers in a row, fans won’t have to bite their nails all summer: “It actually is self-contained,” Langham adds, “a really good standalone episode.” [Source: TV Guide]

According to Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan, we’ll see some interesting returns and plot centers:

• In the season’s episode 5, dominatrix Lady Heather (Melinda Clarke, Reaper) will be back. Grissom will “spend the night”, apparently. They’re not saying what he’s doing over there, but they promise this will be the “most provocative” episode the Lady Heather has been in.
• Episode 7 will revolve around Natalie, the Miniature Killer.
• William Friedkin will return to direct the 200th episode.

These are very interesting developments, for sure. I’m sure we’re in for a great season.

CSI: Miami episode 7.01, now called Resurrection, is sure to be another nailbiter. With Horatio dead –or so they want us to believe- and the episode title floating around, we’re sure to start ripping into the who’s and what’s of what happened on the tarmac. [Okay, it's properly called the apron, and it's really made of asphalt-concrete. I don't know why we still call it tarmac. Tar-macadam hasn't been used for decades. Why do we do this only for airports, especially when we could just call it by what it is and does, rather than what it was made of a hundred years ago? Okay, so I kind of understand the historical why, but... Lest we digress...]

The CSI: Miami Season Six finale left us with Horatio on the ground, and a host of suspicious secondary –and one supporting- characters.

We do know that Horatio does not die. It is left to us, and the team –assuming they don’t know about it- to discover who shot Horatio. And who the heck is going to spout off those little one-liners? And what kind of sunglasses are they going to remove when they spout them? And are they going to make me scratch my head after I hear them, sometimes wondering why they were any different from, or added anything to, the statement that they are answering?

So, we’ll begin the next episode with the big, bad, apparent Caruso-fixtion. That’s the killing of David Caruso’s character that devotees know must lead to his resurrection, three months –not days- later. Read more

According to Matt Mitovich of TV Guide, the Season Nine of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation may be very different than any season that has come before. We’ve already heard that Jorja Fox’s Sara Sidle will be back for one episode, and that Gary Dourdan’s Warrick Brown will be going away, one way, or another, in that episode. (See previous CSI: Vegas spoiler and the other spoiler.)

With this second staff reduction, within the past year, other characters will be filling in to take up the slack. Wendy Simms (played by Liz Vassey) will take on more responsibility –on-screen, that is- and frequent “guest”, coroner David Phillips (played by David Berman), will become a series regular. Also, as previously reported, Mitovich affirms that Lauren Lee Smith will play Sara Sidle’s replacement, Bryce Adams.
