CSI: Vegas Episode 9.16 – “Turn, Turn, Turn” Spoiler & Press Release

Lynn — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 08:25:11 +0000

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]

Lynn — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:03:03 +0000

Episode 9.15 – Kill Me If You Can
Air Date: February 26, 2009

These are always interesting episodes, when they start with what seems to be three different cases, but later realize they are all connected. As far as I can tell, no show anywhere does this as well as CSI: Vegas. The team heads to separate crime scenes and ends up having to put their heads together to solve them all. I’m really looking forward to this one.

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!

William Petersen Honored With a Star on the Walk of Fame

Lynn — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:09:26 +0000

On Tuesday, William Petersen, aka Gil Grissom was honored with his own star on the Walk of Fame. For those of you who want to see it, it’s located in front of Musso’s & Franks Restaurant in Los Angeles.

And nearly all of his fellow CSI: Vegas co-stars were there to celebrate the occasion with him. I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.

Here are some cute photos of them at the event, including one where Petersen dusted the star for fingerprints! LOL!

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.10 – One to Go
Air Date: January 15, 2009

Here are a couple of video clips that CBS just released to get us ready to say goodbye to Gil Grissom on CSI: Vegas. I’m already getting sad about his departure. He’s always been the backbone of the show for me. But I am glad that they got a strong actor to join the cast as he leaves.

And here’s a tribute video for Grissom:

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.11 – The Grave Shift
Air Date: January 22, 2009

If you check the list of cast members, there’s a sad omission…William Petersen is no longer listed as a regular, starting with this episode. *sigh* I, for one, will miss him on the show. But on the bright side, I’ve been a fan of Laurence Fishburne for many years, so I’m thrilled that he’s a part of the cast now. I guess that change is always difficult…
