TV Shows - CSI: Las Vegas IX

After a long break and some thoughts about CSI: Las Vegas, I have to say that writing about the series is not as enjoyable for me as with Dr. House. Right now, I'm watching "Built to Kill" S7E1&2, and my desk already has bite marks because there are just so many things that annoy me and I find crappy in interpersonal relationships. (You just shouldn't treat others like that, no matter what the writers' intentions were.)

In this season, we also have to slowly say goodbye to Warrick as he gets shot towards the end (the actor couldn't agree on a new contract with the studio). It's a shame, I personally think it's a big loss. This triggers a kind of weird fluctuation in the cast. I can still remember some, especially Elisabeth Shue, whom I don't really like, but I really enjoyed her in the CSI role.

I also thought it was cool that we almost see the entire second tier of Bones actors spread out over the previous CSI seasons.

Of course, Jason Segel's appearance in three episodes was also really good.

The double feature from Quentin Tarantino was also pretty good and I think, that after that, the show got some minor changes in tone, color and camera composition.

This list could go on, but my wrists are asking for an end. I don't know what's next, but I'll probably finish the rewatch without writing about it anymore. Let's see what topic I choose next, maybe I'll see if there's more to explore with Dr. House. Or I'll venture into entirely new territories. I just want to go with the flow, but for now, CSI: Las Vegas is over.

hello, hope ur well :) whats the meaning behind ur username, if ur alright with sharing?

hello! thank you, I hope you are well too!

no problem at all sharing, but it’s definitely not interesting. it’s related to CSI, which I used to be obsessed with. obsessed! like 2002-2008, that was my fandom.

I was just bored in class one day, and doodling about CSI, as you do lol. I meant to write down LV-MI-NY, for the three CSI cities, but I wrote down LA by mistake and then I decided that laminy looked like a cool username for something.

that’s it! I carry my CSI-related typo with me ☺️

csi前八季花了一个夏天看完了。lv貌似只有前八季。剩下的系列还有那么一大串。我也没心情看了。本来想在汤上记录我觉得有意思的剧集，结果我完全搞混乱了。

这电视剧学到了巨多知识，太棒了，构思个犯罪小说不愁没素材。

等到以后再看一遍。

Happy CSI: VEGAS premiere!

You know what i like about CSI:NY? Mac is clearly to the right, politically (evident by the Regan picture in his office), and also believes in God.

And he’s just a fairly normal guy. It’s not shown in either a negative or positive way, just normal. Like Mac isnt some caricature, I love it. His personal beliefs are not a big deal, but do influence him, but in like the normal way. And he still firmly believes in the science of things.

Of course Mac is played by Gary Sinise so, I mean, come on what isn’t to love about Mac?

Point is I love it on the rare occasions when shows actually show people like the normal fucking people that they are - normal, they have faults and issues but also good qualities.

I love Tim Speedle so much...

TV Show - CSI: Las Vegas IV

We did it! The middle of the second season brought the much talked about changes in the aspect ratio, and at the same time, although it was subtly hinted at the beginning of the season, the lab and the interrogation rooms also changed.

But before we can enjoy this new, wonderful, screen-filling view, we have to go through another tough battle. Because yes, I'm harping on it, but Catherine is really exhausting at the beginning of the second season.

So far, she hasn't been confirmed as supervisor, and she graciously declined the temporary takeover by Grissom. Yet she behaves constantly like a boss, always bringing up that she's not properly appreciated, and her interactions with colleagues are just impossible; that's just not teamwork, sorry. Yes, she's supposed to be portrayed as the strong woman, and I can understand a certain gruffness there, but I find her incredibly disrespectful when working with Nick, Greg, or Sara. They're her colleagues and teammates, what's up with that??

This brings us directly to another point that struck me in the first part of the second season, namely the treatment of Greg. The impetus for this came from a comment by Grissom when Greg dared to call Paul Millander clever in his eyes. You can do that, and yes, Grissom is particularly involved in this case, but that was kind of intense. It made me realize that Greg is being treated quite disrespectfully. After all, he's a crucial point in almost every investigation; let's remember how often Grissom is with him, gets some info, and leaves with the idea to solve the case. It's no different with the others, and yes, Greg can be difficult, but he simply doesn't deserve this treatment.

Now I've watched one episode in the new format, and it feels like they've changed quite a bit here. We've already mentioned the aspect ratio, and as a result, the camera shots of the city feel much more natural and fuller. But even with the individual characters, more is revealed or they are set in scene differently. There's more play with the composition of the individual shots, and it feels like the series has undergone a facelift. The aforementioned lab has also changed; it hasn't received the full glass setup yet, but the somewhat outdated look from the first season is gone. Now, they play even more with the light; through the glass fronts, some shots can be better executed, and characters are often accompanied by the camera when walking through the facility or from one lab to another.

Other actors also have one of their first appearances here, just like back then in Dr. House. So we see an even younger Jeremy Renner and a very young Amanda Righetti, who will later become a regular on The Mentalist. What becomes of Jeremy Renner should be known!

With Paul Millander, who pulled a pretty big rabbit out of his hat in his last episode, we've also dealt with one of the first episode-spanning villains. Tammy is still around, but I found that Paul was much more present, especially because he managed to establish himself as a judge.

Meanwhile, Grissom's hearing impairment has also become noticeable, which will manifest more frequently as the series progresses. I especially like the episode where he reveals that he knows sign language because I really like Deanne Bray. She's always a ray of sunshine when I see her in a series, and it's fun to watch her speak or gesture in sign language. I just saw that she's also in Heroes for a longer period (9 episodes). Luckily, this series is also still on my rewatch list.

Now that we're practically in full throttle, because Doc Robbins and Super Dave are fully on board, along with Archie, who used to sit behind the cameras at a university and now works in his role as Archie in the CSI, we can really get started. My brain is already being flooded with wild memories, and I'm more excited than ever that I started this rewatch.

And don't worry, I haven't forgotten that we've already had the pleasure of meeting the charming Lady Heather. But I'll save that for the next post because we know there's still a lot more to come.

Not sure what’s the story behind your username but in my head it’s LA-Miami-NY and these are three places very close to my heart and therefore I adore it! 🤍

actually, you’re almost quite right! the Miami and NY are spot on, and I meant for LA to be like LAs Vegas, because LV didn’t work as well.

(the reason? I picked it when I was young for something else, and I used to be so obsessed with CSI lord you can’t even imagine, ha — but please don’t let that affect your positive thoughts about it, lol, I love that you adore it and I also love that those three places are so close to your heart! 💛)
