The List
Yeah, yeah, I know I need to write up all the details to last weekend but I came back and work has been a bitch (no surprise), Caps game last night, Caps game tomorrow night, and I have to drive up to Philly at a time that I don't believe is allowed on a weekend. Plus, it's daylight savings this weekend and losing that hour always puts me in a crappy mood. I will say though that I was so looking forward to tonight's CSI episode because I get to see Paul and it brought back all the awesomeness that was Sunday night.
So the original name of this episode was "The F-List". The previews pretty much give away what the F stood for.
Ex cop gets shanked with a shiv in prison. Brass exposits (I've missed him doing this) to Ray and Nick. Ray is wearing his shades while he is at the prison because a) prison is dark and he needs to blend, b) he's going to go all Morpheus on their asses c) they add to his "menacing" look. When Ray starts to get all tough and yell at the prisoners, Jim looks amused.
Brass knew the dead cop and the dead cop's dead wife. Brass was the dead wife's TO. I see a connection.
I love how Ray is telling Nick how to approach the footprints in the blood. Who does he think he is, Grissom? Not hardly. Grissom would have taken off his sunglasses inside. Grissom isn't a douche.
In the course of going through dead cop's cell, Nick discovers a notebook with "the list". He also discovers a motion for a new trial because cop's dead wife had a relationship with most of LVPD. There are some names going back to S1 of CSI. Impressive. And just as Nick focuses on one name in particular, Brass comes to stand in the door of the cell and asks if he's found anything interesting. Um, yeah. Nick freezes like an armadillo in the headlights (actually, they jump up and tend to get smacked by the front bumper). Oh, hai potential suspect. Even worse, potential suspect obviously was hot for dead wife. I think the best indication was when he's looking at a pic of the dead wife and says, "Wow, she's sexy". Btw, hand holding the picture is not PG's.
Nick tells Catherine about the list.
He says Ecklie and Catherine laughs and says, "good for him". Nick says Brass and Catherine says "Jim used to be a player back in the day. Kinda had that Jersey, Jack Nicholson thing." So, contrary to what some of the fan fic writers out there think, Jim does indeed date women. Frequently. This might explain why he doesn't have a girlfriend. He has girlfriends. Go, Jim!
I think Nick mentions every detective we've ever seen on CSI. Of course Vartann is also on the list. Brass was lead for LVPD and Vartann was his second. Catherine wonders why they didn't recuse themselves. I love how she completely forgets about all the things she did after Grissom told her not to.
Catherine and Ecklie are in Brass's office and he's telling them how he knew Anne-Marie. Jim says he was riding the party train back then and work was an interruption to his fun. There was a homicide convention in New Orleans, Anne-Marie was there and available and sexy so they hooked up. Brass told his boss about his involvement and he was told not to sweat it.
Brass then says to Ecklie, "what about you Conrad?"
Catherine gives Jim an extremely amused look (probably because of the sing-song way Jim asks the question). Ecklie says it was dinner with benefits and then they headed over to the Gold Coast.
Jim says, "Gold Coast? You couldn't do any better than that?"
I love how Jim yanks Conrad's chain even though Conrad is Jim's boss. Jim is not afraid of authority. I mean he did glare down and yell at McKeen (before he knew McKeen was dirty).
Vartann has ginormous front teeth! I mean almost bigger than his mouth, ginormous. And they also appear to be quite fake. I do like how he throws Warrick up at Catherine when she says he should have recused himself. And takes a jab at Nick. Flashback to cop gathering up evidence. Wow, back in the day it sounds like the detectives actually got to detect.
I love that Brass gets to drive the bitchin' Dodge Charger but everyone else has to drive a Ford. And no, it's not a Taurus. Looks more like the regular police standard Crown Vic.
"We're cops. We have guns that have guns." Brass seems to be back on his game again.
Turns out Anne-Marie faked her death but her now boyfriend squeals to the police and Brass and Vartann are there to bust Anne-Marie. What, no CSI's are there? It's actually cops? Who are these writers and what have they done with the crappy other ones?
Brass comes walking up. "Annie, I know you got a gun". LOL!
Anne-Marie calls Jim, Jimmy. Aw. She is flirty big time with Jimmy.
Vartann comes up to cuff her and honestly, his dialog is so flat. Or maybe it's the way he says it. Dude may look nice but he has the screen presence of a gnat. But it's obvious that Brass is still smitten with this chick and she does turn on the charm to him. I love that she really is mostly ignoring Vartann as Brass comes around and says "Been gone a long time, baby. And now you're going away for even longer." I love, love, love the look on Brass's face! Can I just say that he looks smokin' in that whole last scene? Ok, I did say it.
Anne-Marie says "let's see how many men are on the jury" and then leans in and air smooches Brass. She gets pretty close to him - her forehead almost touches his - and he doesn't back away. Vartann looks slightly incredulous while Jim looks a little...wistful? I love that the camera is focused on him until it fades to black. And yes, I did watch that last scene at least a dozen times. I'm a happy girl.
I happen to know that PG was having some health problems. This accounts for how unhealthy and out of character he looked and seemed in the second half of S10. He was not well. But he is doing much better now and he looks great - both in person and in this episode.
