That Dog Episode on CSI

[bunchofgrapes]

Am pissed and not for reasons you might think. Warning. Much use of curse words ahead.



So it looks like there was going to be an arc this season that involved hairy mob guy and a cop on the take. And now it's all in the shitcan because of this fucking writers strike. No, I don't blame the writers. I blame the HMFiC's. Personally, I love the whole Vegas/mob thing and a cop on the take is bound to involve Brass. And Brass has been all broody so far this season, which makes it even better. But nooooooo! If we do get any more episodes at all, they'll probably be some namby pamby BS. Yeah, I'm pissed.

About the episode: I hate seeing anything where animals are hurt. Nick was absolutely right about animals and kids and I had a hard time feeling anything but sympathy for Tommy.

Ok, show of hands. Who besides me thought Brass was freakin' hot eating Chinese perfectly with chopsticks in front of hairy mob guy? I like whoever is behind this season. They are making the characters do more "real" stuff. And I can't recall the last time we saw Brass eat. I think it was either PMJ or Table Stakes.

Liked Brass getting in Grissom's face and telling him what he should have done with Warrick (put him in your car and take him home).

Oh, and yeah, I really wish Brass had been in on the dog fighting bust instead of Vega only because I love seeing Brass go all authoritative with a gun on the bad guy's ass.

Well considering I missed the first episode to this one, I thought Id kind of missed something. Like.. where Vega suddenly came from? Im sure the first ep kind of explains that, because it was rather out of left field for me, and making me all pouty. "That should totally be Brass holding that Gun!" *Pout*

Yeah.. the chinese scene was great. In fact I was thinking of you all watching it. 'Ooh they're gonna Love that. *Grins* Liked the shirt too. I love when Brass is in blue.

But yeah.. it kind of seemed like the episode was thrown together. Again, Im basing half that opinion on missing the episode leading up to it. But it sounds from the other comments and journals that Im not alone in my thinking.

As for Warrick.. N.. you mentioned you couldn't put your finger on it. To me.. it seemed like they kind of abandoned his usual track of thinking to allow for some of the scenes. Warrick is smarter than that! Sure.. I could see him getting himself into a situation like that. They set that up well enough. But some of the stunts he pulled through the episode.. just didn't seem.. him.

My two cents..

*Is suddenly craving Chinese food*

Once you see the first part of this, you'll realize that Vega did indeed come from left field. Actually, I've noticed whenever there's an episode that deals with Latinos or Hispanics, they bring him in. Back in S5, I think he suddenly popped up for "Snakes" and then disappeared again.

Brass in a crisp, white shirt sans jacket is my favorite but blue is my second favorite.
