I Like Guaifenesin -- and LF on CSI

bunchofgrapesI got a flu shot. This is good because if I hadn't, I'd probably have the flu right now. Instead, I have this mutant cold. It's definitely worse than your average cold but not as bad as the flu. So yeah, I'm hyped up on the massive amounts of guaifenesin in Mucinex D.
Awesome episode but then, I love episodes about serial killers (thought Millander was beyond boring but the Blue Paint Killer was interesting). Haskell was positively creepy. This episode was also one of the goriest in a while. I mean, I didn't really need to see how a body becomes soup in a bag. And decomp guy with the maggot face was especially ew.
Just FYI but my office chair is just like Grissom's. Very comfy.
Anyone else think Joel Steiner's mother looked like Carol Mendelsohn? Just me? Ok.
Who else was suspicious of the guy who asked to buy the woman a drink. Like maybe he's working with DJK. Or maybe he was dead guy #10. Very, very creepy when DJK calls Langston and tells him to look out the window.
Loved the Brass/Grissom exchange:
Brass: So I hear you're moving on
Grissom: I am
Brass: That's too bad.
Grissom: We'll stay in touch
Brass: Sure. You know the barbeque, Labor Day, 4th of July, we'll go out on the boat.
Grissom: You got a boat?
Brass: No
Grissom asks about the boat like Brass has been holding out on him all these years, which makes you realize that these guys have been co-workers and friends but maybe the friendship ends when they go home at night. And Brass's response is the perfunctory going-away speech that most of us have said at one time or another. It's just lip service. That's why he tossed out that bit about a boat. Oh, and too bad they got interrupted but I always get the idea that if Brass and Grissom had to talk personal stuff for very long, they'd end up quiet and staring at each other after a few minutes. They don't always seem comfortable talking to each other about personal stuff.
I get the impression that Grissom thought he could say he was leaving and then he'd leave. No one would miss him, there'd be no cake in the breakroom. I think Grissom completely underestimated everyone's reaction. When Wendy told him thanks, Grissom made it a work thing. I got the impression that when he tells Super Dave that he will miss him, he meant it as a joke. But then Super Dave's reaction made him realize that people really will miss him and that made him sad. Made me sad too.
I love Brass being all authoritative tough cop at the car wash. Notice how when Brass yells "LVPD", it's very loud and forceful. Listen to when Vartann yells it. He has such a wimpy sounding voice. Definitely made me laugh.
I like Laurence Fishburne. I wouldn't go see a movie just because he's in it but he's been in two of my most favorite movies (Boyz N the Hood and Akeelah and the Bee) so I like him. I like that the actor isn't a pretty boy. I like that his character is smart but still has a lot to learn. I like that he's already butting heads with Brass. I think I'm really going to like him on the show. Wonder if the Prof is married? It would be kind of cool to have a character who's married with a couple of kids. Maybe even a dog.
Oh, and when they find that 10th body in the tunnel and Brass is looking over Grissom's shoulder, PG is freakin' hot! Some times the lighting on him isn't so great (like in the car wash) but that time it was perfect.
