A Family Affair (Where Buffy, Jody and Mr French get whacked by Uncle Bill)

[bunchofgrapes]

So it's Thursday night and CSI is back with a new season. You know what this means...



Except that there wasn't a whole helluva lot of Brass so you're going to get some other stuff thrown in. Stuff like "I wish my eyebrows were as sculpted as Nick's". Seriously, he has girl brows. And dude is looking every bit of his 42 years but I have to admit to liking the way he's aging.

Very bummed that PG had to shave his hair. After seeing his bushy summer hair, I now know it's not him. At least it's not quite the buzz cut he had last season.

I'm just not really feeling the love for this season. I think it's mostly because there's been so much in the news and none of it mentions Brass. Plus, I'm sure they'll drop the whole friendship thing that Brass and Catherine had back at the end of S9.

I liked Greg when he was in the lab. I can't stand Greg now. Actually, I haven't liked him since S6, when he whined to Grissom about having to tag the car chase. I hated his whiny ass-ness tonight. Did like Nick telling him to basically suck it up.

PG really does look good. The man looks slim and trim and tan. And he must be wearing blue contacts too because at one point, his eyes were very, very blue. Definitely not his regular shade of blue.

Brass is holding the flashlight for dead guy in the lab. I'm sure that's him being all fatherly for his daughter-figure Sara who he said not one word to. But the affection is there people! Brass has totally tossed aside the daughter he pictures singing a little song while she colors for Sara. Brass secretly pictures Sara singing a little song and coloring too.

I've come to the realize that fan fiction has made me not like Sara.

On a different note, Vega was on The Mentalist.

But how was your vacation? Hot enough? I'm so done with this heat. I'll, of course, be checking back in on the CSI front. And you know how excited I am about Sara coming back.

[bunchofgrapes]

Vacation was good but not really relaxing for reasons I'll go into later. I realized when I did this post that I'm way behind in all things LJ. But I will say Portland weather was great! Gorgeously sunny, mid 70's during the day, very cool at night. However, back here? Heat and humidity really need to go now.

And yes, I share your excitement.

Btw, are you going to be at chat Sunday night? I need some fic help. Plus, I probably need to bug you about your fic.

[tos-lover.livejournal.com]

Blech. Is about all I have to say about that episode.

Glad you had fun in Portland and that the weather was good. It's been ridiculously funky and hot here.

I think I'm doing chat on Sunday. Haven't been there for a couple of weeks and we have nothing planned thankfully. And yes, you do have to bug me about my fic. I'd love to help you with yours though!

Hee! I saw Vega too, and kept wanting to ask him why he'd changed jobs. :P

Yeah, not enough Brass. But come on, do you really expect consistency from them these days?

[bunchofgrapes]

But they can do consistency with other characters. Did you notice the actor playing the doctor treating the stalker? He was the doctor who treated Willie Cutler back in S6.

And Vega looked kind of...weird...in the uniform.

[losingntrnslatn.livejournal.com]

The 'stache didn't help his appearance either.

[bunchofgrapes]

It looked better than the one he sported on CSI a while back. That one was worse than Nick's.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

I think it was half a size too small or something.

I don't even remember who Willie Cutler is. The doc reminded me vaguely of the coroner on CSI:NY.

Their consistency is inconsistent. :P Look at Catherine so far this season, sheesh!

[bunchofgrapes]

Willie Cutler was the guy who shot Brass.

And it wasn't so much the size of the uniform as much as it was just seeing him in a uniform.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Ah, right! I'd feel embarrassed if I weren't capable of forgetting the names of people I've known for twenty years. *eyeroll* I'll take your word for it.

Vega kind of soured as time went on--it looks like he took that with him when he transferred.

[losingntrnslatn.livejournal.com]

Brass Light is a serious understatement. But I did enjoy the way he schooled the grieving *kid* That was a very nice moment. Really showed how much he *knows* how things work in that town.

[mingsmommy.livejournal.com]

I was sorry not to see more Brass and I wasn't too fond of Greg being whiney either.

I do hope they go back to the Brass/Catherine friendship thing.

And I agree with losingntrnslatn, I liked how he was with the boyfriend.

[bunchofgrapes]

I'm not holding my breath about the friendship thing. The writers have a habit of completely forgetting where they left off, especially when it's Brass.

I wasn't all that impressed with the episode last night. I guess I was expecting more. I don't know why I would think I would get more. Although the opening scene was still cool, even though it was the promo they have been showing for weeks.

Speaking of the Jim/Cath friendship...TPTB could have totally expanded on that last night. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that Sara had the little chit-chat in the locker room. But that would have been the perfect scene for those two.

[bunchofgrapes]

Last night's episode was all about TPTB wetting themselves over Sara's return. I would have been more impressed with the opening if they hadn't shown it in the promo. Idiots. And of course, there wasn't a cop around when it happened. Oh, wait, CSI's are now cops.

Did you see Alice's post over on the forum? She says that when Catherine was on the phone, she was talking to Brass. I had the same thought.

[airforce-chic.livejournal.com]

I can take Sara in small doses. I can alomost stand to watch her whehn Grissom isn't there and she is not the negative Nelly she is. She didn't seem to bad the other night. I'm sure she will get worse as her episodes roll on.

Nice to see the only thing TPTB can remember to do is make the CSIs cops...Uhhh

Yeah, I did see her post at the forum. I'll have to go back and watch this again. This aired after a long day and I was exhausted by the time it was on and was also too busy getting my uniform ready for Friday.

That episode was so OOC Greg I was very confused. I was like Who is this? FAil? FAIL?

And Brass is slim and tanned because he and Sofia have been doing it on a resort holiday in Hawaii. Just letting you know ;)
