Pool Shark or Remember When...

[bunchofgrapes]

Brass seems okay with Catherine now. Catherine still seems bitchy. Wait, maybe that's just her regular personality now.
- Remember when Catherine had a sense of humor?
- Remember when Catherine was a CSI (and not calling herself a cop)?
- Remember when Brass was the cop and went with a CSI to interview a suspect? Catherine does it all but that's because this was a "very special Catherine episode". When does she leave?
- Remember when Nick and Warrick went into the pool? Now it's Hodges and Henry.
- Remember when the writing on CSI was so much better?

There really isn't much to say about this episode. I think I was bored before the halfway mark, probably because this was mostly about Catherine and I find her mostly boring these days. Finally picked up a little when Brass and Nick brought in Anya Sanchez, the girl who gave dead girl a "hot shot" of heroin that made her dead girl. Brass knows about hot shots. I'm impressed. Anya likes to steal jewelery. She's got a box of watches and Brass is trying on something big and hideous with a tan leather band. We already know Brass has several watches because he told Sara so many, many, many episodes ago. He then holds up a ladies watch and says "I gotta girl friend". Say what!? Was this a throwaway line or was he speaking the truth? More please!

Anya reminds me of Ellie. Remember her? Brass' daughter who completely disappeared after S6? She's got the whole cocky Ellie snark down. At least we got a glimpse of Brass snark again.

Bring back the Zuiker episodes. DLA has become a ho-hum writer.

This show is a shell of its former self. It's sad how if I miss an episode, I don't really care. I'll catch it on repeats or when the DVDs come out next fall. That's how passive I've become with the show. I want PG back again next season, but at the same time I don't. He's not the same either, just like everyone else who's left from the original cast.

One thing about last nights episode, there sure were a lot of puns and plugs for other shows: Shark Week and Mythbusters.

I did like the scene where he was trying on the watches. I too, would like to know more about the "girlfriend" he might have.

It really is a shell. Not only did the writers not handle bringing Langston on board very well, the old writers seem to be as bored as some of the actors (PG included) and the new writers don't have a clue about the show or the characters. I'm hoping one condition of him signing on for S10 is that he gets more screen time and a couple of episodes, especially if this is his last season.

I still do watch the show live but that's because I'm still stuck in my old routine. However, once hockey season starts next week, hockey > CSI.

I kinda hope that girlfriend line wasn't a throwaway because I like to think that after all these years, Brass has a girlfriend - one who doesn't end up in jail.
