I really didn't think I would like LF being on CSI. He has not been one of my better liked actors. But after last week, I was a little more optimistic, and this week, he won me over. I like that his character is not a know-it-all, been-there-done-that sort. He is willing to learn the little things like the fingerprinting, and get his hands dirty during the autopsy.

And, I loved that Katherine gave Gil's office to Nick, who then in turn shared it with Greg and Riley. I'm really sensing a change in the shows that can lead to some very different storytelling. nods

Barbie, I think you're right. Believe he did have successful surgery. I'd forgotten about that.

Hooray! Grissom is gone! Lawrence Fishburn is much better. I hope Grissom and Sara never return from that ridiculous jungle life we last saw them in... Ugh! barfsmiley

JoeyM..your posting all over the board and I'm enjoying all your posts..it's so nice to have you visit and as far as Lawrence Fishburn, I do like him. But I do miss Grissom.
I do like the way they are taking the show in a different direction.

Well that was a foolish way to end the show. I never liked the romance between Grisson and Sarah. However I am not being lured back to CSI by Fishburn. Its been a long time since I really enjoyed a CSI episode. I did watch the one with Taylor Swift in it as I was interested in how well such a young woman would act. I didn't think it was well written. She was not spectacular but OK. Scripts just aren't that good.

Thanks Barbie. smile

Grissom was okay, but I think Lawrence is an improvement; although I wouldn't be surprised if I'm in the minority on that. Greg, Katherine, and Nick still hold the show together for me. I hope they stick around for a long time.

I'm still not good with the new character names, but in the most recent episode when they put Lawrence down in the basement with the new female CSI, and they were basically taken hostage for the entire episode... I thought that was a good effort by the show to define these new characters and help us accept them as part of the show.

I just couldn't get over the laughable way in which Grissom went out - Traipsing through a jungle, Grissom finds Sarah and her shack, air drying her jungle garb... And then they embrace. And now I guess they are out there living as one with the bears and birds... barfsmiley Who does this?

When they come back as guest stars (which is inevitable unfortunately), they better stop off at a motel and take a shower before they show up at The Office!
