May 3, 2007: Leapin' Lizards
Fortunately for Dave Steed, he is off getting married. Unfortunately for us, he isn't able to share his take on this episode of CSI. So share your own thoughts on last night's episode so he can read all about it when he returns.

Congrats on the wedding, Dave. You picked a good time to miss CSI. The next few weeks should be better episodes.

Last night's epi wasn't sweeps-worthy, but the end was interesting...

Very interesting ending - We all know that Grisoom can't be the Miniature Killer - can he?

Morning y'all...
I guess this week was the week for aliens on TV... First Bones and now CSI... But all in all, it was ok...
Everyone got some screen time... On to the guest stars... I know the first girl was Ally Sheedy (sp)... The other girl, that had "Preston's" clothes in her car, wasn't that the girl, Eileen I believe, from the movies Airplane??? I remember her voice and hair but she got older... And so have I... 
Other than that, the show wasn't all that great... Loved that everyone was on the alien kick and made jokes about it...
Ok, and it was nice to see Sara and Gil at home and relaxing and such... And the note she read, the one he didn't send... That was nice too, until I saw the previews for next week, it was like WTF???
Now if I saw the last scene of this show properly, which I believe I did... Was Grissom setting up a "minature" scene???? My jaw dropped!!!! I really don't see him being the killer and sending himself those minatures... It wouldn't make sense... But still, it looked to me that he was glueing together the walls of one...
And then the previews for next week... ****SPOILER**** What was with Grissom's attitude when he said she (lady Heather) was with me all night???

Yeah, this one was missable, except for the last ten seconds. I don't THINK Grissom can be the Miniature Killer, but I've been wrong before.
LOVED Brass with the forked-tongue bit. Thought it was ridiculously funny.
While I was amused at the whole cast-morphing-into-lizards thing, I'm afraid it came off as a bit, well, cliched. Really, with the lizards? Well, it is what it is.
So, where on earth did Grissom pick up a dog? When did he become a dog person?

This episode was just another reason that I love CSI. You never know each week what you are going to get or who will be on it.
It's the consistently of the show that keeps me tuned in. Even if this wasn't "sweeps-worthy" it was still a solid episode. I liked seeing the team working together on one case (we've had a lot of these this season).
My only critique... was the whole team needed for this case? Seemed like overkill to send everyone. In the "Lab Rats" episode everyone had a different assignment.
The interaction between Warrick and Nick was classic CSI. Poor Greg, why couldn't the Shannon bite Nick or Catherine?
Brass continues to make me laugh with his one-liners.
I thought the Grissom/Sara action was great, showing how comfortable they are in the relationship...like an old married couple (and I should know).
As for the last 10 seconds. Grissom is not the MK. Throughout the series he's said how he needs to get into the mind of killer. To think like them. He's recreating the miniature to think like the killer...or he's designing a bigger pad for him and Sara to hang-out.
As for the preview for next week...slick editing can imply things that aren't. I love every episode Lady Heather has been in, and can't wait to see her next week.
Finally, I think the dog has been on CSI in the past...can't remember when or what episode.

Good eye, JustMe: the actress who played Preston's lover/mark is Julie Hagerty of Airplane fame and the great 1985 movie Lost in America.
How creepy was it to see Grissom building a miniature! Maybe that's his way of getting into the killer's head.
Can't wait for Lady Heather's return! Those of you who say there's no chemistry between LH and GG haven't been paying attention. Grissom knows bugs and science, but he's fascinated with Lady Heather's insights into human nature, which he struggles to understand since he's clearly not a people person. I think they make a perfect match.

I have to agree that this weeks episode was good, but last week (and the week before) were just SO good that this one paled in comparison. I liked watching a glimpse of Grissom and Sara at home. Cute dog! I'm wondering now about how Sara sees her relationship with Grissom, although we've been given clues that it's more complicated than we would imagine. It was fun seeing the sfx guys strut their stuff. I loved Brass and his tongue! This was one episode that I will watch again and again. However, it wasn't "perfection" in the same way that last weeks episode was.

I agree that there's no way that Grissom will be the Miniature Killer, and that the end was a fakeout. But what if the show (and CBS) were really brave enough to go in such an unexpected direction??? Oh, one can only dream that network TV would pull something so unexpected....
Instead, we only get will she/won't she die (Sara) depending on how her contract negotiations work out--a typical story line dictated by the actors whims, rather than a writer's imagination.

Brass' forked tongue & Greg's morphing into a reptile were the best moments of the episode, although the little byplay between Warrick & Nick was funny as well. I like Enrico Conaltoni from Veronica Mars (and he played an alien in the hilarious movie Galaxy Quest!), and it was good to see both Ally Sheedy (the sci-fi movie War Games) and Julie Hagerty (the sci-fi movie Airplane 2). They haven't aged that well, however. When I saw the previews for this episode, I thought Sheedy was Sara, mysteriously aged.
It would have been neat, however,to see Jane Badler and Duncan Regehr in it, as they played the reptilian aliens Diana & Charles in V.

Imzadi: Airplane a sci-fi movie??? I thought it was a comedy... I for one, could never ever laugh that hard at a sci-fi! I still replay the whole "she's shaking up, falling apart" scene in my head everytime I think of this movie and it's sequels...
But agreed, they haven't aged great, but they still look alright... And I could guess who they were, so they couldn't have changed that much...
Also, Ally Sheedy was the basket case in "The Breakfast Club"...
Have a great weekend...

I didn't know David was getting married!! Awesome. Congrats!
As to the ep... it was ok, not one of my favorites cause I felt like I couldn't follow what was going on and the original CSI is usually better when it comes to that. I honestly cannot tell you who even died or anything. Just mass confusion.
Of course I can tell you Sara finally found that letter (FINALLY) and yes folks... she READ IT without Grissom's knowledge. Rock on my sistah! I'd have done the same thing. Lord knows when you have a man who can't communicate so well verbally you gotta take whatever you get even if it's a mysterious letter laying around inside a book! Wonder why he'd put it there? Did he want her to find it? Or is he just careless? I hope this helps his cause when LH shows up working her magic on Grissom's libido. And man oh man can that dog they had (WP's dog) drool or what? yick. No way in the world would that drooler be on my bed LOL

I truly hope Grissom is not the MK because he would have to leave the show or at the least, he wouldn't be a regular. I keep thinking back to Third Watch when Doc went crazy and shot people though. It has happened before where a major character turned bad.
I really do agree with the other posts though that he is just trying to get in the mind of the killer. At least I hope that's it.

Imzadi! V!!! I LOVED that show! I still have nightmares when the woman was having the baby and it looked fine, but then swished a forked tongue in and out of its mouth! Marc Singer... mmmmm mmmm good. Loved him in The Beastmaster!
