I'm a minority, I know it, but I do love me some David Caruso. The things you all are finding mannered and twee are the things I like. They're the same things he did on NYPD Blue. It's his style.

I do wish though that Horatio would quit being noble and just jump Yelena and be done with it.

lol, yeah! They really need to get together. I also love David Caruso. I don't know why, but I just like him and he's the only reason I watch CSI: Miami.

I don't like the New York one at all. Just can't get into it. And I got some rabid love for the original. Loves me some Greggo. Really. That dude is hot.

I want to like CSI; NY. I really do. I love Gary Sinise. I like to watch him and pretend Stu Redman is in whatever movie I'm watching. But I just cannot get into CSI: NY. I don't know why. I love the original. I watch the syndicated ones on SciFi. I can't stand HoCaine, so I've never finished an episode of CSI: Miami. But enjoyment of CSI: NY eludes me, for some reason.

Speaking of syndicated eps, I was watching one from S1. You know, when Grissom really was a man of science and nothing else (before Lady Heather). He was like Data from Star Trek - you could count on him to spew out knowledge and that was it. Now, he has other personality traits that make him more "human". I'm not sure if I like this Grissom. I also miss Greg babbling in the Labitrail about useless knowledge, and how everyone picked on him. Now that he's a CSI, he's one of them, so they treat him more as an equal. More Greg in the eps, but less snark for them. Oh, well.

Just out of curiosity - have any of the CSIs ever done a show about DNA being transferred by mosquito? I wa thinking that if someone had been bitten by a mosquito and then carried their blood/DNA to another spot and then was smooshed against the wall, that person's DNA would be in a place that that person may have enver been. If that person was then killed, is it possible that someone could be implicated in the crime, even if the victim had never set foot in a residence?

I think I remember something about the possibility of mosquito DNA transfer and I'm thinking the conclusion was that it wasn't possible. Something about the mosquito's digestive juices destroying the DNA. I'm not having any luck searching for anything that backs this up though. I may have also imagined the whole thing - it's happened before ;- )

I love the original CSI! I am holding out hope that the Nick character comes out of the closet and has an affair with the boss! LOL!

[realitybug]

Yeah, I'm a new fan and I was watching the interaction between him and Grissom and I wondered if they were lovers...

Is the Porn stache the new black? What the hell is George thinking?

[Spurs]

I think George Eads was filming a made-for-tv movie that required the 'stache, but it seemed like it was a while ago.

ETA: Yep, the evel kneivel movie was last year, there's no explanation for the porn stache.

I don't think the individual actors have any control over their hair fashion. TPTB decided when Rachel of Friends changed her hair, or that Felicity would cut her curls in the third year. I always thought the close cropped haircut Eads sported was a reaction to his sick-out for more money at the beginning of that season.....

"Okay, George, we won't fire you, but we're shaving your hair....see how you like that one, pretty boy...."

[tamaradixon]

I read he had to shave his head after having the extensions for the t.v. movie.

still no explanation for the 'stache. Glad that Warrick called him on it though.

Good ep last night, I loves me some Brass.

There always has to be an administrative bad guy on CSI: Original Flavor -- first it was Brass, who turned out to be a good guy; then Ecklie, who is still kind of an asshole but has calmed down considerably and even does the right thing now and then; then Undersheriff McKeen seemed vaguely menacing but wound up being supportive; and most recently we've got the internal-affairs guy who is apparently hellbent on getting Brass and Sophia canned. I'm hoping McKeen puts the smackdown on the internal-affairs jerk.
