Oh, and Nick's hair is back to normal.

Thank gawd. That hair was just killing me. It made him look so much older and did not suit him at all.

This episode solidified my Greg love. Warrick will always be teh sex, but Greg is too freakin' funny. Love him!

I guess I'm in the minority. I didn't like the episode at all. I love it when they are semi-humorous, but this just felt too forced. It also bugged how they shot it, I felt it was pretty inconsistent with camera angles, etc.

And how freaky was it that the dim wit from "Mean Girls" was the murderer! HEE!

I didn't like it either. The worse thing about it for me was that it was way too easy to figure what happened and who did what. And I agree it was forced. It seemed like one of those independent movies that tries to hard to be quirky and cool.

While I've never been a fan of David Caruso, I do like him on Miami. The role suits him, but I do agree, his mannerisms (the pause, the head tilt, etc) are rather annoying. I've learned to overlook that.

Last night's episode was pretty good. I'm really curious as to who the "mole" is. As for HoCaine getting married, I wonder what Delko thinks about that.

Vegas cast is my favorite, but Delko and Wolf are nice to look at.

Mr. Sunnyhorse and I think that Valera's the mole. She screwed something up last season and was about to get fired, and then all of a sudden she was back in the lab as if nothing had ever happened. We think the higher-ups told her she could keep her job if she'd turn on her colleagues in the lab and spy on them.

I haven't felt the same about CSI:Miami since Speedle left. HubNoir and I both felt that Wolfe's hiring was ridiculous: a cop on a case seems to have a flair for crime scene work, so, even though he's had no formal training in it, LET'S HIRE HIM ON THE SPOT! This never felt right: maybe he's the mole! Moley- moley- moley!
And this whole marriage to Marisol thing... W!? T!? F!? I didn't even know they had any kind of personal relationship! But I think that being related to Horatio Caine (like "Calleigh Duquesne," a name churned out by a soap opera random name generator) is kind of like wearing a red shirt on Star Trek, so she won't be around much longer anyway, which is fine by me (what a feeble character!)

[Sunnyhorse]

We think Marisol (sorry, Maahhr-eee-sol) is dead meat, too -- or, at least, we hope so. At least in the past Horatio's dated intelligent women -- cops, lawyers. Marisol just seems a bit slow (although she does seem to be the world's healthiest cancer patient).

... Marisol (sorry, Maahhr-eee-sol)...

BWAAAAAHH! Thanks for snarking on that, Sunnyhorse. We mock it in the privacy of our own home, but I didn't want to seem well... um, anti-foreign language in public. Actually, though, it's an Anglo (and a very anglo Anglo at that!) doing the over-pronouncing, so I guess he's fair game. Reminds me of the SNL skit where some broadcaster types were trying to be as correct as possible and peppering their white bread midwest style with, "boooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr-eee-toh" and "Rrrrrrrrraah-MOHN." Heee!

OT: Was that the one where Jimmy Smits hosted and the others were talking about the Sandistas and so on, and he was kind of flabbergasted? That was hilarious. I think Victoria Jackson was one of the anchors.

On-topic: I haven't watched any of the franchise regularly this season. So Warrick's married, huh? Interesting...

I believe that was the one. TOO funny!

OY! I really need to get my spousal unit to join this board, so he can promote his own theories. His idea about this most gratuitous personal tidbit ever dropped on CSI: Original Flavor is that we were getting hints that Catherine and Warrick [mmmmm... Warrick... *ghrghrghrghr*... ] might be forming an attraction and the powers that be feared viewers wouldn't like that, so suddenly and inexplicably, Warrick was married off and off-limits for our pixie-faced heroine. For several shows after the out-of-the-blue marriage announcement, at least once a show Warrick just mentioned his wife for no seeming reason except to enforce his unavailability to Catherine.
