Synopsis:



This is Part 2 of the Cliffhanger from December and it's also William Petersen's final episode as Gil Grissom. For those of you who want to watch it and haven't followed season 9, you may want to watch the last episode "19 Down" from December 11th 1st since this is a continuation.

Nick Martin

For many (myself included), William Petersen IS CSI:

From what's been said about all of this, it won't be as cut and dry as that, so the show will survive and thrive without him.

In the new Entertainment Weekly, Petersen says he may make a guest appearance next season.

Michael Corvin

Peterson is CSI but I can't imagine people dropping the show because he's gone. The ensemble is amazing, the dynamic will just change a bit. Plus the writers did a tremendous job with Liev Shrieber a couple seasons back. I have complete faith in them that Fishburne is going to be great.

RocShemp

How did they resolve Liev's character arc? I totally forgot.

Michael Corvin

Thanks.

Geofferson

That was a good article. Here's hoping for a good episode tonight for Grissom.

Shazam

Isn't he still producing for the show though?

DJariya

Yes, he will retain his credit as Executive Producer, but won't be involved on a day to day basis, especially since that EW article mentions he now lives in Chicago.

damn, i love this show
i hate how he is leaving though

dgmayor

Agree 100%. As much as I love the Grissom Character, I didn't miss him at all during the episodes with Shrieber. As you mentioned, the ensemble is amazing.

Nick Martin

A wonderfully understated ending to an era. Perfectly suitable for Grissom with a pleasant surprise I almost thought wouldn't happen.

The preview with Langston next week was exciting. It's a whole new beginning...

RocShemp

Missed it cos I was watching SUpernatural. What happened? Will they re-air this anytime soon?

Ranger

Wow, great episode. I didn't like Grissom at first, but now I'm sad he's gone.

Patman

Nice bullet time nod to Fishburne's presence on the show.

I thought it was a fitting end for Grissom. Hodges's last words to Grissom were kinda funny in being testy as if they had this great wonderful reparte (mostly in Hodges's mind), funny nonetheless.

Looking forward to what new blood will bring to the mix for the next phase of CSI.

I thought it was a great episode and, if he had to go, a perfect ending for the character. I cannot believe how long I have watched this show. It seems like just yesterday I was so juiced about the awesome premier.

I never thought that I would, but will give the new direction a chance because I don't really have bad feelings about him leaving. I guess I am a CSI addict.

Geofferson

Fitting exit for Grissom -- enjoyed last night's episode.

CPA-ESQ.

3 serial killers - What a rush job on the case!

This could have been a 4 part series, but they wrap it up with a grainy picture of the moon

DJariya

You can watch it on CBS.com. Most CBS shows are posted there a day after they air.

I liked this episode and will miss Grissom. I did not like any of Hodge's lines last night though. I would have been fine if he would not have been in the episode.

Nick is still my favorite character on the show.

MrX

Hodges' "Guys like us" line cracked me up

Solid sendoff.

DJariya

Very nice sendoff for Petersen and Grissom's character.

I really liked the scene with him walking down the hall and him seeing business carry on as usual in the crime lab. It was good to see Gil have a smile on his face as he left. It kind of implys the show will carry on and survive without him.

I was surprised to see the cameo from Jorja Fox. The final scene was very fitting for both characters.

The previews for the future episodes with Langston look great. I think the show will carry on just fine without Petersen.

Michael Corvin

Great episode. Great ending to an era. I liked how they had Langston screw up right off the bat so he's not coming in as some super CSI to take Gil's place.

Hodges was more annoying than usual last night but it definitely fit the character. I did love the "more bad guys will win" line though.

DVDMagic

According to the CBS site this is getting repeated tonight at 8pm before the regular episode.

Glad because I set it for the DVR last week and something must have run late because it cut off halfway thru
