One of the few CSI episodes of late where I actually paid attention to what was going on on-scene.

Big CSI news!!

This is not confirmed, but according to an online source:

regarding that spoiler, which is

I was surprised at first you even heard his voice on that phone call. Thought it might be a soundalike. But I was genuinely floored to see him on the Skype chat. I had been convinced that Petersen had totally left CSI in his rear view mirror. Nice to see him again.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

I'm pretty sure that when he left the show, he said that he occasionally planned to come back for cameo appearances. Or am I misremembering?

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

^^ Yeah that was a pleasant surprise to see Petersen back last night even though it was essentially a cameo. I still don't quite understand how the Grissom-Sara relationship is working considering she's been working in Las Vegas for almost 2 years now and he has been traveling, lecturing and is now at some Incan dig. It's only been 2 years since he left the show, but geez it looks like he's aged 10 years.

I know Petersen will never come back to work on the show full-time again, but if CSI makes it to season 12, which I'm sure it will, that he's willing to make sporatic guest apperances to help with cases. Especially since Marg/Catherine is leaving after this season.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

He said he was open to making occasional guest apperances. The main reason he left was because he was burnt out from the grind of the show and wanted to do other projects like act in plays.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Petersen's still one of the producers, so he might as well show his face every now and then if it will boost the show's ratings or help the storyline.

I know why Gil stays away so much, his mom is a raging bitch
at least up to the opening credits that's my opinion of her

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Speaking of, they haven't really set anything up plot-wise for her departure. I wonder if they are going to just off her like Warrick.

Bring Vassey back! :)

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Katee Sackoff's Facebook page said this was her last episode. That's too bad. They didn't write her out of the show, so I guess she could come back.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

I forgot all about her. How many was she on? I only recall seeing her once before.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

I never liked Starbuck as a brunette.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

that sucks
I liked her being on this

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

This. Hopefully they'll bring her back next season.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Yikes, last night's episode was the worst CSI episode ever.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Really? I thought it was pretty intense.

Ray announcing that he had the MAOA gene on the stand, destroying Haskell's case was great. I'm not sure about the

CSI video clip of the year:

Well, there goes CSI's ratings for the under 14 female demographic. :D

What a weird coincidence how Justin Bieber turns up again on CSI right in the middle of the media blitz for his movie.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

One of the few episodes I liked this season. It wasn't your run-of-the-mill, solve-the-murder-in-an-hour episode.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

^ Same here -- really enjoyed this week's episode though. I think I am "Bieber'd out" this week though -- first the Bieber-themed Glee and then CSI. Need a break...;)

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Agreed. I do think they could have handled the "red-shirt" situation a little better

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Although CSI trials are usually ridiculous, this one was simply stupid. At best, he'd be committed to permanent psychiatric prison care.

And Bieber's acting was terrible. Atrocious line delivery.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Man is this show going downhill fast... It is becoming a chore to watch.

Re: CSI: -- The 11th season thread -- Thursday's on CBS
 

Wow, what an intense storyline with Nick. That intro with Doc was something else. Probably the strongest of the season. Too bad the b "cat" story was fucking garbage. I get it served to bring Melinda Clarke back in, but it really dragged down the strength of the main story.
