Does anybody else hate this "miniature killer" thing on CSI?

[idgiehkt]

It's driving me nuts. I like strict forensics; DOA, they do the forensics and see what happened and then they arrest the person. I'm think this dragging this miniature thing on and on like this is so annoying.

1. I'm seriously losing it with the original CSI.

I liked Keppler and think that the way the ended that story line sucked. I certainly l think he added some "oomph" to the show which had been missing for some time. I hate this lame Sara and Gil "secret-love-affair" subplot they got going on (I hate her character particularly) and the miniature killer thing was neat but it's long in the tooth now.

[idgiehkt]

2. I don't like it when they bring the characters

into the plot. It's dumb. I watched some show about FBI yesterday and it is more up their alley to handle the miniature killer type deals. I watched "Without a Trace" yesterday and it drove me nuts, they have a new hottie invesitigator who in real life would be a model and she had to go undercover at a strip club ( :eyes: ) and is getting in a relationship with one of the other officers plus the leader of that group has all these relationship issues going on and I just don't freaking care. I don't care about their personal lives at ALL. Not one little bit.

4. I think you would like Criminal Minds.

It's a little about them, but it's mostly them profiling a serial and then catching him. I highly recommend it.

6. that's a great show too.

Although they've been doing a bit of the character involvement-background thing too (Mostly with Dr. Spencer Reid). They do it better though. Spencer kind of scares me now. He's clearly got demons that he's trying to bury under logic.

[idgiehkt]

13. yep I liked it yesterday

but when they killed that cop last night it broke my heart. Completey unnecesarry. :(

[City Lights]

17. I love Criminal Minds!

:thumbsup:

[City Lights]

35. Plus, Criminal Minds has Shemar Moore.

Oh my. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. I loved Keppler...

Anytime I get to see Liev Schreiber in a role, I'm all over it. And I hate Sarah Too. Everyone I talk to hates her too. How can someone who is so hated stay on a show? I just don't get it. She and Gil just don't go together.

5. How she stays on the show...

go to the CSI message board sometime on the CBS website and see what the idiotic masses think. There is an entire thread dedicated to people who think they should do less forensics and more Sara and Gil romance subplot filled with comments like "If they ever get rid of Georgia Fox's charecter, I'll never watch this show again. The GSR (Gil-Sara Romance)is soooooo cool."(sic)

Anytime a show starts being steered by focus group and public comment, The end is nigh. It marks the end of the potential of any real plot twist to take the show in a new direction or return to roots because you might piss off some very-vocal 15 year old with a 5th grade vocabulary.

[idgiehkt]

11. true

I don't know what is going on but they need to get back to basics and act like the did when it first started where they started out the show with the murder and then the CSI's showed up on scene. And the characters personal lives weren't part of the plot.

[AlCzervik]

19. eewww, what the hell? the day CSI turns into a romantic drama is the

day i stop watching. Jorga Fox makes me want to kill my television, more Warrick, less Sara.

[SeattleGirl]

7. I can't stand her either.

She irks the shit out of me.

[AlCzervik]

8. the end of last weeks episode totally bummed me out.

i thought he was a good addition to the show, kind of a square peg in a round hole but he fit.

[SeattleGirl]

29. That really got to me, too.

But given that he killed someone in the past, he wouldn't have been able to work in law enforcement. Too bad they didn't come up with a different story line for him in his last episode, so he could have stayed on.

[City Lights]

23. I did too.

It sucked that they killed him. Sarah is my least favorite. Too much attitude.

[idgiehkt]

28. okay, I have to come out of the closet

I love Sarah. Because she is not all 'got up'. She doesnt' wear much makeup and never wears heels. She is just who she is. Kind of a tomboy. And to me, who was in my twenties in the 90's, all the women on tv right now look like the moonlight as strippers, with all the fake boobs and bleached hair and collagen lips. To me Sarah looks like someone in my real life, a friend I might have. plus she is very brainy. I didn't like the Grissom/Sarah thing, because I thought he might hook up with that dominatrix. That would have been really, really cool.

[Broken_Hero]

30. I like Sarah too

and her hooking up with Gil took me by surprise....and I do like surprises. I haven't been keeping up with current episodes that well, but have been watching the CSI's on Spike TV like mad....I think the cast of characters is very well rounded...while, none of them irritate me.

But, I understand the cbs message boards...I'm a Smallville fan and all the kids seem to be love struck with the Clark/Lana thing, and they call it Clana, its sickening...because I hate Lana Lang with a passion...she is absolutely worthless to the show....

[Chan790]

33. I like the actress, but...

I hate the character. Needy, yet bland. It's as if they wrote her in years ago just to have a bit of vague tension (her infatuation with Grissom has always been there, but mostly unrequited.) and now the fans are pushing them for the romance too.

Jorja Fox. She's not only not made-up and a tomboy, she's also a vegan and an activist for PETA. (Swoon!) Actually, it's kind of funny the plain-dressing thing as she has her own fashion line of cruelty-free clothing, shoes, and purses.

[idgiehkt]

9. they are not gonna solve this crap tonight.

ARRGGGHHH!!

:banghead:

I am SO tired of it. I want normal CSI back. :(

[AlCzervik]

10. that how they'll end this season i bet, a big 2 part blow out.

[idgiehkt]

14. that sucks.

and you are probably right. And I do not care about this crap. It is sooooo boring to me. I want to see dead bodies, not dead dolls.

[AlCzervik]

16. i hear ya. I do love Grissom though. I hate CSI Miami, just thought i throw

that out there, David Caruso is horrible and i think the writers must hate him seeing how cheesy his dialog is.

[Chan790]

18. I think he insists on his cheesy dialogue...

if you hadn't noticed he also has that bad "Shatner" delivery with a pause in the middle of complete thoughts. If so, what a dork.

[AlCzervik]

20. He takes himself way to seriously.

my daughter calls him "Tomahto" and not because of his red hair, "Mom you know he totally calls tomatoes Tomahtos, same thing with potato's."

[idgiehkt]

21. It's horrendous. I think it's why Kim Delany left

He is like a human black hole, he just sucks in all the air. It's insufferable. Also, the blonde who's name I can't remember, her attitude has gotten so snotty, which I find strange because I don't remember it being that way at first. The whole show is incredibly weird. I like the show but Caruso's scenes are almost unbearable.

Compared to Miami, the humility of Gary Sinise and Melanie Karanakeaieslr or whatever her name is is really easy to watch for me.

[City Lights]

22. I love CSI and CSI NY, but hate CSI Miami. Can't stand Caruso.

My whole house makes fun of his over dramatization. The way he stands, puts his glasses on, takes his glasses off, delivers his lines. :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

25. we walk around and say non sequiturs like him, always ending the sentence

up. "Alright then" "I will Pablo, i will" "You can bet the farm on it Manuel".

[idgiehkt]

26. arrrrghhh!

I can hear him in my head now!

:rofl:

:banghead:

[AlCzervik]

27. **giggle**

[Vidar]

31. Couldn't agree more.

[SPKrazy]

12. I've Not Been A CSI Fan Since The First Season

I just think that the notion that the CSI folks are out arresting people or doing things besides lab work and strict forensic investigations is ludicrous. Of course, a TV show about working in a lab would be a little boring.

:rofl:

[idgiehkt]

15. yes

but they do dramatize the lab scenes. I mean, they play really cool music and have awesome camera angles for when the hottie lab assistant is putting the tube into the centrifuge...they can drag it out for five minutes.

:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

24. Yes, Of Course

except the hottie little lab assistant is really the CSI person and the other people are posers.

:rofl:

[hellbound-liberal]

32. CSI lost us when they turned to human cannabalism a few seasons back.

It makes me sick to see how these types of shows feel the need to sink to new depths of human depravity in order to attract viewers. We watch reruns of Law and Order SVU and Criminal Intent for three or four times and never get tired of the superior acting and writing without the gratuitous violence (Even though the newer episodes seem to be headed in that direction).

[Deep13]

34. Nah, I thought it was cool.

Most of their "strict forensics" are impossible anyway. Fingerprints are hard to get. DNA is even harder to get and doesn't last long. Plus the test costs like a grand, so it is not as though tests can be run routinely.

[Phillycat]

36. No, I like this story arc, actually.

Having read this whole thread, I have thoughts. :D

The miniature killer is cool because I think the miniatures themselves are SO AMAZING. Did you see when they removed air from the teeny little lungs last night to test for toxins?? SO COOL.

Sarah SUCKS. I hate her character.

Keppler was cool, but I'm glad he didn't become a regular character, because A, I was afraid Grissom was going to leave the show, and B, that's another lead that would take more screen time away from WARRICK, who should be the star of every episode in my humble opinion. :D

(Warrick and Nick are having an offscreen love affair, if you follow the sexual tension.)

CSI: New York is also a really good show. I hated it at first, and then they got rid of that really irritating actress and replaced her with the bug-eyed one from Smallville who doesn't bother me too much. Now I love it. And I adore Danny (SEXY ACCENT), Stella, and Mac.

Now CSI: Miami is a completely different viewing experience than the other two. This is enjoyable for the pure cheese of it! How can you not enjoy watching David Caruso chew the scenery for 50 minutes?? I love that fucking show. "Callie, please go...to the docks...thank you, Callie." He says everyone's name a hundred times per conversation. HILARIOUS.
