My Impression on Ted Danson's debut on CSI

My impression on Ted Danson's character D.B. Russell is a bit loose and lighthearted person yet has good balance of investigating skills comparable to CSI New York's Mac Taylor. Although he is still adjusting to his new team, it has shown that he can get along with other members of the team while maintaining authority over team (like treating all members of the team for breakfast is one).

As a long time CSI follower, Danson's character might be the best person to lead the Las Vegas graveyard shift since Gil Grissom (Dr. Raymund Langston may have some of the scientific skills similar to Grissom's yet his character has dark side to which "alienate" some of the show's fans).

Ted Danson to replace Laurence Fishburne on CSI

This news really caught my attention:

"In a surprise casting, multi-award winning actor and television icon Ted Danson has agreed to join season 12 of ‘CSI’. Danson will take the place of Laurence Fishburne – who announced he would be leaving the series last month."  -- Screenrant.com

What the hell is the producers of CSI thinking? I mean they could have literally save the show by getting the person to be the face of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and that is William Petersen to reprise the iconic character Gil Grissom. Every CSI fan would agree with me on this one.

I get it. Ted Danson can give the show some new direction but heck they already did that with Laurence Fishburne which was okay but still the rating are not as good when Grissom was still the man,

Sofia Curtis does a reprise too [Spoiler Alert]

As if we had enough of former CSI cast reprising their roles on the show another former regular cast  Louis Lombard will reprise her role as Sofia Curtis now a deputy chief on the upcoming remaining episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Lady Heather is back on CSI

If Gil Grissom's brief appearance was exciting, CSI episode 19 entitled "Unleashed" will feature the once loved dominatrix now a professional psychiatrist Dr. Heather Kessler or as we know her as Lady Heather played by the lovely Melinda Clarke. What make this episode a bit more exciting on my part is the initial tension that has brought in when Sara Sidle and Dr. Raymond Langston interviewed (Lady Heather,  I mean) Dr. Kessler regarding a case to which she is involved. 

Another thing that makes this episode more interesting was Heather's help on how Dr. Langston can catch serial psycho "The Dick & Jane Killer" Nate Haskell. Lady Heather sure has a thing for the show's main protagonist (albeit in a non-romantic way).

Gil Grissom is back on CSI! ... as a Guest and in Skype

The long awaited guesting of William Petersen on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will be shown on the show episode entitled "The Two Mrs. Grissoms" to which the focus of the episode will be the relationship of between Grissom's mother and his wife Sara Siddlle-Grissom. If you don't believed me here's a sneak peek of the episode (Warning: Spoiler Alert)

A Resolution to Wendy Simms Departure on CSI

Episode Two of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation yielded some resolutions aside from the episode case in hand. It also yielded the resolution to the Wendy Simm's departure of the show to which she said on the show that she has a new job as full-time CSI agent on Portand, Oregon and sadly said goodbye to Hodges.

My speculation on this is that in the near future, there is a possibility of her coming back to CSI not as a lab rat anymore but as an experience crime scene investigator. And since Marg Helgenberger will leave CSI by the end of the season, I won't be surprise if Liz Vassey returns now as a CSI to fill in the spot Helgenberger left.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Season 11 - Episode 1

Justin Bieber has officially started his acting career as a possible "bad guy" as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's season premiere started with a bang (pun intended). As with the previous season, CSI has a knack for having a very long series arcs (similar to last season's Dr. Jeklyl murders) and this one won't be different except for a new the new CSI added in the cast in the person of bomb expert Kacey Monahan (played by Sienna Guillory) which so far was impressive and has practically eased the loss of Liz Vassey on the show. Still, I would hope that she will last unlike the previous "babe" CSI on the show ( Lauren Lee Smith and Sofia Curtis). 

Marg Helgenberger to Leave CSI

Marg Helgenberger (who plays the hot Catherine Willows) has announced that she will be leaving CSI after the 19th episode of the 11th season of the said show.

It's unfortunate that the show's original cast is starting to leave the show but that's life. I would hope that Marg's replacemenr after the 11th season would be as hot or even better similar to what is happening on CSI: NY.

New babe Sienna Guillory joins CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

With the reports that Liz Vassey (who plays the lovely DNA lab tech Wendy Simms) not coming back for the 11th season of CSI, the producers has announced the addition of a new BABE (Ballistics, Arson, Bombs and Explosives) expert which is gonna be portrayed by Sienna Guillory. Guillory also made this announcement on her twitter.

Wendy Simms will not be back in CSI

Another sad news on the CSI:Crime Scene Investigation front as the producers of the show will drop Liz Vassey who plays DNA lab technician (and fellow lab rat Hodges' love interest) Wendy Simms for the upcoming 11th season of CSI.  It's unfortunate that she was not given a chance to become one of the main cast as many fans were expecting her to become a CSI similar to Greg Sanders.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Season Finale Trailer

CSI finale will be a heart pounding episode as Dr. Ray Langston and Co. will face off with the elusive "Dr. Jeckyl" with the help (of sorts) from Dr. Langston old acquiantance: serial killer Nathan Haskell.
