I really like CSI. I've got all the DVD's and watch it most nights. I'm going to cry.

However he was spectacular in 'Manhunter' as Will Graham. The best bit is the insanely long slow motion shot at the end with 'In-a-gadda-da-vida' by Iron Butterfly playing and the bad dude flying through the glass. Awesome.

Paris because Will Graham might be able to find a brain cell in her head and undergo all sorts of 80s angst over it.

though I won't...

Haven't you all spotted the producer credits he gets? He's just going to stay behind the camera from now on. Smart man. Acting is for losers.

It's the end of an era....

Worreck (Did I misspell that?) was killed off in the season finale last season and next season Gil Grisson is gone? Who can possibly replace him? They are definitely going to need an actor of stature and distinction. This will be a very interesting upcoming season at CSI.....

Tipped the shark one or two series ago, so his timing is just a bit late, but not oo bad. Unlike Miami, which only made it to series 3 before it became interminable bollox.

Been mourning since Jorja Fox left (appropriate surname). Girlfriend couldn't sympathise, but I bet she can now.

Just as long as that patronising ginger berk doesn't transfer from Miami to replace him...

I just hope they don't replace him with a plank of wood like the lead guy in CSI Miami. At least the CSI New York has a little bit of something to it. CSI Miami's just a little bit too "CSI-for-good-ole-boys" for me.

Just give us the science, and lay-off the machismo, Horatio.

Paris, cos CSI Miami's just her thang, Y'all.

That was a great episode of CSI! Also, Tom Noonan was excellent in Robocop 2.

Is the bad guy with the English accent...how about Alan Rickman?

. . . .if they will cast a - gasp shock horror - woman for the part.

Who ever it is will have to sort of reflect the district it's based in.

We've got the drawn, thin, possibly neurotic New York one. Then there's the weird robot in the Miami version - either a robot or so full of white powders that he just stares off in to space for long meaningful moments. Not forgetting the troubled gung-ho military one with all the correct sidekicks in place.

Maybe it will be the 'fish out of water' - handy for either male or female/geek non-geek etc. etc. - even Helen Mirren as a British ex-cop, hardboiled but fair etc. etc. Whatever happens it will be enjoyable, implausible fun.

I've always loved CSI primarily because of Grissoms character. To me, he and his idiosyncrasies are what made the show worth watching. I've always considered him the ideal counterbalance for the characters of rest of the team, possessing many of what I'd consider the ideal character traits for a CSI.

I really admired his ability to be objective and unbiased even in the face of incredibly difficult situations. Yes, he was perhaps the biggest geek in the entire cast, but that is what made him so special.

His ability to make true, valid connections through logical deduction, where others were often too emotionally driven or too willing to rely on their hunches or misleading past experiences for guidance has always been an inspiration.

Gil Grissom will be a great loss to the series. I honestly can't imagine CSI without him, and i seriously doubt they will be able to craft a character good enough to fill the shoes he will leave behind...

As a precursor to the launch of CSI Slough and CSI Swindon, Ricky Gervais will take over the lead role in CSI replacing the character "Gil Grissom" played by William Petersen. Ricky's character joins CSI as part of an international exchange program.

In related news, the producers of CSI have signed a major deal with Philips Lighting to replace the clapped out lighting currently used on the program with next generation energy saving lamps so that the detectives may finally be able to see what they're doing.

thanks twat

Not when the Acting's Future Reality, Dave. Then IT is Subliminal ProgramMIng ...... Overt Propaganda.

...... Oh ffs....

Thanks a freakin' bunch for ruining that one...

Show a little more respect and fore-thought next time..

Shame Gill's going, but it's probably the right time.

Yep, I think you're a cock too, although no worse than the moronic mod who let your spoiler through.

C'Mon people ...anyone who's a fan of CSI knows about this:

Old news - posted way back on May 14, 2008

Stop your "spoiler" whining ....

If you're fan of William Peterson's work, you'll likely enjoy "Manhunter" (1986). Not his earliest work, but damn close to it.

Having been made in 1986 it'll be a bit dated, but it's worth a look.

I can't tell.

They both have the same kind of shit in them.

[One cannot but be saddened by the unimaginative use of pejorative language by the gentlepeople who contribute to your comments.]

I'll miss Gris--he's made the whole set for me. The Vegas series still uses science and deduction to keep it in the same frame as all the other detective stories I've been watching and reading for so much of my life. CSI Miami has gung-ho armed starsky-and-hutches in its lab, and all their events are at parties made up of 96% young women in bikinis that H can look sideways at. CSI NY uses science too (thank goodness) but all of its murderers are amazingly, wackily inventive. I'd prefer to murdered in Las Vegas.

But their computers! Glass-walled rooms full of 40" plasma screens showing identical screens tied to the single computer that the operators have no mouse for so it needs rattling of keystrokes to magnify pictures to read serial numbers refined from two pixels in the middle of a photograph of the reflection in someone's eye. Someone else mentioned all those databases of carpet-fitters or treebark-converters they can access, but not the way they query those databases by entering window sizes in feet and inches; oooh the IT in CSI is worth a list programme of its own!

Who will care for the pig foetus now?

...but imho "To Live And Die In L.A." was William Peterson's finest. Pure 80s excess, quite OTT really, and a rather good driving-in-wrong-direction sequence of Friedken-directed goodness to top things off.

Probably quite tasteless in certain areas, but check it out if you haven't already.

Paris, coz she's also tasteless. She probably doesn't understand CSI. (Assuming she's capable of sitting still enough to watch an entire episode.)

I have never seen a single episode.... the odd bit is because I usually try most new series out for at least one season...

Lot of good shows are getting killed in their first year now because of more established shows running longer and stupid spinoffs... worst one recently was Moonlight - loved that show, couldn't believe they axed it and yet kepts some really terrible series going.... advertising in it was a job though, a jPhone was in almost every scene, it made for fun viewing (a where's Wally type game, only in reverse, try to find the scene without the jPhone in it for an extra Revel! :) )

I will really miss Gris, Maybe he and Sara should get married and have loadsa little Grisi's

I cannot stand that CSI Miami Dade. Horatio is a dork and that woman that does the ?ollocks stuff, oops sorry Ballistics stuff is right up her own barrel. Kally I think

I like Matt Taylor (Gary Sinese he cute or what.)

Anyway they wont be able to replace Gris, so it's the end of CSI Vegas

But really, they should've finished it after season 7, 8 is almost played for laughs, and as for making the <spoiler free zone> the big bad at season finale was just embarrassing. Mind you, Sarah Cidal was my favourite character.

Count me as another one who can't abide CSI: Miami, and Horatio is a pratt.

ROSEBUD WAS A SLED!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

How can it be a spoiler if the episode was already shown like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago!!!!
