"...the RPG's plot line intrgued me..."

They seem very dangerous: You could take your eye out with that thing!

'great acting' and CSI are like oil and water.

I saw it -- I'm sick of these liberal writers.

Don't you sometimes wonder about the lack of common sense displayed by TV show producers as they wade into political matters? No matter what side they take, once they get involved in politics, they're bound to irritate a sizeable percentage of their audience, who simply click off the show.

If I were a producer, no matter how strongly I felt about conservative viewpoints, I wouldn't integrate them into my shows. Liberals, who count as a part of the audience, would then tune out.

Like liberals would recognize it if there WERE conservative viewpoints on TV. Where would they have seen them before? /sarcasm

"Since when can you forcibly take DNA from someone without their consent?"

[tirade]

Why, in the CSI plot wormhole, where you can do anything you want if you is the PO-lice! I'm glad you asked!

My wife loves all the CSIs and I watch with her occasionally. But I loathe the CSI shows for their fantasyland police technology (no police station has even a quarter of the crap they use on every single episode--and there is simply no such thing as the fingerprint-matching computer program that seems to figure into every other episode!), their stupid soap star looks, and their complete disregard for the way crime scene investigation and the law work.

I won't 'get' to see this CSI for another week, but last week, they had the cops go after a hairdresser and tell her that they were going to just search her house because 'she had access to acetone.' How can people root FOR cops who ignore reality like that? EVERY woman has acetone lying around--it's NAIL POLISH REMOVER! Threatening to rampage through someone's house, especially this poor woman whose three kids were just about due at school, that was just WRONG! And what would they have found? ACETONE?!?! Oooh, lock her up now, she's the killer!!

And I swear, if I see one more "hot scientist" at the CSI lab, I'm going to start a campaign to neuter the casting agent for CBS. Doesn't ANYONE look normal anymore? Does EVERYONE on TV have to look like they just got out of their Pilates workshop and freshened up with a facial and creme rinse? I'm honestly surprised there haven't been home-invasions on the police around the U.S. given the number of high-fashion cops on this show! Even Miami Vice wasn't this ridiculous!

It is obvious the writers of this story are going after gun rights' supporters and those calling for immigration reform. CBS has no shame!

What is so obvious? Are you saying that you resemble those idiots with the rpgs blowing up innocent people? That is your problem, not the writers. If some of you idiots didnt spend so much time looking for bias, you might actually have time for a life. Fool.

OF COURSE I don't endorse shooting RPGs at immigrant grocers, but basically the message of the show was if you have ANY problem with immigration, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL you are the equivalent of a person who would do this.

Sorry you felt so much guilt. Didnt make me feel that way at all. Perhaps it was you and not the writer that came up with that message.

Dave, that message was pretty clear in the show. Basically the only complaints the racists has was nobody learns to speak English and the crime rate had increased. Now, here are my complaints about recent immigration from Latin American countries: Nobody learns to speak English and the crime rate continues to increase. Ergo, per the show, I must want to kill grocery store owners, oops, lo siento, make that Bodega owners.

I think that this is actually one thing about ORIGINAL CSI that is much better than most shows. "Miami" and "New York" (NY really stinks imho, sorry, it just doesn't have a NYC feel to it AT ALL) are beauty contests, but Las Vegas CSI actually has a number of chracters who aren't really that beautiful looking. The tall black guy for one, and that sort of soul-tortured brunette. Of course they make up for this by having Marge Helgenberger, I think hubby has a secret crush on her.

CSI:NY is the best of the CSIs in my opinion because of Sinese but they had this goofy computer that you could use a picture that has a sky line and it would calculate exactly where the location of the picture was taken based on building angles and distance in the picture... I especially like the "computer" sounds they add...its soooo much more technological that way. ;)

Sorry, but this male doesn't think that Marge Helgenberger is all that hot looking! In fact, as my dad would have put it..."She looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet!"

Now give me Faith Hill any day! Psssttt! Just don't tell the wife that!

You mean the pinch-mouthed "Skeletor" looking one?

I rarely watch the show, but she's one of the reasons I can't stand to watch it.

Plus the fact that all of the "CSI"'s are filmed without proper lighting.

Somebody must of forgot to budget in bulbs for the set lights.

Darkness does not drama make.

We should have seen this coming (again) with the current polls showing that something like 85% of American citizens and legal immigrants favor locking down our borders. The propaganda continues.

I seriously doubt that the asinine morons who write this drivel will ever wake up to the fact that a "house divided cannot stand". Of course, I guess that's the ultimate destination for us and will ultimately help lead to this nation's balkanization.

"Marge Helgenberger, I think hubby has a secret crush on her."

My Hubby's not so secret crush on her began when she was a hooker on China Beach. lol I balance that out with a minor crush on the quirky William Peterson.
