Did anyone like when at the end of the show, a suspect was trying to run towards his plane and Horatio stands there at the step ladder used to board the plane with his head cocked towards the inside of the plane and he acknowledges the suspect without even seeing him. Man, that's why I love this show!

H is my hero. He can handle anything. I am waiting to see what H does about Nim when that annoying kid who plays his nephew appears. Speaking of the annoying kid, what happened to his mom this season? The first episode set everything up for it. I was expecting H to get back to his old ways of season 2 & 3 (nothing like dancing with the sister-in-law).

An ok episode last night. Seemed like a part 3 will be aired.
It was sorta funny how Wolf messed up with the blood sample.

So, what was the deal with the terrorist girl just taking off in her yatch at the close of the show? I kinda thought it was gonna explode.

Me too, they missed out on a great "H moment", H standing sideways with his head bent down, sunglasses in hand and then the boat blows up as he puts them on and walks away. :p

I was waiting for that to happen and supprised when it did not.

The PQ on this show is spectacular here in San Diego. On my 32" LCD TV the Miami skyline scenes look like a postcard on my screen!!!!

Best episode I've seen in a long time.

Hey, at the end, when H is sitting there with the blonde one, and she's mulling over the photo of her and the ex-hubby, H comfiorts her. He's kinda the good shepard character :) I nocioted he did this same thing with a child once when the kid lost his father or something.

Oh, yeh, I also noticed that H didn't need/wear his shades the whole episode ;) Maybe his eyes are less sensitive than they were

Best PQ of any show on TV, even LOST.

Did anyone see the opening from tonight's episode? I usually tune in to put my faith back in HDTV, but that just blew me away, even by this show's standards. This is probably the best picture quality I've seen in HD. I loved the contrast in the backgrounds, the amount of detail in the sand, etc. You could even see the texture of the jeans.
Anyone have screen captures?

Tonight's airing of CSI:Miami on CBC over Comcast in Chicago was one of the worst HD broadcasts I've ever seen. I do agree, that this show is one of the best looking HD shows and really shines on my 92" HD screen. However, something weird was going on tonight as the image appeared soft in several shots and would go in and out of focus throughout the show. I even saw this happen during a commercial break. The same thing happened yesterday during the NFL playoff game on CBS. I've never seen this happen on other HD channels...Needless to asy, I'm not looking forward to the Superbowl on CBS this year.

Frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of all the overblown colors ... CBS seems especially guilty of over cranking the saturation levels across the board.

PS: I especially enjoyed when the stuntman managed to flip in the air with all limbs still intact after stepping on the mine. :rolleyes:

I liked the episode.
HD and DD 5.1 here in Tx.

Oh, the filters were working hard on last night's episode. Yellow sand with a two-tone sky? Oooohhhh. This show isn't about PQ, it's about fake colors, and oversaturated ones at that.

- The slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow-BOOM! intro was a little too much. (I thought the intact stuntman was pretty funny, too.)
- Horatio standing unprotected within 10 feet of a triggered, unexploded mine? Yeah!!!
- Miami has a lot of dumb criminals. The killer leaves the murder weapon at the scene even though he wasn't wearing gloves?

PS: I especially enjoyed when the stuntman managed to flip in the air with all limbs still intact after stepping on the mine. :rolleyes:

I was more amazed that his flip-flops (AKA thongs) stayed intact and on his feet.

If you think you'll be stepping on a land mine anytime soon, ditch those clunky combat boots and slip into a comfortable pair of flip-flops, you'll be A-OK.

Simpsonesque!! That's hilarious!

Guess I'm not crazy after all, I saw weird blurring/focusing stuff going on here too (TWC DVR in DFW). I thought it was "special effects" at first, but it was just too much and didn't seem to be planned after a while.

Miami has some pretty dumb CSI's too. "Well, don't worry, even though she's a known con artist, I'll just go ahead and pay the settlement out of my pocket without a fight, to save the dept. Just give me a little overtime." I suspect the hot Cuban con artist will now be on Horatio's list though, maybe come back in a future episode and they'll get her.

Was I the only one who thought the world was going to stop when H ACTUALLY cracked a HUGE smile when Frank stepped off the land mine and said something to the effect of, "What a way to start the day".....

H smiled broadly.....but the world kept spinning :p

Yeah he actually showed a personality, how about that? I was shocked too lol

Miami has some pretty dumb CSI's too.


Especially Horatio and Frank. The JUST DETERMINED that the boy was killed by a landmine...and they don't evacuate the beach? Frank just decides to walk across the sand a bit...HELLO, LANDMINES! :-)

My wife and I are big fans of CSI - but sometimes you have to wonder what were they thinking.

So a baseball players wants to kill his competitor landing on the beach. OK - I'll go out and plant 6 landmines in the hope the new player just happens to step on the tiny trigger under hundreds of yards of sand. Not a high probability option I'd say.

But then again - it was more interesting than a snipper rifle.

I like most of the CSI shows, but Miami is getting on my nerves. The overblown colors, the goofy overacting (Horratio's tilted head and talking like captain kirk). He's about a doofus. I mean, acting cocky once in a while is ok, but he tilts his head and talks out the side of his mouth with that sly voice when he's ordering lunch at the drive through for pete's sake!

Miami is definitely the worst of the CSI trinity. I stopped watching it a while ago.

I don't mind the stylized look and the saturated colors. On the contrary, I think that all looks pretty cool.

What annoys the $#!t out of me are the characters, especially H. What is wrong with his neck?? Why is his head always sideways??

None of the other characters are very interesting, either.

My wife and a I do like LV and NY, however.

He is the worst actor on TV right now I'd have to say. I couldn't even watch that whole clip you sent.

I love the show simply for the beautiful PQ and the unintentional comedy factor.

Caruso's aging process is jarring when you see 1st/2nd season clips immediately followed by later seasons'. He turned a corner and it ain't pretty in HD.

That was hilarious, thanks for that link(anyone count how many times he puts his sunglasses on?). :p
That could be the next drinking game....

H's lines are funny enough taken at normal pace from show to show, but all together like this, it's comedy gold.

In the rare instances I watch this show it's simply to check out the PQ that everyone here raves about. This show lost it for me when it became a running theme that a CSI, not police detectives were running murder investigations.....

And, why is H always the first to respond to a scene?? Always.

And, why is H always the first to respond to a scene?? Always.

The man does it all...somehow he is the guy with the sniper rifle blowing up that big rig that was going to suicide bomb the nuke facility? Was SWAT on lunch break? :-)

I was shocked that Horatio (who worked the bomb squad) didn't try to disable the mine himself.

That could be the next drinking game....

And, why is H always the first to respond to a scene?? Always.

Because if he didn't, he couldn't get in his one liner and his sunglasses before they played the opening sequence. :D

So do I, they do a lot of different stuff with the images and some of it is pretty cool.

Wonder what this show would be like without any dialog, just a musical score from start to finish? :)

I thought last nights episode titled 'No Man's Land' was pretty good.
Lots of violent action involved with the CSI Team.
I wonder if Eric Delko was really takin out,dead. The shots seemed like he would be dead. I have a feeling he will be all better next episode. We'll see.
HD and DD 5.1 here in Tx.

The previews showed him being wheeled into the ER all hooked up to the EMS life-saving stuff.
He ain't dead.

No tag line from H last night, just a look. I think Calvo Cruz is dead meat.

Walt

Ohh ok, I did not watch the previews for next weeks episode.
Yeah, I like how Calvo Cruz is back onto the plot. I enjoy H and Calvo's incounters. ha

Yeah, great episode!

I hope Eric isn't dead. He's the only one on the show I actually liked.

I hope Eric isn't dead. He's the only one on the show I actually liked.

Yeah, "Mr Wolfe" would be my first choice to catch a bullet, not Eric.

I just read on my cable box guide that Delko dies. I hope they don't cast some knucklehead to take his place.

He's not dead, but I'm guessing he's not returning to work...

According to the plot line, Delko has some Drain Bamage.
He doesn't remember that his sister is dead, or that she married Caine.

I did predict that Calvo Cruz was dead meat, and I was right...

Walt

Speculation in another forum was that the actor who plays Delko is taking some time off to make a movie, so they wrote that into the script to explain an extended absence.

I hope Eric isn't dead. He's the only one on the show I actually liked.

I agree I was shocked to see this happen to him and hope he makes it back.

Did anyone see Jim Carrey on The Tonight Show? He did an imitation of David Caruso..."'A'. Before 'E'...Except after...'C'"... Funny as hell!

And, oh yeh, last night's episode. Allot of cleavage shown at the beginning.

I wonder how many MEs report to a crime scene looking like Alexx did last night :D

While I'm generally a CSI fan, Miami is a trainwreck. Some of the worst acting and dumbest, most unrealistic plots on TV. I watch it for the eye and ear candy, but it's getting harder and harder to subject myself to the one dimensional characterizations, cartoon posturing and yes...wardrobe decisions. You ever notice that none of the characters change clothes even after several days have elapsed?

My wife even commented on that last night. But perhaps (and it's a big perhaps) they arrived at a murder scene, brought in 4 people for questioning, performed autopsies on 2 people, tested and re-tested blood samples, called in the daughter of a deceased woman, got an exhumation order, exhumed a body and performed tests, had a chase with a kid on a motorcycle, made an arrest in a different case, made multiple trips to the crime scene...all before the sun went down.

Did anybody notice that several other characters had "H" lines in this episode? Oh, and Horatio had a new exit working for him last night: the walk-backwards-out-of-the-shot move.

Watched CSI Miami tonight for the first time. It was mildly entertaining, but I could not stand the excessive chroma.

I understand that the "look" is supposed to be colorful/tropical, and that can be achieved through the production design and lighting. But just to crank up the color saturation control makes everyone look ridiculous - bright orange skintones, which bear no resemblance to a suntan.

Ironically, when I reduced the chroma levels on my TV, not only did the skintones of the actors look more or less realistic, but I could then see that the vivid bright colors that the production obviously intended were actually already there. The production design and lighting had done a great job, but their work had been masked by a clumsy hand on the chroma control.

They would have to do all of that in only an hour or so :)

Have you noticed that the sun is always low in the sky (Giving them that golden hour illumination) in most of the scenes, whether they are indoors or outside.

I have a soft spot for Miami, as the first CSI I've seen, and the first show I've ever seen in HD. I've fallen a bit behind of late, have to grab some DVDs to catch up. Besides, I've started imitating Horatio's trademark moves to the amusement of the others in my office. It's also handy that there aren't many different ones for me to memorize :D

Snip.

Don't worry. After a couple of.... episodes... laughing at H and the gang,...
you wont even notice, will you?

Speaking of noticing things, how come no one ever mentions the show's attitude of "guilty until proven innocent"? And after they discover the person is innocent, not once do they go back and apologize!

They seem to believe it's easier to accuse everyone in the hopes that the guilty person will just cave. They resort to actually doing some work only if that fails.

All three CSI's are GUILTY of this.

Oh, and did anyone notice that at the beginning of this weeks episode the 28 year old baby sitter opened the front door only to find her dad bleeding and collapsing to the entrance way floor, but later he died outside in the back yard?
I realize they often show different versions depending on who's telling the story, but the beginning is always where they show what really happened as it's not being told by a suspect.

Likely a typo, but Leighton Meester is only 20, turning 21 in April.

The dad died inside and the mom died outside in the backyard.

Something was wrong with last night's episode.
Horatio didn't pull his gun or shoot anybody, is he getting soft in his old age ?

I don't know about that, but the interaction between H and the 'stripper' was a bit creepy ...

I think all of H's interactions are a bit creepy....

Despite all the criticism, CSI: Miami continues to dominate the time period.

In last night's fast national overnights it earned just about the same number of viewers (17.235 million) as the ABC and NBC shows combined (17.272 million).

People may be watching it for a variety of reasons (and spotting bad acting could well be a major one!) but they are watching it.

Jim Carrey does Caruso (http://youtube.com/watch?v=glvGfQnx3DI)

Speaking of noticing things, how come no one ever mentions the show's attitude of "guilty until proven innocent"?

IANAL (but my father is), but last time I had jury duty, the judge told us that presumption of innocence doesn't begin until until the trial begins, not before. Otherwise, how could the police ever arrest anyone?

Suspecting someone, and accusing them of murder just because you don't like them are not the same thing.

Anyway, how did those guys get bear bait inside their jackets? If it was from the hunter putting it on the trees (transfer to their jackets) then thats just stupid. This would have happened before. Did they ever offer another explaination?

I don't know about that, but the interaction between H and the 'stripper' was a bit creepy ...
Come on, you know H can't resist the latina hotties ;)

I liked how Delko reached out to the women, very thoughtfull.
The end, with the other women getting high and shaving her head was odd. It just seemed like the britney spears decision about her hair.

Just curious if anyone else noticed that Delko's right ear is see through..... :D

At around the 31 minute mark Delko is talking to H in the lab....and the lighting behind Delko was SO ODD that his right ear was translucent!!! Either the lighting has never highlighted anyone's ear that much or I just NEVER noticed it until this episode....damn funny!

Tomorrow is the season premier. The episode is number 122 and titled "Dangerous Son"

MAybe they'll kill off H and get someone who isn't so melodramatic to play the lead. Eh, that's too easy. I'll watch anyway.

What was everyone's impression of the new season? A lot of changes have been (some of them are carry overs from the very end of last season) and all of them are bad.

(1) Replacing Frank with Jake as the detective. Bad idea - Frank just doesn't look right in a patrolman's uniform and the Jake character really has nothing to add to the show that I can tell. I realize that Frank actually moved up in rank, but this will probably lead him to only introducing and alerting Horatio of new crime scenes.

(2) Delco becoming obsessively jealous over Calleigh. This is a carry over from last year but it is still a bad idea.

(3) Keeping Ryan on suspension. Again, a carryover from last year, but it is hard to see this plot line going in a desirable direction. Is the Jake character going to be a de facto replacement for both Frank and Ryan?

(4) Yellina as a private detective. This isn't that big of deal, but it does seem sort of a useless role.

(5) Introducing Horatio's son. Nothing good can come of this.

Any idea if the actors that play Frank, Ryan and Yellina asked for more of a part time role?

I am pretty sure in cop land wearing a uniform is always a demotion after being in plain clothes no matter how you spin it. :) Plus, really don't like Jake as a main character on the show, think he has been used too much as a guest star.

(2) Delco becoming obsessively jealous over Calleigh. This is a carry over from last year but it is still a bad idea.


Typical CSI type thing to make you think something is there between two characters but don't actually let you know whats behind it.

Sure seems like they are trying to write him out of the show, but if they were going to do that they would have done it already, I suspect something is going to happen that will redeem him and he will be back in the fold.

(4) Yellina as a private detective. This isn't that big of deal, but it does seem sort of a useless role.


I like her character but agree, not sure what this role does to add to the show.

Poor kid, he's a goner for sure, anyone directly related to H always dies :)

I can’t complain much about the plotting of the new season. It was silly before so the most recent changes can’t possibly make it any sillier. Still, I watch it because the preposterous lines David Caruso’s has to read and his actorish posturing tickle me to death. Being able to enjoy the show’s glorious cinematography and its inherent silliness are enough for me. Bring it on! :)

To end on a serious note, I can’t think of another TV show that is as beautiful to look at.

That's pretty much why I watch the show as well, to see how ridiculous Caruso can get, but especially for the images and they way they present them, this show has some of the very best HD PQ available.

Not to give Caruso too much credit, I think that the perfectly awful Emily Procter, as Calleigh, is just as much fun. To see a beautiful but untalented actress-of-a-certain-age with a can’t-cut-it-with-a-knife North Carolina accent trying to portray a smart, serious, senior CSI investigator is almost as much fun as watching Caruso chew on the scenery.

True, I really get a kick out of the 3" heels, the almost exposed breasts, and the beautiful, long flowing hair as they lean over a body to collect samples. :p

The characters in this show are practically cartoonish, but that actually makes for a better show, depending on your POV. The only thing that would be lost if this show were done as a comic book would be the HD imagery. :D

Am I alone in thinking that, with each passing episode, the HD picture becomes less and less flattering to Ms. Procter?

Thing is, look at some of the (likely retouched) magazine articles with Emily Proctor. Positively gorgeous pictures. Oh, I think CSI:NY is just as beautiful, but the cinematography gives it a grittiness that I actually feel works for being New York City. It just works.

I also do NOT like the character of Jake, I just don't care for him. He's almost as slimey as the Eckeley dude from Vegas, but in a more subdued way. It may make for a good show, I just hope it doesn't take away from Frank's screentime- I like the guy.

Frank is one of my favorite characters, I hope as well his screen time is not diminished.

Finally watched Monday's episode.
Great season opener.

I also agree that Frank is cooler than Jake.

Not only do I not like Jake, he seems to have some sort of weird 'lip' issues....it's freaking my wife out and now that she's pointed it out to me, I can't 'unsee' it.

it's been bothering me for a while now. looks horrible on my 112" screen. :eek:

What's up with Frank's new hair do (or lack there of? )

The chrome-dome of Frank will take some getting used to. That lip thing on that Jake guy is extrememly distracting for me. I think it may be a remnant of some sort of Cleft-palate surgery or something from the looks of it so trying not to be cruel about it. It is hard to focus when he is onscreen though.
Not sure where they are going with H and his son, curious about that storyline. Never liked that Calleigh character so I couldn't care less if the got rid of her, she has one of the most annoying voices on tv. They better find a way to tie these plotlines together cause it all seems too disjointed right now and leading nowhere. Time will tell. Still magnificent scenery and sound though, which keeps me coming back.

Yeah, I noticed.
It seems that a lot of hairstyles has changed during this new season.
Cold Case to CSI Miami and NCIS.

What's up with Frank's new hair do (or lack there of? )
Yeah, I had been thinking about that before I saw your post. I have always thought of Frank as the grouchy detective from central casting. Thus, it will come as no surprise that I found his transformation to a bullet headed “harness bull” a little jarring, even if he has been promoted to sergeant. What was that jarring transformation all about, anyway?

I don’t really care much about what they do to Frank’s character, though. As long as the show continues to be as visually stunning as it is, Horatio continues to posture, and Calleigh still whines in her North Carolina country girl accent, I’ll be a happy camper.

Yes you got to love the PQ of CSI Miami, Horatio's mannerisms and the CSI girls in stilettos at a crime scene. :D

Yellina looked different to my wife and I. Did she have (face) work done recently?

It’s true, the female CSI techs always seem to go to work dressed as if they have come directly from a cocktail party.

In keeping with this TV season's trends, plus Miami's cartoon-like coloring, maybe four of the CSI's could undergo a mysterious transformation. One will instantly regenerate if shot; another 'hear' criminal's thoughts; pass through walls; telekinesis, etc., etc. -- John

Even if they did give the show's stars superpowers, I might not notice. :)

The show is, indeed, wildly unrealistic. Everything from its cartoonishly vivid colors, which I like nonetheless, to its preposterous characters bear little if any relationship with the real world. Still, its sheer silliness makes me laugh.

What was everyone's impression of the new season? A lot of changes have been (some of them are carry overs from the very end of last season) and all of them are bad.

(1) Replacing Frank with Jake as the detective. Bad idea - Frank just doesn't look right in a patrolman's uniform and the Jake character really has nothing to add to the show that I can tell. I realize that Frank actually moved up in rank, but this will probably lead him to only introducing and alerting Horatio of new crime scenes.

I don't think the move up will see Frank only operating out the patrol car. I think that Jake dude is taking over Wolfe's spot. Plus he is dating Callie so he has a budding storyline.


(2) Delco becoming obsessively jealous over Calleigh. This is a carry over from last year but it is still a bad idea.

Funny how two people can view a situation in different ways. I didn't take is inquiry about the vacation as a sign of jealousy. I took it as though he was sincerly interested in how her vac went and if she's kickin' it with Jake. If you noticed at the end of last season, Delco and Callie seemed to have a pretty strong friendship.

(3) Keeping Ryan on suspension. Again, a carryover from last year, but it is hard to see this plot line going in a desirable direction. Is the Jake character going to be a de facto replacement for both Frank and Ryan?

I agree that Wolfe's storyline isn't going anywhere. The producers prolly have to finish paying dude so they'll prolly putting into a couple eps to finish out his contract.

(4) Yellina as a private detective. This isn't that big of deal, but it does seem sort of a useless role.

I'm not feeling this. I like looking at her but this is a somewhat one off sort of plot device in my eyes.

(5) Introducing Horatio's son. Nothing good can come of this.

I like it but I don't see where this one can go if the buy is locked away for his crimes, which he should be.

Any idea if the actors that play Frank, Ryan and Yellina asked for more of a part time role?

No sure but Yellina has had a major role on the show in about 2 seasons so this par for the course with her character.

To end on a serious note, I can’t think of another TV show that is as beautiful to look at.

I'll give one of my new favs for the new season, "Gossip Girl" on the CW. The image is beautiful, not as colorful as CSI Miami.

Not to give Caruso too much credit, I think that the perfectly awful Emily Procter, as Calleigh, is just as much fun. To see a beautiful but untalented actress-of-a-certain-age with a can’t-cut-it-with-a-knife North Carolina accent trying to portray a smart, serious, senior CSI investigator is almost as much fun as watching Caruso chew on the scenery.

Now, I agree with you 1000% on this. She's nice to look at and the accent adds a certain touch, but I can't take her serious. Not b/c she looks good or has a southern accent b/c Frank has one, but I can't take her serious b/c her acting skills aren't up to par with the rest of the cast. She is from Raliegh, NC btw. I just wish we had more women that looked like her here.

True, I really get a kick out of the 3" heels, the almost exposed breasts, and the beautiful, long flowing hair as they lean over a body to collect samples. :p

The characters in this show are practically cartoonish, but that actually makes for a better show, depending on your POV. The only thing that would be lost if this show were done as a comic book would be the HD imagery. :D

Don't forget about the women who examines the bodies "Poor baby". I prolly hate her the most b/c her time on the screen has become completely cartoonish. "Poor baby". :D

Not only do I not like Jake, he seems to have some sort of weird 'lip' issues....it's freaking my wife out and now that she's pointed it out to me, I can't 'unsee' it.

I got over the lip thing. I more upset with the freakin' metrosexual cowboy getup the dude was wearing. What was up with the freakin' vest?

Ok, 10/1's show hit a new low in realism. The trendy blogging/my space/secret video camera/archery plot was so outlandishly ridiculous, I don't know where to start! I like the visuals as much as anyone else, but come on.

Matt

The $2 million 'bust out' was silly.
That type of storyline was in the movie Swat.

Horatio told Aries Spears to protect his son in prison. Different races are not allowed to speak to eachother?

If H can unite the races as well as save innocent victims of crime on a weekly basis, I'm thinking that the 2008 season premiere will have him running for governor of FLA......:D

Good episode last night. Elizabeth Berkley is still pretty, she is so skinny

I am viewing this show by way of tuning into free, clear HD using my QAM tuner.
WBBMHDT @ 1080i

This show looks pretty good, not great as there appears to be a heavy "glow" on most shots. It apears intentional but almost as if the sequence is a dream sequence in heaven, that kind of glowing edges.

NOTE: This is my first HDTV, forgive me if I am not providing good descriptions of what I am seeing. I also have no way of doing a screen capture.

The episode is from 1/14/2006, Season 6 Ep 13.

Again, its not on everyshot, but I see it on most.

Are others seeing this?

Elizabeth Berkley is still pretty, she is so skinny

I didnt think she was looking too good. She has had so much work done on her face, that she almost looks like Tabitha Stevens (in the face, and blonde).

Good episode last night. Elizabeth Berkley is still pretty, she is so skinny
I agree that Berkley still looks good, although she still can’t act. She fitted right in, though, in a show where we deal with Caruso’s campy overacting and Emily Proctor’s painful lack of talent on a weekly basis. I love it! :)

Reminder:

New episode tonight. Episode titled "You May Now Kill The Bride"

Reminder:

New episode tonight. Episode titled "You May Now Kill The Bride"

I can't wait to see all the eye candy we haven been missing on this show.

New episode tonight.. "You may now kill the bride"

CBS is implying something happenning with "Hiphug" (Eric/Calleigh) couple, like a marriage.. but I don't think they are the ones getting married..

It was a very good episode... I didn't understand though, how the killer managed to aim that gun at a certain target w/o a camera or something? perhaps he pre-aimed at the place the victim would be based on a seating chart? (thus killing the wrong person)

So Calleigh looked nice with a veil and Delko's eyes were melting at that.. but how about him almost getting lapdanced? LOL

Okay, it was a new episode and as usual it was fun to watch. But I simply have to vent a few gripes here because they seemed to be over the top glaring this time.

I agree with you about aiming the gun. Especially when the showed the flashback of him installing it...in his white tux...right before the wedding.

Speaking of the elaborate wedding and the lifestyle...didn't they say they were minor leaguers?

And they apparantly solved the case in one day because everyone was wearing the same clothes. Even the targeted stripper who went home didn't change her clothes.

And on the first visit to the strip club...sorry...gentleman's club...they didn't shut it down to sweep the area.

And probably my biggest gripe...how can you put Caleigh around a stripper pole and not have her on it. I mean, on Without A Trace they did that with Roselyn Sanchez and I thought it worked VERY well!

CSI: Miami is one of my guilty pleasures. The stories are stupid and Caruso eats more scenery in a single episode than most actors consume in a career. The CSI girls wear skimpy designer clothes and look as if they are on their way to cocktail parties instead of investigating crimes. So what, though? The show looks and sounds wonderful, too, and it has more beautiful young women per minute than anything else on TV. What’s not to like? Nothing, it seems to me. Welcome back, CSI: Miami! :)

I forgot what was the rating of this episode, scenes from the "gentleman's club" weren't that revealing (girls were too dressed IMO LOL). The hottest scene was the stripper lapdancing the bride...

What they said about the minor leagues is that they met there (the groom and the best man), now they were on the majors, still the supposedly rich guys didn't have $20,000 to pay up a tab... which leads me to another issue... why the heck the girl is responsible if someone used a bad credit card? shouldn't the credit card company be responsible, wouldn't it reject the card right away? mmmm (did you see the tip? about $1,700.00?)

It was a very good episode... I didn't understand though, how the killer managed to aim that gun at a certain target w/o a camera or something?

You missed the part where they revealed the targeting chip/transmitter stuck on the back of the chair.

That is the way I see it

Ah...I missed the explaination of them meeting in the minor leagues and the targeting chip. I can't imagine what could have distracted me watching this show!

How about all the eye candy? there was plenty on this episode.... (well most episode have with Duquesque and Boa Vista... LOL).

There are some good police techniques shown on this show.

Every couple of weeks there is some male suspect in the police station being questioned by one of the female CSIs. The CSI always has a low cut top on, which is bound to distract the poor fool being questioned. The suspect usually gets an eyeful and then let go, until they can come up with evidence that nails him for the crime.

I'm sure after the 1st peep show, they just have to call him and ask him to come back into the station and he's there for more eye candy.

Saves the taxpayers all the expense of having to find criminals, handcuff them, etc.

With gas over $3/gallon, we need more criminals driving themselves to jail.

The dream Trio: Calleigh, Natalia and Yelina... yeah.... (although some like Alexx but she talks to the dead so..)...

As long as it's only talking...

Can you guys tell it's a slow day for me and I'm bored?

Especially when the showed the flashback of him installing it...in his white tux...right before the wedding.
I laughed pretty hard when I saw that. There were, what, 50 guests at the wedding? Plus maybe 10-20 support personnel? And the Rolls is parked in plain view of everyone yet it's just glossed over in a brief flash of him installing it. Did he stick it on with magnets or sticky tape?

This show is just so ridiculous and over the top...but I keep watching.

One thing I was reminded of when watching the episode was that CBS shows like the CSIs and Numbers have the best 5.1 surround of any shows out there.

Please....like the writers don't already know.

If they know then why no show of the 3 of them having a little fun. Without A Trace had a scene not long ago where the chicks had a kiss

Did he stick it on with magnets or sticky tape?

Duct tape! Bad guys always use duct tape! :D

Well, during sweeps let's just bring those gals down to Miami for a two hour episode?

Man, I'm good. If the writers strike again I'm thinking I can moonlight as a Scab!

They don't worry about the gas prices. The County pays for the gas! :)

How about all the eye candy? there was plenty on this episode.... (well most episode have with Duquesque and Boa Vista... LOL).

I wish they would show more of Boa Vista because I love seeing her assets.

I thought this episode, while looking/sounding fantastic, was the most sensationalistic in a long time. As mentioned above, the club wasn't shut down or even thoroughly checked; when they returned to the scene and found a single bullet fragment, the search was called off completely so the stars could return to the lab instead of a gopher taking it back. Hell, how does Cain arrive at any/every crime scene an hour before the team of investigators?
I'm done complaining and looking forward to next week- we also get new Vegas and New York's, too. :D

The beginning was in HD, but after it came back from the first commercial break, no more HD(Comcast HD-West Palm beach)..anyone else ?

edit: of course right after i post this it returns from commercials in HD

Elizabeth Berkley looks a little 'odd' in the face. Like almost too much botox. She is still pretty though.
Part 2 is going to be great. HD and DD 5.1 here in TX.

She has too many cosmetic surgeries, since her return on showgirls and now on a TV show, where's that teenager on saved by the bell?

OK, we know the guy in charge of the website but who has Calleigh in a trunk? and why let H roam around in Rio's streets with only a handgun with all the mafia looking for him? I guess we stay tuned tonight for the answer.

Valera also looks cute.. Boa-Valera-Duquesne, "Next to myself, I like BVD best"

Delko made a good move at the end. :p
H sure made it out easy as well. I thought this two part episode was good.

that was a quick visit to Rio, I guess he did the local cops a favor of killing that many members of "mala noche" with just a gun and one clip... nice...

Was this the season finale? I didn't see any more previews.

Hiphuggers are so happy now...

Was this the season finale? I didn't see any more previews.The Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch.aspx?id=csi_miami&view=listings) lists five more upcoming episodes, airing from 21 April to 19 May.

Nice.... So looking forward to that Hiphug follow up and Horatio's son and the hottie...

Alexx didn't appear in this last episode, did she?

Alexx had a scene in which she told Horatio that the poker player had been poisoned and that she had found a cigar butt in his bullet wound.

Part 2 was a let down. You would think with 3 months off, the writers would have had more than this. Was the whole Rio thing REALLY needed? It didn't advance the story at all (really dumb, it just got H out of the town for 24 hours and nothing else) and just added one day to the story line, which I guess in Miami if you look fabulous today, you wear the same clothes tomorrow! That bright yellow shirt and tie Wolfe had on ran through both parts! I DVR'ed both parts and watched then at the same time as one episode and the no change of clothes REALLY stood out. LAME!! Fire the Continuity Director! The only ones who should have NOT had a change of clothes, Callie (she was abducted) and H who just got a free trip to Rio.

I couldn't agree with you more very disappointing especially after the 1st episode was so good I thought anyways

Mmmmm 14 million viewers on Tuesday... .0000000001% post here LOL..

This thread should be bigger IMO...

Double epi on April 21st? keep the doubles coming!

Interesting how H was like 6 for 6 or 7 for 7 at the beginning of the episod, but at the end of CSI: NY the gun battle with Gary Sinese's character and the professional assasin, they each fired a few clips and only had one hit. WTF? I don't know why I keep watching any of the CSIs due to the high number of "whatever!" moments.

That's just it. CSI: Miami is oddly alluring to me mostly because of its high level of unbelievability and interesting style. The intro in the last episode was so corny with Horatio's impeccable aim while a remix of a song from the Once Upon a Time in the West soundtrack was playing in the background. I criticize this show a lot, yet I keep coming back for more. :p

Yeah. What he said!

I'm not a fan of any of the CSI shows but I did watch the 2 parter. I'm just curious, does this show have a habit of dangling storylines? I don't get why start the story of the boy's mother in the 1st part and have part 2 have nothing to do with her?

Eye candy show indeed, notice how the DNA experts (Boa and Valera) don't use masks or hairnets (no wonder evidence gets compromised), Calleigh also investigates crime scenes and she never sheds a single hair.

These 2 were written differently than usual. These were right after the writers got back off of strike so maybe they didn't feel the "the ying and the yang" yet. The second part was DEFFIANTLY not their best effort.

It is a beautiful thing.

Really gave away the "California filming" tonight. Check out the registration decals on the jet skis.........along with the "causeway bridge" sign. They are getting lazy! Scripts are getting weak also, but, the "eye candy" still works for me......:p

CSI: Miami just lost a HUGE chunk of eye candy by losing Alexx. If Caliegh goes next, it's doomed as far as eye candy. But they still have Horatio. Horatio Caine (turns, puts on sunglasses, poses) is the man!!

Yeah, that bridge was the same one they tried to pass off as being in Miami in an episode of "Dexter".

The writing is getting worse, which I didn't think was possible. Seriously, throwing a flatstone from a bridge, trying to hit someone on a moving jet ski, with the intent of killing them...that was their plan for killing someone?? Are you freaking kidding me!? There aren't about 2 billion easier ways to kill somebody??? And Alex's son, while she's talking to him in the holding cell, the kid acted like he was mentally challenged, "uh...you mean they're going to send me to jail?" Wow...the writers have to be writing this as a cop show parody as they can't honestly think these ridiculous storylines are even remotely close to being believable.

It's nice for the visuals though...

I thought the same thing, Is Alex's kid retarded?
Alex: What are you doing with that knife in your hand?
Kid: Nuthin'
Alex: Who gave you those drugs?
Kid: Whut?

And you're not kidding about the whole planning out of the murder. Did they think it was going to look like an accident that a piece of slate fell from the sky? Who would ever actually think that up in real life as a way to kill someone? They didn't think to drown him or run him over or stab him (and leave the knife sticking in him)? Lately at the end of each episode I ask myself, "Why do I keep watching this show?" I think I put more effort into watching it than the writers do writing it.

I'm glad Khandi Alexander is gone. I loved her in "Newsradio" but couldn't stand her in this show.

Alexx did look good all the episode, even with her worried expression and all.

We still have Calleigh, Boa Vista, Valera for some eye candy, don't worry about it..

I wonder if they bringing back Yelina... haven't seen her since the Brazil episode..

Glad I DVRed this week's episode so it was easy to bail out half way through. A first here; believe I've watched all the Vegas/Miami/NYC episodes before this. -- John

I keep forgetting that this show does follow 4 CBS comedies, so CSI:Miami must make for a complete comedy Monday on CBS.

That is some news. I have always thought she was pretty.

i don't think csi:miami is going off, is it?

Interesting addition to her acting resume, "I was the Medical Examiner on CSI:Miami for 17 seconds".

I guess my prediction was right about the new ME, poor girl...

and Caine... nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! (we all know he survives or the series is over, it's like Killing House on "House")

Was it me or were lots of folks dressed in shades of purple towards the end of that episode? Males, Females, birds, bums, hell I think I saw Barney and 4 Minnesota Vikings in the background at one point....

I love how even Caruso's twitching on the ground is tense and overacted :)

"You'll be dead before then...." I love the "new, angry H".

Screw Dirty Harry....now there's Dirty H......oratio.....:rolleyes:

I thought the most startling part of the last episode was just how much cleavage Billavista revealed when she bent over while wearing that deep "V" top. Who knew?

Yeah, Delco is having enough trouble handling his job after getting shot in the noggin. Staring at those puppies sure wouldn't help his concentration.

Guess they don't have a real strict dress code in that police dept.

Yeah the fact that the CSI's and ME's wont use masks, hairnets, etc on the crime scenes and labs says a lot, I guess their hair and saliva won't even leave their bodies while doing their job

I guess the eye-candy factor is a must, Imagine Boa Vista with hair net, mask and scrubs/overall? I can't LOL..

So sad that they killed the new ME, she was looking so good for the 30 secs she was on screen..

Short of her whackinging them in my face I'll take the HD and in color

What about Liz Berkeley's rack? also good in HD and up close ..

Again if H is dead then CSI Miami is over... CBS, that's the only string that holds me to your network, don't cut it!!!!

Story wise H should be dead, bullets that are one shot one kill like they said, they penetrate body armor, when in concact with heat they frag, so it's like taking 5-6 shots at once, so survival if he was shot with one of those is almost zero.. so if he lives he must have been shot by his son, he was loading a regular gun with regular bullets.

Or perhaps he took in in the kidney that he had donated before to his father and the bullets and frags just went thru and thru (wait that's another series)

Ok I will take hers as well maybe both at the same time

What about Liz Berkeley's rack? also good in HD and up close ..



Hers are nice too. But I liked her better back in Saved by the Bell, but that could be because that was on when I was growing up and I have seen every episode multiple times.

So I guess the CSI Miami promos came true, with the glasses with a bullet hole in the right eye, I bet they used the same props for that scene...

I was thinking when the promos air "when those glasses are broken like that, I guess they killed H"...

I wish i had some screen shots..

Short of her whackinging them in my face I'll take the HD and in color
i'll tell you what let me bury my nose in the valley and let those mountains beat me senseless.

Couldn't have said it better

I never really watched this show until this season. I like it. The woman are hot, its over the top and we have all the David Caruso'isms. But I just caught a 2002 episode on A&EHD and was shocked by the differences. The camera shots are way different almost video vs film. H talked much louder and fast (or normal) even Alexx talked...normal. And Caleigh, is that even the same woman as the Caleigh I know from this season?

What is the deal with all the change? I am not complaining. I am more curious because from my observance the change is pretty drastic.

The visual look of the show has evolved/devolved depending on one's point of view. Caruso has gone way over the top, they've tried making Adam the right hand man (but not very effectively), they killed off speed, brought in the weasel Mr. Wolf, and sent Callie to the fat farm.

The directors/DPs/Editors have gone NUTS with trick shots that make the screen very busy, but not much else. :-)

(...) they (...) sent Callie to the fat farm.What do you mean by that? Are you saying that you think Calleigh's lost weight? Gained weight?

She's fluctuated a bit season after season. She's currently in thin mode. But there was one season (3 i think) where she may have come close to negating her contract :-)

I'm not complaining of course, I prefer a little extra. Just making an observation.

I know what you are saying but for me, when I first starting really watching this show, this season, this was the season that gave me the first impression of her. When I saw this 2002 episode, it was her face and hair that was so drastically different for which stood out to me. I think she must have had some cosmetic surgery as well.

For me, she is way hotter now and not so much in a thin vs heavy situation, but from the beauty I see in her face.

Of course, her body is not so bad either :D

Season opener is this Monday.
Hopefully, I'll have power by 9:00 PM tomorrow (No power, Ike.)

I knew he was in 'hiding'.
Due to my friends taking me in, I got to watch it last night! (although, in SDTV.) Still better than not watching it at all.

The title of the ep kinda gave it away don't ya think?:D

I knew he was in 'hiding'.You would think he would at least wear a hat to cover up that red hair.

And how does $10M in cash fit into a briefcase?

And how come the bullets didn't ignite when the ship caught fire?

And...

stupid episode why was the detective sitting in the back seat of the police car,and the prisoner in the front seat? I knew then the bad guy would escape.

Said the same thing. The shrapnel would have killed everyone.

Same with me. I even said he better handcuff the guy to the steering wheel:cool:

stupid episode why was the detective sitting in the back seat of the police car,and the prisoner in the front seat? I knew then the bad guy would escape.There was a reason for that. They were driving around in gang territory making it seem like the criminal was ratting the gangs out---the idea was that before the gangs saw the criminal guy, he would cave in and tell the cops what they wanted to know.

I haven't watched the entire episode yet but what is up with Callie's lips??? They look terrible!!!

I watched just enough to confirm my suspicions that Horatio faked his own death.

How dumb do they think we are anyway? David Caruso headlined the credits as usual, a dead giveaway that he isn't dead.

What?
People watching CSI:Miami for gripping plots and high caliber acting!
<shades off>
You don't say!

:D

Anybody who is not willing to suspend belief to extraordinary levels has no business watching CSI: Miami. The plots are ridiculous, Caruso's performances are more over the top than any I have seen since Jack Lord in Hawaii Five-0, and Emily Proctor is nearly 40, can't act, and talks and acts like a post-teen. What the hell, though, the show looks great and has a lot of laughs, even if most of them do come in the wrong places.

No kidding, who would believe that the boat would blow up with Cane being 15 feet from it and all he did was duck a little bit. And somehow that guy escaped.

Plus, Mythbusters totally debunked that shooting into the propane tank causing an explosion myth. It required a lot more firepower than what H was using.

I know, I know, still, I love it! :) There aren't many shows as campy as CSI: Miami that actually work but this one does, somehow.

You're forgetting H's super-powers. He can appear and disappear. Perhaps he can make himself intangible, also.

In the season opener, he met Eric at that parking garage. When Eric calls out for him, H appears from behind the vehicle even though it's out in the open. Where'd the guy come from? Also, he was able to get inside the POLICE station without anyone knowing he was there except for Eric.

Most crime dramas require some suspension of reality but this show should be labelled as sci-fi.

All these reasons, I guess are why I watch the show. As you said, it's a sci-fi show!

In addition, I'm starting to think that Caruso has tapped into the Karl Childers method of acting that Billy Bob Thornton used in "Slingblade". That's who Caruso reminds me of with his head tilting, facial mannerisms and low key talking.

Good stuff....keep it coming!

So, will Elizabeth Berkeley still appear in the show? if the son card is played more I would thinkg so, but then we have Yelena, If I was on Horatio's place I wouldn't know which one to choose.. LOL

Berkley continuing on the show would certainly make sense. As a gorgeous lady of a certain age who can't act, she would fit right in. :)

Gorgeous? Berkley was gorgeous about $100K in plastic surgery ago. Her face is completely ruined.

Ugh.


Oh, and Caleigh's lips are awful, too.

roland6465 -- At my age my standards for what amounts to gorgeousness in an older woman are no doubt different than yours. I live with it and suggest you do the same.

I think Yelena also has some lip work, what's up with that? all actresses doing their lips nowadays, they look horrible, I think the only one "natural" is Eva La Rue or isn't she?

I find nothing wrong with Berkley's face, or body for that matter? :)

She just looks fake. IMO, plastic surgery makes one look worse 90% of the time. Nothing she's done to her face or body has been an improvement in my eyes.

New ME looks nice.. Doesn't anybody ugly get hired at CSI: Miami? Everyone is perfect there..

Just wanted to note the CSI: Miami reruns as a part of the syndicated CSI: Weekends are now being shown in HD on WCBS-DT.

Yes another hottie joins the cast, she isn't still on the openning credits so we don't know if she would stay, another Eric's love interest? (even Natalia seems to think so)

New ME looks nice.. Doesn't anybody ugly get hired at CSI: Miami? Everyone is perfect there..Anyone else think she looks (and sounds) like Halle Berry?

Was gas really $4.99 down there?

She's had work done on her breasts.

She's nice to look at. But she was nice to look at on 'The 4400', which was on USA. She appears to have lost some weight b/c you can see how really skinny she is as she exams the guy on the beach.

Was gas really $4.99 down there?

Uh, no!

Was gas really $4.99 down there?

I think they were expecting gas prices to continue to rise when this episode was filmed. Plus the high price makes it look more reasonable that people would go out of their way to steal it.

Didn't she also play Hyde's sister on That 70's Show? I want the 'fro back on her. She rocked it.

David Caruso doesn't count?

seriously, when you got an office as posh as any billion dollar corp.'s HQ, you better hire some good looking employees to go with it!

or what about Tripp?

Was I hallucinating or did Victoria Secret run their fist HD commercial tonight?
Around the 47 minute mark for those with DVRs.

Giggity Giggity!

I think the episode last night could very well possibly have been the worst CSI episode ever.

missed a few episodes, whats going on between Eric and Calleigh? This show is getting like a soap opera. workers can't keep their hands off of each other..Wasn't Eric seeing Natalia?

Seemed like a 'fuzzier' production this week; (man with two wives). Looked like they slapped some extra filtering behind the camera lens, making most shots softer. Puzzling since about last week a lot of shots seemed to have noticeable 'deep focus'--keeping objects in the background in focus. Wonder if they're switching photographers or equipment? (WCBS-DT via NYC's TWC.) -- John

Right. They kissed on the last episode, I think.
It's like.. their inlove with each other, but don't want to progress things into a serious matter.

Tonight's episode will feature that Russian? mobster again. Andrew Divoff (Ivan Sarnoff)

Ron Saris is back from the dead! ha

Viewed the doctor-in-the-chipper episode--a new grisly high!--on a new plasma (Panny TH-65VX100) and decided CSI Miami will need a special memorized color setting, assuming upcoming shows are similar. The familiar cartoonish color required lots of toning down. But everything was crisp and focused, perhaps with less camera filtering; something I wish other producers/cinematographers would emulate.

Which reminds me of cinematographer Nestor Almendros's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000743/) ( "Days of Heaven," etc. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077405/)) comment in "Visions of Light: Art of Cinematography," a documentary periodically aired on the Ovation network, (and on DVD). "The moment I start seeing a movie that has a fog [diffusion] filter," he said, "I usually stay about 10 minutes and I leave. I think that's enough." -- John

So.. is Dr. Tara Price really gone from the cast?
I wonder if they will find a replacement for her.

I would think so, or they can pull a "wolfe" she does rehab and comes back, although the damage she may caused Horatio would be unforgivable.

Another show's season that ends in a nuthouse.. mmmm if there was a wedding it would be ridiculous (Calleigh and Delko perhaps?)

Umm I believe the season finale is next week.

Then a "wedding" is possible? I think that's the only thing left to wrap-up in the show now..

This season finale was more "Eventful" than CSI's was.

So what, Calleigh Duquesne shot Eric in the chest? ha
I hate to be continued season finales, you gotta wait all year to see what happens.
(Unless this was made to be a "I wonder" type of episode.)

I'd like to see Zack from Bones do it. I would absolutely kill to see at the very beginning of the show Horatio look away and ask Zack "who is this person" and Zack go "How do I know?"

See from a recent Variety article (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005455.html?categoryid=2522&cs=1), mentioned in a cinematography forum, that they'll shoot CSI: Miami digitally (DV) for the upcoming season. It's for cost savings, and many other dramas are switching from film, too, according to the article.

It'll be interesting to see whether DV capture and post processing will deliver Miami's familiar extra-saturated color. My preference: drop most of the camera filtering, go for deep focus more (don't defocus backgrounds), and down-convert from 4k+ shooting to boost effective resolution as much as possible. It'll be a struggle, but suspect I could still follow the story line. -- John

Outside of D.C., we have lost channels 7 and 9, due to the wonderful digital TV transition. Tried amplified antennas, but no luck. Will not put up an outside anenna. What a ripp-off. Going to cable, eventually.And what exactly does this have to do with CSI: Miami???????
