Haven't we seen this plot before in anoither show? I think it was L&O: SVU. The one acts out a video game by killing a woman and racing off. Didn't much care for the plot here guys. I likwed the episode last week when Wolf got it in the eye with a nail gun :cool:

Is it me? Or is Calleigh Duquesne extremely hard to understand? She speeks very monotone and softly. I can't understand her at all. I liked her MUCH better in West Wing.

One redeeming quality of this show is Horatio Cane. His character has gotten much better. Maybe his vision is better...he doesn't remove his glasses or squint nearly as much as he used to. Caruso is one of my faves. And as far as leads in all the CAI's, he has improved the most IMHO.

PQ of last night's show was OK. I also notice that the sound fluctuates wildly. I'm always holding on to my remote to change volume.

Tuned this in while DVRing Medium's 3D episode for viewing today. An exciting episode. Seemed too fantastic at first, until recalling all the high-school mass murders preceded by excessive 'game' use. Glad to see they excluded most bizarre color or other technical manipulations for this episode, although, from posts here by a former CSI cameraman, some type of behind-the-lens film filtering seems SOP for production. Audio fluctuations? No problem here. I often sacrifice Dolby 5.1 for plain stereo, running all TV audio through a vintage compander (dbx 119) in my hi-fi system that simultaneously boosts and shrinks audio levels--with an added kill switch for commercials. -- John

I'd have to disagree about Horatio. I've only seen one epsiode of CSI:Miami (the first episode of the crossover which was concluded on CSI:NY). Pretty much every line he had was delivered horribly. Most caused me to actually laugh out loud.

I watch the show with my wife ("there's nothing else on," she says) and Horatio is one of the biggest drawbacks of the show to me. His lines and mannerisms are SO over the top. Plus (and correct me if I'm wrong) CSIs like Horatio usually don't lead the SWAT team through the door during an invasion, right? Last week, I actually got up and left the room because Horatio said a line that was just too laughable.

Typically, the picture is ok, but I don't like it when they get "filter-happy" and modify the color too much.

David Caruso is definately over-the-top with his acting. Sometimes an actor has the style necessary to carry this off (as with William Shatner as either James T. Kirk or Denny Crane) but Caruso does not.

CSI Miami dropped off my Season Pass list weeks ago but I did catch last night's episode in HD. The photography on the show is also over-the-top stylewise, always has been, but IMHO it's much worse this season.

Can't you take Horatio less serious? I find him entertaining much like I found Crockett from Miami Vice entertaining.

I don't know about the L&O episode as I don't watch it. Last week's plot was 'so so', but you could have guessed the Kid did it in the first five minutes.

It's you, Calleigh Duquesne is easy to hear and understand, but she's a soft spoken southern girl, maybe that's what you're having difficulty with.

Horatio Cane is the weakest link in CSI: Miami, he's the modern day William Shatner. Pontificating on the set, more with the looks and attitude he projects (view me, I am the center of attention, let no actor come before me.)

The volume is another issue, it's been this way with CSI: Miami from day one and I just wish they'd get a friggin clue about it. People have kids that are sleeping at that hour, you want to be able to hear the actors, and they BLAST the song in the intro/pan Miami skyline sceens.

RE: Plot ... it was the same as one from "Killer Instinct" a few (1 or 2) weeks ago ...

Sounds like there's a "mole" in the writing departments :D

Hi Guys!
Was watching CSI Miami last night & couple of times during the scenes where there is a loud musical score I heard some weird almost screeching noises from both surround channels. I am not sure if this was part of the musical score or my speakers. Happened only 3-4 times during the whole hour.

Is it just me or does the entire CBS Monday night HD lineup have the dialog WAY too low? It seems like I’m riding the volume all night.

Yep, I have the same problem. Always keeping the remote in my hand to adjust volume. Especially at the CSI: Miami music intro! It scares the kitty cat ;)

nc

CBSHD is always loud for me. It's easily 3-4 level settings above any other HD channel.

The CSIs (mainly Miami, in my opinion) have low speaking volume but they really crank it up on special effects. I keep my remote in-hand as well.

Funny you mention the intro, nashvillekat. When Horatio puts his sunglasses on during the intro, I know it's time to turn the volume down.

Getting into last night's episode, con't ya think Eric's thing was handled rather lightly? Not sure it was "dalt" with, but "H" didn't seem to upset about it. I like Eric, but BUYING pot is inexcusable. I gota believe there will be ramifications from this.

so what your saying is his Sister, the one who he bought the pot for. Should have bought the pot her self? Well if its for her, she might aswell buy it herself.. why get her brother, a policeman to do it..

Maybe b/c he wanted her to be safe, not to be hanging out with a drug dealer.
edit: not trying to sound mean.

Buying medical marijuana to ease your sister's chemotherapy pain isn't something I would expect a reasonable person to get their panties in a bunch over. I found it interesting that the a-hole from Internal Affairs finally admitted he was being petty because Horatio got the promotion he wanted. What a punk!

Edit for spelling

a-hole from Internal Affairs finally admitted he was being petty because Horatio got the promotion he wanted. What a punk!


Yeah, that was harsh.

What could Horatio do if Eric’s marijuana buy was caught on tape? Granted, Eric should be too smart to let that happen. But it opens the door to real world possibilities, those which all Jerry Bruckheimer shows fluff over or totally ignore.

I feel sympathetic to the medical marijuana cause, but don’t really know if it works any better than meds that are available. In the real world, of course, weed is illegal in Miami for any purpose. About Eric’s future as a caregiver for his sister. Did Horatio’s comments to Eric mean he should stop buying, or he shouldn’t get caught?

The original scene weeks ago when ‘nail-in-the-eye’ noticed cigarette papers in Eric’s kit was unforgettable. It led to a pretty clever plot twist, however blatantly framed it was to promote legalizing medical marijuana. Will the eye injury, then infection, lead to permanent eye damage and a change of jobs? Guess we’ll have to wait, to find out.

Finally, I liked hearing the punk internal investigator ‘fess up to his slimy revenge motives toward Horatio. Chalk up one for the good guys. But how likely would that ever happen in the real world?

I was wondering about that, if this show took place in California they could have just said he got the pot from a licensed pot club...but then it wouldn't have been a very good plot twist.. :D

I'm sure it happens quite often, just no one admits to being petty :-)

They're setting up a possible season finale: the dude from Internal Affairs shoots Horatio!!

Is it just me or are the characters on this show getting weaker and weaker? I mean, the plots and scripts were already lacking, but now everyone seems really artificial. It's like CSI:Alternate Dimension.

Perhaps there are too many CSI and "CSI-esque" shows on right now and it doesn't feel as "original" any more. I share your opinion, but not just with this show, but with all the CSI shows.

I think CSI has not changed a bit. Other than the cast and such.

(Something happend to my post. Was it a mod/admin job or was it my computers fault? I had to post it again b/c the mod/admin never told me about it.. so all i know my computer got kicked off line and my post was not sent to avsforum)

The worst I've heard on CBS is Yes, Dear. At least a 7 to 10 decible difference. So bad I took it off my Tivo after a couple of seasons.

one of the only reasons i watch CSI:Miami (other than the perfect hd pq) is David Caruso's completely over-the-top protrayal of Horatio. it's so hammy it's entertaining as hell.

Had anyone else noticed the abundance of commerciuals during last nights episode?

It just seemed like too many (more than usual).

Appeared normal to me.

The half-time commercials seemed to go on forever, but the other commercial breaks seemed more normal and maybe even shorter.

So, that keyboard they showed last night on the show, is that for real? I saw an e-mail floating around last week showing something like that, but it was showing some really small devices projecting the keyboard, much smaller than what they showed last night.

Whats with the Horatio "head tilt"? He always looks like hes going in for the make-out/kiss scene without a willing participant.

Oh, that just scratches the surface with H. He looked about 60 in the sunlight in HD too, and next to Delko's sister (HOT!!) looked old enough to be her Dad. Which he is, of course. But there's the shades on and off, there's the hands on hips, the whisper talking and an assortment of other vocal eccentricities.

I find Caruso entertaining, but I'm not sure he'd appreciate why, unless he's in on it and I'm the fool.

Yeh, noticed the mqny wrinkles he had, last night (must be all the swinting he does.)

Why do ya think he tilts his head all the time? He sure is odd looking at times. I still find the show to be very slick and very neat camera angles.

multiple times... i was laughing at that...

not that it has happened to me... (ducks for cover)...

man, too bad they are gonna kill that sister off... :(

I liked last nights episode were Wolf & Eric were *fighting* over the new lab technician.

Watched my first CSI-Miami episode and it reminded of why I don't watch network TV, the storylines or at least the way they present it are for people who list to be spoonfed...jello. I am not a brillant man but it tried my patience and I felt like I was being given the sham. I have often found most network drama to be less satisfying that a bad movie. The picture was damn good with it's fully saturated, almost hyper-realistic presentation, loved it. It made everything and everyone look that much more luscious.
Looks like they've got a winner for me.
HD+aerial shots+beautiful women+2 plot twists, see you next week.

So, launche, I can't tell, did you like the show or not?! :D

So, launche, I can't tell, did you like the show or not?!

I liked the visuals and overall presentation enough to endure the story telling. Maybe after I watch a few more episodes I'll settle into my rocker and slurp my jello like a good boy. But I hope it's not the same formula for crime solving every time. These investigators already seem to damn smart for their own good and that damn Caruso was down right smug, "I know you did it, I can smell the guilt through that fancy perfume you're wearing."

Just so you know, they always seem to know too many little things to be realistic, such as knowing what chemicals are in every pesticide or cough syrup. And for Caruso, I hope he is being directed to do some of those wacky little moves and sayings, instead of doing them on his own, but either way, they need to get away from some of those things.

My wife took quite a while to warm up to Calleigh Duquesne (they really spell it that way?!). Now, she really likes her. Don't know why it took her that long.

Yeah shes pretty

Maybe one reason some people (like myself) overlook those little inaccuracies is because they see the show more as "eye candy". I'm sick to death of Emily Procter and her very low toned voice, and even tired of those goofy sunglasses H. always takes off and puts back on again, just so we can see him squint. But, the fact remains that this show has excellent PQ, and great music! Also, the camera angles and how the camera "enters" a scene, I find very slick.

OK, I've been watching CSI: Miami for quite awhile now. Since we seem to be picking on Horatio's strange quarks, I've wondered this: Why does he call everyone by there first name, but Ryan is always referred to as "Mr. Wolfe" or just "Wolfe"? Does he not know his first name?

Because he's still the new guy?

You dare question Horatio's actions?? H can call people anything he wants. He is HORATIO!!!

I have to say I like the CSI and CSI: Miami. Yea there not the best in the plot department but for somereason I like to wach them. I think it's the eye candy part. It looks great on my SP4805.

whenever they pan the skyline on this show, I get a pretty bad shimmering effect on the buildings where the lines from floor to floor are very fine. anyone else see it?

I don't see it on other High Def CBS shows, seems like only this one.

Last nights episode was great. Wolf is gonna loose his eye sight!
I liked it when H saw wolf in the locker rooms punching the lockers.

OMG did Eric get the new lab girl pregnant? I watched the "Stay tune from scenes from our next episode" and the blonde girl told eric "I'm late." or something.
Awesome :p
The girlies, the one walking up the stairs in the white skirt..

joffer,
i see the shimmering effect a little bit.. doesn't bother me though.

yes, shimmering here too along with some other artificating. Regardless, the image quality on a 100inch screen is great and the colors on the show may be hyped out but look stellar.

A scene early on in the show when H is on the bridge and looks up at the person hanging - the bridge looks 3 dimensionsal! No kidding, the depth is remarkable. This detail is like I see on "Cold Case".

What makes this detail happen? The film, the camera, the production process? Can't other HD shows get this good?

nc

and i hear this girl talking about "i can't even tell a difference in CSI HD and reg. CSI"
I did not notice the 3 dimensionsal bridge.

I gues I should have said "almost 3 dimensional". I just meant that the picture had allot of depth and clarity. :)

I was disappointed not to see any of Delko's sister Marisol in this one.

She is --- quite attractive.

Similarly, I liked the skirts on the stairs at the college too. College gals sure didn't dress like that when I was in school!

They must have had the girls added digitally afterward, cause Delco didn't even look!

Oh, and I don't think Wolfe will loose his eyesight unless he or the powers that be want him off the show. :)

Perhaps this has already been noted...but does anyone else agree that Caruso is guilty of overacting his part? Talk about an actor pushing his voice...

This is the reason why I don't watch it, Caruso just plain sucks.

Yeah. Wolf won't loose his eye sight. that would suck if hes about to be kicked out of the show, i think his character is great.

Alana De La Garza (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1004211/)

his overacting has become well known...it's why some people WATCH the show. I was watching with friends the other night and we drank every time he put his sunglass on or took them off. Bonus shots if he said a horrendous one liner (plenty of opportunity).

Great looking show, but this fun little drinking game pretty much sums up all its problems.

My favorite is:

7. Drink for five counts when he’s talking and his head is tilted at a 45-degree angle. (Don’t forget to add another count if he has his arms akimbo at the same time.)

Many nice looking females - damn, eric, you are a lucky man.

Again, the one thing that I really find unique about this show is the way a camera enters a scene. Awesome camera angles!

Good episode last night. Glad you enjoyed the females Cat.

I love this show for the exquisite PQ, but am tiring of the same old story.

I usually watch about half of each episode and then delete.

What was up with H last night?? After reading about the H drinking game, my wife and I decided to see how many shots people would be taking. But he was really tame last night it seemed. Very few zingers, not a lot of arms-a-kimbo shots. (I did give him a point for his posing against the fence at the end of the episode, though.)

Well, at least the direction was over the top and the color saturation was extremely high so there was SOME consistency.

While I was watching CSI-Miami I had an idea. I knew that it would be dangerous, but I went ahead with it anyway. I picked up the remote and switched my HDTV to the "vivid" mode.

Whoa!!

After my retinas recovered I switched it back to my normal subdued settings.

I think that my couch got scorched.

Not much of H tonight. Guess there's a bunch of sober people.

Last nights episode was great.. PQ was fabulous (Almost like Cold Case)
HDTV & DD 5.1 here in Tx.

PQ was fabulous

Yep PQwise they hit a grand-slam out of the park (2/27) especially the overhead "establishing" shots of Miami ... WLKY-DT (OTA), 1080i x 1920, no-multicast, 5.1 sound ... 'HD the way it was meant to be seen' (applogies to MC and HDNet for borrowing their tag line.) :)

CSI:Miami is like a sunny version of the Matrix. Everything in the Matrix had a dull, greenish grey look. Everything in CSI:Miami has a over-saturated look.

Good episode last night.
I like that lab technician, she always wears nice pants, without a belt.
Maybe shes too thin to be wearing a belt.
PQ was great as always.
HDTV & DD 5.1 here in Tx.

More yellow and orange in the picture than most other times I've seen - saturated. Decent story, though.

I thought the story line was strange. Too many things got tied together last night.

4 people screwed up or did something bad, 2 people died, one person that died was one of the people that did something bad, but nothing was ever brought up about why she was doing that. The lady on the bike goes to jail for fencing stolen property as well as stealing it. The ex goes to jail for killing the jewelry theif, the business man goes to jail for killing his "date" and then dumping the body as well as forcing the girl to crash...... Oh and Horatio is the hero with the kid.

I think they tried to squeeze too much into one episode this time around.

I really wonder how much time and money is spent in production on lighting. Especially filters and such for the lenses. Each shot seems to meticulously planned out and well lit.

I can watch the show just for the Miami helicopter scenics alone.

The 'beauty' shots of Miami are shot separately as the actors are filmed in the Long Beach, CA area. I've seen the Boeing/McDonnell Douglas plant too many times now.

They've gotten creative with editing and wipes the past few weeks. Split screens and the like.

Really? I didn't know that. So, what, do they use extras and such for most of the distance shots showing the H2's going down the roads and over the bridges and such?

I was thinking the same thing. I think somebody got a new package for there AVID.

..... Oh and Horatio is the hero with the kid.

I always get a chuckle when H takes all kids in under his wing in the final scene. (He always seems to take someone under his wing at the end of just about every show, doesn't he?) I don't doubt that there are people out there who do such things, but I just have a hard time seeing his character do it. He always talks to the kids like he's a cross between Dirty Harry and Barney.

I took a hiatus from CSI:M for the past month or so, but watched it again last night. I really find the PQ and the camera angles, especially when they enter the scene - fascinating. But last night, I realized why I love this show so much...it's Horatio's dialog.

"...she's either dead or dying" "The bottom line is - that's not the woman on the phone"

Yes, it's the dialog or those one-liners that get thown out there by the lead character. Like Bill Shatner did/does - in TJ Hooker, or even in Star Trek. And also similar to the lead guy (George Prepard?) in "The A Team".

I digress... Getting away from CSI:Miami a bit made me realize that this show is entertaining as hell. Better than many shows out there that I'm just plain bored of.

nc

"...she's either dead or dying" "The bottom line is - that's not the woman on the phone"
nc

ha!

Yeah, it looked very good last night. I liked the opening shot of the girls sitting down.. With white pants ;)

I liked how Eric (delco) gave permission to Wolf to date that girl. I think the girl accepted the date b/c she wanted to get back at Eric for telling Wolf "Shes on the landing pad" or whatever he said. I remember her looking back at Eric when Wolf and her are on their way to their date.

Does anyone know, what kind of treatment Eric's sister was undergoing ? It was never mentioned on the show, all she mentioned "we have an appointment at 6".

She also mentioned she was stopping chemo.

i agree, i have the same question. i was wondering what was happening at the end of the show.

She is having Chemotherapy for cancer. She has had that for a while. What suprises me
is why is Eric not with here?

My take was that Horatio convinced her that it would be mistake to stop undergoing the chemo and she agreed to do so.

She is having Chemotherapy for cancer. She has had that for a while.

I thought so but she said she was stopping treatment and Horatio agreed. Quite confusing :confused:

Yes, Eric gave his blessing for H to date his sister. That whole H-Marisol exchange was confusing, I'm not sure what they were saying, especially H saying something about saving her, or there won't be anyone to save, I didn't understand that exchange in the hallway at all.

Here's my take. Marisol has cancer, and was scheduled for chemo. She told H she didn't want to go through with it, and H was initially very surprised and concerned. But then he defused things by telling her he supported her decision. It's apparent later she changed her mind and H was the reason. I think that's because there IS a relationship, and perhaps Marisol was concerned about the effect the chemo would have on H.

H seemed to say, in the exchange that is confusing, that there'd be no relationship at all if she didn't get the chemo.

They do go a long way to make a martyr/hero out of H, don't they?

ha i was so confused. I thought Marisol was Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos)

Yelina Salas is H's dead brothers wife.. right.
(Dead brother, not really dead?)

They do go a long way to make a martyr/hero out of H, don't they?

Actually from what I understand of the dialog, she wants to stop taking chemo because she wants to get pregnant and have a baby before she dies. She's afraid the chemo will hurt the baby, or keep her from getting pregnant.

Am I the only one who thinks Horatio's relationship with Marisol is about the most awkward looking thing on television? Whatever "attraction" she has for him looks like she's been hypnotized. I realize all women are attracted to H because he can save any woman at any time out of any situation without ever raising his voice or breaking a sweat, but H in a romantic storyline is like watching Gary Coleman as an action hero.

I don't care if H is in the scene or not. I want more Marisol!

I've got a fever --- and the only cure --- is more Marisol.

Marisol and H- "It Does"
haha. Good episode.

Funny I never noticed it before...Does David caruso or Horeation have a neck problem? He never seems to keep his head up. It's always tilting downward. I don't think it's a camera angle thing, it looks to me as if he has a physical abnormality or something.

Oh, well, in any case, I dd love last night's episode.

nc

He does always seem to "strike a pose" which includes the neck thing.

I thought last night episode really sucked. That was also the worst shark I've ever seen a make-up\special effect department make. It was a short-fat paper mache piece of crap. They should really be a shamed of themselves for that monstrosity.

Thae acting last night was also not up to par, very cliche and forced. Overall, even my 14 y\o daughter (who normally loves these CSI shows) even made several comments about all the above mentioned.

There's something odd going on here. Is this really a romantic relationship? Have we ever seen them kiss? Something's fishy here. Maybe he's really a father figure to her.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case it's true.

I seen something last night I seen a few other times and don't understand what it is.

At the very end of the show, the camera is close up on H's face. The camera shows different engles for just a second and theres a "FWAP" sound when the camera changes angles. Lately, I've seen this only when H talks to Marisol at the end of the show. Does anyone else notice what I'm sayin here? What is its significance?

Do an internet search for the "CSI Miami Drinking Game", then his poses will really jump out at you.

I love this show's consistency: over-saturated colors, excessive use of filters, H wearing black in Miami without sweating, etc...

Man, the relationship with Marisol is about the weirdest one ever on television. The only reference we've seen to them being a couple is when they talked for 5 seconds about having dinner together, now their talking marriage. Yep.

So did anybody else think the teenage girl was stupid for wearing the same clothes to the police station (TWICE) that she wore when she killed the guy? I understand being on vacation, but she could have took something out of her briefcase or bought something that WASN'T RIPPED. Too funny.

Yes, that whole thing was stupid. How 'bout the leg being pulled out of the "shark"? Somehow, I don't think that is what the leg would look like.

Yeah, the Marisol and H relationship is just 'clunky' for lack of a better word. Last night's episode just ended too weird for me. Marisol says something about marriage and H nods his head and says something about yes, marriage. Hey, you forgot, they did have that kemotherapy date that was wayyyy to weird. Too much! It seems like the writers are so desperate to put Caruso's character in a relationship. Last season and the season before last they had him dating his brother's ex-wife, a assistant DA and some other chick but thru out the course of those seasons. All of these relationships amounted to nothing. Now we're supposed to believe that after three episodes of dating this season, he is going to marry Marisol! Oh, okay! :rolleyes:

As far as H's poses, I've been watching this show since it debuted in the fall of 2002 and at the end of season one the producers started to let Caruso do his stupid poses. His most famous pose is the one at the end of each show where he is looking down, puts on his shades, looks up straight into the camera and places his hands on his hips; fade to black. This season he is doing that pose at the beginning of each episode after he hits the crime scene.

Once again, this show had some of the best looking woman playing extras in back to back week. Both weeks the women were scantily dressed. You gotta love it in hd. ;)

I continue watching the show for a number of reasons (gorgeous colors, gorgeous women, and often times interesting plots), but it definitely leads the shows I currently watch in "cheese factor". You should hear my wife whenever she joins me and Horatio does another Horatio'ism (let's call him the "head cheese", heh). I won't even comment at all on plausibility (as already mentioned - leading SWAT teams, barely outrunning collapsing buildings in a Hummer, etc). While some of this "implausibility" is in all of the CSI shows, it's way over the top in CSI:Miami (and the other CSI shows almost always allow me a good amount of "suspension of disbelief").

I call the color palette they use on the show "Lifesavers candy". Almost every episode I think of eating the (traditional) Lifesavers candy - oranges, greens, reds, in the exact same hues as the candy. Or at least that's the way it shows up on my projector. And I notice that every scene does it - all of the indoor shots (specially the lab lights / coloring), and even the outdoor "stock" scenes seem to have the oranges, reds, and greens slightly oversaturated. I must admit, though, that even if it's distracting, it screams "tropical, hot, humid, rainforest" to me, which is what I'm sure the show artists and designers were trying for.

I am still interested in the "mole" sub-plot (unless I've missed something and the answer is obvious), and will most likely watch until that is resolved. H and Marisol don't seem at all plausible, but stranger things have happened in real life ...

Cliff

Noticed at the beginning of the latest CSI episode about the cruise ship murder there was a shot of three cruise ships (Carnival) and a causeway. It was Interesting that the last ship was the SS Norway which had a boiler explosion in Miami several years ago and never returned to service and in fact has been scrapped I think in India. Just an editing glitch I guess.

wow, thats cool. never knew about the SS Norway.

Regarding the "mole" subplot: What about Marisol being the mole?? She has access to the lab via her brother. She's gotten close to H. Well, not that we've seen, but since they're talking marriage, we assume they're close. She's the perfect type of mole: one you'd never expect. Hey, it's a crazy, far-fetched theory, but is it any more far-fetched than a CSI who leads the SWAT team into buildings?

And the heavy colors, etc., I thought I saw an earlier post that said that CSI:Miami is the most popular of the franchise in the overseas market. I could see why. If other countries loved Baywatch, it's easy to see why they'd love CSI:Miami as well.

OK....who saw the ending coming? I'll brag and say that I called it right after Delco showed up.

haha
me and my friend were watching the episode and towards the end i told him.
"I bet Delco, the brother, will show up at the last minute." and he did.

At the very end, where the scope was focused in on H..
I wonder if its Ari (Rudolf Martin) from NCIS, the sniper that killed Kate. :p
(or, the person that Gibbs did not like.)

Are the people on this really so spupid as to wear the same clothes they wore during the crime they commited? Two weeks in a row now, the lady gets caught because of GSR, or in this week's case, filaments from the heat lamp that got thrown in the tub. How stupid.

Othee than that, this show was excellent.

I'm still enjoying H's head tilts. Ha, ha...funny :)

Yeah, they are sometimes stupid.

Darn, part 1 of the season finale is a great episode. Lots of action!
Delco's girlfriend Gloria is funny :p
Marisol died.. :(
Marisol was dressed very nice tonight.
http://www.starfileonline.com/output/ADLGA040518G100.JPG

OK. Funny episode.

1- The courtroom scene at the beginning was laughable. The guy swipes a gun and throws it to his accomplice and gets away? It's a good thing H was there to do the job of the cops in the courtroom.

2 - H, while standing in the middle of the street, takes out 2 guys shooting at him. Right.

3 - Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but did the lab tech (I can't remember her name) have her car windows broken in front of the police station? She seemed to walk right in to the building after noticing it.

4 - Gloria's "I can't believe I followed Marisol, went to a high point in a building, got out my sniper rifle, and had her in my sights" speech was HILARIOUS.

The writing on this show is AWESOME.

1) Yeah man, when the gun was being brought to the gangster, i thought 'this is not a good idea, somethings gonna happen and the gun will be fired' i was right :p It was silly indeed.

2) I thought H was gonna die in that shootout. Too many guys (3 or 4) against the single H.

3) Yeah i think Natalia had her car broken into in the parking lot of the police station. Gloria did not even care. Lab tech girl (Natalia Boa Vista) real name is Eva LaRue http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/0/0035c22762.jpg

4) She was a major stalker? Gloria Williams real name is Kim Director http://www.indiewire.com/ots/photos/onthescene_040506ipop_Kim.jpg

So Marisol died of the gunshot? or was it the cancer.
H told her something like "are you gonna stand me up for our date tonight" and she said something like "no" and then she died. Sad.
I hate cancer http://audizine.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

No, the bullet caused her death. It wasn't cancer.

Funny thing is, this is the most interaction that we've seen between H and Marisol. If we had seen more of this, the relationship might have been more believable. As it was, you knew she wasn't going to last since they dedicated SOOOO little time to the main character's love life.

Ohh ok.
Yeah, there was alot of interaction with them last night.

I thought last nights episode was one of the best I've ever seen. There were parts that weren't believable like H shooting 2 gang members in the middle of the street.

CSI:Miami has the best HD PQ compared to any other TV show.

I agree. Last night's episode was the best CSI: Miami episode I've seen since the show's inception. I'm gonna have to watch it again this weekend.

H and Marisol: lamest "couple" ever.
Marisol's death scene was probably the lamest ever on television. God, was that bad. And so now they can process multiple crime scenes and get results all in the same day??!!

I thought their "depicted" relationship (no kissing..at all, leaving her on her death bed to go to work, looking the other way when he talks to her) and a non event death scene were pretty typical for the demi god known as Haratio Kane. Why do I watch this show??Oh yeah, it looks good in HD!

Yeah, During the ambulance ride to take Marisol to the hospital he told her something like "I will never leave your side again' But 1 minute later, he leaves the ambulance and goes on a shooting spree to kill those gangsters.

"Parts" weren't believable? How about MOST? :-)

I'll add Wolfe missing the red substance on the wheel of the car he processed even though he removed the tire from it. How do you not notice that?

I know some of you really liked it (and I thought it did have some entertainment value) but the writing was just too outrageous for me. WAY too many "yeah, right!" moments in this one.

Wolfe- Maybe he missed the red substance because of his eye problem? .. Didn't he tell Eric why he missed it, i thought he said he was rushing or something.

haha yeah i agree. Way too many 'yeah rights'

CSI:Miami has the best HD PQ compared to any other TV show.

Agreed. It is flat out jaw dropping.

It seems as if the other 2 CSI shows at least strive for a little bit of realism and coherence as absured as their story lines can be, but the producers of CSI Miami have just given up and said lets just go for broke no matter how outrageous. Good show to demonstrate your high def TV to friends, but colors so saturated you almost need sunglasses to watch. Chas

My local affiliate started CSI: Miami 19 mins late and I DVR'ed it so I missed the ending. Can some one fill me in.
Thanks,

'spoiler, named the Mole of the Lab below'

H- "Were going to Brazil."
Great part 2 of the season finale.
I thought H was gonna kill that guy after he shot him in the leg and caused that weapon to fire crooked. The mole was Natalia Boa Vista, go figure. ha

Looking forward to the next season.

Big Trouble's a brewin' for H ... Brazil is where H's brother and family are hiding out (supposedly.) This is getting more and more like "Alias" by the episode. :D

I liked how the prosecutor lady was caught trying to frame the lab. What was she thinking??

I like Callie. Her interview with the FBI guy was priceless. She's one tough lady.

Did anybody catch the blooper in the first scene? After the grill is blown up by a grendade, we see a wide shot showing a fire underneath the grill. The grill is intact; the lid is closed and everything looks normal. There's even a small wooden or wicker table beside the grill that's untouched. VERY little damage considering a guy was blown about 10 feet away. When they come back after commercial, the grill is a mangled mess, as it should have been. Oops.

H and Eric are going rogue... Not that this is news to anyone, but we just took a hard left at "plausible disbelief!"

IT seems that every season H needs a nemesis. Now it's time to go to Brazil. I wonder if they build McBoeings in Brazil? The airport sequences have taken place at Long Beach airport.

It's amazing what a few beauty shots can do to set the locale of a show.

Yeah man, the prosecutor was so stupid for stealing that money.
Me too, Callie's interview with the FBI was the best IMO. She was indeed tough :p
Eric's interview was nice too, he got up and left.

I did not see the blooper.

The sunset when the prosecutor confessed looked amazing in HD. The colors on this show look stunning.

Great season finale. I didn't expect the mole to be Boa Vista. I was really hoping that she was going to back next season.

OK maybe this is just me, but I thought the subtitles were kinda hokey. Well, maybe not the subtitles themselves, but the way they were presented. Certain words bigger than others flying in from the side of the screen, some parts italicized, etc.

It was hokey. They could have just put the subtitles at the bottom.

I like CSI Miami and watch every week, but Miami Vice was a much better show. It comes on TV Land every night and I record it on my HD DVR and watch 4 or 5 episodes on the weekend. I love the 80's outfits, bright pastel colors on everything, fast cars, etc. I wish HDNet or some other network would buy those old shows and convert them to HD like they did with Hogans Heros.

It's not clear why there were any subtitles at all since they were speaking english. It may have been somewhat accented but not anything more than usual.

I was expecting more hot women in bikinis, like what the previews show.

I just started watching the show, but I think the season premiere sucks. It tried something new, but it failed miserably. Come on, the climax is a knife fight on a helipad?

The stories are always weak, I watch the show for the visuals, and tonight's City of God infusion was very nice, great images.

I noticed that Horatio, in pursuit of the person responsible for the murder of his wife, had time for sight seeing at the beginning of the show.

I also say no to a CSI getting in a knife fight. Maybe if I was watching CSI: Wild, Wild West it would work for me.

But Miami will still be my HD show of choice on Monday nights, while Studio 60 gets the standard definition DVR treatment.

Wait, there are people who watch this show for reasons other than David Caruso's laughable over-acting, or to see the M.E. talk to dead people? This is the best comedy on TV!

Weak episode as usual. The shots were pretty good but, oh, that color. I could tell that it's been a few months since I've watched oversaturated colors on a TV show.

I thought the same "tourist" thing about H, but I'll give him some slack on that one. I thought maybe they were setting up a inner conflict over what he knew he was going to do.

My MLM (most laughable moment) was when H met the killer outside the police station. I joked to my wife that H was going to disappear when a truck passes between them. I couldn't believe they actually DID it!!

Watching CSI: Miami once again last night proved why this is the best darn looking show in my opinion on tv. Absolutely beautiful. Remember when H killed that guy on the helipad, the camera pans out while he is looking at the statute of Jesus. Nice touch.

The visuals for this show are always great but the story line for this episode was weaker than normal for CSI:Miami.

This is the best comedy on TV!

Second best. The best comedy on TV is 'Lost'.

(From Marc Berman’s Tuesday, September 19, 2006, Programming Insider column at Mediaweek.com )
Primetime Ratings For Monday, September 18th

...At 10 p.m., season five of CBS’ a CSI: Miami lost steam, with a still first-place 11.7/18 in the overnights, 17.21 million viewers and a 5.7/14 among adults 18-49 at 10 p.m.. Last year (also on Sept. 19, 2005), it opened with a healthier 13.1/20 in the overnights, 19.21 million viewers and a 6.7/16 among adults 18-49....

Watched it OTA. Thought the Rio scenery was awesome.

Remember when H killed that guy on the helipad, the camera pans out while he is looking at the statute of Jesus. Nice touch.
Yeah it was a nice touch.

fredfa,
good deal.

CBS ought to spring for prosthetic device that could help Caruso keep his head up.

Now THAT is comedy. That is about the funniest thing I have ever read on a forum. caruso is a moron. What a condescending blowhard he is. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

Anyone else find it funny that H always asks the bad guys a question and when they do not answer he says something like " I am going to ask you again" then they answer right away!

Not really. I find it funny when he has to slip on his sunglasses at the end of every episode as he is placing his hands on his hips and looking somewhere with a distant glaze. I don't believe I saw this at the end of this weeks episode.

too bad miles didn't bring nim along. the drug dealer wouldn't have had a chance...

wow, first episode I watched this srason. Very slick! (Is it me, or does Horatio's head not slnt as much this year lol). Great PQ too!

Na, he is a Bobble-Head :D

I find the visuals on this show impressive, after I turn down the color intensity about 25%. I realize they do this for effect, but am I the only one that thinks the last two episodes where overkill?

Did anyone notice Calleigh Duquesne's nude thong shot?

When she climbed up on top of the sculpture and found the chipped tile? As she was lowered down there it was coming out the top of her pants.

So what is actually a nude thong shot?

I guess you missed it. Cali told Mr. Wolfe last night "Thanks baby" for some type of help he gave her. The M.E. may not have said "baby" last night, but she sure did have the 'cat eyes' going last night. I guess the makeup artist wanted to get 'creative'. I also find it funny how the only shirts and bras the M.E. seems to have in her wardobe are ones that push up her breasts and maximizes the cleavage to it's fullest potential.

So what is actually a nude thong shot?

They also make the shear thongs. I love when a woman wears a V-String. Ohhhhhh bagey and how!!! :D

Awesome music, awesome PQ.

I did notice something tonight. H is really good with kids. He comes off being extremely supportive. As goofy as he is sometimes, this quality does come out in his character.

Yeah, they've been playing his good with kids angle since the beginning of season 2.

I just KNEW that he would come to the rescue of that kid last night. Very predictable..much like everything else.

I started to wonder if last night's episode was the beginning of writing the Wolfe character out. Betting on the death pool? And his "so...what're you gonna do about it, missie??" attitude was really strange. Maybe that's why they had his sloooow motion entry into the episode last night along with that strange wavy motion coming off his back.

I still think H is dead.

Did that blonde girl (real name laura ?) make googly eyes at Wolfe last night? Kinda looks lkke she may have. Also, is Wolf's eyes still in question?

They haven't brought up the eye in the last 5 or so episodes going back to last season. But there was a "mole" comment made last week.

Actually the kid angle is a little creepy. He is drawn to them like a magnet. I know he's just being a protector, but every time there's a kid on the show he does that whole, lean over sideways and talk to them softly angle.

Yes, PQ was great last night. But they were putting A TON of effort in trying to be edgy with camera angles and split screens. To the point where it was distracting, actually.

I really don't expect much from CSI:Miami other than looking good, having some action now and then, and making fun of Horatio. But they've been especially melodramatic this season. For example...At the end, why the heck was the entire team taking a stroll on the beach in their street clothes. I can buy all the CSI's being there as a stretch, but the ME? Noone died on the boat as I recall. It just seemed like one of those artificial "Oooh, look how pretty the sunset is, let's slo-mo the team walking down the beach, it will look great in promo materials".

The eye was a ruse on Mr Wolfe's part to see if the ME would talk about it to anyone else. It's fine.

The 'mole' is still an issue between wolfe and the new gal (former federal DNA gal). He resents her being the mole and is being especially hard on her. He was a real jerk to her about her evidence collection of the stocking.

does anyone know what song was playing at the end of the show when they walked on the beach? and who the artist was singing that song? why don't they ever put the information in the credits???

Yeah, I wondered why that was even necessary. I was thinking, "Why the hell did they all meet up on the beach and then decide to walk down the beach while the sun is setting"? Too much. I skipped past that part. Too melodramatic.

That was a certifiable "jumped the shark" moment for this show, I don't think it could have been any more corny, sappier, or ridiculously pretentious. Unbelievable, what on earth were they thinking when they that wrote that into the episode...some sort of tribute to "Charlie's Angels" or something??

Same thought crossed my mind (and the wife's) as we watched the kooky kast, with H smiling oddly. IIRC, they did this a few years ago as well...in a season finale.

thanks jaypb BTW during the walk on the beach calliie said something about how everybody thought it was easy to make a HUNDRED and horatio said we know better ,well it was an inside joke as this was the 100th episode of csi miami!!!

My son and I were laughing about the walk on the beach.
CSI 'MIAMI' cast walking on a California beach !

They shoot some exteriors in Miami, couldn't they also get some beach shots here ?

Yeah, I saw that. I saw the bridge in the background along with some cranes at a port. You can't see the cranes at the Port of Miami from the beaches and you also do not see a bridge in the background.

I believe that the last scene with everyone walking on the beach was a "100th episode" moment, making a big deal about reaching the milestone. Even Callie mentioned "100" (though referring to money), but it was a nugget put there for the event.

Someone may need to check me out on this one, but I think it was their 100th.

it was their 100th. they were making a huge deal about it in all of the promos leading up to monday

That was a certifiable "jumped the shark" moment for this show
No, that would be episode #1, as soon as Horatio put on those sunglasses ;)

What do you mean?

re: my statement that H is actually dead.

It's my theory to answer all of the odd things that H is able to accomplish.

- Every kid is automatically drawn to him and he promises to always be their to protect them; watching over them at all times.

- Women in dangerous situations seem to surrender their will to him, reaching out realizing that he, and he alone, can save them.

- A CSI can be kneeled down checking for evidence and H can see things from 10ft away that other experienced CSIs miss.

- He went to Brazil and wore ALL black, including a coat, the whole time and never had one bead of sweat appear. All other characters were in short sleeves.

- Also in Brazil, while he was staring down the man who killed his wife, H disappeared into thin air when a truck passed between them.

- There was an episode when a witness was in the hospital. While at a raid across town, H realizes someone is on their way to kill her. Rather than notify the guards that are with her or any other officers near the hospital, H speeds across Miami and enters the room just in time to save her from being executed.

- Have we ever seen him eat or sleep? No.

So I believe that H operates beyond the realm of mere mortals. Like I said, it's just a theory. :)

lol. you know, my first reaction was that you are a hysterical lunatic. but if an entire series can be a dream in the mind of an autistic child (st. elsewhere) or some guy in a shower (dallas), then i suppose anything is possible...

All good points that I remember, especially no sweat while in Brazil wearing all black. However, we haven't seen H walk on water yet or turn water into wine. I was begining to think at the writers were trying to protray H as a NEO (character from The Matrix) sort of character. When he puts on his shades he seems to be able to pull off the extraordinary feats that you mentioned above. Will he dodge bullets next? :)

Good point about the shades. It does seem that Caruso tries to play H as an older version of Neo, doesn't it?

Last nights episode was good. Although H did not do anything to that deranged ex husband of Natalia Boa Vista. I thought H said he would take care of it. Maybe this ex husband thing will carry onto next episode? I hope so, it was interesting getting to see Natalia pissed off. The whole thing how he is a 'private CSI' is wild, i would think the real CSI would govern his job.

Ohh yeah. good deal

I have a question about the restraining order that Natalia's ex put on her.

He went to a crime scene as a "clean-up" guy and said she had to leave. If she's still working the scene as a CSI, wouldn't that mean the clean-up crew shouldn't be there at all and he should leave?

And I had no idea it was so easy to stop a car in the middle of the street in Miami, one of the passengers get out and look at the front of the car, the driver back up, run over the guy, back up, pick him up off the street, put him in the back seat, and drive away without any witnesses.

(From Marc Berman’s Tuesday, October 10 , 2006, Programming Insider column at Mediaweek.com )

“…At 10 p.m., CBS’ CSI: Miami was the highest rated show of the evening at a healthy 12.3/20 in the overnights, 17.93 million viewers and a 5.9/15 among adults 18-49….”

I was thinking the same thing. If the "clean-up" crew is there to clean-up, wouldn't they do it after the CSIs are done? That's what I think.

Yeah, and then to carry him over your back on an empty beach and dump the body there without anyone noticing. First you have to believe that the beach was completely empty to begin with during the daytime.

And that the surf would take the body out instead of just washing it back up on shore. The writing for this show has gotten so bad, so completely full of holes, the images are it's only redeeming quality, but I'm not sure how long just that will keep me watching.

You're right. I'm still trying to figure out how a show can go backwards in terms of its writing. Hopefully the writers will notice their folly and decide to shore up the writing. I'll still watch the show b/c it has some many other things going fo it.

I don't think that's the way that restraining orders work in the real world, is it?

If person A gets a restraining order against person B, can person A walk into person B's workplace and effectively force person B to leave work?

I thought that it only prevented person B from coming near person A; if person A comes near person B, that's his/her problem.

Not getting 5.1 audio tonite. Anyone else

Every week it seems they try to top the previous episode for grossness. Last week's severed head torso hanging from the fan on CSI New York was hard to take but I think it was out grossed by last nights CSI Miami when the medical examiner stuck some kind of tube into the bloated stomach and the pressurized liquified innards came flying out. Good thing she had it pointed away from her face. Also brains popping out of a scull seems to be an ongoing event All in glorious HD

Well, what about the CSI Vegas episode two Thursdays ago when they showed what happened to the lady's brain that was pushed off of the cliff. It seems to me that every year the three CSI shows try to out do themselves with even more gore than the previous year. To bad I was trying to eat watching the most recent episode, but then again I should have known better.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the episode from Monday, mainly H standing down a gun wielding guy in front of the police dept. None of the other cops in stepped in front of the gun, but H did, b/c we all know that he is the only one that can. He walks directly up to barrel of the gun, tilts his head left to right, and says "Friend, how can I help you". That was damn funny. That's why I love this show. Oh, and what about when he is standing outside waiting for the developer, head tilted down, shades on, and somehow he knows exactly when the developer is going to walk out of the building and H is somehow able to see the developer walk by even though is head down and he's wearing shades.

15 minutes later, H is standing outside of the judge's office, head down, shades on in a dark building and somehow he's able to see the judge walk out of his office. I love this show.

I missed this week's show, but it sure sounds like H continues to use his supernatural abilities. Amazing.

I rarely watch the show anymore, but I love to come read this thread to hear about H's latest antics.

My mom loves the show and thinks Horatio is God. She can't figure out why he cracks me up.

I don't think that's the way that restraining orders work in the real world...can person A walk into person B's workplace and effectively force person B to leave work?...
That's what I said when that happened..."It doesn't work that way at all." ...although I'm sure this guy is just another plot device for later in the season.

well, i like the show.

I love the over contrast look, i love the razor sharp visuals, I love the overacting. and the bright bright color.

I most of all love it because i am entertained by it. I dont care whats real and how real it is...if i wanted real ill watch cops. Im watching entertainment and it entertains.

give me a break, all you "reviewers" are comical...not to mention that this is not a content material review site....this is a visual and audio review site.

maybe you dont like the artistic look but i think its sweet!

anyway it is by far the best csi because i really cant stand the gore for no reason of the other shows.

btw if your looking for real non of the csi has it because the tests and how they come up with info in minutes is rediculously unreal. lol

Good episode this past week. PQ was great.
HDTV and DD 5.1 here in Tx.

Best episode this season! The thing with the coffin and all the superstition was so unlike CSI:M, but it really worked!

The HD was mostly messed up here in Nashville. I had to watch in SD :(

Two things I noticed last night: When we see a profile of H, he is starting to get that drooping chin thing. He is also very homely looking , huh?

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when Frank gets done with a sentence, he leaves his mouth open and his lips apart for a bit?

Anybody catch the bubble that floated up in front of Calleigh's face in the lab? I can't recall what they were talking about now, but the bubble seemed out of place....I believe it was later in the hour.

I rewound it a couple times with the DVR just to be sure --- pretty cool.

I give the writers credit for last night's episode b/c it was a departure from the norm. Kinda reminds me of a CSI: Vegas episode from last season. However, I hope it doesn't happen on a regular basis. I liked that we saw a different, more funny side from the Wolfe character and as always, H had to ham it up, which I love. Case in point, with 4 minutes remaining on the bomb that was planted in the car, H decides that it's best for him to drive the car to the beach and let it explode. I was wondering the whole time how he got through all of the red-lights without stopping and how no one on the beach was anywhere near the car.

The most funny part of that scene was classic H. He gets out of the car, puts on his shades, walks away in slow-mo with a guitar rift playing in the background and right after the car blows up he says, "Burnnnn baby, burnnn". I had to rewind two more time just to watch that. It was great. Thankfully, the hd was fine here in Phoenix, except for the occasional breakup in around the 42-45 minute mark.

But it's the whole lead-up to that point that is truly classic. "What are you going to do?" "I'm going for a ride."

Calmly, with 4 minutes, Horatio gets into his Humvee and drives all the way to the beach, on some mysterious highway with absolutely no traffic. He stops the car and has enough time to calmly look down, smirk, and take off his sunglasses before he gets out of the car. Then, closes the door and slowly walks away from the car, still with the smirk. And the explosion is perfectly synchronized with him putting on the sunglasses.

As I said before, the best comedy on TV.

haha, you're so right. :D But I still love this show for some reason. I've lived in Miami and I can tell ya, it don't take no 4 minutes to get from way on the other side of town to the beach. Hell, it takes 4 minutes just to get through a red light near the beach.

I've stopped really caring about the storylines and watch for the eye-candy PQ and the Horatioisms. Vegas is still the best, and NY has grown on me.

But Miami usually a top 10 show...go figure. So either EVERYONE is laughing at Horatio, or some people actually take it seriously lol

You can't get from Miami-Dade Police Headquarters to an expressway entrance in 4 minutes. A trip to the beach should take 30-40 minutes from there, with no lights or siren on the vehicle.

I think the bomber used a defective timer....

The wife and I just finished watching this weeks episode and we noticed the bubble float up out of her eye/mouth as well!!!! It was at the 53 minute mark. At first we thought her contact popped out of her (left) eye...but it floated UP...and didn't fall down.

We rewound it multiple times....and the bubble appears to come out of her eye!

Funny stuff....funny...funny....funny..... :p

{*And MAN did that chick who did all the killing have some NASTY skin*}..... :eek:

Edit: And I also noticed either a nasty burn, bad scar or some serious skin issues on Wolfe's right forearm in several scenes.....

I noticed that, too.

I did not notice. I did have the remote in my hand, but only since I was switching to different channels during the commercials. I want to see Natalie Boa Vista do some underwear modeling. :p
Not enough of your typical hondas in the show last night. Only one civic or so.

I want to see Natalie Boa Vista do some underwear modeling. :p

Well, she used to star on All My Children and I record that show on my dvr. Well, last year, sometime in the spring, she was in a episode of the show where she was getting out of bed. She had on pajama pants, but just as she is getting out of the bed you can see a sheer, pink thong come thru the top of the pajama pants. I was surprised to see this and you didn't even have to slow down the recording to see it. It was so obvious and nice to see in normal speed. Every time I see her on CSI: Miami I think of that thong shot.

Just curious if anyone else noticed the odd getup that Delco had on the entire show....white tennis shoes and a suit/sportcoat. Almost looked like he had on orthopedic shoes. Strange. :D

I noticed that too, odd looking.

It almost reminded me of an outfit that Steve Martin would've been seen in in the late 70's on SNL or in "The Jerk"..... :rolleyes:

That's more of a Florida style of dress, especially the white suit and pastel shirt. It's a very clean and fresh look. I liked it, except for the white tennis shoes. I would have worn either black loafers without the tassel or some nice leather slides.

more iraq bull$hit . im tired of seeing this stuff when im trying to be entertained and NOT see about current events. this was very poor programing!

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!
