1010 - Appendicitement

So, I'm actually watching a CSI episode live for the first time in two seasons. Only because of the spoilers I chanced upon, though; I'm always looking for Greg-heavy episodes. And then Nick, Hodges, and Henry are in there, too. Score

But jesus 'effin christ, what the heck is going on?

Nick and Greg so should have known better. One's been stalked, thrown out a window, and buried alive. The other's been beat down within an inch of his life, and they pull crap like this? The masks, too? Greg definitely should have known better. Nabbing Henry in the parking garage. Fanny-smackin' anyone? For shame. And Hodges...I've no words for you.

I could tell who was who by the voices. Nick driving, Greg riding, Hodges keeping Henry company in the back, and all of them trying and failing to look cool, except for Henry who looked freaked out.

"Damn!" Really? That's all Nick can say when the car flipped over and the four of you nearly died? After blood dripping out of your mouth, a "wild ride" is all it's chalked up to be. And then three of you have to gall to walk away so non-chalantly like you're on the Dukes of Hazzard on your days off.

Poor Henry, surrounded by insane people. And his sprained ankle probably isn't helping.

Yes, of course Nick is conveniently packing a revolver in the trunk.

"Thanks, brother"? Okay, Hodges, um...yeah...

What is with the Tombstone montage? Walking one mile to some barbeque place in the desert. This is more than a slightly cracky episode. Did I mention the music?

Oh, that clip in the opening where Greg is holding the flashlight is making me nostalgic. I'm thinking of that scene in season four with Greg, Warrick, Sara, and the vile of blood, "Bloodsuckers." Good times.

"It appears this man has a large raccoon on his face." A classic line by Henry.

Take that back, "the raccoon came through the window ninja style". Absolutely priceless, Henry.

That waving pig is scary.

Oh, caught an editing error.

Fire references. I really did miss the Hodges/Greg interactions.

Henry singing about Davy Crockett... Oh god, now I'm thinking of Michael Novotny.

"You may even kill my young friend there." What the heck? When does Nick speak like that? Not to mention Nick is all gung-ho about shooting. Am I really that out of the loop?

The flying raccoon coming out of the fire. Just...just no.

"Ugh...Raccoonzilla?" Well said, Greg.

"Technically not a rodent." Hodges, you're precious.

"And the hepatitis." Because we can't forget that.

---commercial break---

Just remembered SPN is on. Can't find remote. Too lazy to get up and turn channel manually.

Hmm...so Wendy isn't a CSI, yet. Or did TPTB change that angle?

Okay, found remote. SPN is on commercial break.

Okay, now I'm reminded of Ace, and want to read some OP manga. But that must really suck. And hurt hitting your head on the glass like that.
"Uh-oh." Brass kills me.
But of course Nick goes in anyway.

"I'm froze." Strangely, it makes sense.

Lol, that's messed up.

"A bunch of ignorant drunk crackers." I like Shirley. I just wished her character was more fleshed out.

Greg is so disturbed. "If I can't find a phone, I'm going to make one."

Hodges left Greg. Why do people always go off exploring when they're in the middle of nowhere and it's dark and stuff like that?
Greg looks younger for some reason. I'm thinking season four, "All For Our Country" eseque.

Oh, they used that still shot before. Or it looks similar to one in season three.

---commercial break/spn interlude---

Oh, SPN is a rerun. Future!Dean and Future!Sam. But an interesting tidbit only an obsessed person like me with no life would know: Mischa Barton, who plays Cas on SPN, also played Vlad, the guy who buried the girls on "Nesting Dolls." Like I said: no life, but I think it's interesting to see how I connect people and abuse the idea of six degrees of separation. It's fun, and I can almost connect JP to anything...sadly.
NICK GIVING GREG A BOOST UP THE PHONE POLE. NEVER MIND WHERE MY MIND IS GOING AT THE MOMENT--I'M SO FANGIRLING RIGHT NOW.

But please don't fall, Greg.

Ew. That looks positively vile. And like it really hurts.

Yeah, totally predictable that they would find something else.

Okay, Nick. I like you and all, but why are you suddenly channelling Tom Cruise?

---commercial break---

Almost over, and I'm kind of disappointed. No, I am disappointed, just as I've been with the last four seasons. The writing was all over the place, and it was a far cry for the kind of humour like in "Chaos Theory."

Oh, I saw it coming, but oh my god, I didn't want to see it happening. And to think they were going there to eat. *shudders* I don't eat meat, but I guess it all tastes the same.
I did a double take at "dispersions". I shouldn't have, but I did.

"Feminine wiles." Gone with the tumbleweed?
Why does Nick look taller than Greg? But more importantly, Greg still drinks coffee? What?
Has Nick ever worn plaid before?

Cool. It's the same vending machine.

Lol, poor Henry with his cast and sprained ankle. Then he falls and Nick and Greg just drink from their mugs and don't even offer to help him.

Nn...another serial killer angle. Isn't that what killed season seven?
