Past the mission, behind the prison doors.

Still thinking about an episode of CSI: NY (dreadful, dreadful, dreadful; maybe even worse than CSI: Miami, although it's hard to say) where a high school date rapist turned out to be a 30 year old sociopath stranger rapist. It was such a fantasy (not sexual fantasy, but shared cultural delusion) it was hard to believe: see, ladies, it's not ( Read more... )

I am wholeheartedly behind the idea of you and your sister having a TV blog. I like reading your analysis of episodes, even for shows I don't watch.

CSI:NY lost me totally during that one episode where they cracked the case over three different kinds of tears being secreted. LOLWTF. That completely and totally broke my suspension of disbelief leik woah.

The only CSI I really enjoy is the original, and even then - the old episodes, before they fell in love with fantasy technology. One thing you gotta hand to them, tho, is that at least the writers have a sense of humor about things.

Thanks! That's kind of you to say. I need to make these posts more coherent.

I agree, the original CSI is the only one that's even remotely watchable. I haven't watched it in years either. The fake tech is ridiculous. L&O has been bad for years and yet is still infinitely more watchable than CSI because it doesn't rely on a magic wand to make its plots go.

What if I posted a picture of David Caruso's head on a naked Santa porn star?

If he's wearing sunglasses, I'm in.
