Miami is still a top 20 show (although it has slipped a bit in the ratings). NY needs more help than Miami.

That "trilogy" was lame, IMO. At least I learned I'm not missing anything by not watching the spin-offs. I thought they were going to go after the "Zetas"...

This trilogy was bad. I knew miami was bad but that show was worse then i expected and even though I like NY and Las Vegas even those didn't work for me this week. I think it had something to do with the whole trilogy plot just being bad and not working at all. I have to wonder if the CSI Miami writers wrote the entire trilogy because that's what it felt like to me. Hopefuly next week NY and Las Vegas will get back to normal.

I don't follow the overall viewers numbers, but in the 18-49 demo that the networks care about, Miami is actually the highest-rated of the three (this season).
So, the big question: will the Vegas ep suffer at all if you don't watch the other two? I'm really busy... watching other TV.

The beginning "previously on...." gives you enough informtion to follow the Vegas episode.

Not really. I'll defer to the Nazis and spoilerize but this thread is now a discussion of the 3 episodes, which aired. There is no reason for someone to read this thread for alert information.
I can think of a lot bigger plot holes.

I haven't watched it yet, but from what I hear the crossover didn't really bring the shows together. I would be much more interested in a CSI "crossover" where the 3 CSI teams were traving to a CSI conference at a neutral location (maybe LA?) and something bad happens there. So all the cast members from all 3 series are all working together to solve things at the remote location. That would be much more interesting.

You really can't have that many cast members. It wouldn't be watchable. Do we need a show with 3 medical examiners, 3 DNA experts etc. I don't think you could add more then one CM from one of the other shows unless you omitted a regular CM.

I think it could work. They're all in their separate lectures for their particular specialties. You get the 10 scientists from all the different CSIs guys to sit in a lecture hall, maybe a few raise their hands and ask questions.
Maybe Grissom could be a lecturer. Maybe they pull Caleigh from Miami to be a ballistics lecturer. The bit parts can still have bit parts in the crossover. It'd just be cool to see them all together.
Then once we see them all together learning their various things and talking about stuff, there's gotta be some major death or something that gets them doing some work together while at the conference.

May I suggest they investigate the horrific death of the entire CSI:Miami cast, or at the very least the wanton slaughter of David Caruso so the CSI tag team investigates the infinite choices of who would want him dead.

I don't know the per episode pay for the stars but I doubt it makes any sense to use them for a "bit part"

A celebration, not an investigation. I stopped watching CSI-Miami years ago. I didn't think Caruso's acting could get worse. I was wrong.

How often do you see the entire cast of Heroes or Lost in a single episode? We don't normally even see half the regulars.

We only watched the LV episode and didn't feel we missed that much. I would consider it a standalone episode. You could gather enough of what happened to still enjoy the LV episode.

Yeah, what was up with that "Dr. Ray"? Does "H" infantilize all of his colleagues like that? |

I'm sure in his mind it was a sign of respect.
Horatio's mind, meet reality.

The way everyone on Miami kept calling him Dr Ray was really annoying. I don't remember anyone on original CSI ever calling him Dr Ray until this week when Nick went to find ray after he didn't pick up his phone the first thing he says is something like hey Dr Ray don't you pick up your phone.
All i could think is that Miami has now poisoned the original show. I really hope they never cross over with Miami again as it seems like everything that is wrong with Miami is contagious. Miami need to be quarantined.

Does it seem like crime show victims have an abnormally high amount of AB+ blood type victims, always followed by, "it's the least common blood type."

I didn't like the crossover either. The initial premise (serial killer hacking up bodies) had promise but it devolved into three separate cases with only a tiny connection between them. The wrapup mentioning that the Russian had rolled over and they were able to grab several key figures in the organization was very weak considering the time that I had invested in watch all three episodes.
Also, why did the weather lady simply not go to the police the first chance that she got? I don't really understand how she was "turned".
By the way, does CSI Miami usually look like that? I was wondering if my TV had gone on the fritz with those gaudy oversaturated colors.

That made no sense to me also. She wasn't the typical runaway who has no family or friends or money. I just totally didn't get that whole part of the story.

I think she knew she was under close surveillance. That is why she made a break for it.

None of that story made much sense at all. Why hire the restaurant owner to cut up a girl so they can distribute her body parts across the country, but then have full mummified corpses where they cut her up. And if the Russian pimp and the black pimp didn't work together, how did the black pimp end up with Maddie?
