CSI :: Living Doll 5/17 :: *Spoilers*

The Grissom thing was well done. It scared me silly!!
I liked the ending, it was suspenseful enough to keep me
interested till next year.....dum dum dum(with heavy music in background)

 

I hate cliff-hanger season endings. There's absolutely no excuse for them. They have no effect on whether or not I watch next season.

Otherwise, a good episode.

 

I was disappointed, all this year they build up the killer then basically just show her to you. I thought the Grissom thing was cheap, I was genuinely shocked when he was stabbed then for it just to be an illusion was a serious cop out.

I also hate season ending cliff hangers.

Just for the record I like the show but was disappointed that this is all we got from the year or waiting.

Eh I thought it was a pretty good episode. The Grissom thing I actually liked even though I usually hate dream sequences...maybe because this one fit well. I liked how it was obvious they couldn't get Jorja to come in and shoot her death scene lol. Interesting to see if she comes back next yr...

 

I was surprised at the To Be Continued cliff-hanger. If Sara dies, with Natalie captured, what would the concluding episode be about? Natalie escapes and they hunt her again? She gets out on some kind of technicality and she kills again?

If Sara lives, they cold drag out the story of finding her, but that's a stretch.

 

First thing I wondered was if Jorja Fox was renegotiating her contract again?

Over all, it was OK. I was kind of dissapointed that teh killer was so much of a blithering idiot, but maybe she has other times where her mental disorder has her be more lucid.

I did get freaked out by the Grissom scene.

 

I thought it was pretty much decided what happened . While the ending is a 'it could go either way' ... real life events dictated what happened :

SPOILER for the future.

Yee hath been warned!

Spoiler

Jorja Fox has been really pissed that they killed her off, so much so that she pretty much refused to come in an shoot the last episodes of the season. The network apparently was not interested in renewing her contact (more salary ?)

 

That would be yes, and the studio is tired of her tactics, I guess it showed when they placed a car on top of her character.

 

The episode was okay. It was interesting that they made the MK an outsider AND and insider, since she was on the cleaning crew. So in a way, both theories were correct. And she was about as inside and outside as you could get.

I thought the Grissom Slashing was not a dream as much as it was a wish moment for her. But as they said, she never got up close and personal like that with her victims to kill them, but clearly she would have if she could. She had to kill by remote control as it were. But she really wanted to let Grissom have it ...

The flashback technique was a bit sudden, and I'll bet it confused some casual viewers who haven't kept up with every detail. Grissom's method of revealing their relationship was a bit Shakespearean. I thought he was going to break out in poetry, or a sonnet maybe.

So how did Brass find Sara's truck with her missing BEFORE Grissom found the miniature and tried to warn her?

 

It's not so cut-and-dried.

Spoiler

Apparently they originally did kill her off but then went back in and added the stuff that made it look like she could still be alive. It seems they are still deciding. She was asking for more salary again this year, but since her relationship with Gil put her more into the spotlight she thinks she deserves a raise.

 

I agree .. but the sticking point was the last bit of info

Spoiler

Jorja wouldn't come on the set to film anymore because she was so upset *they killed her off*. Seems like its not up for negotiation anymore.

But then again.. things can change right up until they film the last scene, so I guess we will never actually know until we watch it.


Who went back to the previous episodes (car crash ep, murdered model ep) to see the killer in the background ?

 

Normally a cliffhanger that involves a star is "phony", we know they're not going to kill off the star. Did anyone really think

Spoiler

Meridith was going to die on Grey's Anatomy? The show is named for her.

I'll agree this wasn't done that well but in this case there is real suspense regarding her fate.

 

If I worked as a real CSI, I'd take my vacation in the late spring to avoid all sorts of mayhem.

 

The episode itself to me was ok. It's just that they have been building up this miniature killer the entire season, It's been basically in just about every episode this season in one way or another and the payoff was just really disappointing to me. That's the problem with having such a long running plot, the payoff needs to really match the buildup, and this payoff did not live up to a whole seasons worth of build up. It could have maybe held up if this was just a build up of an episode or two but a whole seasons worth of buildup and this is what we get. I still like the show and will watch next season i'm just disappointed that this was the best they could come up with after such a long build up.

 

Well.. there have been other grissom head to heads, and they were let downs..

a few years ago, the 'suicide' killer.. that turned out to be the FX guy / Judge .. it wasn't a battle of wits at the end if i remember correctly..

And we *still * need resolution of the voice at the end of the 'Nick's underground tape' Did they forget about it ?

 

That's right ... they just barely talked about that earlier !
