Hello World!

For those of you who were away this weekend (oh, how I envy you) you've probably noticed the forum looks a bit different. Well, that's because we have a brand new board. Shipper Central is a place for those of us who aren't pleased with the science alone, we also want fornication. Moderated by Caderyn, this is the place for the Vegas, Miami, and New York shippers to live in harmony. For the first week, anyway.

So kiss your social life goodbye and join us in the Shipper Forum.

Talk CSI Files threads

Below are some of the topics currently being discussed at Talk CSI:

CSI Files Two Years Ago

Here's what was hot back in early May of 2003:

  • Pathologists To Honor Petersen
    The American Society for Clinical Pathology two years ago honored actor William Petersen (Gil Grissom) with the ASCP Special Recognition Award. The award was presented to Petersen for increasing public awareness of forensic and investigative sciences through CSI.

  • 'CSI' Cast, Crew's Chicago Connection
    Before Chicago got Jan Brady-ed for the older, more popular New York, the CSI producers were marveling at all the Chicago anvils landing on their laps. "All roads lead to Chicago on this show," said Carol Mendelshon. "Even though we love Vegas, we love Chicago more." Chicago, along with New Orleans, was one of the cities in the running for the second spin-off of CSI. In the end, however, NY was chosen for its variety and eagerness to comply. New York, New York, New York!

  • Crime To Pay For CBS This Fall
    Two years ago, CBS's new lineup was full of crime shows, as the network was looking to air a total of 10 hours of crime drama each week during the 2003-2004 season. "There's a lot of crime... but crime is still working," said CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves.

Today's Television Listings

  • CBS will tonight air the brand new CSI: Miami episode, "Vengeance". Here's a brief description of the episode:

    "When a former football star is murdered at a high school reunion, the CSIs must find the killer. The victim was the big man on campus in high school and there are a lot of guests at the reunion with reasons to resent him all these years. Now, the team must investigate everyone, from the head cheerleader to the school misfit, to see who held a decade-old grudge big enough to kill. Meanwhile, Horatio and Delko arrive at a crime scene and discover that it's already been processed, leading Horatio to uncover further information about his brother possibly being alive."

  • On Wednesday night at 10/9c, CBS will air CSI: New York's penultimate episode of the season, "The Closer". Here's a preview:

    "The team examines the murder of an avid Boston fan found dead with a ruptured spleen following a tough loss against New York. Danny must put his baseball skills to the test to piece together the evidence as the CSIs try to find out how and why he was murdered. Meanwhile, after testifying in a murder trial, Mac is confronted by the defendant, Quinn Sullivan, who questions the validity of the evidence. Mac is torn between trusting science or his desire to help a man facing jail time who swears he's innocent. Also, when a barely clad woman is killed by a truck early one morning, the team investigates why she was running through the streets and from whom."

  • CSI's penultimate episode will also air on Thursday night at 9/8c. Here's a description of "Iced":

    "When a popular college basketball player doesn't turn up for a big game, a fellow dorm resident finds him and a pretty young student dead on a sleeping bag in his dorm room. CSIs Sara and Greg reach one dead end after another as they try to solve the mystery of why the two young students were killed. Meanwhile, Catherine and her team look into the death of young man whose body was found in a "crop circle" that shows no outward or inward signs of what killed him."

  • Also, look for a rerun of the CSI episode "One Hit Wonder" on Saturday night at 9/8c on CBS. If you missed it two years ago, here's a brief synopsis:

    "Catherine takes the point in the investigation of an escalating series of peeping tom incidents. The crew is racing to stop the attacker before his crimes become more serious assaults. Meanwhile, Sara reopens the dormant case of her friend, a district attorney. The DA is facing surgery to remove a bullet she got in an attack that killed her husband three years prior."

In addition, Spike TV will be repeating CSI episodes at least twice daily for the rest of the week. A full listing of their upcoming episodes can be found here at SpikeTV.com.
