Sep 2 - Zuiker 'Tiptoes' Away From 'CSI' The 'CSI' creator gives new projects his attention but keeps an eye on the franchise. Contains minor spoilers.
Last week, a new episode of Miami aired. A week later, my mouth is still open and I'm drooling a bit.
But not because Delko is so hot, not this time. Last week, Horatio Caine told his terminally ill girlfriend he will give her a baby. I don't remember what my initial reaction was. I think I passed out for about three minutes, then came to, then started laughing, and then had to have a smoke, then gently wept into my sofa cushion. For a moment there I thought it was a dream, and that I was reading fanfic instead, but alas, that wasn't the case. A woman who has cancer, and is going through chemotherapy, and only has a few months to live, will purposely get pregnant just because she's never had a baby before and she figures it would be really neat to bring a human being into this world and then abandon them wretchedly.
Motherhood is fun!
I'm not sure I get Marisol. She's either the most selfish cow on television today or is the stupidest character on television today. She claims she's not enjoying her life, and yet she spends the bulk of her time hanging out at a luxurious spa wearing a teeny bikini. She needs her brother to pay all her bills because she's so wretchedly sick she can't work, and yet she has a house that's bigger than most houses I've seen, wears expensive clothes, hair always perfect. She's so sick she can't eat, and yet she looks gorgeous and healthy. She's going to get pregnant (you know she will) even though chemotherapy in most cases leaves women barren. So if she does get pregnant, will she stop treatment? She's going to have a baby and then abandon it just for the hell of it? Yeah, I'm thinking selfish cow.
I keep trying to picture Horatio and Marisol trying to conceive this baby. They're supposedly in a relationship, and yet they don't kiss, they don't hug, they don't even touch each other. So the mechanics of this conception are already comedic gold. I'm thinking Marisol will stand in a white room and Horatio will step in front of her, put his Sunglasses of Justice on, and the sunglasses will emit a laser beam that will impregnate Marisol on impact. That way, they won't have to touch each other. Afterwards they'll shake hands and be on their merry way. Say what you will about the Horatio/Yelina storyline, but at least the two characters were tender together, more believable. This Horatio/Marisol storyline looks as sexy as the insides of my computer. It's so robotic.
I really hope this baby is more of a Delko than a Caine. I really, really hope that, because this child already has a miserable life to look forward to, at least it should look good and master a reasonably normal speech pattern.

Hall Campaigns For Crime Lab Funds
Robert David Hall (Dr. Al Robbins) wishes real life crime labs had the technology we see on CSI. "We'd like to see more of the high-tech stuff you see on TV spread around the country," he said. "All of the makers of all of this wonderful high-tech gear make sure that we get it, but we're one thing. The real crime labs are another."

This Week On TV
Tonight at 10:00pm, CSI: Miami's episode "Urban Hellraisers" will air again on CBS. Here's how the network described it:
"Delko witnesses a bank robbery and the CSIs soon discover that the culprits are playing out the action from the videogame "Urban Hellraisers" on the streets of Miami. As they score points for each crime committed, the CSIs must discover what consists of getting to the next level in the game in order to stop the culprits before they strike again."
On Wednesday night at 10pm, CBS will air the new CSI: New York episode "Live Or Let Die." Here's a brief synopsis:
"Mac, Sheldon, Danny and Det. Flack's only witness is an unconscious helicopter pilot, but their initial clues lead the CSIs to suspect that the helicopter hijacking may have been an inside job. Meanwhile, the rape and murder of a restaurant hostess found in an alley shocks Stella and Lindsay when they discover that she anonymously engaged in phone sex with her patrons, leaving a suspect list a mile long."
CSI returns after a brief hiatus with the episode "Unusual Suspects," which airs on Thursday night at 9/8c on CBS. Here's how the network described it:
"A sister's stunning courtroom confession throws her brother's guilt into question. Blindsided, the CSIs must race to re-examine the case's evidence in order to determine which sibling is telling the truth, but begin to suspect that a more sinister scheme may be at work."
In addition to the above episodes on CBS, cable channel SpikeTV will of course continue its daily CSI repeats.
