CSI: Crime Scene Investigation<\/i> creator Anthony Zuiker<\/b> wrote the series finale for the hit crime drama, a two-hour TV movie titled “Immortality”<\/a>. “I was all over the place,” he told Channel Guide Magazine<\/a>. “I was laughing out loud. I was crying every day. Not necessarily crying because it was over, but just touched, kind of touched by the characters and touched by the moments and hearing the voices again.”<\/p>\n

\nThe finale finds the team working together to solve an explosive case at the Eclipse, a casino co-owned by former CSI Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger<\/b>). The investigation brings back Catherine, as well as former boss Gil Grissom (William Petersen<\/b>). “It’s really cool,” Zuiker said. “It’s cool to have them back. It’s really neat to reconnect with them.”<\/p>\n

\nZuiker also spoke to TV Insider<\/a> about the end of CSI’<\/i>s fifteen year run. He acknowledged that the finale couldn’t please every single fan, but he was confident that it would provide the “emotional experience” that most viewers were looking for:<\/p>\n

It’s a privilege to be able to bring real closure to this show\u2014something that rarely happens when a program gets canceled. Our finale is scary and thrilling and entertaining as hell, but it’s also a chance to thank the fans for their undying devotion. We want them to feel good about what happens to this family of CSI<\/i> characters when the show is over. To do that, we’ve pulled out all the stops.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
