(S09E09) In part one of the two-part episode that will hand off the reins of power at the Las Vegas crime lab from Gil Grissom to Raymond Langston,
CSI spent as much time breaking the news about Gil's exit as it did lay the groundwork for Langston's entrance.
Speaking of entrances, Laurence Fishburne was given quite the platform, appearing in shadow until the light clicked on and he was revealed. It'll be interesting to see if Petersen's last scene will replicate Frank Sinatra vanishing into distant spotlights, singing "Excuse me while I disappear." Considering the Vegas connection, I think that would be a perfect way for him to go.

(S01E13) The surgery is done. The brain aneurysm is gone. But Eli's life hangs -- or hung -- in the balance. This was a very trippy episode, a term Dr. Chen uses to explain to Eli why everything seems so out of whack. By the end of the hour, I'm not sure we can say with any certainty that Eli is

It's that time of the year. People are being cast in pilots left and right and some interesting stuff has
been announced. At ABC, Christopher Titus (
Titus) has landed one of the lead roles in an untitled project from Warner Bros. The show focuses on CEOs and also stars Dylan McDermott (
The Practice) and Michael Vartan (
Alias). McDermott and Vartan as CEOs is an easy sell. But Christopher Titus, Senior VP Harvard graduate? That's different, and something I look forward to checking out.
Carrie-Anne Moss (
The Matrix) is set to star in ABC's
Suspect. The show is a procedural that will solve crimes by tracking suspects through a lineup. She's joined by Eric Palladino (
ER) and Kathleen Munroe (
Beautiful People). The ABC track record for procedurals is less than impressive, but the addition of Guy Ritchie (
Snatch) as director is intriguing enough to give this one a look.

Yet
another quiz to keep you occupied for a few minutes this weekend.
This time, it determines which sci fi crew you should be part of. Be truthful when you fill it out, because it's easy to
answer questions that would get you placed on a certain firefly-looking transport.
I was most compatible with
Babylon 5 and
Farscape, which I never
watched. Probably because I'm comfortable with really weird-looking aliens. I think the reason I didn't get on board
Serenity was because I wouldn't just follow a captain because he's the captain. And, I didn't get on the Nebuchadnezzar
with Neo because I don't have stellar computer skills.
Here are my results:
