It's
no secret that Jorja Fox, who plays Sara Sidle on
CSI, is leaving the show this season. She has a contentious history with the show and was even temporarily fired during contract negotiations in 2004. But, why is she leaving?
Fox gave a quick interview to
EW.com, explaining her departure. She's leaving to broaden her horizons. The actress has been on
CSI for seven years and is looking for something else to do. She says, "If I thought the show was on its last legs, I would've tried harder to stay the course. But I feel like it's going to be around for a while, so I don't want some of those dreams to pass me by."

There's going to be a shake-up with the cast of
CSI this season because a certain long-time cast member can't come to a contract agreement with CBS. That's all I'm going to say before the jump.
If you don't want the
CSI season finale spoiled, stop reading now. There's no way to report this story without spoiling, so consider this your warning.

If you don't like spoilers, or even possible spoilers, just stop reading now. Seriously. If I see one comment about how I ruined the season finale of
CSI for you... well, the other readers will ridicule you.
Everybody on board? Good.
TV Guide's "Scoopermodel"
Ausiello is doing the math and he's estimating that the series is going to kill off Jorja Fox's character, Sara Sidle. There are three reasons: 1) Fox's contract is up next month and she hasn't signed a new one, 2) "Sources" say she's bored after seven years on the series and is ready for something new, and 3) Sara Sidle disappears in the season finale (also, her relationship with Grissom becomes public and the miniature killer returns).
Personally, I'd like to see a beloved character get killed off, but this will do. Someone definitely needs to go from that show, and when
Jonathan and I suggested killing off Nick Stokes last season, a lot of TV Squad readers said they'd rather bid farewell to Sidle. It'll make an interesting 8th season for Grissom if she's dead. The season finale airs May 17th.

Forgive me for being late on this. With Thanksgiving, I didn't get to see Thursday's episode of
CSI until Friday night. And, oh my God, was that the worst episode ever or what?!?
The episode was about a missing mobster whose car was found 30 years after his death. It starts out with a guy singing karaoke and pushing a wheelchair-bound guy in front of a Hummer. Then three other guys are killed... [*SPOILER ALERT*] by a person who was very obviously wearing different masks. I said, "He's wearing a mask" in the first few frames of the first scene. It took Grissom and the crack team of forensic scientists 50 minutes into the episode to figure it out.
Come on! The masks looked
horrible. The writers even tried to "trick" us into believing that someone else (the motorcycle cop) might be the man behind the mask. Puh-lease. The only reason I kept watching was because I was hoping that there would be some sort of twist at the end and I would be proven wrong. No such luck. This episode never should've seen the light of day.

Even though I said I wasn't going to watch
CSI this season, I can't quit. It's my guilty pleasure on Friday mornings before I start work. Thursday night's episode, featuring Kevin Federline's acting debut that actually didn't suck, also included some lines that made me question George Eads' future on the show. Before he sucker punched K-Fed in the stomach at a crime scene, he was pretty fired up about the way Las Vegas punks behave. Several times during the show, he expressed his frustration with Las Vegas in general.
Last year,
some of us lobbied for Nick Stokes (Eads' character) to get killed off because the series was getting stale. Eads' fan pages don't have any insight. Anybody else think he's about to leave the show?

Even before ABC put
Grey's Anatomy in the 9 pm Thursday time slot, the folks over at CBS knew that
CSI was in trouble. After seven years on the air, they had an inkling that ABC would be moving
Grey's. So, if this season of
CSI seems unusual so far... that's because it is. CBS challenged the producers and writers to get creative with their storylines and try something unusual. Even though they haven't taken our advice and
killed off Nick Stokes, they are breaking from the procedural formula that propelled them to become the number one show on television. So far this season, the crimes have stretched into two episodes. And the storyline with the murderer who creates miniature replicas of the crime scene will last through the middle of the season.
What do you think of
CSI so far this season? Is different good or bad?

According to
this writer for the Chicago Tribune, there is a "ferocious debate" going on over the season finale of
CSI where Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom were in a bedroom together. (More like ferocious vomiting!) Apparently,
fans worry the show will switch its focus to the characters' personal lives.
Anywho, the article includes an interview with CBS president Nina Tassler, who says that fans have embraced the connection between Sara and Grissom and that their relationship will be explored more in the next season. I still think they should've killed off
Nick Stokes.

I am so embarrassed to admit that I do this every week. I don't watch
CSI on Thursday nights because I don't care about it enough to catch it as soon as it airs (unlike
Lost). I usually flip on the television during lunch or breakfast and watch whatever was recorded the night before. Inevitably, every Friday, I casually turn on
CSI while I'm eating a meal. And, about 10-15 minutes into the show, I lose my appetite. This morning, I was eating Frosted Mini-Wheats (because I'm an adult) and looking at a severed head. Actually, it was a body without a head. A nice, bloody close-up. Guess what? The rest of my cereal went into the garbage disposal. Will I ever learn? Sadly, I don't think I will.

CSI is teasing us with the diner photo
you see above (a much larger version is
here, complete with its
own magnifying glass). During the program last night, a promo aired that said the clues to the final two episodes are
in this photo. Well, I always sucked at Where's Waldo, so I'm seeking out your help.
What clues do you see?
