I've been watching CSI recently, since a Romantic Interest of mine is actually working on a career as a forensic investigator, and I'm retroactively impressed at how bang-on the characterizations of the CSI people were.

I'm also fairly shocked that a recent TV series can actually hold my interest, but that's a matter for another board.

Wonderful job bringing the CSI folks onboard, I look forward to seeing them put to use, when_ever_ their time is due.

Thank Gryph, Ard and Chad for that - I got into CSI based on their commentary, and now it gives me something to do for two hours a night besides plot and play City of Heroes. (...it's on Spike TV from 7 PM to 9 PM. In case you were thinking something depraved.)

William Peterson brought together a significantly interesting bunch of actors, all of whom make their characters feel 'real', which is a good part of it - there ARE people like Gil Grissom out there, people like Sara, and like Cath and Warrick and Nick...

We're perversely proud of having driven Gryph from never having seen the show to owning the first three seasons on dvd inside of a month. (Which is meant as a comment on the show, not Gryphon :)

Anyway, it's science geeks fighting crime. What's not to love, and what better place for them than New Avalon?

Actually, it took more than a year, measured from the time when discussions of the show started cropping up in the lab channel. I really have to be motivated to get arsed to watch anything on network TV nowadays, let alone borrow from it. (Or cable, come to that. I never have watched Stargate SG-1, despite several Suspects being deeply, inscrutably into it. I'll probably watch the new Battlestar Galactica series, though. I liked the pilot.)

Oh, sure. I was just going from 'First TiVo' to 'Season 3 Set'. Everything before that was just setup. :)
