    Yep, though it was better than the CSI:NY ending, with Stella going rambo in the crime lab.

    Jorja once again proves the old addage, "Don't ask for more money when your contract runs out."

    Looks that way, though her arm was still moving, so she ain't dead yet. She really should have kept that treasury gig.

    What pisses me off is this a top-rated show that's been picked up for another season...they don't need to pull crap like that. :mad:

    You'd rather have a cookie-cutter, paint-by-numbers episode where everything is wrapped up in the last five minutes?

    Reminded me too much of what happened to Eads character.

    Still loved it though.

    I gave up on the other 2 CSI shows a year ago.

    Actually, yes. I love my serialized shows like LOST, Heroe's, 24, and BSG. However, I also like my shows that are almost all stand alone episodes that I can watch in any order...like CSI or L&O.

    As for Jorja, I heard it was about money...depending on how things go, she may live or die.

    Yah, same thing happened to Eads - he asked for more money and they buried him alive in a glass coffin full of ants :lol:

    Jorja should'a learned.

    Ya know what I didn't like? We for once we didn't discover who the killer was by going thru the clues with the CSIs - the show SHOWED us who the miniature killer was early in the ep, long before the CSIs had any idea. That annoyed me. That's not how the show is supposed to work.

    Normally I'd agree, but in this case, we got five or six hours of not knowing. I grant them some dramatic license for this episode. I definitely have that gripe for the CSI:NY finale, though, since they didn't even bother trying to solve the case. They just lucked into things, and thought it would be cool to show Stella posing as Sigourney Weaver in Aliens.

    You know why I think they did it?

    because to do justice to that amount of backstory from Grissom et al's perspective would have been 3 or 4 episodes in a row.

    But they strung the idea out so long they were out of time for the end of the season.

    You would have ended the first episode in the arc with just the discovery that it was a woman. That was a bombshell right there.
