Speaking of recognition, one of the Panem Peacekeepers shows up in last night's CSI. Clearly I'm going to suspect him of everything bad, even crimes that haven't been committed yet.

The show is about as dumb as it always was--not as dumb as the other two, but never interesting-- most other procedurals can be interesting, but by changing the game, CSI doesn't really have an angle anymore. Any show can do as much forensics as they want to--they can even rag on poor old CSI to make themselves look better.

Watching this episode which isn't set in Vegas makes me wonder what they focus on as their differentiator when it's not "city as character" (seriously, how old is that? We get it...). You know, there's "The show with Sherlock Holmes" or "The show with the fake psychics" or "The other show with the Navy stuff". What show are they?

Mostly I came in to say the new guy has settled in really well. I wouldn't have predicted that Morpheus wouldn't be able to pull off generic procedural, and Sam Malone could. Actors, man. With the acting.

CSI is not at all interesting anymore, but it does fill that "procedural I can kind of half watch while doing something else" slot that keeps me watching it..

I did not think that Lucy Liu was this tall, even with heels: [link]

You could fit a pretty big Scully box under a floor-length gown.

Is this where we're discussing Blacklist? because OMG! last night was something else!

Elementary: it's fantastic narratively; I don't dispute that, but I am NOT OKAY with Bell being shot. I don't even like the idea that he might not recover.

It interests me that Sherlock was shown practicing single stick left-handed. If Bell does not regain the full use of his right hand, what if he worked on qualifying left-handed for marksmanship? Holmes might not be the guy to suggest that, though.

Bell getting shot makes me think that either the actor is leaving the series (temp or perm), or Bell is going to be appointed watchdog for Holmes and Watson.

For those who watched tonight's The Mentalist:

I don't even watch the show and that's funny. I don't care who you are.
