Yeah the kitties on Bones were ewww. As was the flesh falling off the face of the guy in the trunk .

Bones: I also didn't appreciate the scene cutting straight to the corpse head, and Cam taking out its gross eyeball.

Not a dinnertime show, that's for sure.

And yet? Usually always on at the time I'm about to eat dinner. *sigh*

I know, it's like they have a competition going for "How many people can we make regret eating their dinner this week?" It's gotten so I find myself looking forward to Gross Body of the Week. It's got to be a great portfolio, though, for whatever effects house they're using.

Anyone else watch CSI last night? It was quite good, one of the better season premieres in a while. First off, nice to see both David Berman and Liz Vassey bumped up to the opening credits! Also, I was pleased to see Riley gone--she was a waste of space.

I liked how they used her exit interview as the fill-in for fans' complaints about the show last season ("lack of group unity...communication issues, etc."). Here's hoping making Nick Catherine's Catherine (a good choice) and bumping Langston up a level works.

As to last night's events, loved the opening Matrix freeze-frame! While I was admiring the level of post-production that went into that shot, I was thinking that it might overwhelm the rest of the ep. However, I got so into the plot that I completely forgot about the shot until we saw the coroner's room all trashed, and then I realized we were back where we started. Nice to see the coroner take out the one bad guy with his crutch!

I started TiVoing CSI again, did not watch any of last season, should I try to go watch some to catch up?

It took me half the episode to remember who Riley was. I hated her that much.

Nah, just know that Grissom and Sara are both gone (although Sara came back yesterday for a short-term helping out stint while Grissom is teaching), Catherine's in charge, Warrick is dead, and Laurence Fishburne is moving his way up (he's a professor and doctor who specialized in studying serial killers before he got an offer from Grissom, and he's working his way up from the bottom but on the fast track due to his background). Oh, and Hodges and Wendy (lab rats who are now both in the opening credits) are sort-of-maybe a couple.

Kathy, your first comment above, I completely agree with. I just caught CSI On-Demand (I now have On Demand - what a wondrous thing) and I really enjoyed the episode.

I loved the opening shot. I thought it was grand and nice to see it in "real time" later.

Word.

If I didn't know which thread I was in, I'd now be picturing Marc Blucas in drag.
