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

If I didn't know which thread I was in, I'd now be picturing Marc Blucas in drag.
msbelle, if you did happen to tivo the SF convention ep from last season, I do recommend watching that one, if for nothing else that it's one of the funnier shows ever in this series. It was written by two of the writers from BSG, and they used their obvious familiarity with the world of SF fandom and their behind-the-scenes experience with BSG in particular to full advantage in the script.
I did not TiVo last season, but I will look for that ep online or in repeats. thx
the SF convention ep
I loved that ep, but must confess that CSI stopped being appointment tv for me long ago.
This episode really engaged me again. It felt as if the writers were saying, 'yeah, yeah, we know...we forgot what made us cool. Here, have some of that.'
I'll have to look online for this ep. Sam, Dean, and Owen Hunt have my attention in that hour.
The name of the SF ep is (of course) "A Space Oddity," and it features cameos by various BSG cast and crew, particularly Grace Park (Boomer), Ronald D. Moore (the creator), the woman who played Tori, and in a bigger role, Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh). The big conflict in the storyline is that a producer is reimagining a classic cult TV show, debuts it at the convention, and the fans really hate the idea--sound familiar?
I don't know if the SF ep is going to have all that much punch for you, msbelle, since you aren't all that fannish.
Having watched this week's episode, it's not that I don't want Garrett Dillahunt to get work, I just don't want him to always be the one that done it. Because it's just a matter of waiting the episode out, no matter the show, it seems.
