I can't believe that CSI: Miami is still on the air. I don't know if my TiVo thought it was being nice to me or what, but I just watched the Aldis Hodge episode. Needless to say--he did it. And luckily, since the CSIs don't really do science anymore, he pretty much folds and tells all as soon as they lean on him.

Plenty of that's-not-procedure shenanigans, with CSIs and shootouts, but I guess that's standard CSI fare for all locations. However, somehow Horatio gives the brain-damaged kid a bag full of cash to give to his mother--and given the kid's behaviour, it's not like he's about to tell her where he got it, because he's having a hard time putting two and two together. But that's okay! Horatio is lurking outside as the mother takes the cash without pressing her son for its source.

I know they stopped caring a long time ago, but they seem to have given up on both science and the law at this point.

I thought CSI:Orange got cancelled.

It did but it's still all over tv.

Der. That makes so much more sense. I thought NY had been cancelled, not Miami.

THERE IS A GOD.

(that let it run ten seasons, but still)

CSI NY was on the edge of cancellation last year, but it pulled through this year. I have no fucking idea why. Mac's romantic interests are just as bad and the plots/cases are WORSE.

And now, every season they are giving it a "season finale" - just in case.

Anyone here interested in a detailed review/discussion of The Mentalist's finale "The Crimson Hat" may wish to peruse this [link] Reviewbrain let me put my oar in, so my comments are interspersed with hers. She also addresses a number of questions other fans asked her via Twitter.

"The Killing" - the awfulness of the finale did not disappoint. Good grief.

Yeah, I hung in there to the bitter end. What a waste of my time.

damn. I should not have come back this season and just watched the finale.

You watched the original, right? Out of curiosity, how did the guilty parties line up?
