Under the Skin

This is a new CSI: Vegas and you need to keep this in perspective. Of course having Gil and Sarah involved helps, and Hodges in trouble add to the complexity, but this is a new series! It is not, unlike the moderately successful X-Files with the original cast. It will take time to develop.

The thought of seeing some of the original cast making an appearance adds interest, and I would like to see it happen. But, keep in mind this is a new series and it will take time to develop. I like what I see so far, and assuming the added technology won't get in the way of old fashioned police investigative work, I am willing to give it a chance. How about you?

The weakest main crime so far, the characters were lifeless and the big reveal was modern but odd. The subplot with the OG CSI is coming along and I'm interested to see where it leads.

What's going on with these new TV shows? Where are the good actors? Once the renowned actors leave the show, it no longer holds. The new team is horrible. The team leader is a horrible artist, with no charisma. Well .. It's not all bad, the soundtrack is cool. OMG I miss the good series.

I really do not care about those 2 new CSIs becoming a couple. I feel like that storyline is being forced down our throats and I literally could not be less interested in it. I'm really only watching for the Hodges storyline and bc of Gil and Sara. I really hope Hodges wife doesn't end up being behind this bc it seems so obvious. So hopefully it will be somebody we wouldn't expect- maybe even the lawyer who is now defending all 8,000 cases? Some kind of twist at least. I would love to see Catherine or Greg or Nick or even Ecklie make an appearance! Or even some of the old techs like Wendy or Mandy or Henry etc come back and just check in on Hodges and help out on the cases they worked with him. Anyways, not loving the new stories/ cast but enjoying watching Sara and Grissom and it was fun to see him do his entomology stuff again.

Of course, every incarnation of CSI has had some pretty far fetched cases. This one is beyond the pale. That aside, and forgetting the old versus new controversy, I find the cast of this show to be really dull. That couple with the big sort of macho guy and the woman he works with is supposed to promote sexual tension, I guess. The problem is I can't understand half of what she is saying because her thick accent and soft voice. There is no real spark. He is supposed to appear shy and clueless (but he supposedly really likes her), but on screen it is vapid. I will give it time. I know it's a new show, but right now I haven't found a character to latch on to.
