Famester Dish:

Definitely the other shows don't have to go in here, because they are terrible. Original recipe is the only way to go. On the topic of Grissom and Sara though... what the hell. Sara has always struck me as a dumpy lesbian. And that's not being rude, that's being fo' reals. For a long time my fiancee and I debated whether Jorja Fox was pregnant or just had a big ol' beer belly for a chick. Turns out it must have been a beer belly.

I really, really enjoyed this episode...it will probably go in my top ten favorite CSI episodes. I loved that the little guys got a chance to shine, because it happens to rarely (on TV OR in real life). Hodges was particularly funny, and the "lucky" scene was excellent.

The subplots were funny, too...the rat, and the buttprint Sara found, and Catherine's clown. This was an all-around great episode, in spite of the many flashbacks that could have slowed things down. Instead, it was light-hearted and gave me warm fuzzies (not my usual feeling after CSI, in spite of how much I enjoy it). Yay, Hodges!

I'm going to papercut you ferociously.

What did y'all think of last night's episode? I loved it! I'm a Grissom/Sara 'shipper so I nearly died from squee after their sex and love talk. She makes him happy! Awwwwww.

I also loved all of the Brass one-liners, especially "Do I look like Paula Abdul to you?" Hee! Paul Guilfoyle friggin' rocks.

I didn't realize until this morning that Dreama was played by Ashley Johnson aka Chrissy Seaver on Growing Pains. Wow, I feel old. And little Chrissy as a hooker is just wrong. Heh.

I can't believe there are only three episodes left. I'm going to go through major withdrawals this summer. This season has really hit a creative high, IMO, and I hope they'll continue to bring their A game in season 8.

This was definitely a filler episode and not even one of their better filler episodes this season, but I liked the subplot with Greg being bitten, the batshit craziness of Ally Sheedy and Enrico Colantoni's performances, and, of course, the domestic scene with Grissom, Sara, and their doggeh. Awwwww. And I loved that Sara got to read Grissom's letter and that she really knows now how he feels about her. Double awwwwww. *hearts*

Yay, the return of Lady Heather tomorrow night! Well, tonight, technically, but since I haven't gone to bed yet it's tomorrow to me. I can't wait! I adore Lady Heather. *bounces and twirls excitedly*

Season finale tonight. *gnaws nails nervously*

CSI: The Experience, an interactive museum exhibit, opened in Chicago this week. Most of the entire main cast (except for Paul Guilfoyle and Louise Lombard) was in attendance for the grand opening, as well as several of the recurring cast and some of the production team. There are some pictures here, including an adorable one of Marg, George, and Eric, and a video here (click on The CSI Experience Opens). The exhibit will be in Chicago until September, then it will begin touring other museums in the country.

The premiere of season 8 is tonight and we will know for sure about Sara's fate by the end of the episode. I am 95% sure she's going to live and Jorja is not leaving the show but that 5% is making me more and more nervous as the day progresses. *bites nails*

I debated whether I should put this here or in the spoilers thread but since it's on the homepages of TV Guide and EW, it's not really a spoiler.

Anyway, I'm sure many of you have read the stories/rumors about Jorja Fox possibly departing the series in November. If you would like to help prevent that from happening, click here:

CSI is still the #1 drama on TV in part because of its cast chemistry. Jorja leaving would completely change the dynamic of the show and not in a good way. If you agree, join the campaign.
