Watch out for ...
CSI : NEW YORK!!!
Don't you think the guys look snazzy?
I look forward to seeing bits of New York again... really love that place!
I got the following write-up from TV Tome
CSI: New York, the third incarnation of the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation franchise and the spin-off of CSI: Miami, is a crime drama about forensic investigators who use high-tech science to follow the evidence and solve crimes in The Big Apple. Detective Mack "Mac" Taylor is a dedicated and driven crime scene investigator who believes that everything is connected and for everyone there is a story. He and his partner, Detective Stella Bonasera, a workaholic and a jack-of-all-trades, share a passion for the job. They lead a team of experts amid the gritty and kinetic city that never sleeps. Their team includes Danny Messer, a Brooklyn-born investigator with rugged good looks, an unflappable spirit and a colorful family history, and Dr. Sheldon Hawkes, a reclusive coroner who walked away from a promising surgical career after the traumatic loss of two patients. Joining them is homicide Detective Don Flack, an edgy, hardcore investigator with a quick wit, impressive forensic insight and limited patience with potential suspects. Rounding out the team is Aiden Burn, a smart and sexy investigator whose chameleon-like behavior allows her to adapt to any situation at any time. These skilled investigators, who see New York City in a whole different light, follow the evidence as they piece together clues and eliminate doubt to ultimately crack their cases.
Apparently, the theme song is from The Who again, 'Baba O'Riley'.

Oh my gosh! Look at this poster!!
My gosh, Gil Grissom (William Petersen) is DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS with his moustache!!! *drools!*
Odd, I don't remember him appearing in any episode of CSI like that though... and trust me, I WOULD remember something like that!
OK, this Character List might help those of us who have difficulties remembering names.
Characters:
Gil Grissom (William Petersen):
Grissom is the head of the night shift of the crime lab in the Las Vegas police department. Grissom is an outsider of sorts and is married to his work.
Specialty: Entomology
Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger):
Catherine is a single mom trying to raise a daughter while struggling with long hours at the crime lab. A former exotic dancer, Catherine has really worked her way up in the world, newly promoted to head of the swing shift of the crime lab.
Specialty: Blood-spatter analysis
Nick Stokes (George Eads):
Nick has a competetive spirit and wants to be the best he can (as in the first season when he and Warrick competed for a promotion).
Specialty: Hair and fiber analysis
Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan):
Warrick is a recovering gambling addict and has come a long way since the first season, now a very accomplished CSI.
Specialty: Audio/visual analysis
Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox):
Sara is a very sensitive woman who tends to let cases get the best of her. Especially domestic violence cases due to a dark family past.
Specialty: Materials and element analysis
Jim Brass (Paul Guifoyle}:
Captain of the homicide division of the LVPD, Jim Brass is a tough-as-nails detective who loves getting the criminals and serving them justice.
Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda):
Greg finally passed his proficiency test and is now a regular CSI in the field and out of the lab. Though his deductive CSI skills need polishing and experience, with Grissom as his coach he will be as good as the rest.
Al Robbins (Robert David Hall):
The coroner in the CSI lab, Dr. Robbins always helps the gang break cases and solve mysteries. -

I've often wondered about our version of the CSI ... how advanced are they? Do they go about conducting investigations the way their American counterparts are portrayed in the show? How much of the series is authentic?
When you become one, enlighten us, yes? -
even now, i can say it's all tv.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wah... really, ah? Kewl!!

meaning to say, yes those tech stuff do work that way but it's all too glamourised.
and even in US, diff states give diff powers to the cops and investigators.
in sg, we are high class lab tech.
the mata do the analysis whether this sample came from X Y or Z
anyway that's assuming i pass my exams this sem and merdock wants me -
Grissom is going under the knife tonight... maybe when he gets better, he'll be nicer to Sara.
I agree with Bismark, that the stuff they do on the show is over glamorized.
Bismark: What are the neccessary qualification? Do you have to belong to the SPF?
The "luminol" thing that they spray around to reveal blood and semen is highly toxic! It's amazing how they liberally they spray it all over-the crime scene! Is it bravery, idiocy or Hollywood artificiality?

OK, I dug into the Encyclopedia of Forensic Science that I just bought yesterday for $8.90 at a Popular bookshop and found this re. the 'Luminol' thing...Originally posted by ilovemyrolex:The "luminol" thing that they spray around to reveal blood and semen is highly toxic!

"Even in cases where all traces (of blood) has apparently been removed - say on ceramic or plastic - there are chemicals which, if sprayed as a mist on the surface, will reveal the former presence of blood. The reagent leuco-malachite green will indicate traces diluted so as to be invisible to the eye, and sprays of orthotolidine and phenolphthalein produce the same result - the former revealing 'invisible' stains as bright green, the latter pink."
Interesting, isn't it?
I was going to grab another two forensic science books available in Times the Bookshop at a 20% discount over the weekend but was on Night Duty and couldn't go. Sigh... -
Oh yeah! CSI will be on Channel 5 tonight at 10pm! I will definitely be staying put at home, gwai gwai, watching the show!Originally posted by ilovemyrolex:Grissom is going under the knife tonight... maybe when he gets better, he'll be nicer to Sara.
Today's episode shall be the last episode for this season. I wonder if they'll keep on bringing in this series! I sure hope so cause I enjoy watching CSI thoroughly!
(And I still cannot wait to see Grissom with all that facial hair!! Oooh-la-la!!!)

it's not really toxic.
anyway reviews on CSI by
a HSA staff who was interviewed by ST
HSA: the show makes it look so easy, as if 1 day u can find the murderer.
(this is a lame joke) in CSI, they find a strand of hair they know the person's name and address. at HSA, we can even find out his/her hp number." -_-!
my lecturer: "where got so fast catch murderer one. all all all so feake.
nvr wear mask, gown, hair cap, gloves when looking at evident" (word for word as my lecturer pronounced it) -
reminds me of my sch lib...haiz..ask them buy csi dvds....16weeks liao..going to grad liao still havent buyOriginally posted by Rhonda:Oh yeah! CSI will be on Channel 5 tonight at 10pm! I will definitely be staying put at home, gwai gwai, watching the show!

Bismarck, if you read it again slowly, you'll see that it neither supported nor refuted your point. All it did was to name two agents that could detect the presence of blood, even if invisible to the eye.Originally posted by bismarck:hmm i thought it binds to the haemoglobin in blood and fluroreses ? -

Rhonda, are you sure last night's episode is the last of the season?
Seems it didn't end properly.
Anyways, the next one is on the same time next week!
btw: did anyone watch the Practice? what was the last thing Alan Shaw said before he walked out the door???? -
the ending abit subtleOriginally posted by ilovemyrolex:Rhonda, are you sure last night's episode is the last of the season?

the answer is in the last dialogue with sam braun -
Yes, last nite is the season finale for Season 3. The ending is very subtle, leaves the audience craving for more... tats the make of a good tv series!Originally posted by ilovemyrolex:Rhonda, are you sure last night's episode is the last of the season?

Tot Alan Shaw said "i really love working here" right? -
Yup, he said that before he walked out, leaving the other partners a bit stunned.Originally posted by sweetie05:Yes, last nite is the season finale for Season 3. The ending is very subtle, leaves the audience craving for more... tats the make of a good tv series!

Y'know, I also have a probability of becoming hearing-impaired in my later years because well, grandma has it, mom has it and off and on, and me... well, I experience the occasional symptom.

Alan Shaw is one of those people with a personal code of ethics which may not be consistent with others or society at large..
but he will die before he betrays his own personal code...
thus he'll always be on the outside looking in...
he was let in before.. for a while.. and it felt good to him... "i really like working here".. but he knows it's not for him... and therefore he walks out...
the partners never knew or may never know why he did what he did.. he was trying to tell them.. but they'll be unable to understand...
he's the outsider, he'll never fit in anywhere, he'll probably never belong anywhere..
alas... -

That show is actually quite cheem. It comments on social issues a lot. Makes you think.Originally posted by sweetie05:wa...chim man...
The episode where a doctor was being sued hit close to home. It discussed issues that I've been discussing about with my American friend who was in Medical School. Apparently, lawsuits against doctors are so rampant there that it's hard to find a good gynaecologist these days because the poor gynaes get sued for every single birth disorder that baby might suffer from, even if it's genetically-inherited and thus no fault of the gynae's. Or, it could be something inevitable that happened during a procedure, an 'acceptable risk'...
Being quick to slap lawsuits on medical personnel also makes us think twice in resuscitation cases sometimes too. In cases where even the Good Samaritans get dragged to the courts, do you think people will continue being helpful?
When it's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't, it's the general public that ends up suffering the most. -
