Am I broken? Yes.

Am I disappointed? Hell yes.

Do I want to have some words with CBS? Very much so.

But, am I surprised? Absolutely not. I guess we were all expecting to be left on a cliffhanger.

Could I BE more devastated? 🫠

1. I say high-functioning because that's the way I'm used to referring to myself, kind like how an elder trans person would say "when I used to be this gender". And I do see myself that way, because while I'm high-functioning, I am also high support needs, so I need to make that distinction. Besides, it's a form of reclamation. For me at least.

2. For the characters pictured here who aren't explicitly depicted as neurodivergent in canon, these are all my personal headcanon, ones that I have because I see those traits in those characters, and particularly because I identify with them, and feel safe. If you disagree, that's fine, but don't you dare go being nasty about it this month, on the neurodivergent website no less.

A three-by-three alignment chart meme. The headers at the top read, from left to right: "bold of you to assume", "how dare you assume" and "please assume" respectively. The headers on the left of the chart read, from top to bottom: "I'm high-functioning", "I'm low support needs" and "I'm neurotypical" respectively.

Each slot in the grid has a picture of a character from the series CSI or CSI: Vegas in it, with their canon or headcanoned neurodivergence additionally typed on the pictures themselves by the creator. However, the centre slot, the one denoted by "how dare you assume I'm low support needs" does not have any picture. Instead, it has the typed words "Me Autistic/ADHD/OCD". "Me" refers to the creator of this meme.

For the rest of the grid, we have:

Bold of you to assume I'm high-functioning - Greg Sanders, main character from CSI and CSI: Vegas, headcanoned to be ADHD

How dare you assume I'm high-functioning - Josh Folsom, main character from CSI Vegas, headcanoned to be autistic

Please assume I'm high-functioning - David Hodges, main character from CSI and CSI Vegas, headcanoned to be Autistic/ADHD

Bold of you to assume I'm low support needs - Beau Finado, main character from CSI Vegas, headcanoned to be ADHD/OCD

How dare you assume I'm low support needs - Me, who is Autistic/ADHD/OCD

Please assume I'm low support needs - Gil Grissom, main character from CSI and CSI Vegas, canonically autistic

Bold of you to assume I'm neurotypical - Aaron Pratt, character who appears in season 2 episode 7 of CSI, canonically Autistic/ OCD

How dare you assume I'm neurotypical - Randy Trachsel, character who appears in season 3 episode 8 of CSI, canonically had Down's Syndrome

Please assume I'm neurotypical - Sara Sidle, main character in CSI and CSI Vegas, headcanoned to be Autistic

The new CSI, Beau Finado? I think that's his name. The former chemist guy? I love him. I love the character so damn much. Like, if this show gets renewed, and no more legacy characters come back, I would still watch this show for him.

Recap: CSI Vegas // 202 - The Painted Man

I've been so extremely busy this week, I didn't manage my recap of last weeks episode sooner than today. But here it is...

Someone is getting a chainsaw massacre. Oh, wait, it's a place to get scared.

A painted body. Who paints the body of the person who he'd just killed?

Catherine is getting herself in trouble. Not really something new.

Scary Guy Alert.

I miss Hugo...

I like how Josh doesn't even need to think about helping Catherine finding her friend.

Someone is happy he didn't actually screwed something up.

Scary doesn't necessarily means evil. Wait, I'll take it back. That last shot... That look...

CSI: Vegas News

The finale edited and cut.

According to TVLine ; in the last scene of the unexpected finale, there was a hint of the big arc of season 4 if it had been renewed, but that scene was edited out. The scene teased ‘a new killer who preys on the unhoused with a hand scythe/sickle…’

So there actually was a cliffhanger, but it wasn’t about a character. It was about a whole new arc. I think we all expected the finale to leave us with a cliffhanger, and we were right.

Paula Newsome talked about the finale.

Paula Newsome gave an interview to TV Insider. She talked about the finale, Max's relationship with Josh, Josh’s possible romance with Allie, how Max would take it and playing Max again. Here are some excerpts of the interview.👇🏻

-> On her reaction to the unexpected cancellation:

First of all, it was a surprise. I’m not going to lie. We had such amazing ratings and people were really in love with the show. Business is what business is sometimes, and sometimes, the ball doesn’t bounce your way.

-> On Max and Josh’s relationship:

Trust is a weird word. He did some stuff to the man who was responsible for his mother’s death, right? That’s a lot. We are used to investigating those people. So yeah, trust was a big part of it. Not knowing whether he’s going to go off again. It’s like that family member that you love, but that you’ve got stuff that comes up with him.

-> On how Max would take Josh and Allie’s relationship:

She wouldn’t like it. [Laughs] I mean, truly, how do you do that? You know what I’m saying? They always talk about a lawyer who represents himself has a dummy for a client. So how do you separate your heart and your head? But that’s just more grease for the mill in the land of CSI: Vegas.

-> On whether she’d like to play Max again:

Hell yeah. I love this woman and it’s not gone yet. Gotta hold out hope. But I would return back to Max anytime.

She talked about many other things. You can read the full interview from the link above.

As she said, we gotta hold out hope. 🥲

Mandeep Dhillon talked about Allie’s development.

Mandeep Dhillon gave an interview to CBR. She talked about Allie’s character development and her potential romance with Josh. Here are some excerpts of the interview.👇🏻

-> On her thoughts about Allie’s promotion:

It was really fun. I mean, I loved seeing a different side of the character, and having to step into that role, I think it really suited her. I think that she was always made to step up and do that role.

-> On Season 3, Episode 4:

Out of all the episodes so far, that was my favorite, because I was able to really go there. Being by myself, I didn't mind. What was quite nice was, because [Allie] is just down in a basement by herself and there's not so much science or having to be expositional, I was able to really get into her mind and into that space.

The actor who they hired to play the cannibal was amazing, so we had so much fun being able to play off each other. But what was really fun as well was speaking to the director [Stephanie Marquardt], and her allowing me to choose where I wanted to be or what did I want to do. Being able to collaborate with her to say, "I think that she'd be sitting here," or "I think that she'd be there," or "I think this is where she'd be at right now." It was really a fun, collaborative experience.

-> On the relationship between Allie and Josh:

It did change a bit. I think when Allie gets promoted, it's tricky for her with Josh. Obviously, they've got that great bond and they're really good friends, and she wants him to do well in life. But she's very aware that she is his boss now, so the power dynamic sort of shifts a little bit. It's completely different to how we ended Season 2 -- but beneath it all, she's got his back and she'll always have his back.

I know what we filmed for Episode 10, but I also don't know what's made the edit... There's one scene that I think the fans will be a little bit satisfied with if they ship them, but I also don't know if they would've kept that in or not. Me and Matt [Lauria], on the day, were just improvising this little scene between us, which was quite fun.

If the scene she's talking about isn't the one where Allie rests her hand on Josh's shoulder and they're lost in each other's gaze and Serena sees them, you know what it means. We were deprived of a good Ransom scene. Whatever it was, we The Ransom Nation deserved that scene.

She also talked about what she’s brought to Allie. You can read the full interview from the link above.

CSI: Vegas scored its 2nd highest rating with its unexpected finale.

“With its unplanned series finale on Sunday night, the procedural rose 16% in audience to deliver a 4.8 million total viewers, its second-largest audience ever.” —TVLine

CBS, which attributed the show's cancellation to low ratings and to make room for new productions, has debunked its own thesis. The show's ratings had been steadily increasing over the last few weeks and peaked in the finale, although it was unplanned and there were scenes that were edited out.

We proved to CBS that they made a big mistake, but I don't know if they'll wise up.

So long, Vegas. Had a good run 💔

Still cannot believe we’re losing them next week. You’ll be missed, Queen of Vegas…

[nacrella]

Let me tell you, May 19th is cursed. (though it’s The Youth Day here)

I remember last year today, I woke up into a L&O universe disaster. We lost Muncy and Whelan all of a sudden. Their exits were so unexpected and sloppy written that I couldn’t even believe.

And this year, I’m losing CSI: Vegas on the same exact day… I thought my curse was that none of my favorite shows or characters lasted long, but I guess today is cursed too.

At least Mandeep’s debut single is going to be in the finale episode. Let us rejoice us with this ❤️‍🩹

Okay I just woke up into another chaos and I need answers WTH IS GOING ON ARE YOU SERIOUS SVU?? 

I've been crying since I woke up and I'll keep crying for some more time. Did Muncy actually leave? And your reason is that fans hated her?? Fans just started to like her!! Have you seen the hate for churlish? And what will happen to my dear veluncy 😭 I was expecting them to end up together. How could they do this to us? At the end of the day, all the bensler fans are happy... but we'll never get more scenes of our ship again. I'm sooo mad and sad at the same time. Veluncy was the only reason I kept watching svu but now I'm done with it. I didn't even watch the episode. And frankly, I'm not planning to watch it bc I know I'll cry AGAIN. The only thing they care about is bensler... I think bensler was Dick Wolf's tactic to keep fans hooked on the show for years. I thought that the fans would get what they wanted in the season finale and that veluncy would be paved the way. We didn't deserve this ending... I won’t believe it until Molly explains. I want muncy back! I want my veluncy back 🥺

And the terrible things don't stop there. Whelan's dead? Is he really? I can't get over how they write terrible endings to all my favorite characters. Duarte, Whelan and now Muncy... Whelan didn't deserve such an ending and so much hate. Most of the fans have so much hatred for the new characters and don't give them a chance. Then they say they're glad they're leaving and it drives me crazy. I think we would all be happy if a separate series for the bensler and a separate series for the side characters 🫠

What about those deleted scenes? I don't really care about the deleted scenes after Muncy's departure and Whelan's death, but they deleted the scene with Velasco working with Reyes. Everything I was excited about about this crossover has turned out so badly. Looks like I will keep crying for a while 🤧 Depression mode: on.

I just want to wake up again and see that it was all a nightmare. I’ll never be ready to watch these episodes. Unless Muncy comes back next season saying "hey I'm back", I won't be in a good mood. What will Velasco do without her? She was the only one who really trusted and loved him. As he said, Muncy was his “only real friend”.

I’m also sad about Jet and Jamie… they could make a cute couple 🥺 There might be an open door for Muncy but Whelan is gone forever now. I still don’t want to believe. He was baby Stabler. My tears will become a fountain when I watch the scene he dies (if I can watch it) Svu writers are really good at ruining good things…

I think it’s time for Benson and Stabler to retire.

Let's talk about what's on our minds. None of us seems to be able to get out of this depression for a while. I’m open to any comments 💔
