CSI: VEGAS 2x11:

'Trinket'

Where To Watch: CBS/Paramount+

Spoilers: Yeah, sorry.

Genre: Procedural

Reactions/Commentary Below The Cut

Finally! A petty crime crime scene! I've been waiting for something like this for far too long!

No, Beau, don't want to be Bill Murray in Ghostbusters! He was a gross piece of shit 😭😭 You're better than that! He didn't really do any science either 😭😭 You're my good boy, I blame the writers 😢

----

Ew, Folsom. I will never like that toxic POS. I will probably repeat that the first time I see him any episode.

----

God I love Beau so much. Mr. Wholesome.

----

TISSUES LEAVE TRACE! TOUCH IT WITH PLASTIC!

----

Dropping an investigation after a while when one person goes missing, I could kind of understand, but FOUR?! Four teenagers from the same fucking school? No. That's, no, you'd call in the FBI and work that shit forever. What the fuck? Who's idea was that for the story? Who the fuck is writing this episode?

----

Classic serial shit in this episode.

----

Oh no.

Oh my!

----

They told them that?

I mean, he could mute. Do they really know?

----

Dry drowning, right? That's dry drowning?

----

Yay! Catherine!

The quiet screaming 😆

----

Ladies, he's clearly gay. I'm surprised the bi detective didn't pick up on that.

”Older guy." Pedo. He's a pedo.

----

Wait, after she disappeared, they got rid of her room? That's not normal behavior.

"Send her on her trips." It's him. That gives him time to do things.

I hope this kid gets to live with Beau.

----

So, my guess is it's the father. His daughter found out, held her captive because he didn't want to kill her, but eventually did. The other bodies will be more decomposed.

STEP FATHER! Oh, he definitely did it!

The teacher is a direct. A pedo misdirect. I hope the boy doesn't go to him. But yeah, it's gonna be the step father.

----

Really? Ugh.

----

I meant to say this earlier, but I absolutely know the voice of this doctor.

----

I know in our state, psychiatrists have to keep their records for seven years, therapists for five. Idk about Nevada, but I doubt many psych people in private practice would keep ten years.wotht of records.

----

No, he's not safe. His step grandpappy is the bad guy.

OHHHHH, I get why he was scared of the water! Probably.

Storage unit. He kept her in a storage unit with the stuff, she drowned in there. Oh, no, not the storage unit. In the house. In the actual house. What a sick bastard. Kept her from her mother.in the house the whole time.

A secret fucking apartment, geezus.

----

Why would he have an apartment there? A secret apartment? If she was only there for four months? After being repeatedly abused? What? Why keep them locked in there? All this has to be bullshit. It definitely was.

----

Well, I was definitely right about this. Missed the twist though. But he also said "sent" earlier.

No crazy bitch.

----

Please, please, let Michael stay with Beau!

----

Oh, she ran. She's not coming back. I should have called that. The voice. I'm sure she's more known than I realized.

----

Aw, wish the kid went to live with Beau. Especially because he's going to live NEAR THE DUMP SITE!

Beau, you broke the case wide open. You belong in the field. BEAU! DON'T! THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SOLVED THAT CASE WITHOUT YOU! YOU CAN'T STAY IN THE LAB! I hope he gets back out there.

CSCI:Vegas season 3 predictions

So.... we all know how season 2 ended, with

Josh arrested for the murder of his mother's killer.

We also saw Ruby and Chavez telling him "they know he found him". Hence... pretty spot on they THINK he did it.

But, let's be honest. How many chances there are he truly did it?

Yep. Probably been framed. So, The first few episodes of next seasons they may have:

-someone either from the Night Shift or out of town (who will turn out to be a new series regular) investigating the case;

-a new dinamic within the team: I wouldn't be surprised if, after his arrest (and how she acted wotwards him), Josh's Break-up with Serena would be definitive. Please note that also Ruby- who once told Josh was her best and favorite csi, the one she trusted the most- seems to be sure HE DID IT.

-in all of this, pretty sure in season 3 we will see Josh and Ally's chemistry in full development.

CSI VEGAS | Ashes, Ashes: Folsom & Allie

[gregszandles]

CSI: Vegas 2x17

[asteralpine]

My CSI channel has been playing some of the later CSI seasons, finally with DB Russell and Finn and Morgan and everyone. Today they aired the episode where they finally dragged it out of Sara that Grissom had left her.

Does he ever come back to the show? More importantly, does he ever come back to his senses? Like. Sara Sidle is a gorgeous and fucking strong force of nature and does not need a man but does Grissom really just leave her???

Message me the answer, maybe? Christ, these episodes are close to 20 years old now, aren't they? But spoilers and all that. Other people don't like 'em.

Also. If you are seeing this and you've got any good GSR romance fanfics bookmarked somewhere, share the love? Or I guess any kinds of fics centering Sara. (I've got a huge crush on that woman. I think it's terminal.)

[justanothergreb]

Because nobody I know watches CSI Vegas and I have just watched the series 2 finale I need people to talk to! So to tumblr to whack the thoughts and see if anyone sees them.

Did Josh kill that piece of shit? Is he traumatised because his pal did?

Who is Penny engaged to?? Seeing people think its the assistant ME dude but I feel like it could be Greg (lol wild thoughts there Jackz). But then again the ME dude did go on a date earlier in the series so actually, maybe it is him? Oh it's exciting!

Will Greg come back? I sure hope so. Who from the old series will come back?

Will Josh and Ali ever get together?!?!

Literally me every time Josh is on screen. *dreams of Josh* (god I have a type)

The CSI Vegas: Season Two Finale

I am not okay.

[hollygl125-tww]

so do those two people from CSI get together or are they just like that?

This is such a totally delightful ask! (I mean, who doesn’t want an excuse to talk about their OTP! But also this is undoubtedly way more than you wanted to know, because who doesn’t want an excuse to talk about their OTP!) Thank you so much, @andmethefivefooter! 💛

Although it probably goes without saying, this answer is spoiler-laden.

Very short answer:

They were just like that for a really, really, really long time. Then eventually they got married. Then they got divorced. Then they got married again.

Slightly longer answer:

These two rival Josh and Donna in the length of their slow burn. It was quite a roller coaster ride. 🎢

She showed up in the second episode of the series as a nebulously-defined “friend” of his from San Francisco. (They’d met about two and a half years earlier at a forensics conference. I say they slept together at the conference, but that’s headcanon.) They were eye-fucking by the third episode. She tried to get him to go to dinner with her in season 3; he shot her down. But season 4 confirmed what we all knew: that he was just as into her as she was into him.

We found out at the end of season 6 that they’d gotten together at some point (later revealed to be about a year earlier). Season 8 confirmed he’d loved her the whole time (just as she had him). They got engaged. A few episodes later, she left the show, and we finally saw them kiss onscreen for the first (the first!), ever-so-heartbreaking time. Then he left the show in season 9, and they reunited in the Costa Rican rainforest (and kissed for a second—much happier—time!).

She came back to the show starting in season 10, and we found out they’d married offscreen. He never came back, though, so the incredibly unimaginative writers (very poorly) split them up during season 13. They ultimately reunited in the TV movie series finale that followed season 15 and literally went off into the sunset together on his (soon to be their) boat.

They returned together for the first season of CSI: Vegas, and it was confirmed that they’d remarried. They were flirty and loving and kind and supportive and beautiful and perfect and basically a shipper’s dream. And, at the end of the season, they finally kissed for the third (yes, third!) time (on a roller coaster, no less).

(This is my best GIF-set for an overview of the first fifteen years of their onscreen relationship. This one shows every time—yes, all three!—that they kissed.)

So, in sum, that’s something like the equivalent of eight full seasons of TV they spent onscreen together, and there were all of three kisses, two marriages, and one roller coaster ride. But, anyway, they’re amazing, and I love them. 💕💕💕

CSI: Vegas 2x10:

'Eyeballs'

Reaction/Commentary Below The Cut

I honestly would prefer endgame being Serena and Allie rather than them clearly wanting Folsom and Allie. I mean, Serena has already been establish as bi, so why not? Folsom is a POS and deserves to be single and alone with his level of toxic.

----

Oh that's interesting, but shouldn't they not have Chris on the case if killer specifically asked for him? Especially since he supposedly knows the victim.

----

Theme song 🎶 💃

----

Greg Sanders mention! I'm assuming he's coming back.

I'm hoping they won't have a "send them home and they get attacked" thing with Chris like they did with Elle on Criminal Minds (I'm watching that too right now).

----

DNA can't be copyright protected. SCOTUS literally decided that, not that this should have been a thing at all. It's fucking ridiculous. (source)

----

I shouldn't be ok with someone basically insulting someone's age, but these are characters and I hate toxic man Folsom. Yes,.it sets a bad example, but I'm in the mood to say fuck him.

Uh Folsom, sir, you are also (played by) a millennial. An elder millennial, but definitely a millennial.

----

Oh right, Catherine isn't in this episode. Marge is so damn hardworking.

----

I do like they are giving the Chris Park Character is getting a him-focused episode.

----

They probably had to make so many fake bodies for that.

----

Doing things to the thing they found without documenting things first 🙃

----

Jay Lee (Chris Park actor) is really holding his own as the center of this episode. Nice!

Double Jeopardy sucks in some cases, it really does.

----

(ugh I really wish I could make "my" tomato sauce, but I don't have any Prego (I cook it, season it, turn it into Bolognese))

----

That's not how you hold a gun.

----

I get deleting his account, he might have the temptation to go back. However, he taught some stuff on there that's interesting, and inspired others to lean science.

S3 Picard & S1 CSI: Vegas

This is a repost from my cohost account! Major spoilers for Star Trek: Picard, minor spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery, and all of the following outbound links are to a character's fandom wiki page.

i, uh, like trash tv. it's a problem. i was recently doing a rewatch of the hit FOX tv show 24 because that show is way more unhinged than i remember, even from the beginning. CW's The Flash is must-watch tv for me, i drink my coffee out of a mug with The Flash on it every thrusday when i watch the new episodes.

in my quest to watch more trash tv, i remembered there was a new CSI show out, CSI: Vegas. CSI is prime Josh Trash TV, it's a show i used to watch with my mom when i was growing up that we both agreed was trash (me a bit more than her) and we watched anyways because it was a thing to watch when it was on. not so much "must-see" tv, but more "must-observe". "must-study"? whatever lol

CSI: Vegas is a continuation of CSI, taking place in the same setting (Vegas) and includes fan-favorite characters like Grissom and Sara from the original series. it also introduces a whole new cast, who get a ton of time to bounce off of old favorites while also defining themselves.

the interesting thing is that the "gimmick" of the new series also builds on the formula of the old series, and plays with the tropes of copaganda procedurals. in the old series, there would be about two cases per episode. characters would get split down the middle to take on the two cases, doing their investigating and finding evidence and so forth, while also occasionally coming together to give each other inspiration. usually the seasons are monster of the week style, every episode's cases are unrelated, but longer character development happens over each week to tie the series together.

in CSI: Vegas, the setup is similar. one case is monster of the week, a place for the new characters to stretch their legs and get their development. the second case is about the season-long mystery: did David Hodges fake all the evidence that he came up with during the events of CSI?

it's a neat premise! a less-trash tv show would probably read the room of Current Political Happenings of 2021 usa and just go for it: yeah, of course the cop faked all this shit, that's what happens. you'd still fall into copaganda stuff, because then the premise of the show would be "the Good Cops have to put the Bad Cops away", but at least it would be a little different, a little more interesting. regardless, it's a neat premise that allows for a lot of old characters to come up and for nostalgia to be farmed, while also progressing the new characters.

also, aesthetically, the show looks like old CSI. like, it's touched up, things look more "crisp" in the Streaming TV Era (this is a CBS streaming TV show, after all) but it's still like. pun or one-liner that leads into The Who song *Who Are You. when they Do Science there's some goofy, over-the-top CGI animation of chemicals and wounds and all that stuff. even "weird" shots are still there? something about original flavor CSI is that they'd make it look nice. if someone was rebuilding a crime scene in their lab, or doing a lot of large-scale monotonous work, there would be some interesting way to show it off. in the first or second episode they do the same type of stuff, they're marking a burned-down pawn shop into quadrants and cataloging everything, and it's one of those sweeping time-lapse shots that you'd see on Tested when adam savage is building something.

that's a lot about CSI and CSI: Vegas, but what does this have to do with Star Trek: Picard?

see, S3 of Picard is kinda attempting to do something similar, except they're failing spectacularly. the general thrust of S3 is that starfleet is under attack and must be stopped by the Next Generation cast and friends. that, i think, could be a neat premise. sure, they announced S3 was going to be a Next Generation reunion season in the middle of S2 while the characters were doing time travel shenanigans to save the universe (it doesn't matter) so we knew that this adventure didn't matter in several ways, but okay. neat premise, brings everyone back for one more paycheck to play these characters again and hopefully provide a good season of something like Star Trek: The Next Generation.

right? like, you wouldn't say "here's the cast of Next Generation going on one last, big adventure" and not play to the strengths of the tv show Star Trek: The Next Generation, right? you'd want this show to feel like Next Generation but with a modern budget and effects, right? right?

reader. i have some bad news.

see, Star Trek: Picard is setup like Star Trek: Discovery. i don't have a problem with the structure of Discovery, but it leads to some storytelling choices. the strength of Discovery is that each weekly adventure can be mildly self-contained, but also can be moving a larger plot forward. this week we're learning about a new species in this part of the galaxy, and this adventure with them will help us get closer to figuring out who that red figure is. where Discovery falls apart is when it spreads itself too thin, and each episode of the season feels like Part 5 of an arc that could have been two episodes at most. "what's beyond the milky way galaxy" is a two-episode arc in other Star Trek shows, not a season-long question that we're slowly coming closer to an answer for in Discovery. ya know?

anyways, the first four episodes of S3 Picard are answering "what's goin' on with Beverly Crusher and her new son", which is a weird question to ask in Picard because they haven't acted like the character existed up until now. some episodes of S1 & S2 dealt a lot with "can Picard love anyone?" and seemingly left out a very relevant character from that discussion. you do see her freak son once in S2 and he looks like he's hosting the aftershow talk show (it doesn't matter).

but that driving force for those episodes is a two-parter at best. 4 episodes? that seems a bit poorly paced. that's cause it is! there's another thing going on, where Raffi is on an undercover mission to find out who stole some portal tech and used it on a starfleet recruitment building. Worf is also there. Oh, also Ro Laren is there for an episode. oh, and now the changelings from DS9 are a threat again, and are behind a huge, slow coup of starfleet. i dunno, it's all... blurring together.

also, nothing means anything in this show. at the end of S1 of Picard Picard dies and he gets put into a Data-style android and he's still old and will die of natural causes anyways, just when the actor himself passes. it doesn't matter, it's come up as a joke a handful of times since. at the end of S2 Picard Picard befriends the new borg queen, one of the main characters they left in 202X during the season's events, which allows for a new benevolent borg who wish to join the empire. it doesn't matter, hasn't come up since and seemingly is not significant this far into the season... despite the fact the reason new main character Liam Shaw hates Picard and people from his Enterprise-D is because Picard got captured and turned into Locutus of Borg.

it's the combination of nothing mattering and not using the strengths of the show you're obviously trying to reference and call back to that makes Picard a worse "nostalgia" show then something like CSI: Vegas, which is a wild thought to put online. now the thrust of the season is "what are the changelings up to" and i don't care, really. i want to know how it ends out of fascination, but i know it won't matter. nothing else has, events in one season of Picard don't seem to matter to the next season, so who can say if this will even matter to other Star Trek shows made after this. Discovery is now set, what, 1000 years in the future of what's happening in Picard that it will likely never come up. Strange New Worlds takes place after Enterprise but before Star Trek: The Original Series that it will also never come up there. this is the last season of Picard, so it's likely any relevance these 3 seasons of television have to the greater Star Trek universe dies at the end of this 10 episode season. by April 20, 2023 it's likely this show will not be relevant to the Star Trek stories being told, a meaningless addition that the shows itself will no longer reference. Star Trek: The Animated Series will be more important to the fictional setting and stories.

it's frustrating! i love this weird universe and their weird shows with my whole heart, and it's weird that CSI: Vegas, a copaganda nonsense show made for streaming platforms to get the coveted "olds who love Gil Grissom so much" audience, is doing this nostalgia bait in a way more competent way and (crucially!) a way more entertaining way. all they had to do was "more Next Generation but with more modern tv show sensibilities" and they fucked it up so bad!

[melanieexox]

TVLINE | What’s coming up on the Josh-Serena-Allie front? In the next episode, Allie gets trapped by an explosion; that seems like the kind of plot device that might get Josh thinking about how strongly he feels about somebody….

This is giving a little bit away, but it’s tricky because I want to run in there and save her, but I’m placed in a really tense situation of being told I cannot run in there and I can’t break the rules. So I ask myself, is this worth getting fired over? Because it is Allie. So yeah, that’s a tough one, because obviously she’s my favorite person.

You said that Josh wants to be with Allie, but do you think either of them are really ready for what that would entail?

Who knows? I mean, you never know what that would actually be like. There’s so much affection, desire, and admiration from Josh to Allie, and I can’t speak for Mandeep’s take on Allie, but it seems like it’s reciprocated. But you never know what’s actually going to happen when you give something a shot romantically. It could be everything you’d ever wanted, or it could blow up. I think there’s such a deep bond with those two and a real friendship, and then there’s a lot of attraction. I know if you asked Josh what’s the one thing in this world you probably want more than anything, it would probably be Allie.
