last night's tarantino CSI

[h.p. Love]

I'm not a regular CSI watcher. I guess one of the few I've seen was one of the more ridiculous episodes. But I taped last night's season ender written and directed by tarantino. The first half hour was pure QT, discussion over a Dukes of Hazzard board game, a story about a late night stand off, etc. He's almost getting kind of David Lynch with his signature touches. For network tv, some serious gore in the second half. And a classic line: "Your son had a good heart."

I never watched ER but I watched tarantino's. I don't think he wrote that one and I wasn't impressed. This CSI was impressive.

I too watched the QT episode of CSI last night.  Color me impressed!  I didn't think that it would be too much like QT's other work, but I was wrong.  He really showed he was behind the camera in the last hour of the episode.

I never watched CSI until a few months ago.  I've been a huge fan of CSI: Miami since it's inception but just never got around to watching the original show.  Thankfully SpikeTV has been showing reruns of CSI and my wife and I usually sit down and watch two episodes of it a night.  I just can't get enough of it.

Last night's CSI was one of the best that I've seen.  I'm glad that QT really got behind it, and luckily for him, he had some great characters/actors to work with.

I also liked his use of music in it, especially with the tape player in the background bit. The internet/vent/light thing was a cool idea too. Even though I knew the guy would survive, being a main cast member and all, I was still caught up in the excruciating suspense of the last half-hour. It all had a Crypt-comics vibe going.

The way that midget guy (or REALLY short guy) keeps creeping up in Kill Bill 2/Sin City/and now CSI is pretty Lynch-like to me. I keep expecting him to talk backward and float around the room. That is one wonderfully creepy dude.

Completely OT, but I was thinking about this the other day: is there a current TV show I'd go out of my way to see.  It's been a long time for me since the answer to that is 'yes.' I've never watched any of the CSI variants.  The show I cannot get enough of is "Blue Collar TV."

And I look forward to it each week.

Then you might be a red... NO, I'm kidding.

I've been working nights for several years now so I only get to see the shows in reruns on the local stations. I'm starting to get into CSI .

When I was a kid the snydicated versions of shows still on the air had different names assigned to them. I remember Ironside was called The Raymond Burr Show and the b/w episodes of Gunsmoke were called Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshal . I think the CSI reruns should be called "Grissom and the Dead People."

I know this matters NOT AT ALL, but I forgot to mention that there was a Cabin Fever poster in the background and one suspect wore a Lucio Fulci: Godfather of Gore t-shirt. A chainsaw was also used during an autopsy.
