I think it'll be hard to forget some of those unusual deaths which happened near the end of the season, particularly the bald man who was killed by a turtle which was dropped by a bird in " The Descent of Man." Season nine was definitely a season of change. Nick Stokes ( George Eads) nearly got wasted by an elderly Korean woman in " Say Uncle" and Langston and Adams were both taken hostage in " No Way Out." The investigations pretty much ran the gambit, from the serious to the wacky. The CSIs got themselves into some precarious situations this year. The ninth season had a very good mix of episodes.
Watching him learn how to fingerprint objects and assist Doc Robbins was fascinating, but as the season went on, Langston seemed to stop learning anything new and became just another CSI, kind of lumped back in with the rest of the CSIs. He's a rookie CSI so he gets to learn from the ground up. He wasn't brought in to take over Grissom's role as supervisor. Petersen has been longing to leave the show to pursue other work, principally plays.
Bringing in Fishburne finally opened up the door for William Petersen's departure. Langston got involved in a murder investigation when he asked an accused murderer to speak with his class. Langston was introduced in the ninth episode, " 19 Down." as a professor at a local university. The other big cast addition was the hiring of A-lister Laurence Fishburne to play Dr. Get this woman in SWAT and out of the lab! Her love for guns and action reminds me more of Dirty Harry or Martin Riggs. I didn't think much of it at the time, but Riley slowly turns into more of a cop than a CSI in my opinion. One of the first things that Riley said when she walked into the lab was a comment about how she didn't get a gun with her work phone and "Welcome" booklets. She had a certain attitude like Sara did, so while their characters may be quite different, some aspects feel familiar.
To "replace" Sara Sidle, Lauren Lee Smith was brought in during "Art Imitates Life" to play Riley Adams. He even made a comment about how his dog seems to be depressed and won't eat. This, coupled with Sara leaving, had Grissom up at night, unable to sleep. A grief counselor was brought in at one point and it was clear that the loss hit Grissom pretty hard. The episodes which followed "For Warrick" didn't forget Warrick. It's still gut-wrenching to watch Warrick expire, especially knowing that the shooter was someone he should have been able to trust, one of his own. Brown was fatally shot by the Vegas Undersheriff McKeen at the end of the eighth season and the cliffhanger was brought forward to the ninth season premiere, " For Warrick." Going back and watching the season premiere is still emotional. Jorja Fox really left in season eight, but she came back for a pair of episodes in the ninth season to mourn the death of Gary Dourdan's character, Warrick Brown. For a show that was on for eight seasons, this was a big and sudden change. All three were popular among the CSI faithful and it meant we were going to have to learn to like a new bunch of CSIs. The departure of William Petersen ( Gil Grissom), Gary Dourdan ( Warrick Brown), and Jorja Fox ( Sara Sidle) were all major blows to the show. This was radically different from previous seasons which really never saw any of the main cast members leave. Sure on Mr Robot I get a kick out of seeing Elliot typing in proper command lines but it's something my non-techie friends don't even realise and it adds nothing and they probably come out of it understanding less of what just happened than they do CSI Cyber as its strips out or simples all the complicated technical steps so they get the basics.CSI 's ninth season saw significant changes to the cast.
These shows get pitched the latest tech fairly often to in the hope it will get featured and help them generate more funding in the hope of getting it to commercial sales stage.Īnd the skipped 'technical' parts that are left out are t really needed for the mass aucidence. It's also like most of the tech you see on any of the CSI's cutting edge enough that it's beyond the resources of these forensic departments. It's made to look further like 'science-fiction’ in the way they show the audience what is being seen. The 'holodeck' was used on NY first and actually is an actual piece of tech that is out there, It's just in the process of simplifying it for the audience and not having some thing obscure their face too much (which is why these crime scene techs are never wearing those suits that real,forensic people wear) they have lost a vital part of the equipment and that's the glassss as the tech is an AR solution.
