Shock Waves

What a terrible episode, i was hoping for a great episode to set this season off running, i wasn't expecting much after seeing the final episodes of season 10. They seem to be relying of Fishburne to pull a rabbit out of his hat to save the show.

i can't see this show getting a 12th season. Get rid off Laurence Fishburne, he is dragging this show down deeper and deeper each episode. He's a good actor, but no way is he suited to CSI.

They have to somehow tease William Petersen back or get a better actor like Kurt Russell, Jonathan LaPaglia, John Lithgow or at least hold some screen tests and let the fans decide who they should choose. CBS needs to have talks with Jerry Bruckheimer and quickly before this gets too far out of hand.

I enjoy watching this show as often as I can. This season-started had such great potential. The story revolved around a bombing that created quite a scare to both the citizens of Las Vegas and police officers.

That being said, it was all soiled by adding Justin Bieber into the mix. He felt so out of place and did not seem to fit in with the group of people his character was involved with. He was supposed to be part of a radical group who opposes the way the US government functions. His acting was emotionless and made the actors he interacted with look bad. I say shame on everyone who suggested this idea of brining Justin in, and allowed it to actually happen. It is so disgusting when shows sell out on a "pop sensation" like Bieber, especially when they can't act at all and have no prior acting experience and most possibly training. I think it would not have been as distasteful if Justin was good at acting. He needs to go to acting school before he takes any future roles on anything to do with him reading from a script. As for CSI, they need to make sure their future guest stars can actually act and not just sell out for popularity.

Bieber wasn't much to get excited about but it's not the worst acting I've seen from anybody. Maybe the director or somebody helped in that area. Bieber is not somebody I would be interested in watching on TV or in a movie anyway.

I was mostly interested to see Sienna Guillory who played the bomb tech, Kacey Monahan. If that is who the previous reviewers were talking about, Sienna Guillory is an actor from the UK. I've heard her speak in interviews and that is her British accent.

The rest of the episode was not interesting to me but not a regular viewer or fan of CSI. This is probably one of ten episodes I have watched over the years. I like the rest of the cast though just not into the show that much.

awesome opening to a season with probably the best pre credits sequence ever. No quips, just action, excellent acting from George Eads as usual 'There's another bomb!!!' i've heard that Marg Helgenberger is leaving in episode 19 of this season which will make Nick the ranking CSI, well deserved but I am thinking that the Producers will find a way to make Langston the Supervisor, good characher but a level 2 CSI. Greg Sanders is more qualified!

I do agree with the other reviewer who says that they may as well call it the Ray Langston hour, Laurence Fishburne is an awesome actor but he isn't Grissom and never will be. Biggest name actor does not always mean best for the show.

Cant wait for episode 2

I like this show; I always have. It generally has decent plots, good, sometimes witty, dialogue and it's pretty well acted.

Then this episode.

Who is this bomb disposal woman supposed to be and where did she get that accent? Does it sound authentic to people outside of the UK? I'm guessing that its some Hollywood/UK hybrid; absolutely atrocious. I'm guessing I'm not the only brit to cringe when she said "sodder" instead of "solder". More than once.

Then came that annoying talentless brat Justin Beiber. Who made the decision to cast him and what were they thinking? Are they trying to stay "relevant" and attract a younger audience? Don't bother - stick to your die-hard fans before you alienate them.

Get a grip Bruckheimer
