CSI: You, Me, A Party and A Dead Guy

Well, another season of CSI: is underway, and it's quite the bloodbath. I must start this re-cap off with the whole, Grissom/Sarah are they together/are they not together million dollar question: No official answer has been given. Aside from Grissom hand delivering Sarah a veggie burger (and leaving Warrick with nothing...) we're still left wondering about the two of them. Damn it! And even worse, the season premiere was a "to be continued" and the ending, well...you'll see.

Opening scene is Cirque De Soile and a party thrown by none other that Katherine's dad (and continual murder suspect) Sam Rampart. As it would turn out, it was a party to blow up the Rampart Casino and what kind of party would Rampart throw without a dead body popping up? Anyways, what seems like a suicide (and on CSI, it's usually never a suicide) warrents Sarah and Warrick's CSI skills when it becomes apparent that most suicides don't have the gun in their hand after pulling the trigger. While their investigating the Rampart death, Cirque De Soile is having a circus all their own. Katherine and Grissom investigate a girl's body found crushed backstage.

So there are the deaths, and what threw me for a loop was that out of both deaths, there isn't one murder. After accusations of dead guy #1's business partner killing him for money (he's $1 million in personal debt) it turns out it actually was a suicide. Go figure! That just about NEVER happens on an episode of CSI: There is ALWAYS a murderer. To throw us off even more, the girls death actually turned out to be an accident? OK what has happened to the number 1 show in television?!? The last 10 minutes of the premiere brings back the CSI we know and love, and in a gutt-wrenching way. Grissom begins investigating a death where their was a model of the scene built for him upon his arrival. Posing the question: "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Or in this case, which came first, the dead guy or the staged scene. Knowing this can't get wrapped up in the next minute, I started to realize that this episode isn't over tonight. And I am forced into another week of waiting...I waited all summer! Even worse, after a night of dancing with a really hott Nick (he looks real good this season with his shaved head...) to John Mayer-who I also have a mini crush on- Katherine gets something slipped into her drink! EVEN WORSE, she wakes up the next day in some sleazy motel, butt naked, and all alone. Leave it to Katherine to collect evidence on herself using things around the motel room. I have a feeling she is going to be the one to watch this season. So now, we wait. Until next week...

P.S Check out my re-cap this Sunday night on for Desperate Housewives, it's sure to be better than last season!
