A letter to the Writers of CSI

Dear Currently Striking CSI Writers,

I just saw your newest episode of CSI:NY and I must say, I am very disappointed with you ability to hook your viewers on an emotional level.

Now, I’ll admit that I only watch the New York show, mainly because the men are a lot more attractive on New York as opposed to the Las Vegas of Miami shows.  I’ve been lusting for Gary Sinise since he played Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump and he was the motivating factor into getting me to watch your show.  I know Miami is technically a lot more entertaining, what with David Caruso and his fabulously snappy one-liner deliveries, but the rest of the cast annoys me.  Same with the original CSI.   I feel like punching that Marg Hamburger, or whatever her name is, in the face when watching Vegas.

But I digress.

So you have building up this story line involving Mac (Sinise) and some mysterious stalker, and honestly, I really could have cared less about who it was.  This past episode wrapped everything up in a neat little package and sent us on our way.  I think I was more entertained by the fact that poor Stella just can’t get a break when it comes to the men in her life.  Last season she was nearly murdered by her boyfriend, and then this season, you pair her up with an ex-Dawson Creeker who showers her with gifts and adoration, only to find that he was doing so in order to bait her boss into some elaborate set-up.  Are you going to turn her into a lesbian for the second half of the season?  Because I know if I kept running into these kinds of fucked up relationships with men, I’d definitely be considering switching teams.

I must give you some credit, however.  This season’s big mystery was definitely more intriguing (Albeit, not by much) than the lousy job you did last year regarding Lindsey’s past and the “will the or won’t they” tension between her and Danny.  (A topic I see you haven’t even touched in this current season.  Are we to believe that they are still fucking?  Because the chemistry is just not there)

Why don’t you just stick to the snappy puns and straight forward crime solving.  This futile attempt at trying to create back stories for your characters is really quite annoying.  Unless it’s going to involve Eddie Cahill’s character.  Any excuse to give that yummy piece of meat more screen time is OK with me.

Thank you,

ErnieBot
