Whiteout starring Kate Beckinsale and Alex O’Loughlin (probably two of the most beautiful people in the world) is coming out on September 11th. I can’t believe how fast September is coming. And Whiteout is alot like CSI but in Alaska…when it’s really dark. I was finally glad to see that they finally released a TV promo and stills that have Alex in them.
I have been neglecting my love of Eric Szmanda for a while now. I’m sorry Eric. I stopped watching CSI when Grissom left. It just wasn’t the same when he was gone.
Eric was at the closing ceremonies for the TV Festival in Monte Carlo on Friday (June 12). I might have to just stick with watching reruns so I can see Eric.
Probably by now you will have seen William Petersen on his last episode of CSI. I haven’t seen it yet but I am sure I will bawl my eyes out. For nine years Grissom has been that show. And for nine years I have loved that show. I used to have the biggest crush on his character because he was smart…and he knew how to solve any case. But, now that Warrick is dead (still crying about that one) they have made it a huge point that Grissom is having troubles grieving over Warrick. I know I am too! So tonight, Grissom leaves.
Entertainment Weekly features William on their cover and talks about his time on CSI…I think my favorite part was his greatest episodes. I picked three of the ones they picked to share with you.
Grave Danger (Season 5) – This was the episode that made me start watching the show when it was on instead of waiting for it to be in reruns. Quentin Tarantino directed this episode…the one where Nick was buried alive. This is my second favorite episode and Grissom was awesome in it.
Dead Doll (Season 8 ) – Grissom was on the hunt to find his girlfriend that was kidnapped by the Miniature killer. He did an amazing job….
For Warrick (Season 9) – After Warrick was shot by a shady cop, Grissom holds onto Warrick and he dies in his arms. This is really what makes Grissom start to be different and he has carried that on right through this season.
I will miss William..the show won’t be the same without him.
CBS is getting to be notorious with killing good characters off…first it was the show Moonlight (Hello…Twilight is sooo popular…dumb move!!), second it was Warrick in CSI, and now they kill off Jennifer Love Hewitt’s husband, Jim, in Ghost Whisperer. It could add another dimension but it could also be the dumbest thing ever done.
Jennifer was at a charity event in Los Angeles with her fiancee, Ross McCallm today. The two of them really look like a cute couple. I just hope Ghost Whisperer doesn’t get canceled because of the latest move.
I haven’t seen this episode yet…so don’t spoil it for me…Okay, I know that Warrick Brown’s funeral was on Thursday on CSI. I am still mourning the loss of Warrick ever since the season finale last season. CBS released the tribute to him. I will sob when I see this on the show!
William Peterson is leaving CSI: Las Vegas soon, I’m still not happy about this at all! He is the October 6 cover boy for TV Guide too! William recently sat down with TV Guide and talked about his leaving and how there might be a CSI movie in the future.Here are some highlights from the interview:
On a ‘CSI’ movie: “I’d love to see us make a CSI film. It could be good if we did it right. The whole world is interested in the show. That’s the other reason Grissom isn’t going to die of a brain tumor.”
What William Peterson would like to see happen between his ‘CSI’ character Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows (played by Marg Helgenberger): “We finally have sex? Believe me, it’s been brewing all along. For me, anyway. They have this understanding with each other. There’s a different kind of respect Grissom has for Catherine that would preclude a relationship on that level. Grissom’s not going away forever, anyway. Maybe he’ll go to Mexico, then come back and take Catherine with him. A tequila holiday!”
On how Grissom will say good-bye: “We’ve been mapping out my last 10 episodes that will take Grissom from one place to another. There will be no brain tumor for four episodes. That’s the easy way out. We’re trying to paint it as we have done with Jorja [Fox] and Gary [Dourdan]. We’re trying to make it as real and close to reality as the show has been all along.”
Immediate plans following his ‘CSI’ departure: “The Chicago theater community breathlessly awaits my return.” [This fall, Petersen will star in the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's production of 'Dublin Carol,' the play he took time off to star in two years ago.]
On plans to return to the ‘CSI’ set? “I’m going to come back and see the guys on set doing episodes I’m not in. And I’m staying on as a producer. The show is important to me, and I’m not abandoning it. I’m coming back on some level. I just don’t know what yet.”
I’m already crying…I wish that my two favorite characters weren’t leaving!
