I'm sorry, but I just have to say, despite a severe lack of Warrick, Greg and Grissom, I absolutely adored it!!!

OK, so I'm one of the fans who actually likes Ronnie and the freshness she brings to the show. I love new faces, if they're well acted and well defined (I wasn't too fond of Sofia because I'm not too fond of Louise Lombard, but I love Jessica Lucas).

Can I just say... Wendy in a slasher flick??? CLASSIC! And Hodges' reaction was adorable, I loved it. Oh wow, it was fun watching Wendy sliced in half by a chainsaw. And Super Dave and Doc Robbins watching the Weatherly Adams movie in the morgue... so fantastic.

The tension with Ronnie and Catherine's storyline was spot-on! My roommate, who isn't a CSI-watcher, actually watched it with me and loved it too. The storyline was very classic horror movie, and had me on edge from beginning to end. Plus some excellent humor! Hodges and Wendy, Catherine and Dickie, Dave and Doc Robbins, Zach the director (a fantastic character! Wish we could see him again!)

So there was no GSR in this episode, but an adorable little Sandle-ish scene between Greg and Sara (the ONLY scene Greg was in for the whole show) that introduced the reason Sara might be leaving... I wonder where she'll go, what she'll do, and when she'll be back? I wonder how Grissom will take it? Warrick really missed out on a fun episode! Poor Gary Dourdan.

All in all, I think that Jessica is getting some fantastic character development, Marg had a very fun role as the "beautiful cop that saves the day," Eric and Jorja had a great scene, Liz and Wallace are developing an adorable romance, Robert and David had some clever reparte, and George and Paul did some fabulously classic investigating! I loved this episode!

I have to say, the endish part of the episode scared me witless. It was really dark in the room and I thought something scarey would happen. Only kind of. I could sleep, though. So, that was good. I was really pissed off that there was NO gsr in that ENTIRE episode!!!!!! I mean, there was like no Warrick, Greg, Grissom, or Sara!! I was really hopefull. But, noooo. I really thought that Ronnie was going to die. Just because I was actually starting to like her. I hope she stays on for the rest of the season. I LOVED the morgue scenes. I think that there should be alot more of those funny doc robbins and David scenes. It was amazing. Doc Robbins was analyzing the anatomy in the middle of a horror movie! And David was eating Popcorn out of an organ jar! It was amazing. And the whole Catherine and Dickie thing was amazingly funny. On the whole, I agree with you. (but, there should have been at least ONE gsr scene to help me through the week.)
