    I am a die hard obsessed CSI fan. Despite the emotional kill offs (Speedle, Alex, Warrick, Sarah, all the many secondary charcters...and now Grissom, ) I'm still dedicated but not so captivated as before. Some of the recent new episodes on both MIA and VEGAS have been, well, kind of stale. It's not the same and certainly won't be when Petersen leaves. Fishbourne might be a I am a die hard obsessed CSI fan.

Fishbourne might be a sharp and accomplished actor, but does he qualify to be Gill Grissoms successor and how will he fit in with the tight knit Vegas crew, whose synergy is the thing that keeps them going.

    I really enjoy the new life that Fishburne brought into the show. Grissom was tired and was dragging the show into a parody of itself. So glad that the show has gotten back to the crime as the main focus and not the inter-office love relations.

  1. Fishburne, however, has done some terrific acting, and Langston is a character who's strong enough (though a nontraditional one for police shows) to firmly take Grissom's place at the table. Just in a different seat.

    If you were worried about your favorite show's favorite character's replacement, rest assured that Fishburne's Langston is different enough to walk easily in Grissom's paper lab shoes.
  3. Fishburne doesn't show up until halfway through the episode and mostly stays in the background once he does, letting the intellectual chess match between Grissom and DJK be the focus. And that feels right.
