Watched a really disappointing episode of CSI tonite.
I shouldn’t have. When they tried to kill off Sara Sidle in the season’s first episode, I knew it was only a matter of time. Why the writers/producers feel like they have to kill off a major character in a show many people really like… I just don’t understand it.
Law & Order had an excuse when Jerry Orbach died. They had no excuse, however, for bringing in Farina. blech!
When I first watched CSI, it was Marge Hellenberger that I really liked. A guy thing, I suppose. Liked her in that crappy Steven Segal flick, too. But as CSI has continued year after year, it was Jorja Fox’ character who developed professionally and as a person with some real flaws and personality.
Today, she walked out of the door. And the show itself was not fully completed. Did Hannah the kid do it? Is that why Marlin hanged himself? Or did he commit suicide in the jail cell because his little sister again manipulated him during a murder case, only this time the best he could hope for was a life in prison?
I don’t know. This show has left me empty. It’s only a show. But it bugs me mightily. Bugs me even more than when CSI-Miami killed Speed. But not nearly as much as when Seinfeld had that stupid and weak episode for its finale.
Jorja, we hardly got to know ya.

She left because they would not pay her on the same scale as Marge Hellenberger…they were trying to use the love interest thing with Peterson and the viewers didn’t seem to go for that and so
they wouldn’t give her a higher pay scale…now with the writers strike we will be watching re-runs anyway…I liked her better also..she was a more believable character..
