Tarantino is OFF DA HOOK!

OK, so after Dubya got finished yapping last night, I hunkered down for two hours of CSI anticipating that it was the season ender from last season to lead into next week's season premiere. Hmm, what are these two episodes that I have seen before? WTF happened to my episode? DAMN YOU DUBYA!!!!!!!

Thankfully, as TV addicts (Hi, my name is Dtrini. I am a TV addict), we have time-shifting on Rogers Digital Cable. So, after some hunting around, and resisting the urge to sneak a peak at the new Survivor (taped on DW's computer to be watched later), I finally found the episode on CTV Calgary. And it was the right episode! W00T! Msmittens has been raving about this episode, directed by Quentin Tarantino, since she saw it and I refused to hear any details so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, DW fell off to sleep on the futon and missed the whole thing (though, she would have freaked at a few scenes).

Anyhow, I will not divulge details in case you get a chance to see it yourself if you have not yet. I will say that though the man can be a touch off at times, he is a bloody genius at what he does. Just when I thought I had it wrapped up but thought there was way too much time left (so maybe an extended side story or wrap up?), he slaps me awake again to ensure that I knew more was coming. Just when you thought, okay that was enough suffering, you can wrap up now, he adds a little more. I could not endure what this person did, that's for sure. The end would have come different and much swifter for me I think. It really is a testament to the writing and to the direction. The lighting, the colour, the setup, everything. It really could have been made into a separate CSI movie, released in the theatre, if a few more things got fleshed out. Yes, I personally thought it was that good an episode.

So, if you taped it, watch it. If you have not seen it or can get it on tape, hope that they show it again this year. If you like the show, and thought it got a bit plodding in the middle this year, or watered down with the other two, this episode will restore your faith. Oh yeah, Quentin rocks!

Ciao.

BTW, Season 6 starts next Thursday (Sept 22). :D

And someone shut Dubya up. Enough with the freakin' apologies. Just do something other than yappin'

DW would like to see the episode (and is a little miffed I saw it and she did not). If you have it on tape still, please pass it on to her.

That was an incredible episode, dtrini, but I must admit I had some trouble with it. Y'see (this has been edited so I won't give it away for those who haven't seen it), the guy that was in the thing for that whole time? He's a dead ringer for my Ex. So though I was hoping things would be okay, the other, darker and far more vindictive side was relishing the whole predicament.

I also think that Tarantino should see a therapist...quickly. The man is just twisted.

Great episode, though. :oP
