    CSI is not looking for a facsimile, so fans can rest assured that Fishburne will evolve into a unique and valued lead on his own.

    I'll miss Grissom, but welcome Langston's brusque authority: lotsa possibilities for friction with the prickly CSI crew.

    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.

    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 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.… Expand

    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.… Expand

    Slickly made superfluous and souless forensic porno,.... and critically-taken seriously (as above) no less... FGS America - grow up. It seems great cos it is gratuitous and manipulative, but for the rest of intelligent humanity this hold lasts about four episodes... and yet, here you are ons eason one million, lapping it up in continued primetime (and even, disgustingly, taking the show seriously at wards shows... while shows like the soup happily mock its absurdity) slots like other dumb countries do (australia), who rather than live a life worth living, would just be happy aping the USA. Aim higher than the gutter - you might be surprised what the world and real life and emotions are like... it's a good world out there. Forensic porn does not form part of it or its aspirations. Shame on you.… Expand
