DISQUS

Screen Rant testing: CSI: Miami – Season 7 Story and Cast Notes

  • Gary · 1 year ago
    I realize its no secret Horatio is coming back but couldnt they come up with a better title then Ressurection?
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    Agreed. One of the lamest titles I have heard in a long time and so obvious!
  • Bruce Simmons · 1 year ago
    i think they have quite the challenge surrounding H. He is the driving force behind the CSI team but Caruso has been so mono-syllabic with his character portrayal, that they have multiple challenges.

    If you're a fan of his, you're good. If not, you see these things.

    Otherwise, I like how the rest of the team carries the stories forward and how the creative team is starting to develop a back story and slowly but surely filling it in for H.
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    What really annoys most of the viewers is that the super-hero-grandeur Horatio Caine seems to have developed. HE has to be on the winning end EVERY time. No matter how unrealistic or how bad aree the odds against him.
    In episode "To Kill a Predator" Caruso's character was beating up a defenseless suspect. A huge NO-NO for many viewers.

    David Caruso, beating somebody up?
    (That's gotta look pretty funny)!
    Was that inbetween striking a cool looking pose ???

    These CSI shows are some of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
    So unrealistic and over the top.
    (The Who songs crack me up).
    The actors are so image concious its like a male fashion show.
    (Fringe is a better show )

    I used to love William Petterson from "To Live and Die in La" but when he did CSI, he turned into a soft spoken wimpy soccer dad.
    David Caruso just looks like a redheaded ghost of a metrosexual freak,,,
    (Sure he's a nive guy).
    Sorry Bruce, but this show really makes me laugh... ;-)
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    They faded into black before it got serious. But Caruso was getting rid of his watch andd told the poor perp that he just had resisteed arrest, thus is deserving of what is about to come.
    I don't know if this originally was the writers' idea or Caruso's. It was pretty cheesy and upset a lot of people.

    I love your metrosexual remark. I think Caruso may have a career as a catalouge model in mind when CSI Miami closes forever. He poses so frequently that it looks like a rehearsal for a fotoshooting!
  • 790 · 1 year ago
    Lol Vixen,,, I don't like to bag on ppl for their looks but actors are a whole nother ballgame.
    David Caruso has allways come off as a guy that thinks he's (all that, and a bag of chips) but come on,,, my Mom laughs at him.
    The opening CSI-M titles alone make me laugh MAO!!

    Friend of mine saw David at LAX, instead of signing autographs he was handing out baseball card size pictures of himself. (Pre-autographed).

    Caruso, is comical. I've only liked him in one film, and I believe it was called "session 7" it was a very well done horror film...
  • samantha · 1 year ago
    "Resurrection" is a superb title, far superior to many they've had. The promos look promising, especially Jonathan Togo.

    IMO, Caruso is the better actor of the three CSI's leads, though the series doesn't showcase this. All are over the top, but isn't that a requisite for survival on primetime tv?
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    Exactly. How many celebs do you know who carry pre-signed autograph cards with them? Sometimes he even hands them out when people don't ask him for it.
    It is simply ridiculous.

    Some actors shine with talent. And those who haven't any "shine" with poses. Caruso clearly belongs to the latter.
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    Caruso is the worst of ALL three leads. Sinise and Petersen have at least some talent.
  • Gary · 1 year ago
    Speaking of backsory,
    are we ever going to get the scoop on that murder case Horatio was involved in
    Back when he was in New York before he became a cop?
    I think it had something to do with his mothers death.
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    No, not very likely since the writers of CSI Miami are not too much interested in continuity (or so it seems). The last we heard of it was in season 4. However, it would be very interesting to see how that pans out. It is preferable to the father/son/ex-story that seems to be going nowhere.
    But they promised us that HoCaine is going to be "darker". Whatever this iss supposed to mean!
  • Bruce Simmons · 1 year ago
    Vixen: You mirrored a thought I had in my mind about Caruso's portrayal, "super-hero-grandeur", and I think that coins it pretty well.

    I don't mind where H is going. Getting darker means a little more depth to Caine than we've previously seen. (Or at least that would be my supposition on the matter!)

    Is it possible the show runners have heard the fans? If everyone makes enough noise and it's a consistent noise, it's hard to ignore.
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    The show-runners at least tried to give in to some fan-pleas to put Horatio back into the lab. At least for one episode.

    I agree. If getting darker means more more depth to Horatio Caine that would be fine.
    However, how "darker" can get someone who alredy has eliminated (killed) 9 people, beaten up a suspect and bribed/intimidated a witness?
  • KRoseLynn · 1 year ago
    I take back my complement, you're no better than Vixen.
  • KRoseLynn · 1 year ago
    Disregard last post please.
    Wrong message board.
    That comment was intended for you, Bruce.
    I apologize.
  • JC · 1 year ago
    I have loved CSI Miami and watched it faithfully. Horatio is the talk in my home. Horation IS CSI Miami. Now that this particular change has been made and you know what they say ... "if it works, don't change it." Should I not see HORATIO on CSI Miami I moving to Nash Bridges who is just as wonderful. You probably have guessed ... I am a HUGE Horatio fan, I loveeee Horatio. Wake up!
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    If they would go back to the roots and if Caruso could decide to start acting again instead of posing I would be a fan again. But the way I see Horatio Caine now - what is the difference between him and a common criminal?
    Only the badge!
  • Gary · 1 year ago
    Vixen,
    ever watch 24?
    Jack Bauer crosses the line way more then Horatio Caine .
  • Vixen · 1 year ago
    No, but then Jack Bauer doesn't pretend to be above all the others. Horatio likes to lecture people that nobody is above the law etc. However, since the laast two seasons he seems to break the law constantly. Just a thought.
  • Leonard · 1 year ago
    Where can I watch the first show of the season? I don't know why CBS doesn't have it on their web-site? I would like to see ressurection and since I work nights, the only place I can see the shos is on the web.

    thanks
  • Bruce Simmons · 1 year ago
    I'm looking around Leonard. I find it irritating that CBS has pulled it already. And the few other spots on the web I've found it does not make me happy... one site, when I went to check out their version, popped up an *friendfinder web page...

    I am not sure you will find a legitimate version out there and I won't propogate the questionable sites I've found.

    If you go looking, be cautious on where you go.

    Have you ever considered a DVR or some such service like that? It might be a fair option for you, depending on costs.

    Vic, any thoughts?
  • Vic Holtreman · 1 year ago
    I haven't checked but maybe try Hulu.com or IMDB.com.

    i Love watching CSI over and over again!!

    I know "H" is alive!!

    I want Dr. Woods be back on the scene to complete the group!
  • Mary · 1 year ago
    I dnt know if anybody else agrees with me, but i dnt like the new medical examiner that they have in the new season 7..she is too fake, and tries to hard to be liked..i just wish there was a way where Alexx Woods can come back..i feel like the new medical examiner likes delko, and i actually want to see delko and callie hit it off..they are perfect for each other, and plus they look good together...if any one disagrees or agrees with me, plz post it,,,because WE NEED ALEXX WOOD BACK!!!!!!!!
  • Bruce Simmons · 1 year ago
    Yep... it would be nice to see Alexx Wood back, but she's got a new show goin' on, so that isn't likely. Sorry.
  • Juanita · 11 months ago
    Leonard,

    Beleive or not, Netflix has the current season on their Instant View Que. I watch an episode there when my DVR messed up. You have to have a rental subscription but you can see each episode for the season.

    HORATIO IS A SEXI BEAST!!!!!!!!
  • Keri Krycek · 10 months ago
    I love Tim Speedle. I was sooooooooo sad when he died.
    WHY DO THEY HAVE TO KILL ALL MY HUSBANDS ON EVERY SHOW!!!???!!
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    Caruso/Caine is ugly as homemade sin!
  • miki · 10 months ago
    Vixen/Heidi - You're STILL here? Do these posters know who you are, or care? Haven't they figured it out yet.

    Ugly is in the soul, not the body.

    Khandi Alexander did return as Alexx Woods in "Smoke Gets In Your CSI's" on Feb. 2nd. She was onscreen more as a guest than in most all episodes while she was a regular.
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    Well, Caruso is ugly in BOTH - body and soul. The rest is open to interpretation.
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    Alexx Woods short but sweet return was nice - especially since I am not fond of Baby Alexx. A highlight in an otherwise badly written/acted/edited show.
  • miki · 10 months ago
    But you manage to watch every episode, over and over? Your opinion is not the only opinion. You do not speak for others.

    The fans are beginning to warm up to Meg as the new ME, in spite of you, Heidi.
  • Bruce Simmons · 10 months ago
    FOLKS, keep this to commentary on the subject of the article. We're here to have constructive exchange of opinions, not commenting on viewing habits or what not.

    Vixen: quit goading the fans!!!

    Thanks gang!
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    Well, Baby Alexx is a far cry from Alexx. She just doesn't have it what it takes.
    Besides, just because a few people "warm up to her" doesn't mean everybody else has to follow suit?
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    The same goes for you Miki - Your opinion is not the only opinion. You do not speak for others.
  • Bruce Simmons · 10 months ago
    And this despite my request???? Not cool Vixen.
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    Sorry. I felt I needed to respond. Of course, you are right.
  • karlie dale · 10 months ago
    i dont care what ppl say i still think hortio is sexi!!!!!!!!! i wish alexx would come back>
  • Vixen · 10 months ago
    A lot of people would like to see her bacK. Myself included. LOL
  • karlie dale · 10 months ago
    i hope alexx comes back and horatio is a sexi beast david caruso is a bad acter but i still love him
  • miki · 10 months ago
    Note of interest: Vixen won't be back here. She's David Caruso's stalker who was arrested in Tijuana late Thursday night. We're now waiting to hear when she's deported back to Austria for trial.
    We assume authorities will be wise enough not to allow her internet access.
  • karlie dale · 10 months ago
    hey cant wait till csi miami tonight
  • karlie dale · 10 months ago
    hey ppl i still think horatio is sexi
