[QUOTE="Dhevan, post: 2593067, member: 12362"] The main problem with both CSI: Miami and CSI: NY is that it feels like they lost the flavour of the original CSI. CSI is supposed to be about the cases, the stranger the better. Grissom was always the scientist, looking for clues and following the evidence. CSI:Miami is about Horatio Cain. It's become a cop drama about taking down the gangsters and drug dealers. I have to laugh when the CSI's come bursting into a crime scene with their guns drawn, taking down the bad guy themselves. None of the original CSI team would be doing this, most of all by themselves. They have guns, but they almost never actually use them. For Horatio, it's his first recourse. If the original CSI's ever have to shoot anybody, it's usually because they've put themselves in a bad situation by following the evidence, not activly hunting down the bad guy themselves. CSI:NY is guilty of being too much a police drama too, but not nearly as much as Miami. I lost interest when they stopped being scientists and started to be cops. And they really have to start working harder on Horatio's dialogue: Gangster: "They're gonna get you, Cain" Cain: "That's what you think!" Wow. That's more like a grade school come back. What's next? Gangter: "You're a dead man, Cain" Cain: "I know you are, but what am I?" Hell, I still watch both the new ones if I happen to come across them, but I not activly searching them out like I am the original CSI. Plus, I just like the characters better, all the new ones seem forced. Dhevan [/QUOTE]
