Although the idea for this Fright Night focus to watch all the CSI episodes that featured Dr. Ray Livingston, the first half of season 9 is still all Grissom. And the season starts off with a shock--the death of the beloved Warrick Brown. Although it sets the stage for the gradual withdrawal of Grissom, as he pulls away from the job he appears born to do--the episode, really feels more like everyone is digging in deeper--hunkering down to take to all the bad guys out there. The writing gives absolutely no hint of any cast members leaving, except, obviously, Gary Dourdan. It's not until the next episode, "The Happy Place", when the husband of a comatose rape victim, first investigated by Sara years before, disconnects her life-support, that one first starts to get the idea that people are tiring of the job...and something will have to give. So for the Thursday lead in today, we are watching all of the Season 9 Grissom episodes, picking up with Dr. Ray tomorrow.
