Cause of death: Smothered by a talking easy chair!
This should be interesting: Laurence Fishburne to replace William Petersen in 9th season of CSI:. I always said I wouldn’t care to keep watching if Petersen left; but who am I kidding? Habit kept me watching ER long after every single original cast member had left; and CSI: has been pretty damn good the last couple of seasons–much better than the dreckfest ER had long since become by the time I finally gave it up.
In fact, I would argue that the Miniature Killer, the story arc that stretched over the entire 7th season, was the best the show ever had. I even liked the theme that was composed soley for those episodes, music that was never heard in any other episodes of the show. And as much as I hated the idea of GSR (Gil + Sara) in theory, in execution they kept it low-key and mostly out of the viewer’s faces. And then Jorja Fox left the show a season later anyway, ha ha.
Anyway, I have to watch if only to find out how Grissom deals with Warrick’s death–I’m assuming he did die in the finale, because that head shot looked pretty bloody and final. (Plus, Gary Dourdan was arrested with like an entire pharmacy in his car, so.) Warrick was supposed to be Grissom’s favorite and his heir apparent (in spite of being kind of a fuck-up), so I’m expecting lots of ANGST!, albeit subtle Grissom-angst.

You know I hate to see William Petersen leave the show because he’s such a quirky character. However, I think Laurence Fishburn will be an excellent replacement. Apocalypse Now, Boyz n the Hood, What’s Love Got to Do with It?, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Just Cause, The Tuskegee Airment, Othello, Miss Evers’ Boys, The Matrix, Mystic River, Akeelah and the Bee, Mission Impossible III, 21. How can you beat credits like that?
