My weekly (ha) cop drama post

Ok, if you haven't watched CSI: yet, DO NOT CLICK THE READ MORE LINK!

Quick mention of the others:

- Criminal Minds was ok. Next week's finale looks interesting.

- CSI:NY brought an end to the 'Cabbie Killer' storyline. Some suspense, a couple of twists.

- SVU made sure just about everyone of the characters were knocked down a notch. Or in one case, knocked off completely.

Now for the shocking episode of CSI:. I don't know where to begin. All the previews showed them revisiting Warrick's trouble with the mob guy. There was a known (to viewers) mole in the department. Warrick was haunted by this.

A dead man they investigate turns out to be connected. Then to really make things interesting, Warrick is found holding the gun that killed the mob guy. Only he doesn't know what happened.

Turns out, he was framed. Hey, I said don't read on if you haven't seen it yet. They finger the mole cop, but haven't caught him yet. Warrick's free and a few questions are answered and things seem to be resolved. Until the under-sheriff walks up to Warrick and shoots him in the head, twice.

Yeah, they killed off Warrick. Why? Well, could be for two reasons. One it leaves a huge storyline to build on for next season. Two, turns out Gary Dourdin (you know, the actor that plays Warrick) was going to leave the show anyway because of contract negotiations. Oh, add on that he was busted on drug charges not long after this, and it was pretty much a given.

I'm glad I hadn't heard about that until now. I just got curious and searched the web for CSI: chatter and found those stories. All I can say is wow.

Well, that just about does it for these shows until the fall. A couple more finales coming, then it's a long, long wait until new episodes.

Not to mention the long, long wait until new Heroes. But that's for another blog entry.
