Topic: Show Information

With the 2005 Emmy Awards nominations just around the corner (July 14), primetime TV execs have begun their "For Your Consideration" crusades. CSI's head honchos have hit all the drama-acting categories, as well as a push for Best Drama Series. The episodes for consideration? 100th episode "Ch-Ch-Changes" and Tarantino's masterpiece that is the season 5 finale, "Grave Danger," which will be considered for a directing nom. All of the main credited actors are being pushed for their respective categories (Petersen and Helgenberger for lead actor and actress; Fox for supporting actress; and the remaining five men for supporting actor).

Official nominations will be announced Thursday, July 14 and the Awards will be handed out Sunday, September 18.

Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Show Information
CSI Files recently published a news item, about a new character joining CSI. The new character is The Yukon XL Denali , a new forensic crime lab on wheels. The Yukon XL Denali was chosen as the new crime lab on wheels for the Vegas team. Larry Mitchell, retired crime scene investigator turned technical advisor, showed off the SUV that will also serve as a Mobile Analysis Unit for Grissom and his team. "This is a state of the art crime lab, one every CSI person would give their heart for," Mitchell told CBS "We have everything that you would use at a crime scene, to handle any kind of crime scene you can come in contact with."

Tarantino won't leave us hanging!
Topic: Show Information
Quentin Tarantino reveals that they didn't make it a two-hour episode for nothing! According to CSI Files, the director told CTV, "In an hour we kinda talked out the entire episode. After we did that it was like, 'well, of course I’m gonna do it now! I like the story too much, I like, can't let it go now!'"

So I guess this means he doesn't have to come back a few months later and direct the season 6 premiere...

The finale airs Thursday, May 19 at a special time: 8/7C
