It happened to me again last night — I got sucked into watching CSI. I caught the teaser when Veronica Mars ended and it looked interesting and the next thing I knew, it was 55 minutes later and I was angry. When will I ever learn? Sir Monkeypants was out playing ultimate so there was no one to talk some sense into me.

It started with the finding of the bodies of two young women, dumped in the same grave, and I thought that was kind of interesting. Then I thought that, knowing this show, it would probably turn out to be PURE COINCIDENCE. And sure enough, it was! Well, close enough. The CSI team totally focused on one of the bodies — no idea why. The other one was never analyzed or mentioned at all. At the end when one of the culprits was (of course) giving a full confession to the CSI team with (of course) no police present, he casually mentioned that this other girl died totally by accident, unrelated to the other murder, and heck, he thought he’d throw her in too. And that’s it!

Plus, the big bad guy was played by Zeljko Ivanek, who is such a typecast Hey Who Is That Guy? that I knew the instant he appeared on the screen that he was a) evil and b) guilty. So there wasn’t even the usual token suspense.

GAH!! When will I ever learn??
