The last tv show I watched(not counting the local news/weather, since I'm supposed to be going to a car show today and needed to see the forecast) was the season finale of "CSI". It was really sad and disturbing, because they killed off one of my favorite characters, Warrick Brown, the broody, handsome investigator who has always reminded me of Wilt, or rather, the reverse is true. I knew that the actor who played him, Gary Dourdan, was leaving the show, a situation made all the worse by him getting involved with illegal drugs-so sad to see a talented person ruin his/her life that way, so I knew that the character would be leaving the show, also. I just didn't know HOW. Other major characters, when leaving the show, just LEFT-as in decided that the job was more than they could handle, turned in their notices, packed up their stuff and caught the next plane out of Vegas, so I guess I kinda hoped that maybe Warrick would do the same thing, and maybe once the actor who played him got his own personal act together, he could at least make a cameo now and then, but by the time the conflict in the episode had been resolved, and everyone met at a local diner and everyone was all happy and warm and huggy, I knew they were gonna off him. As the character got in his car, parked in the prerequisite dark alley, I thought at first that the car was rigged to blow up when he started it, or messed with the radio, since the camera focused a lot on him tuning the stations, but as it turned out, the local undersheriff was one of two Mafia "moles" in the police dept., who'd tried to have Warrick framed for the shooting of a mob boss that Warrick was known to have had a conflict with, and this guy just casually strolls up the window, congratulates Warrick on getting the charges dropped(after his CSI teammates solve the real crime and get him off the hook) and doing a fine job, then pulls out a handgun and shoots him point-blank in the neck. As he struggles to breathe, the guy pumps more bullets into him, then casually wipes down the gun and tosses it onto the seat of the car, and walks off. It was just so cold and brutal, to wipe out the character like that. They didn't do that with the last major character to leave, and she was far from my favorite. Honestly, with few of the original major characters left, the show is on the verge of jumping the shark, so I wouldn't be surprised to see next season be the last.
