== Alex Woods return in Season 8 == |
||
{{Resolved|1=It's already aired, and the material was correct; she's appeared in several S08 episodes.}} |
|||
It has not been announced that Khandi Alexander is returning as Alex Woods in Season 8, and unless that can be proved by providing a link, please don't add the name in. Thanks! |

Is there a perceived difference between the different CSI shows, stylistically, treatment of themes, or in any other way? [[User:Hakluyt bean|Hakluyt bean]] 13:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC) |

:It might be something worth researching. Personally, i think the Miami version quickly went from a prettier version of CSI (Vegas) to something more in keeping with the Michael Mann Miami Vicedays. I cannot say its an improvement. I always thought the series wwas to focus around the evidence, and the characters' lives were secondary. This holds true int he other two series but not here. I think it suffers for the reliance on weak characterization and back story.[[User:Arcayne|Arcayne]] 08:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::In my opinion, each of the CSIs has a different focus (and catchphrase!). [[Gil Grissom]] is constantly saying "follow the evidence," so I think of [[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]] as focusing mostly on the science and techniques used to catch criminals. [[Horatio Caine]] of [[CSI: Miami]] always says, "We never close." There's a great deal of emphasis on action, explosions, and excitement. And for [[CSI: NY]], good old [[Mac Taylor]] professes "Everything is connected." I think it is the closest of the CSIs to a pure detective drama, just finding out who the bad guy is. Just as an example of how the shows are different from each other: throughout the entire first season of CSI: NY, Mac wears a suit and tie and we don't see a problem. But when Keppler ([[Liev Schreiber]]) shows up on the original in similar attire, he gets funny looks from everyone. [[User:DreamroseTavua|DreamroseTavua]] 21:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:::If anything, ''CSI:M''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s catchphrase is simply "I'm going to get you", which Horatio says, in one way or another, in almost every episode. The principal difference between ''CSI:LV'' and ''CSI:M'' is teamwork vs. leadership, respectively, and this is reflected in the considerably more fractious and divisive nature of the team on ''CSI:M''. ''CSI:NY'' seems to be between the two, but I haven't thought about it as much. I could say that ''CSI:NY'' seems to be about personalities (plural) and their interplay, ''CSI:M'' about the dominant singular personality of Caine and its interaction with various subordinate personalities, and ''CSI:LV'' about the emergent supra-personality of a cooperative group, all of whose individual personalities form parts of a more cohesive whole (which, not surprisingly, makes it still the most popular of the related series, at least last that I checked). |
|||
:::Just my take though. I think it would enhance all three main articles to have some ''sourced'' material on the topic of the differences between the three shows. I'm sure professional media analysts/critics have far more insightful things to say than I do. — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> [[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]] <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 09:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |

== Duquesne's rank == |
|||
{{Unresolved|1=Duquesne's rank not sourceably determined yet.}} |
|||
Can anyone confirm [[Calleigh Duquesne]]'s rank? Other contributers say that she is a lieutenant now (i.e., [[Horatio Caine|Horatio's]] rank). Is this true? If so, in what episode did her promotion take place? [[User:DreamroseTavua|DreamroseTavua]] 20:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC) |

== Episode references == |
|||
The references to the episodes need to be consistent. Currently, they are formatted in a few different ways. We should probably standardize them. Each episode reference should have the episode in quotes. I don't have time to do it now, just throwing it out there. One of us will get to it! --[[User:EmmSeeMusic|EmmSeeMusic]] 22:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC) |

:Are they consistent now? If so, please mark this with {{tl|Resolved}} and archive it. — <b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span></b> [[[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|cont]]] <b>‹(-¿-)›</b> 09:59, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
== Popularity == |
|||
{{Unresolved|The statement remains in the article, but is disputed.}} |
|||
According to the Guiness World Records 2008, CSI: Miami is the world's most popular tv show based on TV ratings of 20 countries, followed by Lost and Desperate Housewives. Is this article worthy?<br /> |
|||
I will post a scan of the page if requested but its probably copyrighted so I don't know whether I should or not. If you have the Guiness World Records 2008 its on page 184.<br />[[User:Spirallingspirit|Spirallingspirit]] ([[User talk:Spirallingspirit|talk]]) 21:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Its totally based on a simple for-fun list of shows who are in 20 random countries' top ten lists. In all likelihood, CIA Miami is not the number 1 show in any of those countries. It can hardly hit the top 10 on its home US network. The 'survey' is not scientific at all, and should not be used to claim superiority for this show. --[[User:IronMaidenRocks|IronMaidenRocks]] ([[User talk:IronMaidenRocks|talk]]) 11:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC) |

== "Staged by Caine" == |
|||
{{Unresolved|1=Source provided in talk but not in article.}} |
|||
"however it is believed this is staged by Caine so he may more easily go after Ron Saris" – Is there anything resembling a source for this, or is it just random speculation? [[User:Zazaban|Zazaban]] ([[User talk:Zazaban|talk]]) 05:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
: it is confirmed in [http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi_miami/video/video.php?cid=544177918 CBS's behind the scenes video] where David Caruso says "Horatio designed a staging of an event that will free him up to go after this man with a different license." |

== The Strip == |
|||
{{Unresolved|1=Probable [[WP:NOR|original research]] removed, but possibly restorable with external sources.}} |
|||
I have removed the following from the article: |
|||
:"Australian television drama [[The Strip]] takes much inspiration from CSI: Miami and is photographed with similar images of sparkling surf, aerial shots of buildings and golden sands. The drama series is shot in the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], which is like Miami in Australia." |
|||
== External links modified == |
|||
A visual similarity and a personal opinion that the Gold Coast is "like Miami" does not justify a whole section in this article devoid of supporting references as to the inspiration for the Australian show. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 14:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC) |
|||
Hello fellow Wikipedians, |
|||
:Concur; blatant [[WP:NOR|original research]].

These shows are heavily pop-music-intensive, featuring works that are all over the map from material newly created for the show, to underground notables, to electronica club hits, to rock/pop/soul/R&B classics, but nothing of note is said at any of the three main CSI-franchise articles about the music (other than The Who's intro/outro snippets). This seems to be a glaring omission. The music is such an integral part of all three shows, especially in scenes showing the commissions of crimes, the "science stuff" in the lab (usually overlaid with some form of techno), and the close-in on the killer. |
|||
{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}} |
|||
[Aside: For my own part, I want to know about the droning, intensely-building background theme used in two ''CSI:M'' season 6 episodes, including the end of the S06E21 season finale (Caine's shooting, while waiting for Kyle and his mom at the airport), that appears to be either a remix, remake or ripoff of the main theme from ''[[28 Days Later]]'' and its sequel. I have ''that'' version, but I'd love to grab the CSI version as well, as it is less "guitar-fuzzy" and to me more plaintive and emotional.] |
