Tonight's CSI: Miami episode wasn't really remarkable except for the fact that it starred a certain character who played a strange mutant-type killer in one X-Files episode (as a murder suspect, no less), a brush fire that damn near kills Alex and Delko, and the fact that no one can dissuade a victim of an abusive relationship to give it up, no matter how bad the damage.

Alone, they don't add up to much, but taken as a whole, they help the second season of this CSI spinoff perform a little better this season. I personally think David Caruso's improved by leaps and bounds, and while some may say he's no Grissom, the point of the matter is that he's not supposed to be. I've always liked his acting skills (the seminal Session 9 comes to mind) and his quiet intensity is brought out to good effect the last couple of episodes. I wish I could say the same for the others, but they're serviceable more than actually engaging (with the exception of Calleigh's character, girls with guns...mmmm).

Anyway, it's been a slow kind of week, but with some major work issues I'll need to settle before term starts (yes you guessed it) the Monday after Eid. Looks like this Ox will be comin back a little early to KL. All those with open house invites, do send them here. I'll be happy to oblige.

Till next time, ta!

Inconsequential Actor Trivia:
David Caruso also played a young sherrif's deputy in Stallone's First Blood. He was the most sensible character in the whole posse. Does that surprise us?
