A fantastic series finale which makes up for a hit-and-miss season

"Superb"

'For Gedda' was a fantastic episode and a superb series finale which wrapped up Warrick's character and the mob storyline in great style. It was nice to see Warrick finally face up to the many close calls he has had over the shows history and wake up to his obsessive, impulsive behaviour. But then I wouldn't have expected it to have been handled any other way; although you may feel as an audience you were 'fed' Warrick's remorse to make his death sadder I didn't really mind. The overall storyline in the episode was interesting, but at no point did I ever feel Warrick was guilty of the murder. Luckily this didn't create a disappointing distraction to the plot as the story became more about finding out who set Warrick up rather than just proving his innocence.

I watched this episode only recently so I knew Warrick was going to be killed off in the episode (I just didn't know how they'd do it) but the end still shocked me. The killer is unexpected and the way the scene played out was really sad and shocking. It's also nice to know the storyline has been left unconcluded and I almost hope the killing remains unsolved for some of season 9 at least just to make it a little more interesting. The scenes in the bar where all the CSI's sat eating breakfast was really poignant and showed how much of a family they are in a way I wish there had been a nicer moment between Catherine and Warrick as I always felt they were a 'would be/could be' couple. But that was perhaps handled earlier in the episode as Catherine talks to Warrick in the interview room.

To sum up, 'For Gedda' was a great season finale in a very up and down season. For a character I didn't always like, Warrick's demise was both heartbreaking and shocking. Gary Dourdan did a great job with the character for eight seasons and ensured, in the end, that the character of Warrick would be sorely missed.moreless

Warrick is framed for murder and it's up to the team to figure out who is the real killer. Warrick doesn't remember anything from the murder and everything is stacked up against him. Of course, Grissom figures it out and clears Warrick's name. The end of the episode was a shocker! Warrick was shot by a cop - I didn't expect him at all. It'll be interesting to see how they're going to figure out who the killer of Warrick is and how they're going to bring him in. Anyways, the case in this episode was not that interesting to me - only the characters were. I liked the twist at the end. Overall, solid episode and season finale.moreless

At a funeral for a coach, the pallbearers are carrying his casket to the empty grave when the bottom of the casket gives way and two bodies fall out. The casket was a large casket that Grissom called the Elvis model remarking on how our society is an overweight one. The casket had a custom extra compartment hidden away concealing another dead body below the coach's corpse. The casket was donated from the community but someone placed another body in there most likely to hide it. Brass questioned the mortician and he didn't say anything. He just wrote on a note pad that he wanted a lawyer. Brass wrote back your under arrest.moreless

I can't stand it! It seems like another beloved character disappears with every episode. Sam Braun? Gone. Sophia? Gone. Sara? Gone. Now Warrick? Who's next? That's truly going to be the underlying story line of the show. I'm taking all bets. My money's on Brass. Or maybe Doc Robbins. They certainly can't get rid of three CSI's in a row, can they? Although they do seem to be losing people in order of increasing importance to the show. The only logical next victim of the CSI axe can be Grissom. It's just getting ridiculous. If they lose another regular cast member, I'm not watching anymore.moreless
