Wow! So, last night's episode of CSI on CBS was number 1 in William Peterson's final 10 episodes as CSI Gil Grissom and he knocked it out of the park. The first few minutes had him devastated over the death of Warrick Brown and Peterson's acting tore my heart out last night. I am not the biggest fan of Gary Dourdan who played Warrick Brown, but, the grief that Peterson displayed towards Brown's death was nothing short of breath taking and heart wrenching and I felt that grief as well.I have always adored Peterson as Gil Grissom. I love his quirkiness and wittiness. I love the way he is both soft at heart but gets the job done and leads his team with both fatherly and detached authority. I am not sure what the future of CSI will be once the heart of the show is gone. I can't promise to be loyal to the show once Gil Grissom is gone. I have read that he will be back on the show again in the future but, not in a permanent role...at least for now. But, that isn't enough. If the way he said good-bye to Brown (Dourdan) is a glimpse into what his exit will look like, I think I need to buy stock in Kleenex because I barely held it together during last night's episode.
I am not looking forward to 9 more episodes from now when I have to watch one of my favorite characters on TV ride off into the sunset. I feel almost like it is a slap in the face to be losing him.
Will I survive it? Will CSI survive it? Who knows? Certainly not me.
