the smartest thing the writers have come up with in the last 2 years

So I was reading this interview with Naren Shankar who is a writer/producer of CSI.

OT: CSI, season 10 premiere kicked ass!

Anyway, great interview with Mr. Shankar. Can someone send this to DS so he knows how it's really done?

Another thing that has changed is the CSI cast. “You always hope they’ll stick around forever,” Shankar said. “It’s great when you’re lucky enough to be on a show where you can have that core group of people that everyone gravitated to initially, that sort of magical chemistry that makes a show a hit. I think that television is about family. You’re inviting these people into your house every week so you kind of like when they are all there. All shows that are lucky enough to have long runs have to deal with it.”

Dealing with cast changes involves remembering what the series is all about, Shankar said. “You just have to manage it in a way that keeps the show true to its roots,” he explained. “I think what happens a lot of times on shows is that people change the things that made them what they are. If we suddenly said ‘Oh my God, you know what? We need to have really super young people’ or ‘It has to be sexy and people sleeping with each other’ that would make our show not what it is. We’re a forensics-driven mystery show and that’s sort of in our DNA so hopefully we won’t have to deal with any cast changes from here on out. You never know but I will say that we’re very aware what the show is fundamentally and that’s not going to change.”

wow

Love what Shankar said. Echoes my thoughts exactly on the screw up of House, and the constant, "Why DS, why?"

Thanks for posting Pandora

and yes, the epic title is so fitting. as is another future epi title (though not sure if I can write it here as it might be considered spoiler)

Thanks for the caps everyone

The first time I read that I just thought "Oh, is Shankar a House fan and venting indirectly about it?"

Love what he says and the writers of CSI have kept true to their word even though they wrote in a relationship and that couple was together and they left and now they're kinda back and married! and still the relationship never redirected the focus of the show, it was never about them

Yeah, it seems that way

True

I haven't watched S10 premiere yet, so I didn't know about them being married.. spoiler

(not to worry, I guess that would have happened

)

pandora13 · 09-28-2009, 04:35 PM

oops, sorry

it's nothing major. that's what I love about it. they didn't show a wedding, they didn't make a big fuss about it. it was more like..."oh yeah, we're married now"

georgina31 · 09-28-2009, 04:38 PM

hehe

I guess it was obvious they would be. I mean, a guy doesn't go all the way to Costa Rica for a quickie

(well, maybe some moron guys would

)

aww, thanks for the caps

Love how Cameron doesn't take any of House's crap, but she just let's him be...House

pandora13 · 09-28-2009, 04:51 PM

she's the only one who neve attempted to change him, to teach him a lesson in humanity

georgina31 · 09-28-2009, 04:53 PM

exactly

could be a nice title

pandora13 · 09-29-2009, 02:53 AM

We've been coming up with lots of titles lately

**crazy_diamond** · 09-29-2009, 04:27 AM

We have, I'll put that in the future titles

Good for Shakar, well said man

I think he is venting pandora

Julien Suncrisbe · 09-29-2009, 08:18 AM

guys.

Just heard the news. A big fat

to whoever decided to write Cameron out of the show. So umbelievably stupid.

pandora13 · 09-29-2009, 08:33 AM

I hear ya, Silvia!

**crazy_diamond** · 09-29-2009, 11:02 AM

Silvia, oh yes
