These are the chronicles of a book addict, a photo junkie, and an aspiring author, rewriting the very fabric of reality one page (and one snapshot) at a time. From the strange to the unusual; the abandoned to the abnormal; the haunted to the historic; the supernatural to the surreal; the forests of dark fantasy, the cemeteries of gothic horror, and the post-apocalyptic ruins of science fiction are the landscapes of my imagination.

An Open Letter to CBS on a CSI Season 16 . . .

A completely random, non-book related post this morning. The wife and I watched the second half of the CSI season finale last night, in which Nick Stokes left the show for a promotion in San Diego, and it was actually a solid send-off. Not the best episode they've ever done, but it struck a nice balance between season finale storytelling, wrapping up a season-long serial killer arc, and doing justice to an original character.

 
Sadly, Season 15 was a shortened season, and at this point there's no news on a renewal for Season 16 . . . and that got me thinking. I started thinking aloud last night, telling my wife the idea, but it kept growing as I slept, and I think it's really quite good. :)
 
If CBS is a little shy about another season, then I'd take the 24: Live Another Dayroute and do a shorted 'event' type of season that can run for consecutive weeks without interruption. I'm thinking around 8 episodes would be perfect to maintain the momentum and still provide the fans with a pay-off. As for how you make it event, well let me share my thoughts:
