"Thank's lynnah, Myself and friends are still in shock, about this. He just stated in May "I'm not looking to go anywhere, I'm having a great time, and "I LOVE IT" Something came down that their not sharing with us. On "he was eager to get back to making movies" is about as lame as him leaving. He made 2 movies while filming CSI "Armored" and Predators" plus did his one man play "Thurgood" in D.C. and in L.A. so what's the real reason? I have a hunch that he was offered lesser screen time and he didn't like that. I hope we will eventually find out the real reason why he quit!!!"

OMG that is so scandalous he doesnt look the type to exhibit diva-behaviour afterall he should known have it is an ensemble cast everyone has to get screen time and as for the movies,I dont buy it cause he could have done both like most people do.

"Perhaps they should have brought him in as an experience CSI from another lab, rather than a complete novice who turned into superman over night.... "

Yeah, I was thinking they might have been better off bringing him in as some hot shot CSI supervisor from the very beginning...instead of trying to turn him into one in two week's time...
No offense to Mr. Fishburne (who I have absolutely nothing against), but I would be perfectly content if he did not renew his contract...a small amount of Dr. Langston I can tolerate, but not much more than that...especially when his show casing takes time away from the original characters who I would really love to know more about...especially Greg, of course...(sorry, I guess I have just read too much recently about the 200th episode...ggrrrrrr..........)

"NO matter what I say or post someone finds fault with it, when a fan says "it's a BAD' thing to be like Grissom what is that suspposed to mean? He is unique and different, & compelling and capativating and 'SEXY" athough they have similiar traits and that's a good thing. Would you all like him you like him to yell and scream and get ticked off at everyone.. and be a real prick? Lord I loved Grissom and I LIKE this guy too, so sue me. geez.. and some posts seem illogical~~~~~~"

That's cause we don't like Langston and you do, which will result in controversial posts. And tptb keep insisting he's NOT the new Grissom, though that so far doesn't seem to be true...

Where's the tension that always comes with a new member to a group? It brings forth more reality, though with Langston realistic doesn't seem to exist, after all he went from 'bumbling idiot' to 'grand master' in the space of an episode, and he's instantly friends with EVERYONE, which just doesn't happen!

Oh, and saying Langston is the new lead is ridiculous, cause I have one word: NEWBIE! If they had brought him in sensibly, then that'd be fine, but they haven't , they've made him the boss, which cause he's only level two is a bad thing (Besides, they screwed up on the credits. 1. Ray should be after Greg since he's the newest CSI and 2. David should be before Hodges since he's been working at CSI for longer and totally deserves it)

We want someone who's genuinely unique, not a Grissom copycat, and knows their place, which in this case is a Level two and should therefore not be having all this leadership (especially not the lead in a high profile serial case...)

Man, I haven't vented in a while. Continue.

"Fishburne is alright but he is no William Peterson he needs to come back . He was the main reason I watched CSI. I still watch it but is not the same."

Actually I think he's fantastic, and a bit like Grissom in his traits, both calm, cool and collected and yet intense. Of course no one is like Grissom, but LF is magnetic and has his own brand of charm~
