CLEVELAND - The long running CBS procedural drama, CSI opened its 9th season last night with a conclusion to last Spring's shocking cliffhanger.Warrick Brown is dead.
Gary Dourdan, who played the beloved character since the show's inception in 2000 decided to leave the show earlier this year after he couldn't come to terms for a new contract with the show's producers. To facilitate his departure, a storyline was constructed for Dourdan's Brown to get tangled up in a mysterious tale involving the murder of a notorious crime boss.
Warrick was framed for the murder.
Upon his being cleared of any wrongdoing, he was shot a few times by an unscrupulous undersherrif just as last season ended.
I was beyond shocked.
With Warrick's fate hanging in the balance all summer, loyal fans of the show expressed their displeasure and hope that he would not die. Within the first three minutes of the new season's premiere episode, it was clear that he was done.
A very emotional installment and well done. But I only wonder how long it will take us true fans to get over such an awful turn of events.
