Silent Night

0n the 10th anniversary of the premiere of this episode, I popped in the DVD to see it again. This is it, this is the end of the line for Anthony Zuiker giving a damn about CSI:NEW YORK. This is the last time Zuiker wrote for this show. Although he would maintain the title of Showrunner until Season 5 ended in 2009, he no longer cared enough for this show to put in the work. Until he officially stepped down, Zuiker ate the steaks his WORKING writers slaughtered. I should be watching the last episode of 2016 tomorrow but I'm not because this scumbag checked out and never once stepped up to protect the show in 2010 when CBS went about sabotaging it. CSI:NEW YORK paid the price for Zuiker's indifference. This show was headed for an early grave mostly in part because Zuiker no longer had any loyalty to the show. A large part of the blame for why the DVD sets are sickeningly lacking in content on his shoulders. This is the season where Joey Lawrence as Clay Dobson was the season's main villain and there are no interviews/no commentary. This episode is evidence of how viewers of the CSI Franchise will always remain the least served audience of any TV series.
