Character Screen Time Thread

Nicky should have had even more screen time considering Warrick was his buddy.  There are several places he could/should have taken the place of one or two of the others.

I agree, but of course I would agree to seeing Nicky.

I'm happy with that distribution. If Greg and Finn swapped places, that would be perfect in my opinion. Warrick may have been Nick's best friend but I think overall it worked best as a 'team case' with one or two with that extra bit (Sara and Nick) and of course DB as supervisor.

We sure reverted in this one - the 'team' practically left out of the episode and DB and Finn the only ones in it.

26 minutes of Finn?? Seriously?? Oh, wow. CgrGrl, thank you so much for putting these together for us every week.

Ted Danson and Elisabeth Shue are the stars of the show.

26 minutes of Finn?? Seriously?? Oh, wow. CgrGrl, thank you so much for putting these together for us every week.

I've said this before--Shue had potential when she came to CSI. I had never watched her in many things so to me, she was pretty much an unknown. However, Finn is either written, directed, or acted horribly!

Now, the Finn-centric episode is done and over, so let's see if Brass, Sara, and the others get this much screen time without Finn coming in to do her blood splatter expert work!

w-f - I guess the point for many of is that although WP and MH were the 'stars' of the show they never hogged all the time in front of the camera (that is, the writers never wrote stories that didn't make it an ensemble group they way Billy wanted it so they all more or less had equal time on the sreen.)  The ensemble type of episodes certainly made them more interesting.

Screen Time for Strip Maul -

Super, Henry - 1
Doc - 2
Hodges, Ecklie - 4
Morgan, Finn - 5
DB - 7
Greg - 9
Sara - 11
Nicky, Brass - 13

Great to see Greg, Nick, Sara and Brass up at the top for a change.  No complaints except to nit pick - Doc and Super ought to have a bit more time.  Remembering when - the morgue and autopsy used to be pretty important parts of solving the crime.  It's still imporant to know how a victim died.

Much praise, CgrGrl - you're doing a great job with this.

[CgrGrl]

Thanks!     This one kept me on my toes because the scenes were faster than normal.

I was wondering how you were going to capture all of this and time categorize it all! Thank you for doing this. I love seeing it every week and look forward to the numbers. Sometimes the results are completley opposite what I think and a surprise and other times it goes pretty much like I expected

It is good to see our longtime characters in the lead for time in this one Wish it were a sign of things to come, but alas, I am sure it isn't. I don't mind DB taking up more time, I just wish they'd leave Finn either completely OFF the roster or give her less than a minute of play time!

But I guess we can't get everything we want!

[CgrGrl]

I think it's the result of my true anal self coming out.  Perhaps not my best trait, but perfect for this endeaver.
