On CSI last night : No More Bets

Catherine's estranged dad, casino owner Sam Braun, is being tagged for the murders of two men who have cheated his roulette table. Some stirring drama, especially from Scott Wilson portraying Sam Braun. You don't know what to feel for him. Also in this episode is Eddie Kaye Thomas, who played Finch in the American Pie movies. In my opinion, the latest episodes of CSI have been formulaic, either being clueless from the start until a damning piece of evidence is found, or targeting a suspect only to have another suspect come up. However, the cases are still quite compelling, especially last night's case which involved the tenuous relationship between Catherine and her father.

One thing to note, though--AXN seems to be upping the greed factor. A commercial was aired during the opening credits of CSI. It even spilled over to the first few seconds of the body of the episode. Brilliant. There is such a thing as overkill, you know.
