There are a lot of things that happened off camera between seasons. I don’t have that bad thoughts yet on Gil leaving, but I hope that they handle it will. I haven’t seen the between season spoilers and am just waiting for the episode to air to see what happens and I can talk about that in the next episode’s post or even in this one. I do remember just how terribly the departure of Ray was handled on the original CSI. I also think that it is unknown if David or Jim will be seen again. Jim was only there in the beginning as a catalyst. David’s story is probably over. Sara is also gone again and the character of Hugo has left as well after barely having anything happen with his character last season.
I
have no idea if you went to either my blog on CSI: Cyber during the offseason
like I told you do or if you are following former cast members of this show
that I put in my blog on Elementary. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t. Do know
that this blog will be on Thursdays most of the time? You do now.
I
am bringing this up because of various things addressed in that blog that I can
now follow up on in this blog in ways that I wouldn’t have been able to
otherwise. I am going to share YouTube links relating to shows I watched from
my CSI: Cyber blog that are dead to me now, mainly Ordinary Joe and Mr. Mayor.
I also shared the video that CinemaSins did on F9. I’m going to start by
sharing a sort of continuation to that CinemaSins video, one of the bloopers as
they are called.

Now
if you know about Ordinary Joe, you would know that it was set in three
different timelines based on a decision in the protagonist’s life. I wondered
what would be a good theme for what could replace it. There were three
different tints to each of the realities. One was red, another green, and the
third blue. This made me think of the jewels that you get in The Legend of
Zelda: Ocarina of Time. All that you have to do to get the three jewels are
beat the first three bosses of the game.
The
first boss is Gohma, which was also used later as the first boss of The Wind
Waker in addition to appearing elsewhere throughout the series. You face this
boss inside the Deku tree.

The
second boss is King Dodongo which you face in the appropriately named Dodongo
Cavern where you face against many dodongos throughout your time in the
dungeon. It is weird that bombs would be used against a fire based boss.

The
third boss that you face in the game (and the last one as kid Link) is Barinade.
This boss has some electrical elements to it as a lot of the enemies in Jabu
Jabu’s belly do. It is part of the theme of some of the Zelda series as
originally in the dungeon that you are in, you face an enemy that you can only
kill by also hurting yourself. But then you get an item in the dungeon that
makes killing these enemies much easier and possible without also harming
yourself.

Switching
to the show Mr. Mayor, it was kind of lucky that I was only able to see four
episodes of this in the end. Since it was a political show, the thing that
makes the most sense to replace it is the most well known part of Schoolhouse
Rock, the song I’m Just a Bill.

I
had mentioned at one point in my CSI: Cyber blog that I would go back to the
first mention of Ordinary Joe back in the cast update from August of 2021 and
then try to phase out or cancel certain parts of the blog going forward from
there. That hasn’t happened yet. I now have to go back even further to when Mr.
Mayor was first mentioned as well since that was in the blog sooner. I plan to
go back to look at old posts like I do in other blogs of mine so I might just
wait until it works out there. Now let’s get to today’s episode.
The
first part has a weird monologue going on at first by Maxine. Work seems to
stop a sex scene before it can start. We get to Catherine returning. This is
who Maxine is talking to. Catherine is coming back out of retirement. She was
kicked off the board of the casino that she worked at. Maxine knows that
Catherine is keeping something from her, but we don’t know what yet. Catherine admits
that it is true.
We
arrive at the crime scene with music playing in the background that people get
to investigate. We see what the killer did to this place. I can’t quite tell. Wasn’t
there supposed to be a room of white or something like that?
The
second part has people still at the crime scene, investigating what was going
on there. Other detectives (who detect!) talk to a Hispanic woman. She must be
one of the witnesses. Catherine talks to Bo, a new character, who is talking
about all of the mirrors in the room. He can get rid of them without getting
rid of the evidence. There is a lot of blood in there. Also, the pandemic
happened in this show, but, like every show, it is set post pandemic which
still hasn’t happened yet.
It
appears that the room that they were at was a sex dungeon. I wonder what that
would be like in a video game. I wouldn’t ever play a game like that, mind you.
And it is revealed that Gil and Sara are on a boat around the Arctic Circle.
Maybe they want to help Benjamin Gates find a National Treasure?
Catherine
asks about molecular map making. MMM. That sounds like a sex noise. Well,
maybe. I wouldn’t know for sure. It seems as if this woman was murdered twice.
You know, someone in the movie Gosford Park was killed twice. I don’t recommend
that movie. I mean, if you are over halfway through a murder mystery and still
haven’t gotten to the murder, then what is the point and why are you watching
it?
The
third part has Allie returning from LA. She isn’t going back as she will finish
up her class online. But what went wrong exactly? Looking closer at the crime
scene has people realizing that the victim might have fallen onto an already
existing blood stain. One can get careers in BDSM? The victim was hurt in many
ways. She was abused and then given electro shock therapy. This woman that
Maxine talks to thinks that this killer is going to kill again.
More
suspects are talked to. One is an older white guy. The second is a black guy. The
third is a middle aged white guy. The fourth is a black haired white guy. We need
names of these people since one of them is likely the killer. Josh has been
with a woman named Serena for four months now. How did Allie know about this? I
can’t catch all of the rest of this part.
The
fourth part has the team looking at the backyard of a dominatrix’s house. They don’t
know what is and isn’t normal to find there. Catherine gets distracted by a
woman named Grace. The team investigates the case back at the lab. It turns out
that suspect number 4 from earlier was scratching his arm and that could mean
that he is guilty of something of some sort or another. Dum dum DUM! They figure
out somehow where this guy is, but he gets away, leaving behind blood on a
tissue.
The
fifth part has the people talking to a black guy while trying to understand why
he also has marks on his head like the victim. There were mirrors in this place
as he tries to understand what “therapy” he might have been through. There was
something rotten that was dropped. The possible and likely killer wound up in a
hospital. He gets wise and takes a hostage. His name is Alan? He goes on a
crazy rant as psychos are known for doing. He does surrender. Momma’s alright. Daddy’s
alright. He is taken into custody. Meanwhile, Josh goes back to his either
girlfriend or fuck buddy. Grace is talked about some as this woman is missing
and nobody is looking for her. It seems that Catherine thinks that they are
covering something up there.
On
the next CSI: Vegas, there is a painted man, someone loves what they did, and
why would someone do this? Can someone ever truly understand a psychopath? I
guess that we will see what happens, if we’ll go back more into this
cliffhanger from the last season (they better), and how Grace ties into this. There’s
a lot to look forward to. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
