Haven't been watching this for a few series now but watched last night as nothing else was on. What a load of tosh!! Horatio is still as annoying as ever - that's why I stopped watching. The doctor woman who spoke to the dead bodies appears to have left - i didn't care for her either. I won't bother watching again but will patiently wait for the return of CSI Vegas and especially CSI New York (Can't get enough of Mac and Flack!!!!)
Like you I was never a big fan of CSI Miami, I too couldn't stand Horatio, but apparently they killed him off at the end of the last series so the new season might be better
