Hi folks! It's time to announce the winner of the second weekly contest and kick off the next one!

First, I will pose the question for the Third Weekly Contest!

The winner of this contest will win a copy of CSI Season 8 on DVD!

The question is...

If you had to pick one episode as your favourite, which one would it be and why?

ALL submissions for this contest have to be in by November 22, 2009 at 11:59:59pm Pacific Time. The rules can be found here. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules before entering the contest!

----

The second weekly contest question was "Throughout the years of CSI, several characters have taken their leave from the team. Of all of them, who were you saddest to see leave and why?"

Like with the first weekly contest, we got a lot of great submissions and I hope you all continue to enter these contests!

The winner of the second weekly contest is ... [info]echelon122!!! Their submission was:

I think for me it was Grissom. He had his odd quirks that while it made him even more socially awkward than the nerdiest kid in school, made him more endearing with each quirk. He was one of the main reasons I started to watch and enjoy the show. He never gave the impression he was smarter or better than anyone he worked with and encouraged everyone to be better at their own jobs.

He had/has a certain aura about him that puts him ahead of his counterparts on the other CSI shows. He could carry an episode and not undermine anyone else in it as well. He would always strive to be a better person and encouraged others to do so as well.

Congratulations! You will be contacted via private message on LJ with further instructions on how to claim your prize!! :)

Thank you all for participating and hope to see some great replies to this new contest!!

My favorite episode is "Pirates of the Third Reich" from season 6. I find it to be very well-written and acted. The story is intriguing and, even after seeing it ten times, it keeps me interested the whole time, every time. The episode actually seems shorter to me than every other episode because I get so into the story. The character development and interaction is great. Lady Heather is one of the best-written characters I can think of on TV, and in this episode we get to see a different side of her and her relationship with Grissom. It has some disturbing moments and images; not disturbing enough to be unenjoyable or to seem like they're only there for shock value, but enough to show you how twisted the situation is; not only the killer in our episode but also the entire Nazi movement and beliefs. It's a nice commentary on historical events as well as being a unique story in the modern world. It makes you feel something, but without making it too sad to bear watching. The ending scene is one of the best in TV history in my opinion, and very well-acted. I also love the fact that there are a few German phrases said in the episode. As a devotee of the German language, I found it so cool when Grissom spoke German -- and did a good job with pronunciation, too! A great episode all around.

I should have broken that up into some paragraphs. I didn't realize how long it was!

My favorite episode is and always has been The Finger.
It was one of the first episodes I ever watched, and I was very taken aback by it.
While watching it, I found myself both anxious but almost bored at the same time. It seemed like just a normal episode to me (missing person, let's find her, etc.), but when the ending neared, I was thrown for a loop.
I'll just say that I'm a sucker for twists, and that episode never fails to surprise me, even though I've seen it so many times.
The storyline was impressive and brilliant. It was also the episode in which I developed a new-found respect for Catherine, and Marg Helgenberger as an actress.
