That wasn't odd, it was simply observant on the part of some writers who've actually attended these conventions. Both the "overweight pale basement dwellers dressed in latex foreheads and crazy outfits" and "normal fans" abound at these things, and for the writers to represent a convention as being composed of only the "normal" kind would be as unrealistic as treating the whole of fandom as "galaxy class fans" clad in unforgiving Spandex. It would certainly leave out the possibility of shooting at an actual convention - as some of this episode supposedly was - without a lot of wranglers to keep the peculiarly-dressed and oddly-behaving fans out of camera range.

That was hysterical. Having Moore be the fan who stands up and yells "You suck!" was fucking brilliant.
I knew he looked familiar.
I was wondering, as I watched the episode, if the victim was based on Moore.
I thought they struck a pretty good balance between the costumed fans and professionals who just happened to like the show.
Hodges and the micro-scanner reminded me of the vendor at a comic show/con who assured me that his X-Men #2 was FOR REAL AUTHENTIC and such a steal for only $750 when #1 was selling for $THOUSANDS. I gave him the evil eye and went on - heard him giving the same shpiel to the next innocent victim . . .
the bartender touch was pretty great. hope he converst Stokes

Yeah. All it took was a change in shift, and he can still have his mistress of justice and the hottie in the lab at the same time. Of course, if they did that then it would take the steam outta the tension. Once they get together, that's it. Like Lois and Clark. Like Moonlighting before it. It's not as interesting to watch.
This is probably the second full episode of CSI I've ever watched. I'm a sucker for that romantic thing in tv dramas, and if I thought that was going anywhere I might check it out again - but I understand the format of the franchise, and these folks are minor supporting cast, right? No joy there...
That was freakin' hilarious!
If you have Netflix, it's streaming online now. It is, or will be soon, on the CBS website.
Did anyone else catch that the Yeoman who got executed in the Redux was Terry Farrell?
I took screen caps before I was sure, because it was so brief you got to see her face, and all she said was "Commander" once, but it was Dax!
