The most important thing: Tonight's the night (for the Season premiere on the US Showtime cable network).

MM has not been particularly bashful about showing off her body - still in magnificent shape 20 years after getting her Oscar - and I wonder if we'll see her undressed in the series.

Very odd little film of MM -- she's holding a microphone in her left hand, which (1) seems curiously pointless and (2) encumbers her Signing. Something I always suspected of some of her public appearances: Her interpreter (in the jargon: "terp"), although undoubtedly a five-star expert, speaks things that I don't think she signed -- not that he was presumptuous but I always suspected, because at all her public speeches her (various) terps have never been at a loss, nor misunderstood, etc., that her speeches are all prepared in advance and both she and the terp rehearse them so the interpretation is extremely fast and flawless (in the real world, a deaf person would usually pause every few sentences to enable the terp to catch up).

One person in the audience evidently confused the I Love You sign with the University of Texas Hool'em Horns (her thumb was tucked in).

I like her character a lot, but not with Bette. There's something very awkward about them together. Loved the signing fight scene with the other deaf girl, Amy, it was really well done.

MM is a good actress, but I think she was not the right one for the role. The role needed an actress with more chemistry with JB so we can actually believe she is in love with her. As many other have said they look like the friends they are in their scenes. I think that the main reason IC chose her is because she's an academy award winner and she knows JB for some time. Maybe she's still shy about kissing another woman? cuz we don't get to see those good french kisses that we see between JB & LuH
Many say that MM&JB chemistry isn't enough cuz we are comparing it towards JB&Luh wich is terrific, but even comparing them to the rest of the couples in the show they look flat.

Perhaps the Jodie-Bette relationship seems a bit flat because (except for some peripheral characters like Kit and Phyllis) Bette is at least a few years older than the other lesbian characters and supposedly more mature. That may come off as sedate because she's less impetuous and impulsive than the others.

Synopsis:

A deaf woman is horrified to discover the body of her nineteen-year-old daughter, Allison, shot to death in her bedroom. Mac calls in an interpreter to Gina Mitchum, who clings to her remaining child, a baby named Elizabeth. She tells Mac that the vibrations from the shotgun blast woke her, and tells the CSI that her daughter had been seeing a boy named Seth Wolf, but that they'd been fighting recently. Seth becomes even more interesting to the CSIs when DNA tests reveal that Elizabeth was Allison's daughter, not Gina's, and that blood from Elizabeth's father was found at the Mitchums' house, indicating he is the shooter. Seth Wolf is listed on the birth certificate as Elizabeth's father, but he denies the possibility--and insists he didn't kill Allison. Another boy sparks Mac's interest--Cole Rowan, a fellow student alongside Allison at the Manhattan School for the Deaf, until a hearing aid implant allowed him to hear normally.

Stella and Danny investigate the murder of McKenzie Wade, a champion figure skater. Her friend Krista discovered her body, and she tearfully tells the CSIs that she switched practice times with McKenzie. The CSIs wonder if Krista was the real target and Danny interrogates the Zamboni driver, Frank, who had an unhealthy fixation on Krista, but he maintains his innocence. A letter containing mathematical equations and a chip of an experimental type of paint lead the CSIs to Tom Howard, whose office at New Jersey Advance Tech overlooks the rink. Tom watched McKenzie skate everyday and saw her working on her technique, but when he approached her at the rink to try to offer her advice, she brushed him off, thinking he was a stalker. He tried to carve his suggestions into the ice with her skate lacer, but when she grabbed it from him, they fought for it and she fell on it. Tom fled, leaving the young skater dead in his wake. Both cases bring up troubling memories for Lindsay, who tells Stella that as a teen she survived a crime in which all of her friends were killed.

Gina is out with baby Elizabeth and her husband Dennis when an unhinged Cole Rowan pushes Dennis aside and leaps in Gina's SUV with her and Elizabeth, forcing Gina to drive at gunpoint. She gets off a call to the police, and they manage to stop and surround the car while Cole tearfully explains the shooting of Allison was an accident--he came to take the baby so that he could make sure she wasn't raised deaf like he and Allison were. Flack is able to extract the baby from the car while Mac tackles Cole. After making sure Gina and her family are safe, Mac seeks Peyton out and tells her he wants to make their relationship work.

Analysis:

"Silent Night" has the feel of a sweeps episode. Two big guest stars--Academy Award winner Marlee Matalin and figure skating champ Sasha Cohen--and the revelation of the often hinted at secret from Lindsay's past. However, comparing the episode to the actual sweeps offerings--including the excellent offerings "And Here's To You, Mrs. Azrael" and "Raising Shane"--it simply isn't as strong, Matalin's powerful performance aside.

wow I gotta check out that episode if there was MM Razz

we don't have the same channels as you do in US and UK, so I guess that episode airs here in different time. Luckily CSI:New York airs here, so I think I get to see it in the future Smile

I love Marlee Matlin. And I love Jodi. And I love JoBette.

What I don't like is when people say they have no chemistry because I really think they do.
