I should have said there that it was Caruso who has acting like a Prima Donna not Shanks

I am *so* glad to hear that, you know? You really do *want* these guys you love to be professional and likable, and that's the first negative thing I'd heard about Shanks... so I'm glad I didn't hear it after all :) (And I'd always heard Caruso is a twit too)

Yeah, it wasn't really the show's fault, I just get unbelievably bored with procedurals after two seasons- I love the first two seasons of the original CSI, and then I'm all "okay, that was fun, NEXT!"
