heidiiiii Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Did anyone else watch CSI last night? Part 1 of the new season. Toward the end there was a murder scene and on the table was an exact replica of the room in mini! I almost choked on my popcorn! Right down to the day`s newspaper on the counter next to the body. They show part 2 next thursday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I missed it?!? Why wasn't I watching CSI last nite? Guess we watched something else -- have to catch part 2, maybe they'll show it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Dont worry Charlene, Part 2 is all about the murder and the dollhouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 OO.OO.OO. Thanks Heidi. I'll set the TV timer now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prariegurl Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I saw it, too. The roombox reminded me of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, one of my favorite books because it combines tow of my obsessions--murder and minis!!!

Anna Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Major new CSI episodes envy here!!!!! Well, I know I will have something to look forward to then, >sigh< Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It was a beautiful recreation of the murder scene. I had to laugh when he lifted the roof of of the miniature and noted the miniature pot rack hanging from the roof and looked up and compared it to the real one hanging from the ceiling. His expression was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 How do you think this depiction of our hobby will affect non miniaturists? Do you think it will make them want a dollhouse or have any interest in minis or do you think it will cast a dark light on minis (Because of the murder scene)? Just wondering what your opinions are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimieMarvon Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 HYSTERICAL! And I missed it too! Darn. I will be sure to watch next week. I think I was watching the new show that was on after Grey's Anatomy. It wasn't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 that scene while it was portraying something gruesome was also very detailed and showing how much realism that can be gotten in the miniature form can only widen the interest in ou\r hobby! that was a way kewl scene! nutti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 How do you think this depiction of our hobby will affect non miniaturists? Do you think it will make them want a dollhouse or have any interest in minis or do you think it will cast a dark light on minis (Because of the murder scene)? Just wondering what your opinions are here I don't think it will matter much one way or the other. Folks who are interested in minis will admire the detail ... folks who aren't will think it's an interesting twist but not much more than that. What I'm wondering about is the character who made the roombox ... and why. It might be more a question of casting a dark light on miniaturists rather than the minis!

molmrath Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I loved the little roombox and all the detail, complete with the corpse's tattoo and real blood. I thought it was just cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I saw it, too.

Jeri My first thought to It's a really good book. Has also a lot of details. http://www.amazon.com/Nutshell-Studies-Une...h/dp/1580931456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Oooo! what if they find he has like a whole miniature house full of murders? Kinda like CLUE! I think the same thing..All miniaturist will be going Ohh! Ahh! and others wont bat an eyelash. Like did anybody note to themselves about the miniatures in those Pork commercials? The one where the pork chop is in love with the peach? The House of miniatures chair, mini fireplace, etc etc? LOL I am obsessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Did anyone else catch it? I don't know if the schedule is the same in the States, but in Canada they showed Part One of a story where a mini "roombox" mirrors the scene of a murder. (Corpse slumped in chair, face down on the table, breakfast in a frying pan next to the victim.) I love CSI, and I was tickled pink to see miniatures included in the show. (Can't wait for Part Two!)

Minis On The Edge Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi There Jackie! I am gonna merge this topic with the one already started about this. Yes, the scene is too real and I would love to know what miniaturist created it for sure!! There is So much detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Sorry about starting a duplicate topic - I guess I didn't check thoroughly enough beforehand. As to the question of whether it casts a dark shadow on "our" miniature world, well, let's not forget that the people who watch CSI (moi included) already get a kick out of the dark side! I expect a lot of them are detail oriented, into the unusual, and appreciate a new look at an old reality. Doesn't that sound like a recipe for a miniaturist? We may draw a whole new group of people into our Little hobby/passion/obsession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Absolutely!!! That does sound like a recipe for a miniaturist to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerOdyssey Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I saw that episode, and was wondering if I'd hear a buzz about it amongst the mini-community. Here we go! I like how in the episode, each camera shot they took of the crime scene, it's miniature equivalent was shown... eggs and bacon in a pan, paper on the table, etc. I like how the detective was wondering which came first... the scene or the murder. It was pretty cool. It'd be sort of funny if the murderer was a serial miniaturist murderer--and did that a bunch of times with a new mini-scene each time he kills, until the CSI team find him.
