My goodness, I haven’t seen that many women play men in I don’t know how long.
It took me a minute to recognize Dr. Lavelle…she was on a couple of episodes of Law and Order. In one, she played a psychiatrist who was sleeping with her atient, and got him to kill his fiance. She hasn’t aged well.
I found the whole story rather tragic. And you don’t often hear the phrase, “Last night I performed fellatio on my wife.” :eek:
I thought it was a great episode. Just so interesting, I especially liked Grissom’s little speech about the oysters at the end.
But yes, I am almost ashamed to say I laughed so hard I choked at the fellatio line. 
Lindsey Crouse. She was also Maggie Walsh on Buffy. Season 4.
I couldn’t decide which line I liked better:
“Just for the record, I really do like my penis.”
-OR-
“I perform fellatio on my wife. Sometimes, after lunch.”
Thank God for TiVo - I had to pause after the fellatio line and pick myself up off the floor.
Twisted episode, pretty cool, except for the lame oyster story. I could see in the tranny’s eyes “Oh Jesus, I’m a woman who used to be a man and THIS guy is weirder than me.”
See, that’s exactly why I liked the story so much.
And I would also like to add that I have decided that I utterly worship the ground Greg walks on.
I think the episode was also helped by the fact that it was written by Jerry Stahl, who’s done other CSIs in the past, but is probably best known for writing the autobiographical Permanent Midnight. The writing just worked, and to me clearly stood out as one of the best-scripted episodes this season.
Maybe I’m stretching a little here, but there seemed to be a little homage to William S. Burroughs’s Naked Lunch (and David Cronenberg’s adaptation of the same), with Dr. Lavelle’s alter ego being named Dr. Benway, and the theme of the doubling and tripling of identities in the episode.
