New Loaded Bad Revealed in CSI: Miami

There’s going to be a new big bad for Horatio Caine to tangle with in the upcoming tenth season of CSI: Miami. TV Guide reports that Carlos Bernard, who played Tony Almeida in 24, will take on the job as the season’s villain. “We’re going to slowly position Horatio in opposition to a very subtle, but powerful, political patriarch,” said co-executive producer Barry O’Brien. So who exactly is this man who will inevitably shape the season? Well he doesn’t have a name yet, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some information on the character Horatio will go up against. “He’s kind of a Donald Trump meets the Kennedy family. …There will be a very high-octane relationship between the two. A hero is as heroic as his opposition is deadly, so we’re really going to go there with this character.”

What makes this guy so bad? As it turns out, his son is a crazy serial killer. Bernard’s character will use his considerable political pull to cover up his son’s shenanigans. “We’re going to discover that over the course of the season that they may be pulling a lot more strings politically than meets the eye,” O’Brien says.”That will be a driving theme through season 10 — that Horatio may not completely understand the face of evil that is facing him. … Horatio’s fight for justice might just get compromised.”

I make no effort to hide my dislike for the CSI franchise, but even I have to admit this seems like a fantastic baddy for the season.
