"And here...is where I pause and take off my shades."
It's Monday night, and due to the hype of the ads, Mel & I are morbidly watching
CSI: Miami to see if someone finally managed to succeed in giving thousands of people what they would love to see: someone killing David Caruso.
(Spoiler warning: he's still in the opening credits.)
But if one were to attempt to kill the character Horatio Caine, I think we have been given the means by this episode in the form of a dramatic pan shot revealing that Caine's trademark Dramatic Acting Sunglasses have a bullet hole through them. You see, this is why Caine is indestructible in the series: he is in fact immortal, and his power source/mortal weakness is in his sunglasses. You destroy his sunglasses first, and only then can you destroy Caine.
It's a twisted reversal of "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" from
Heroes. Or "The cheerleader saves the world (repeatedly)" from
Buffy.
Now if you'll excuse me, TV Tropes demands that I feed it the last couple of pieces of my soul. Mmmmm...soul....
