    Although there quite a few stinkers in season 12, I do think it's a more energetic season overall han 11, which really does seem kind of shopworn. The mostly new cast helps.

    Well, based on the press release and the promo CBS just put out, I’d say Danny doesn’t die, but is permanently injured by Mrs. Wo Fat. Both he and Steve (radiation poisoning and/or liver) decide to...
