Q to direct CSI season finalé

From IMdb Pro and Hollwywood Reporter:
Call it Kill Gil. Quentin Tarantino has signed to direct the season-finale episode of primetime’s most-watched series, CBS’ CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Tarantino also has come up with an original story for the episode, which is expected to shoot in early April and air May 19, according to CSI executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. Tarantino has long been a fan of the stylish forensic drama as series creator/executive producer Anthony Zuiker learned when he bumped into Tarantino at an awards show during CSI’s first season. They have pursued him to direct an episode for some time, and after members of the CSI crew ran into Tarantino a few weeks ago while the show was doing some location shooting in Las Vegas, the stars finally aligned for him to helm the show’s fifth-season closer, Mendelsohn said.

I don’t normally watch this show, but I’ll watch this one. If this is a test to see whether or not Hollywood directors will make an impact on veiwership I think the folks behind it will be pleased with the result. I love the novelty of the idea for sure. It could get a little tiring though. Imagine it being an ordinary thing to see a Scorsese directed toilet paper commercial. Would sort of take the shine off the whole turd.
