CSI: Vegas Gets Series Order at CBS, Wallace Langham's...Wallace Langham - IMDbHodges and Wendy.
David Hodges is a fictional character on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.Hodges is very afraid of germs and gives far more information than anyone wants to hear.
A lab technician with a B.A.His superiors at the Los Angeles crime lab felt that he had an attitude problem and transferred him to Las Vegas.In Las Vegas, Hodges has annoyed his co-workers and superiors, and in the season 3 episode, "Play With Fire", he is one of the employees who was initially suspected of causing the explosion that injured Greg.Despite being accused of causing the explosion by Warrick Brown, he denies responsibility to the point of promising to call his lawyer.When it's discovered that Catherine caused the explosion, he is cleared.In the April 9, 2007, edition of TV Guide, Langham described his character as a pain in the ass who "kisses up" to his superiors.He thinks he is superior to the other laboratory technicians and wants to be like Gil Grissom.During the seventh season, Hodges used a fake name to sign up for an online class that Grissom was teaching.Hodges is often told to report his findings to other CSIs or to leave his office by Grissom.He seems to be under the impression that he's held in higher regard by the senior CSIs than he really is, and he doesn't note his own character flaws.In "I Like to Watch", Hodges contacts the reality television crew that is following the CSI crew while they investigate a case so they can video tape his report to Sara.Sara asked if he was all right while he used as many complicated terms as possible.At one point in the episode, he sees them filming the DNA lab and says that they should be in his trace lab.He is more often portrayed as someone with poor social skills than a genuinely annoying character during season 9, though they are still used for comic relief.
He sometimes redeems himself despite his attitude.In the fifth season finale, "Grave Danger", he saves the entire CSI team when he calls them seconds before they open the container that has trapped Nick Stokes and tells them that Semtex charges are rigged at the bottom.
In the seventh season episode "Lab Rats", Hodges persuaded his fellow laboratory technicians to help him identify The Miniature Killer.At the end of the episode, it was concluded that bleach might be a factor in the murder scenes.Hodges was praised for his work by the man who found him in his office.Hodges was asked to leave his office a second time.
During this covert investigation, a phone number linking the four Miniature Killer victims and previous suspect Ernie Dell was called using the phone of the person who was concerned about the actual Miniature killer.
David Hodges becomes a main cast member at the beginning of the eighth season.In the episode "The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp", he says that he misses working with him on The Miniature Killer cases.
Hodges has an acute sense of smell and is able to identify many chemical compounds by their smell alone.In one case, he was asked to verify if a person's stomach contents had traces of cyanide, which has a smell similar to bitter almonds, but which requires a specific scent-related genes to be able to discern.
Due to a shortage of CSIs at the beginning of season 9 due to Warrick's death, Hodges has been on the field at least twice.He dislikes working on the field.He almost found crucial evidence in a matter of seconds.
The bad guys will win more if we don't have you, and that's what Hodges tells him in "One to Go"."Watson was a genius in his own right," said Grissom.He went so far as to waste Raymond Langston's time while making him wait to get trace evidence processed, perhaps because he is unfriendly toward his would-be new colleague.He states to Langston that he's impressed after he demonstrates the construction and detonation of a cornmeal time-bomb made to kill a victim.
At the end of "The Grave Shift", he walks into the old office and places the fetal pig in a jar on one of the shelves.He left without a word.
In the fourth episode of the 12th season, "Maid Man," he confessed to Catherine that he failed the driving test twice before getting a license.
An online auction for a fictional Three's Company board game in the episode "Lab Rats" was won by Hodges, who is an avid fan of the sitcom.In the seventh-season episode "Post Mortem", he is seen dancing in the laboratory to a down-tempo cover of the song "Word Up!"While waiting for the test results.
In a season 5 episode, "Iced", Hodges is revealed to have a "genetic quirk" that allows him to smell if cyanide is present, and Doc Robbins uses this unique ability to test if two victims died of cyanide poisoning.While many people have the ability to smell cyanide, Hodges's ability is more acute than most and appears to extend to other chemical compounds.The dead elderly couple in "The Theory of Everything" were used to determine if cyanide had anything to do with their deaths.
He is a go-kart enthusiast.His favorite gummy candy is jubes.Pistachios are easy to open.
There is a reference to the no-win training scenario administered to Star Fleet Academy students in the eleventh Star Trek film.In the seventh-season episode "Monster in the Box", he calls the cat Mr. K.
In the eleventh season of "Wild Life", he confessed to Sara that he is afraid of birds.
In the past, the character has had an interest in Sara, but she has never given him any reason to believe she shares his feelings.A lab tech has a crush on another tech.In every scene that they share, we see continuous flirting between them.In the eighth-season episode "The Chick Chop Flick Shop", the lab tech's watch a low-budget film in which Wendy played a victim.Wendy argues that her breasts are not large, but are rather "kind of medium", as she criticizes the genre for featuring stereotypically large-breasted women.Everyone stares at him when he adds "but perfect", apparently not realizing that he's speaking aloud.He tacked "-ly adequate" on to the end of his sentence to cover his tracks."Mindy Bimms", a player piece in his CSI board game, was labeled "clumsy yet buxom" in the season 8 episode "You Kill Me".
In the season 9 episode "A Space Oddity" after bumping into each other at an Astro Quest convention, there is a lot of romantic tension, with Hodges having fantasies about the show with Wendy in the main roles.He blames Wendy for these interfering with his work.They bring their feelings out into the open by arguing.Wendy says it's good that you're having fantasies because it will make you more aware.She has feelings for him.He can't do anything about her interfering with his work because of his guilt.Despite the romantic tension, he tries to keep their relationship professional.He demanded an apology from the suspect who insulted Wendy in front of him.The suspect headbutts him in the face, causing his nose to bleed, and causing Wendy to chide him.Wendy kisses him at the end of the movie.
