"CSI: Cyber" just aired its midseason finale, and the explosive episode made it win against the other shows on the same time slot on Sunday night. According to TV Fanatic, the show reached 6.2 million viewers and a 1.1 rating, while the Miss Universe pageant slipped ratings from that in last year's.

In other news, Assignment X was able to chat with Charley Koontz, the actor who plays Daniel Krumitz, and he said that working as a cyber-expert made him more wary of using his own computer. "I just use it less. I mean, I feel like a jilted lover with my computer. We had such a good thing going, and then I found out all this stuff that it knows how to do. So you start to scale back, and you start to be more aware of what you're putting out, or not even putting out, the stuff that you're having in private conversations with people," he shares.
He also said he loves that "CSI: Cyber" tackles plots that are not the ordinary. "It's somebody who wants to park outside your house and hack onto your wi-fi and steal all your stuff and really put you in a precarious situation. That's what I found to be the most crazy about all these scripts, is that you have to solve a crime where two people aren't linked," he said.
"CSI: Cyber" is currently on break, but will be back on Jan. 10 next year, on CBS.
