First, Las Vegas. I think it was a new episode, wasn't it? I was not at all impressed...it was a pretty typical CSI episode, nothing jumped out at me as being noteworthy. The bit when they find the rapper in the trunk and tell him to climb out so he can be taken for treatment was not particularly funny - it felt like he was mocking transvestites rather than self-mocking.
I don't think Miami was a new episode last night. The only thing I remember about it was the obviously computer-generated tidal wave graphics. You could see the CGI waves, the CGI lighthouse, the CGI palm trees...it was nicely done, but it wasn't realistic at all.
Last Thursday was the first time I played along on CSI Interactive at the
official CSI website - unfortunately it wasn't working properly so I didn't get the full experience. I'll give it a try again this week if I'm not working Thursday night.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I missed the last ten minutes because family was chattering around me; I stuck my fingers in my ears and read the captions for a while, but gave up on that eventually.
This was a major Greg episode. In fact, it had so much Greg, that Nick and Sara weren't even there...a bit odd. I used to like Greg when he was the nerdy kid in the lab, but now that he's morphed into just one of the team he doesn't interest me as much.
I would have liked to see more in this episode about how the woman predicted her own death. Greg talked about it a little bit, and Grissom brushed him away with his power of suggestion comment. Of course, I guess I'm just "wanting to believe" - if she had predicted her own death, this would have been more like an X-Files episode. So perhaps Grissom was right.
The show was weak; it's been better ("Grave Danger" anyone?).
Last night's CSI episode was not as good as I was hoping. When I saw the bit about the reality show in the TV guide, I thought of the X-Cops episode of X-Files, which was clever and funny. Unfortunately CSI didn't do it as well, and the result wasn't very good. The few self-referential jokes (about a six-hour experiment being cut to 30 seconds, etc.) were funny, but the reality show part of the plot just wasn't well-developed. The only part of it I liked was Catherine's reaction to the cameraman invading the victim's privacy while she was still in the hospital. The rest of the episode just didn't do it for me.
