If after last week’s disappointing episode you hoped the CSIs would solve the S&M murders, don’t hold your breath. You aren’t going find your answers in this episode either. Not even a mention of last week, and Grissom seems through pining over Sara. If I didn’t know better I’d think

CSI NY has always been my least favorite of the three flavors. CSI Las Vegas was the original, and always seemed to be a little more focused and true to the forensic science. CSI Miami is the “action” based eye-candy version.

Before we get to the forensic points of interest this episode, can someone please explain to me why crime scene investigators were guarding an eye witness who was hidden away in a safe house? Aren’t there any less qualified members of the force that could

It’s the annual Halloween episode, but this time things aren’t crazy-silly. Grissom and team investigate a pair of dead bodies discovered in a trash dumpster. The first body is found by Stokes while he is chasing an armed robbery suspect, who fatally falls

This episode deals with the murder of Delko’s therapist’s daughter, and eventually the therapist herself. Somewhat disappointing, this episode was weak on a few fronts.

The first being Horatio’s opening line, “So did I.” I don’t care how you spin that one, it just

This episode centers around a powerful political “fixer” getting killed, and the political fallout after. Think Jodie Foster’s character in “Inside Job” getting killed, and the fear all of her political secrets and dirt getting leaked.

CSI Miami must investigate some interesting homicides that involve possible cannibalism, stabbings, and brutal beatings. We learn eventually that the two homicides are related, and center around the Russian Mafia in Miami.

[ratings]

Very little forensics in “The Happy Place.” There were three story arcs, two of which were thinly veiled analogies exploring Grissom and Sara’s relationship.

The episode opens with Grissom and Sara in bed, Sara asking Grissom to go on a trip with her to get away for a while after Warrick’s death.

Finally the summer break is over, and we get back to the CSI Miami cliff-hanger that left us wondering if Horatio was dead. From the episode title we understand that Horatio is apparently Christ-like. Something like on the third minute he rose again…

They did some really interesting time lapse photography effects to show how a body decomposes. While pretty gory, it was very interesting to see.

But onto the forensic aspects of the show:
