I think I´m talking for everybody when I´m saying that this is one of the best chapters in the CSI storie, this one and "7x24 Living doll" were great, I really miss this kinf of episodes. I´m started Watching season eleven and all I can say is "PLEASE SAVE CSI".

I loved this episode not only by the plot but also by the good acting here, I hace to say that I´m not a fan of George Eads, actually I don´t like him but I have to admit that he was exellent in this one, his acting was really convincent.

P.D: I´m from venezuela, I´m not an expert writing in english, please forgive my mistakes

When you make a 2-part episode, it's supposed to be because you have so much material to cover that it cannot be covered in one episode. Aparently, this episode didn't get that memo. You spend half the episode fast forwarding through Nick's bad singing to a dumb "Christmas in Las Vegas" song, and the other half yelling at the CSI people to stop sitting there staring off into space while Nick is dying. Pretty early in the episode, they had a search radius and knew about the psycho-dude's daughter. They also knew that he was using elements from her case as imagery in the kidnapping. Somehow, no one thought about checking into the daughter's interests until Nick is being eatten alive by fire ants (at the end). While they were standing around playing "kick the bucket" or huddled around a webcam gawking, they could have been searching through her history (and the psycho-dude's history), or combing the search area, or gee, pretty much anything other than wasting screen-time. Nick, while in a terrible situation, began to flip out. Put yourself in his shoes. You are sealed in a box, burried alive, with limited air. Do you A) Flip out like a nut or B) Concerve your air and hope for rescue? I like option B, and Nick, as a character, tends to be more level-headed. It came across as contrived. In short, this was a frustrating episode to watch because it moved about as quickly as molasses in January, the CSIs kept standing around doing little or nothing while Nick was dying, and the plot line seemed very contrived in multiple places (like using the backhoe at the end, but spending forever digging him out by hand just minutes before). I don't know who wrote/directed this, but I can't help hoping that they aren't going to be doing a lot of Season 6 episodes. This was just... *shakes head* ...words fail me. I have to say that this ranks as the worst CSI episode I have yet to watch.

Loved it if I could I would rate it 100/10!
It had me gripping my seat wondering if they would get to him in time. I no it's an old episode but I only just saw it and I want to watch it again and again. I didn't think they would find anything at all but when Sara found the thumb it had me transfixed. I wanted to punch that Kelly Gordon in the Face when she said "I hope your friend dies" I was furious. I'm a big fan of CSI and this has to be one of my favorite episodes.

There is a fight within me on which episode to choose as one of my top episodes and as much as this may not be the top one coz the show is not over yet and I keep reviewing other episodes, this particular one to me was special to me and to date still ticks me up whenever I watch it. It evoked emotions in me that frequently are not seen and as a dude, that is a rare occurence. Once again, nobody does it better than this show and the inclusion of Tarantino was just a touch of genius. Lovely!

Oh my god, this episode is AWESOME. God, I love this episode, this is the best episode in this series, ever!! Thanks to Quentin Tarantino for this excellent episode. I love this episode, especially after Nick's coffin breaking, the episode is getting better. The classification for this episode is way too many, so I think I just choose "Series Classic" because this episode has "Another great installment", "Exactly why I watch this series", "Nerve-wracking", "Tearjerker", "Exciting" and others. Where can I find this excellent episode in others series? This is just a perfect example why I like to watch CSI. I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!
