A nice return to form for CSI; to some this may seem like a filler episode but for me it's exactly what I want from the show. It was great to see the characters move away from their emotions and focus on a story which was purely about the crime itself. CSI works so well as a long-running show because of its ability to switch between both running arcs and standalone episodes. Also with the return of Warrick in a more stable state of mind I'm hopeful the show will continue on from this fine form.
The story itself wasn't the best or most exciting but held my attention for the length of the episode. It was also nice to see a little more of Nick in the episode as he has been absent from the last few. However I'm hoping for a little more Greg screentime, as he too has been notably missed out on recently. This is perhaps due to the focus on Warrick's storyline recently which has taken much time away from the other characters.
All in all, a nice episode which served its purpose of entertaining the viewer for a good 40 minutes. It's not one I will remember but still one to enjoy.
It was somehow off balance episode I say. The beginning was cathing, the middle part just died off and again, the ending nailed me to the screen. I was almost going to say it was waste of time but the way the ending was plotted and how everything came together, it saved a lot for me and somehow there was a beautiful meaning in this episode, what was so easily to be missed.
So, I think it was worth of watch but nothing too stunning and amazing. The story was good but somehow not well brought out and in the end - it looked little shallow.
I really enjoyed this episode. I liked the fact that it was a pretty much Nick dominated episode as I am a huge Nick and Greg fan. I laughed so hard when Hodges told Catherine that he was a real man because he admitted that he cried during Brokeback Mountain. The look on her face said it all. My favourite scene was definitely when Wendy was telling Nick and Greg a lovely story about a man who had a thing for his animals. I liked that Nick was able to tell Warrick how they all miss him. Hopefully Warrick will soon be back to his former self knowing he has friends around to support him.
Not the best in my opinion hide show
I enjoyed this episode to a point. To me since Sara left, Grissom has lost his fire. To me the one thing that has kept grissom going is his love for sara. Since she has left, he lost is passion. He still loves forensics and bugs, it also seems to me that Catherine is slowly being more in charge of the investigations that she is involved in more than Grissom at least. I did read an article about an interview from Peterson about his character Grissom. And he said that he feels that him and his character are getting closer to moving on. Hence, Grissom will retire, and go with Sara, which to me is why Sara will come back, or be at least part of grissoms departure. Like I have said in my other reviews. Alot of people think that Sara will come back pregnant, and with a new attitude about life, but after reading the interview from William Peterson, I think that yes she'll come back with a new attitude but won't want to continue as a CSI, so she isn't surrounded by death again, but she'll be pregnant, and this will get Grissom to leave with her, because remember they are engaged, the writers wouldn't have grissom and sara get engaged, and then have her to leave and never return again.
Who doesn't want to see cowboy's wearing tight jeans and chaps? Country music, the hats, the drawl! Loved it, even if it is the last one for a while... hide show
The "CSI Effect" was AWESOME in this episode. The scenes of the body mechanics (bull and rider) was totally cool. As for the show itself : coming on strong; with the quick humor and sexual innuendos. This is the CSI I grew to love over the past 8 years. I still don't see how parents can let their young children watch this show! But then again I'm a DINK and plan on staying that way for a while. So I digress. "Bull" was very well researched and written. Nice to see the gang back in full swing. Nick having excellent mitigation skills. Warrick's is back to work, even though the "office mole" has not been reveled yet. Grissom's is still down over Sara's departure, but seems more open to talk about it. Hodge's forthcoming about his eclectic movie genera (scary). Wendy's demented storytelling. And one of the better bar scene fights I have seen in quite a while. Humor all around. Overall, I did like this episode very much. I hope that the WGA can resolve their contract issues with the AMPTP soon enough, so the rest of the season does not get scrapped.
