Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)so as we continue with the first series - sara is introduced and we learn more about warrick. hide show
so from the first moment i set my eyes on sara i have to admit i really didn't like her and to this day i stil find her character insanely irritating.
im sure i just upset her legion of fans but i detest her character although would not go to the length of saying i want her out of the show because she plays a really important part.
im glad she came into the show - i cant see it being as successful if holly gibbs was the main female character under catherine.
the episode is pretty much character development.
interesting case too and i start to adore nick more and more from this episode onwards!!
This episode wasn't as good as the pilot episode but it was still intriguing to watch. I was saddened by the death of Holly. At first it didn't make sense to kill off what I thought was a main character after two episodes but after reading CSI blogs, I later found out that Holly was just a test character that didn't make the cut. How unfortunate. Now we have Sara. Now right off the back, I can tell that she will be one of my least favorite characters just by how she acts. Already she is irritating me. As far as the story line, I thought it was okay. I was definitely glad they caught Holly's Killer. And the way the trapped him was classic. I was a little confused by how the determined the cause of death by the trajectory of the body on the pavement?!?!? Overall I enjoyed it.
This is one of my favorite episodes, which was the appearance of Sara Sidle. It was nice how they introduced her character, she was originally brought into investigate Warrick, since he left Holly at the crime scene alone. Sara is my favorite character so her introduction onto the series was great for me. I love how she and grissom first interact, she says something can't quite remember what, and grissom knows exactly who it is, and simply says I don't even have to ask, I love that. The smile on Grissom's face when Sara arrived was great. She's like yep it's me.
First episode with sara!!!!!! hide show
OK I couldnt believe that warrick left Holly at a crime scene and on top of it she gets shot! So he is put on suspension like he should be. Sara Sidle is called in by Grissom to investagate what happened. A guy who wins a million dollars (I think) is killed in what looks like could be a suicide. They investagate and see that he was pushed and he still had his glasses on so they didnt think he jumped. They end up figuring out that it was his girlfriend that pushed him out of the room because he dumped her because he won the big jackpot.

Holly Gribbs is in surgery after being shot at a scene. Warrick is in trouble for leaving her to go place a bet, and Sarah Sidel is coming in to investigate. Meanwhile, Gil and Nick are investigating the death of a man who fell to his end from a top floor of a casino shortly after winning millions. There was a lot going on in this episode, but to me the most interesting story was Holly and the investigation of her shooting (and later, death). I liked Holly quite a bit, the actress that portrayed her was quite talented and I felt she would have been a great addition to the show. I suppose, though, that we were supposed to feel like that, and it was a cool and surprising twist on the part of the writers and I bet lots of viewers were shocked back when this episode first aired.
The killer of the suddenly rich man was not very surprising but the investigation was interesting. Certainly more interesting than Warrick being blackmailed by the judge.
