Write a Recap »"The next Brad Pitt" is found dead in his hotel room, posed on his bed as if he were about to fo a photo shoot. In a separate case, three Laotians are murdered within a day and a night. hide show
Julian Harper, an up-and-coming movie star, is found dead in his bed: COD was asphyxiation. In the end we find out that he strangled himself to death to increase his pleasure. This case was good, and fairly well written. The B case, involving three dead Laotians, was a bit confusing for me. I couldn't quite figure out what was happpening. I should've put this earlier, but the intro and the beginning of the episode (different POVs of the two crime scenes) was really special and an excellent way to start this episode off. Overall, great but again, I couldn't make sense of the B case.
The one thing that I really loved about this episode was the intro sequence. The combination of the images with the song "Mad World" was just perfect. It shows us that no matter if you are rich or poor, death will come to you either way in this mad world.
Great detail with the sweat on Viproxay's and the cab driver's face driving in a beat up cab; while on the other hand, everything was pristine and classy inside the limo. I felt sorry for the cab driver who was just collateral damage. Like I said, the combination with the music and the divided screen made the intro of this episode one of the best I have ever seen.
I really like this episode... hide show
I like the choice of music for the episode really the music that's used to open Room Service and close the episode. The split screen for some scenes was pretty neat too. I think it is so sad that the movie star chose something that could and did end up killing him for some pleasure. It showed that you can have everything and lose it all through death and also that you can have nothing and lose your life because you wanted something material. Really, I take it as it doesn't matter who you are you could still die (movie star or not). The song for the opening and closing gave it the sad spin. You have these two completely different people and look the same thing happened (they both died). Yeah, one was murder and the other well, seemingly accidental death though it almost seems closer to suicide but still...Yeah, I think that's all I got for this episode. It's a good episode.
oh i love eric winters, the guy that played the movies star, i loved him in days of our lives as he played rex. i think he is mcsteamy! very hot! it was a lovely episode, stayed glued to the tv till the end. hide show
so the black csi guy, is he or is he not married? he gets a weird look everytime his marriage is mentioned, so is there something fishy going on there. the guy interpreting in the interrogation room, how stupid was he to take the pd on trust, talk about honour killing, cos your bro prefers gambling and cds to helping the family in the old country now that was tight. all in all it was a must watch episode and cant wait for the next one.
Great start of the season. hide show
Nick and Warrick take a case with a moviestar who was found dead in his room and Catherine, Gil and Sara try to solve a case with three dead men found in the same street.
the directors tried something new and used a split screen to see the prologue of both cases. the split screen is further seen several more times during the episode. not annoying, but also didn't add anything to this episode.
eventually the death of the movie star was an accident. allthough I'm still a bit confused about how they came to the conclusion without aksing around a bit more. in my opinion it could have easily been set-up.
the deaths of the three men in the street were the results of a quarrel between two brothers.
overall it's a good episode with a nice plot to it.
