    Awesome... hide show

    Incredible. This is one very, very, very good episode. First, the fire fighter found a body in the chimney and the CSI is called in. Catherine finds out that the house is actually her suspect's house (in a cold case). So, Catherine takes the chances to re-open the old case, although it is not allowed. Incrediblely good. I have to admit this is one very good episode. Although some viewers claimed this episode lacked of Grissom and Greg, but I don't think it has anything to do to this episode. The story is still good, and after 6 years of production, it is very unbelieveable that CSI is still good and getting better.

    An intricate story that brings two cases to a close hide show

    This episode included everything that makes me love this show. I'm referring to a revolving storyline, a great mystery, extensive investigate work and of course, nabbing the bad guy and closing a case. After a charred body is discovered in a chimney, the CSI's are hard at work. The interesting thing is that Warrick & Catherine had previously tried to search the residence in regards to a missing persons case. Now that the home is a crime scene they get that chance. Although unrelated to the body in the chimney, they discover other evidence in the home to suggest foul play in the missing persons case. The episode turns into a case of mistaken identity regarding the body in the chimney as the CSI's victim appears days later purchasing gas. The intricate plot brings Scott William Winters into the scene as a heartbroken father desperate to find out the truth about his daughter's disappearance. I liked this actor from his days on OZ as the mentally slow Cyril O'Reilly. Great Episode!!!

    This definately felt like a filler episode. A preview of what CSI would be like without Grissom...BORING!!! hide show

    I've always thought that CSI was more of a stroyline based show than a character based show. I always thought that it was the well crafted script which made this show so successful rather than the individuality of the characters. Well this episode proved me wrong.
    This episode was nothing but a filler. It felt like it too. Without the presence of Grissom, it made the case seem unimportant. I guess if there was any upside to this episode, it hopefully would have made viewers and producers alike, aware of just how important William Petersen is to this show. This is definately more than just one of those series where you can tune in any time, on an irregular basis, and thoroughly enjoy it. The characters tie each episode together, and if one were to leave, it would leave a massive hole in the show, none more so than Gil Grissom.

    I was not impressed with this episode. hide show

    I only watched this episode a week ago yet I cannot remember a single thing that happened. All I remember that the guy who they thought was killed was still alive and the dead body wasn't even murdered and it was all a ruse to get the CSIs to investigate the house and find the missing daughter of a guy who knew who killed her.

    There was nothing witty about the episode. In order for an episode to catch my attention it needs to have some witty comment from one of the characters. The episode didn't have a single funny moment. Oh well I continue to hope for a less boring episode to rescue us from the boringness that has plagued CSI of late.

    Lack of Grissom and Greg in this show! hide show

    The show is usually good but this episode just wasn't
    That good at all. Like one reviewer says, it was
    Boring despite a great ending but that is our opinion
    And our opinion alone. There was lack of both Greg and
    Of course, the star and glue to the show, Grissom. Only
    In a few scenes since he is the star but liked Cathering and Warrick which made up the show a bit!
