  • A break from the usual formula.

    In season two, CSI has really found its stride. The magic formula of unusual death of an unusual character is used repeatedly through the series, with little character development, and no multiple episode arcs to link the series together. You could happily watch every episode in the season in a random order or skip a few weeks, and not notice the gap. This episode however, is a break from the norm, and a chance to introduce the characters from the spin-off series. Grissom takes a back seat, and we have a chance to see Catherine working on her own. Catherine, who is usually a strong female lead, is somewhat subdued in this episode despite the fact that the storyline would surely ring truer with her than any other csi, as she also has a young daughter. However its Horatio who shines in this episode and gives us great incentive to check out the spin-off show. All in all a good episode, though it felt as though more attention was paid to the new characters than developing the existing ones.moreless

  • A lead on a big case takes the CSI team (minus Grissom) to Miami. Hello, Horatio!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this installment, and didn't even miss Mr. Grissom, stuck back in Las Vegas as he was. It was great to see Catherine et al do their work without Grissom as the Head Honcho. They seemed to work more confidently, often with a better sense of humor than back in Vegas. We also got introduced to Horatio Caine and his band of merry CSIers, characters all. It was fun to see how these individuals all worked together, something that doesn't often happen in cross jurisdictions like this. I could imagine Catherine working with Horatio all the time. Horatio showed himself to be a man of compassion as well, especially when he first found the daugher of the victims. He sat down in the bayou (or wherever they were) and patiently waited for them to be found. He also shared the next-to-last scene in the episode with this child, never once talking down to her, but treating her as an intelligent individual. John M. Keane's background music for this episode was excellent. I wish I could hear more of his work. All in all, a very enjoyable hour.moreless

    I thought this was one of the greatest ones. I loved how the two teams worked together even though it was a Las Vegas case. I liked how Crane stayed with the little girl until she was found and came to her after the case was solved.Great way of introducing fans to other CSIs.

    • While Horatio and Catherine are investigating a limo driver who was possibly involved in a set of murders, the driver says he was "Picking up the Corwins" at the airport. This is likely a reference to Jeff Corwin, a herpetologist, who would guest-star in CSI: Miami Season 2 episode "Endgame." Edit
