"Fair"

Death and the Maiden is not a good episode in my opinion. The beginning was good. As the episode goes on, it becomes quite boring. The three guys confessing the same crime was badly written. The first 10 minutes caught my attention, but the rest 30 minutes was bad. This is a forgettable episode. Did anyone notice that the victim of rape was killed in 11.6 "Cold-Blooded"?

"Good"

In this episode of CSI, the following happens. The CSI team investigate two different crimes which seem unrelated. Although they quickly learn that they are connected. Soon they have 3 people confessing to one murder, and so the team have to go through the evidence again to discover who is telling the truth.
Overall, I thought this episode was actually quite boring. Last week's episode was better than this one, and hopefully next week will be even better, since it is suppose to be part of a CSI trilogy. So I have high hopes for that episode. I think that CSI is still struggling to find its feet without Warrick, Sara (full time) and Grissom.moreless

Even thought they have done it before - but many cases in table and in the end, it comes out, they were connected, I really liked the story of this one. I mean, it was hard, moving and something that really got to you. Maybe I have been watching this show too much or something but usually the cases are very distanced, but this one.. it got to me. Specially I loved the ending, he just walking away from the girl, seconds after it all looked like happy ending. That was really good turn, showing that sometimes the damage is too big and there is no way going back.moreless

I got to admit it, I'm mostly watching CSI and it's different flavours as Shark weekend on discovery. It's nice to kick back in the sofa and have some moving pictures going on in front of me. But this episode stood out from the usual blend. Touching a subject that is so taboo that it usually don't get reported. But here they show that also men can feel emotional hurt and distress after an assault. Fans of Hodges and Wendy will also get a little treat. As a geek with a bleeding heart I love to see how it will end.moreless

Wow! Never thought CSI would dive into such deep and dark waters as male rape. And they did it with so much class and emotion.

This episode was so good. It was sad. And a nice mystery. I liked that 3 people confessed and believed that they all thought one of the other ones did it but then it was the girlfriend/stripper who was stealing stuff with him. What about Doc Robbins and Langston's clapper scene. That was so funny.

And Hodges with Wendy was also really good. He was sooooo sweet. She is upset about not being able to "pull a sanders". LOL Good lines. The actors who played the couple and the brother and the drunk mother were all amazing. I felt so sorry for the boy who was raped and his girlfriend who was beaten. Overall, best episode of the season. Nice work CSI.moreless

- Greg: Where have you been? Hodges: I was dialoging with Conrad. What else have you been touching? Greg: Have you run the trace from cash tray? (Hodges hands him the file, Greg reads it) Dust bunnies? Hodges: Comprised of dirt, pollen, metal shavings and fecal matter. Did you know that most dust contains trace amounts of poop? Even in hospitals. Greg: What about the white fragment? Hodges: Eh, still in the works. Alright, I know you're dying to know, so I'm just gonna tell you. I was talking to Onrad-Cay about Endy-Way and an ansfer-tray to the ield-fay. Greg: I need the trace ow-nay. (goes to leave) Oser-lay. Edit
- Ray (about the burnt matches): Maybe you could pull DNA. Wendy: I knew you were takin' all the classes, I didn't realize you knew all about DNA. Ray: I don't know all about it, yet. But I did learn that burned materials used to be collected in paint cans, and plastic bags which preserves accelerant but destroys DNA, which no one knew until recently can survive fire damage. Wendy (smiles): I take it you passed. Ray: You take it right. Edit

- Catherine: That's because he's the patron saint of travel. Eddie used to have one hanging on his rearview, didn't do him much good either. This is an allusion to the season 3 episode Lady Heather's Box, in which Catherine's ex-husband Eddie, accidentally runs his car off the road and dies. Edit
- Episode Title: Death And The Maiden The title alludes to the play of the same name, written by Ariel Dorfman. The play depicts the story of a woman, Paulina, who is a survivor of rape and torture. It examines the physical and psychological after effects on the victim and whether there is any value in revenge. Edit
- Greg: Looks like Jack Sparrow's been here. When Greg opens a container full of watches, jewelry, and valuable items, he alludes to the famous fictional pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, which is also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
