  • Quite shocking

    What I found quite shocking in the beginning was the mention of Paul Millander, who was a very creepy criminal back in the first seasons of the show. But when everything was solved, it was all right.

    Poor Craig. I believe he needed so much attention and someone to talk to that he hid behind that crazy disguise. I love that Sara is back and I hope she has more episodes, because what she did for Craig was nice.

    I think the addition of a subplot is very interesting, reminds me of the miniature killer plot which was awesome. I liked how Nick talked to the man in the end. He's got this voice that can convince people.moreless

    I do not know.. but I think CSI is going to get better. They probably realized their mistakes from last season and now trying to do their best to make the show catching again. Having Sara back, for sure, works and it almost feels like a old times. Also Langston starts to feel more and more in place and the part he opened up about himself in this episode.. I think it was good and worked. Also the possible serial killer case (what will probably follow us through the season) looks promising.

    The case this episode. Not bad.. not bad at all. The sad thing was that it was quite clear from the start who is the killer. It was too obvious but the ending, arresting that guy, was much more unexpected. Great talking by Greg.

    Good episode.moreless

  • I decent ep.

    "Good"

    This episode was good, if a bit predictable. Only because we already know they're going to try for the twist and the twist in this episode was the neighborhood watch guy. (and even though I watched this late I was unspoiled) As soon as the girl ran out to him I was like "that guy did it." The boy was just WAY too obvious so I knew they weren't going to go with him. I think a better twist would have been to have it be the serial killer's wife or even the neighborhood watch guys wife. That would have surprised me a bit more. I'm finally growing to like Langston, mostly because he's not being shoved in our faces at the expense of the other characters. But he is also starting the gel a little more with the cast I'm still annoyed that he is the only one that ever seems to have the answers though. I mean come on! Cath and Nick are in a position of leadership for a reason. Its unrealistic for the newbie to have all the answers all the time and as of yet to even make a probie mistake. I would have liked more Greg, but than I always want more Greg. The poor boy doesn't get enough love. ;)

    So all in all a decent ep. I'm going to go watch the next in the series now.moreless

    In this episode of CSI, the following happens. When a murder is committed, the team soon have a suspect, even though there is hardly any evidence pointing towards him. The suspect is the step son of Mason, the serial killer form the first season of CSI. He is arrested on suspicion of murder, and the CSI team must overcome their natural prejudices against the boy's antecedents in order to track the true culprit. But this is harder than it seems. As the team follow the evidence, soon it becomes clear who the killer is and he is arrested. Overall a good episode, with a good link back to the first season.moreless

    • Title: Ghost Town is a term often used to describe a town that has been vacant for some time. Edit
    • Goof: Craig Mason is unable to hold a box cutter properly because of his hands' anomaly - so he must have outdone himself by cutting a perfectly square-shaped hole into the cardbox at the window which clearly contradicts his performance in Langston's experiment. Edit
    • Goof: When Harvey Wincroft is talking to Nick during the possible hostage situation in front of his house, his pants are dry but moments later when he gets arrested by police officers and is about to kneel down, you can see that his pants' fabric around his knees is already wet like he had kneeled down before.

    • Sara: Craig, if we made you feel like you were paying for your father's crimes, then I'm sorry. Craig: You know, I never even met Mr. Millander, yet I'm more like a Millander than a Mason. You probably wonder how that happened. Sara: It has crossed my mind. Craig: My father, Doug Mason used to take me to the Hallo-weird warehouse once a month. He told me that the owner, Mr. Millander was his friend, and he'd play with me with me just like every father would play with his son. Millander's costumes were like toys to me, and I'd tell my father every time that we went to tell this Mr. Millander that he was a genius. And then one day it all stopped, I lost both my father and my idol. And making masks and rubber hands is just my way of keeping the connection alive. Edit
    • Ray: A man who wears a tuxedo every day doesn't forget his bow tie. Catherine: So what, someone took it? Ray: His bow tie's missing, his intestines are tied into a bow. That can't be a conscidence. I think Dr. Jekyll took it as a souvenir. Catherine: A souvenir? That's what serial killers do. JoJo died of natual causes. Ray: I have a bad feeling that this isn't the last time we're going to see Dr. Jekyll and I think next time he's not going to be content starting with a dead body. Edit
    • Ray: See, Craig, you and I have something in common: We both have fathers who killed people. Craig: Your father was a serial killer? Ray: No, he was a soldier in the Korean War. He even got a Bronze Star for his work. Craig: That's different. Ray: No it's not. See, even after the war was over, my father continued to fight, every once in a while he'd go out to a bar, not so much to drink, but to pick fights. I remember one day, he came home one day and was very excited. He had a black eye and a fat lip, and was bragging about how he had knocked somebody out. Said he hit the man so hard the paramedics had to peel him off the floor, said it was the most fun he had ever had. Edit

    • Sara (after finding a dead crow in Craig's room): Satanists have been known to collect dead crows to keep the smell of death around them. Nick: How do you know that? Grissom? Sara: Ozzy Osbourne. I loved Black Sabbath... for a summer. Nick: Well, in that case, I guess we're lucky that the head's still on it. (Sara smirks) This is a reference the media claiming that Ozzy's messages on his songs, actions and stage decorations are portrayals of devil worship and glorified Satanism. It is also a reference to after Ozzy signed his first solo career record deal he came in to meet some of the people who worked at the record company. His plan was to release doves into the air as a sign of peace; instead, he grabbed a dove, bit its head off, then spat the head out and had blood dripping from his mouth and also to when a concert goer threw a bat on stage and Ozzy picked it up and bit its head off. Edit
    • This is episode has flashback to all the episodes with Paul Millander in them: Pilot (S1 Ep1), Anonymous (S1 Ep8), and Identity Crisis (S2 Ep13). Edit
