    I thought that this was a pretty good episode all in all. I was glad that TPTB decided not to get rid of the alien plot from Committed. Super Dave's idea of the crop circle was funny. I feel sorry for dear old Super Dave, he gets such a hard time from Nick. If only Super Dave didn't have the label of alien type person after Viva Las Vegas back at the start of the season.

    Greg and the exploding toilet. Laughing the entire time for that scene I swear. Same for Ecklie having his own case. That was another part of the episode in which I felt sorry for Super Dave, not his fault that the body went missing. Only Grissom could get away with a comment like "I love it when you wear those gloves." If anybody else had said it Ecklie would have suspended them for a week with no pay. It was a nice light episode before the season finale, Grave Danger.

    After a couple of somewhat disappointing episodes the show got back on track. All the main characters made their appearances and the CSI team had a total of three interesting cases in their hands.

    The case of the two dead students was the most interesting for me. The kids were found dead on the floor of a dorm room after obviously a passionate night. But the CSIs were confused. A clear case of carbon monoxide poisoning gets complicated when no carbon monoxide can be found. And how does an exploding toilet seat relate to all of this?

    The other cases were about a dead man found in the middle of a crop circle - alien encounter, perharps - and about a man who was found dead next to his car but whose body mystically disappeared from the morgue.moreless

    Greg & Sara investigate the deaths of 2 college students in a dorm room. It was fun to watch them together on this case, and it was the first time this season we get to see Sara actually laugh, and both times were when the toilets exploded. Well, you've got to admit that it was pretty funny. And the even funnier part was the kid that thought Greg was a jock in college.

    We got to see more of Ecklie this time & for the first time we get to see him actually working a case, and surprise, surprise, the body is stolen. Something that would only happen with Ecklie. And the best part was when Grissom came along & made fun of Ecklie. I couldn't stop laughing. It's always nice to see the lighter side of Grissom.

    Catherine & her team's case involes a body found in a crop circle, David thinks it's alien related. Not a very interesting case, and it was solved quickly.

    This was an episode that let Greg and Sarah strut their brainy selves. There's no doubt that both Greg and Sarah were geeks in collage and this is a chance for them to show how cool geeky people can end up. To solve the mystery, they use science and not just forenic science and that's cool.

  • Well this was average episoide, nothing special happended

    i love the title of this episoide iced, it was amusing anyway there were 3 cases in this episoide, college kids dead, A man with a heavy heart and a man who had an heart-attack. so let start with easiest case man who heart-attack because he thought he beening thrown from a plane at much higher attidute. Is this what reality tv has come to putting innocent people in dagerous situation just for our entertainment.

    The college kid, never mess with girl who is a science geek, i really did feel sorry for her i mean it was simple pay-back for what the guy did but i don't get why she didn't monitor the situation, any scientist know, when doing an experiment u need to monitor it . Any scientist knows never make assumption, she should of known that.

    The guy with a heavy heart, i liked how guys steal a body and gave him a good time, it was nice thought but stealing a dead body a felony?, but he returned the body isn't? . What surprised me more was that Heckley had to dust off his CSI kit and i really like Grissom telling him how to do the job. that was funny, i liked how the writer did that actually give this chacter a purpose in the episoide.
