    Even without all that "science besides" all crime solving that characterizes the show it had been a fantastic episode.
    It was nice to see how was Catherine as a young girl (and I have to say that she was quite hot).
    It was also very good to see that game played between the "legend" and the reality.
    To sum up, it was not the best episode of the show, but it was very interesting and good to watch.
    I didn't saw it for the first time but I'm happy because I had the opportunity to watch it later.
    Keep things going like this writers, please ;)moreless

    Checked the score of the episode and read most of the reviews here before I watched this episode. Since the score was not higher than 9 and many people wrote that it's not as good as the other episodes, I didn't have much of expectation for this one. But, anyway I watched it and got to love it. If you like the episodes in which smart and meticulous killer(s) appear, I bet you will like this one too.

    The past between Catherine and the killer, Mickey Dunn, 30 years ago was interesting to see. (Especially, it seems like there is a close resemblance between the young girl ,who played 16-year-old Catherine, and real Catherine now.)moreless

  • It was fun to watch, as long as you didn't think too hard.

    I just watched this for the first time, on DVD, and have read all the reviews. 1. So far no one seems to have noticed that the young Mickey Dylan had brown eyes, and the older one, played by Roger Daltrey, had blue eyes! I thought it unusual they didn't catch that detail, since the directors and such usually are pretty attentive to detail. 2. Like some others, I also wondered why it took them so long to find out it was one guy disguised as 3. They usually go by fingerprints. 3. I did like the connection between Mickey and Catherine 30 years ago, and how important it was for her to find out her father protected her. They did a great job casting the girl who played the younger Catherine.moreless

    I liked this episode because it went back in time. I also like that it was kinda like a myth but people say that they saw his comming out of the lake. I also thought it was cool because Catherine had had a run in with the guy before and he was there to. I thought this was a more funny episode than most but i still liked it because i got a laugh out of it so that was a good part. I liked how they investaged it but then kin of found him and interagated him to see why he did it. I also thought it was cool how they talked about how they shot a cop and put him in it.moreless

  • Good display of costume/make up ...

    The team must investigate a case that happened several years ago when the car of a mob boss is retrieved from a lake. When three other murders occur with each victim having a copy of the same picture stuck in their mouth, the team figures that they must be somehow connected. Turns out the killer was the mob boss Mickey Dunn, who disguised himself each time wearing masks. This episode was really good for the costume/make up department. Catherine learns that Sam cared for her since she was really young and that Sam warned Mickey to stay away from her.moreless

Hodges: Ah, and I got trace analysis on the sample Phillips collected on Chicken Johnny. Grissom: And? Hodges: Alginate and Plaster of Paris, a combination used to make dental impressions.

    • Catherine: Thank god I blew you off when I didn't know any better. (starts walking away) Mickey: Sam Braun's daughter. (Catherine turns towards him) You think I would ever forget a face? That face? Ask yourself what force on Earth would've kept me from your soft, teenage graces. Only one, Daddy. Catherine: Sam Braun stopped you? Mickey: Sam always said that if I ever touched you, he'd tear me apart. That took a big pair to say that to me, he said that you were family. Still, now he's gone. We could always give it a go. Catherine: You're not going anywhere. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Mickey Dunn's license plate, "CHAINSAW", is most likely a reference to the 1974 slasher film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Edit
    • Mickey: That's a real good looking boy! This is the title of one of The Who's songs, Real Good Lookin' Boy. Edit
    • Warrick: Mickey Dunn and his pal Jimmy Hoffa are in hell some where laughing their asses off. Jimmy Hoffa was a noted American labor leader with ties to the mafia. Jimmy Hoffa has 'disappeared' since 1975. No theory has been proven and his body has never been found. Hoffa was declared legally dead and a death certificate issued on 30 July 1982, seven years after his disappearance. Edit
