CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

"Targets of Obsession" is a better episode of this season. It is a direct sequel to the premiere, "Shock Waves". When I watched the premiere, I knew it would continue because it did not have a real ending. I liked the sequel even more than the first part but Justin Bieber's acting is poor. This was a great way end this storyline. The courtroom scenes were entertaining although I did not like the ending when Haskell escaped. The brides were weird but it is just the storyline. But we see the Nate Haskell saga ending in the last 3 three episodes of this season.

Just when I thought the saga of Nate Haskell was finally over. Bill Irwin once again gives a very impressive performance as cunning serial killer Nate Haskell, but I think that character has run its course. I do not like how the writers have decided to draw that character out even further. I found Haskell's escape to be a little too implausible for my tastes. The group of bimbos that Nate wooed over to help him escape where a blatant contrivance. Please. The episode's second storyline was better, but as before I did not buy Justin Bieber for one second.

OMG!!! I loved this episode, for me, it was one of the best episodes for the current season, maybe the best if we forget "11x04 Sqwegell", the courtroom scenes were amazing and for the first time, I liked how Ray´s acting developed here, he did an amazing job, in the other hand, I thought it was going to be an abysmal episode because of justin bieber´s return, but I was wrong, I did not like his acting here neither, but the plot was very good compared with "11x01 Shock Waves", finally, the reason why I´m not giving a 10 to this episode is because of the ending scene, for me it was bad done and I´m getting tired about nate haskel, now we have to wait for another episode related with him, but maybe it is going to be brilliant too, I don´t know.



P.D: I´m from venezuela, I´m not an expert writing in english, please forgive my mistakes

I'd forgotten just how creepy Haskell was, and for me it was magnified when he was in the suit. Kinda humanised him but at the same time reminded us what a human being is capable of.



It was good writing after the diffusing of the frag for Nick, his anger was believable but he still had the fear for it to be realistic.



At first I found the warehouse scene quite predictable; that the CSIs would follow the blood to the body, to enable the bomb. But the first booby-trap caught me completely by surprise and it was a very clever idea.

I groaned when they had less than 1 minute to stop the bomb thinking they would do it one second left kind-of-thing, but I was pleasantly surprised they had 16 seconds left. And then obviously totally shocked, some good writing here and the viewer just doesn't know what is coming next.



Justin Bieber is dead, yayyy! Oh wait, just his character :( But that's still good, will be good to see how Nick reacts to it.



Brilliant acting from Fishburne in the early stages of the case and Haskell's script was just perfect, sent shivers down my back. When Haskell appealed to the jury with his genetic mutation I could see no way Ray could persuade the jury otherwise, so Ray's comeback was 'delightfully unexpected'. It was a forgone conclusion from there on in.



Did not like the ending at all. I think I would have preferred him stay in jail, or at least ti have stayed in there for a little bit. However, I did enjoy the Shane Casey story with CSI:NY so who knows, may turn out alright.



I did enjoy this episode, just let down by the ending in my eyes.

I didn't like the whole Haskell representing himself. But I guess it was the storyline. Now how the heck did he switch with the other inmate? Kind of far-fetched.



Poor Kip... It was the first episode and he seemed pretty nice. Kind of a dramatic moment with Vartann, Cath and Nick in there.



I felt like Sara was pushed in the background and so was Greg, but I wish Sara had been more active and more supportive to her partners. But I guess it was the writers, right?



I like when we get to see more of Nick's emotional side, because it gives George Eads a chance to show how good he can be. His character is definitely my favorite for many reasons specially because Nick is more realistic than the other characters. He's evolved, he's more mature, he's been promoted, he's fought for it and he deals with situations in a very smooth way.



Good episode, even Justin Bieber was better than in the first episode... :P Just a little better.



So now we have the Haskell subplot and the Sqweegel subplot? I would've been okay with the last one.
