Nice crossover

It had been a while since I watched Without a Trace so it was nice to see Jack Malone in this episode.

Sara is just losing it. Poor woman. She never got over her personal problems so other people's problems is just too much for her. It is understandable, you just can't blame her. She needs to get out of there before it's too late.

Not too much of Warrick or Nick, and Hodges as always... Kissing somebody's butt... Jack was a little bit insensitive at the beginning until he saw himself as the parent he is. Then and only then he kind of felt something.

Let's see what happens in the continuation.moreless

CSI Meets Without a Trace in a great Crossover.

"Perfect"

By RockyBoc, Mar 14, 2009 Report Abuse

Well i loved this episode. As a fan of both Without a Trace and CSI it was almost a dream come true for the 2 shows to join forces.
This, the first part focusses more on the CSI side of the investigation with Grissom and his team searching for the killer of a young boy. Jack Malone from the FBI missing persons unit arrives believing this case is related to that of a another boy who was abducted from his home in NYC! This was an amazing episode and the interaction between Grissom and Jack was very intersting and funny at the same time. This episode also shows Sarah beginnig to hate her job and is a great build up to her exit. Overall a top crossover episode with a huge cliffhanger ending that continues over on Without a Trace!moreless

The episode before Sara leaves. I love it. It's amazing how Jack automatically new that Sara and Grissom were dating. And all sara did was come in and say Gil and told him about Hank. Yeah Sara really is the only one who calls Grissom Gil, but it took Jack like two seconds to figure it out and it took grissom revealing the affair for the team to figure it out. It was funny watching the team having to work with an FBI agent. Them having to take orders and having them all work together as a team. It shows how much the team has grown together.moreless

WOW

What a brillient episode! I love CSI and Without A Trace and combining these two shows was a great idea!! I wish Greg was in it though! Greg RULES!! It was funny watching Jack in Gil's office with the pig, I hate that freakin' spider behind his desk too! Normally I can figure out CSI before it ends and thats why I stopped watching it, but I had to watch it with the cross over. I couldn't figure this one out though. The train was a cool link and I knew his son was in the car when he shot that cop. But I didn't want to figure it out cos I knew it went into Without A Trace the next day too. Gil in New York with Jack and his team!! Looks great!moreless

I love CSI and Without A Trace so much that I was ecstatic when I found out that the two shows were getting together to do a crossover but I think because I got so excited I became very dissapointed with the outcome. I always love to see Nick and Greg so that was nice but the things I found most intriguing were centered around Jack. The way over the top but necessary interogation and the fact that he instantly knew that Sara and Grissom were a couple despite only just meeting them. It was a good plot line that would have probably gotten a 10 if it had been an average episode of CSI.moreless

- Grissom: I've learned that sometimes you can go faster by going slow. Jack: Yeah, well, I like to go faster by going fast. Waiting around is not exactly my best thing. Grissom: I gathered that from your interogation technique. You know maybe you should go back to your hotel. Take a nap. Jack: Is this your office, really? By choice? It's not some surplus, overflow issue? Grissom: What's wrong with my office? Jack: Oh, I don't know, uh, why don't you tell me? Grissom: That's an radiated fetal pig. I used it to determine the affects of radiation on tissue. Jack: For what? Grissom: For fun. Sara : Hey, Gil I uh sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Grissom: No, no. It's fine. Jack Malone, FBI. Sara Sidle, CSI. Jack: Hi. Sara : Hello. I hear your abduction case is now a serial murder. Jack: Yeah.

(turns and leaves) Jack: Is Hank your kid? Grissom: Hank's my dog. She walks him for me sometimes. Jack: Oh yeah, that's how it starts. I have some experience dating in the workplace. Grissom: Really? And, uh, how'd it work out for ya? Jack: Undetermined. Edit
- Warrick: Adoptive parents had no contact with the kidnappers? They were not given any ransom demands? Jack: There was no motive. I couldn't even give the parents a reason. Grissom: Maybe there isn't one. Edit
