Are they going more down they already did? Just to know, nothing else, because the impression is exactly this one.

"Terrible"

By iretos, Oct 19, 2008 Report Abuse

I have to admit it, I'm watching Miami by now (or probably I always did), because it makes me laugh. But the problem is that it shouldn't cause such a reaction, being supposed to be a drama. But I watch an episode like this one and I laugh because:
1) once again, everything is tight to Horation's son. How many people live in Miami? I'm Italian, I don't know it and I'm curious, but it's a really big city, isn't it? So how is it possible that in almost every case there is a person who knows somebody who knows somebody else who could put Horatio's life in danger?
2) that big .... something, that sort of huge computer with which they "throw" photos into the atmosphere or wherever it is: does anything of this kind really exist? Is it really so relevant if the main characters are always playing with it?
3) why Horatio NEVER looks another person in his eyes? Not even when he's dying, like that poor man who was supposed to watch over his son. He was not dead yet and he was already standing, looking in the camera and saying: I know you did whatever you could. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, he drives me crazy!!!!!
4) I don't want to talk about the other characters, the only one I like is the Cuban guy, Eric, the only normal person in the whole team!moreless

I think the story was quite well written. The personal plot was presented throughout the episode and the murder of a blonde model linked to it too. There were no gripping moments but we don't need to have them all the time (if everything was gripping, nothing would be, would it?) though I did not feel bored for a second. I may not be too much of a family girl and I usually get bored by quotes like "Rebecca, the boy is my son", but Horatio is so classy in his super-important-wise-man-like-quotes and it sounded convincing to me. I like to see him being a father to a minor criminal cause that's what Kyle is, let's don't hide it, haha. He's trying hard and it's a new thing for him. He's a bit like me--good at what he's doing and being put in a new situation he does his best to just do well as always.
I liked too the way Natalia talked to the FBI guy. She needed those tapes but she still didn't want to lose a favor the guy owed her. Genious.moreless

the most un-original of the CSi franchise

"Poor"

By anjul79, Dec 04, 2007 Report Abuse

Is it me or the H tirades in the trailer are starting to get on my nerves ??? on the other half, there are still some nice aspect to csi miami: the music is always good, even great. Some characters are good: Ryan, Alex. I like some of the actors too, even if i like them in other part: emily procter to name one !!
but i get bored really easily while watching it, something that never happens with CSI and CSi NY !
Too bad cause the setting in Miami is great ! maybe the show just run its course, maybe we're ready to move them to another city !! why not abroad ??!!
Aniway, the episode was average, some good things but not exciting and i really have to say it again but horatio gets on my nerve ! David Caruso is overplaying him !moreless

A bit surprising opening... and then a suprising revelation of connection between the murder and... Horatio's current enemy. Then, Kyle's become the suspect of a murder... Evidence puts him as a murder of Oscar, his assigned bodyguard... Horatio still stays cool and do his best... result? watch it! ^^ Though I'd say that I hoped they would kill Joe... So troublesome... creating all the problems now... esp with Kyle so close to him... gosh... i feel a bit of fresh bit in this episode, may be coz of the way certain things be done beyond expectation. Well, looking foward for another episode...moreless

I rated this show an 8, which is due to the fact that I didn't fall asleep. The story was somewhat predictable but I found it intersting to learn that herion can be transported in clothing. Score one for creative thinking.

A beautiful model (aren't they all) is electrcuted during a fashion show and it's discovered that she was the wife of Horatio's nemisis, Joe LaBrock. As the story unfolds, Horatio fears for Kyles life when the man Horatio asked to look out for Kyle gets killed during a bomb blast. Kyle is then accused of setting off the bomb and as luck would have it, the phone is planted in Kyle's bunk. The one aspect of the show I did like were seeing Horatio and Kyle together. He's a good kid that has made some bad choices and I hope the writer's don't forget that. I liked how Horatio blackmailed Joe into saying that he didn't know who Kyle Harmon is. I found it hard to believe that Horatio could bring a hardened criminal like Joe to his knees but Horatio did him a favor by keeping his son's pedohphilia a secret. I can only see Joe being nice to Kyle out of fear that Horation will spill his son's secret to the wrong inmate. The one postive aspect of the show was that no romance was involved and the case seemed to be all that mattered.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- In episode 6x03 'Inside Out', Joe LeBrock's date of birth, according his profile, was 04/25/77, while in this episode it is listed as 04/25/63. Presumably it was changed because it wouldn't make sense for him to have a 26-year-old son otherwise. Edit
