There have been better episodes of CSI: Miami this season but this episode is entertaining despite its logic loopholes. One positive sttribute is how the episode reflects popular culture and celebrity life well. Doug McClain is a very flawed man (Broke, unfaithful, turns his back on his dying son, believes in the scam that is cryogenics) but is loved by many people. That is a very accurate description in today's society (OJ Simpson is a prime example of that). This point and a well-written, but not perfect, script make this episode worth the viewer's time despite it's flaws.moreless

Another rocksolid investigation with a cryogenics theme. Open enough to keep you guessing until the final act.

A former star with a complicated life, ends up dead while on the phone, a loving wife looking to preserve her dead husbands wishes, a loyal manager looking to cash in on his client's death, a reporter after an angle and a cryogenics lab looking to service its latest client. All contribute to another decent investigative case with connotations of betrayal, forms the central thread for this good episode. The intital scene does a stand-up job at tantalising us with the hook to keep us glued. It also provides enough mysterious circumstances to generate the expected red herrings, leads and dead ends, one would expect from a very good crime story.

The use of human cryogenic's has been done before in other shows, usually in a rather limp way. Yet it and the associated elements of the cryo-lab, are central to the entertaining nature of the story, especially stopping Alex's autopsy. Complicating matters even more, ambiguous clues add confusion to the unraveling screenplay, keeping the trail-map and suspect pool open throughout.

The strife driven side-plot of Calleigh's and Jake's blossoming relations adds a small and welcome element of character development. Dialogue is of better than average standard, though still not comparing to the other franchises. While locations and sets are a change from the usual L.A. stereotypical sets and city pans. Something that I welcome. Overall a slicker production than in previous episodes, not as good as the last episode, but definitely better than last season.moreless

The pretense of the script was believable enough. Especially in this day and age. I like the different angles for suspects. The obiturary writer, was amusing in her thought process, bizarre but amusing. The longtime mistress wanting assistance for her son was also pretty believable. As a whole the storyline of freezing people to bring the back later when cures are found is right out of the headlines. The issue of "personal" relationships being brought up at the lab was interesting enough. Especially the timing of it all. I think this will bring out the true colors or even true feelings for some.moreless

A very watchable episode and even opened the door for more conflict. The case was petty interesting not only did the guy get stabbed his cause of death was someone else yanking the knife out. The tension between Boa Vista and Ryan is still hot she still comes to the range but hate him whatever that's about. The idiot then throws out her shoulder shooting a shotgun to fast. This leads to Delko having to set her arm and IAB thinking they're fraternizing and this leads Delko to let slip Calligh and Coopers relationship. Cop is leaving so they had to set it up I guess. Horatio was doing some classic cheese but it fit perfectly I have to say I haven't seen that much shade placing and hip grabbing since season one. Good episode I had fun with it.moreless

An ok episode, spoiled by a lack of logic in the final act.

A plot contrivance allows two women to kill there lover. One does it for reasons Horatio can well understand after recent events i.e. loyalty to a son. The other does it for greed. But here's the kicker: An intelligent, resourceful women, who must have consulted a lawyer, gives away her motive for murder when pleading ignorance would have saved her from a murder charge. The man was 'half-killed' by having a knife thrust in his neck but removing the knife finished the job. Why say you KNEW removing the knife would kill him? Wouldn't it be more logical to argue you removed the knife to try to save him? And poor old Delco accidently breaks up Jake and Calleigh, bet he's gutted about that!moreless

- (after accidentally telling Stetler that Calleigh and Jake are dating Eric tries to call her, but only reaches her voice mail) Eric: Calleigh, hey. It's Delko. I think I might have just put you in a jam. Give me a call back when you get the message, all right? Edit
- (after witnessing Eric and Natalia 'hugging', but Eric was really putting her shoulder back into place) Rick Stetler: Delko. Eric: (chuckles) Stetler. What are you sniffing around about? Rick Stetler: Horatio's got me working to supersede a court order, reclaim your frozen football star's body. Eric: Working with us for a change. Rick Stetler: You are aware of the pending new rules regarding fraternization among officers, aren't you? Eric: You mean 'new' as in different after you and Yelena Salas? Rick Stetler: Things have changed. The county's caving to the state's pressure on the issue of sexual harassment litigation. Eric: You know, that's interesting. Rick Stetler: The department's redefining its policies on fraternization of officers. You would be best served sharing that with the others, in the lab. Eric: Listen, Stetler, if you have something to say to CSI Duquesne or Detective Berkeley, you'd best be served telling them yourself. Rick Stetler: Duquesne and Berkeley? I was talking about you and Boa Vista. But, thank you. Edit
- Jake: I can't work this case. Calleigh: Why? Jake: Because you're on it. Calleigh: (chuckles) What are you talking about? Jake: I've just been informed of pending changes in department policy. Calleigh: Are you saying that we can't work a crime scene together because we've been seeing each other? Jake: More like we can't work a crime scene because we may have a falling out and things get ugly and job performance may suffer. Calleigh: You sound like you're a firm believer. Jake: No. I just got Rick Stetler breathing down my neck. Calleigh: How's Rick Stetler know anything about us? Jake: I don't know. Listen, I think we should just take a step back. Let things cool down a little bit, okay? Calleigh: Okay. (walks away) Edit
