  • Why was Eric Delko even there?

    "Fair"
    By tedew, Nov 23, 2010
    This episode made no sense to me at all. Why was Eric Delka back in a capacity that I have never noticed before? He was a guest here and there seemed to be no setup for a return. A former lead character in this capacity full time would just be too annoying.

    There was no real friction that went anywhere at all. Just a bit from the always troubled Ryan Wolfe and of course something from the always annoying Frank Tripp. CSI Tripp is someone who should really get back onto his meds; he is always just so mad at everyone.

    Well at least this episode did give new meaning to that famous movie quote "you complete me"!moreless

    Really interesting episode, given that we see a slightly different angle on things with Delko turning up as a Forensics expert for the defence of the lead suspect. The suspect was chased from the scene at the beginning of the episode by Calleigh and Ryan. He is proved innocent after the team find evidence that the victim was raped and the suspect has a medical condition that prevents him from having sex. The team then start to look for similar cases and link it to another attack in another county. The attacker has the weird fetish of wanting the victim to cook him breakfast of scrambled eggs before killing his victim with a knife. The attack in another county was unsuccessful with the murder part due to someone turning up at the door at the vital moment, saving the victim. This gives the team vital information when they question her and leads them to a key discovery and an interesting twist at the end.moreless

    I like how this particular episode managed to take an old formula and steer it in a new direction. I will admit it had me fooled. I was certain the homeless man was innocent because all the cliches were there. Horatio and the team were convinced he was guilty and his prospects for acquittal were slim to none. However the plot twists along the way certainly helped to keep this episode interesting and entertaining. The unexpected discovery made about the accused will certainly make this episode stick out in your mind for a while. "CSI: Miami" once again delivers entertainment.moreless

  • Is it me or the writing has gone downhill?

    By oilfriedghost, Nov 22, 2010
    Is there really a point in Delko's return? And so soon? Why bother leaving to being with?

    The scene I found the most ridiculous is when the laptop was being accessed by the rapist, from within a secure police location. Um, hello? Firewall anyone? Or maybe all of their computers are connected to the local Internet cafe. Argh!

    The writing for this series has seriously gone downhill. The stores are no longer believable and far fetched at best. They used to have great storelines, H always pleases with a corny opening liner. Is he too good for that now? I want the corny H back! Oh, and how about the old writers too?moreless

    • Featured Music: Freedom by Akon Gluetooth by Hudson Mohawke Sober by The Resistors

    • Goof: Dave says to Jesse: "The RAM on a computer keeps a volatile record of every action taken and every communication made." Actually, RAM is where a computer stores any programs or other data that is currently in use. Because RAM is volatile, when you turn your computer off, the RAM is erased. So Dave could not have used RAM to find any useful information.

    • Calleigh: What are you going to do, go back to Puerto Rico? Eric: You know, I love it there, but, uh, I missed Miami. Calleigh: Miami missed you.

    • Ryan: Hey, Delko, want to come over and take a picture of me doing this? Make sure I'm doing it right? Eric: It's not about you making mistakes, Wolfe. It's about how I interpret what you find. Horatio: Mr. Wolfe, Eric has every right to be here. We have nothing to hide. Ryan: Yeah, but H, while he's watching us, who's watching him? Eric: That's really funny.

    • Eric: Look, I know I don't have to say it, but, uh, thanks for all the calls. Horatio: You're still family, Eric.

    • Calleigh: There's our expert witness. Eric: I'm sure you heard Tripp thinks I went over to the dark side. Calleigh: What do you think? Eric: I didn't go looking for the job; Villani got my name off a list of former CSIs. Calleigh: But you said yes. Eric: Seemed like a good chance to help people.
