Well we have a car chase that leads to a bridge where when it is raised there is a dead guy with his eyes shot out swinging from the gurders. Did I mention he was tied to the Mob. This leads us to college kids and their project. There is another Mob murder before it is all over with and one of the college kids is able to walk free because of no evidence. Ryan wrecks a vehicle and is told to see a doctor by Horatio and he has an infection that is really bad and is unable to work. He has no one to blame but hisself. I mean the coroner lady and Calleigh have both told him to do something about it.moreless

Interesting storyline, but... they did it earlier in the season.

"Fair"

By Ting13, Apr 10, 2010 Report Abuse

The basic storyline for this episode was pretty interesting, and there were some unexpected twists and turns along the way. I always prefer the episodes that have several suspects with good motive, so that you can't predict right off the bat who the killer is.

The big problem with this episode however is that they did the same thing a few weeks ago, in "Urban Hellraisers". That episode was about college students committing crimes as they appear on a video game, and the CSIs have to figure out what will happen next in the game. This time it was about college students committing crimes as they happen in a script, and the CSIs have to figure out what will happen next in the script. Far too similar to each other.moreless

"Abysmal"

By Milks23, Apr 10, 2010 Report Abuse

Every week it's the same thing over and over and over again with this show:

Horatio stands over the body, Horatio is the first on on the scene, Horatio uses his SO-CALLED street smarts to catch the murderer, while the rest of the team through a few scienctic evidence in.

Just cancel this show nad get on with it.

Evidence links a screen play to a series of murders. A couple robs a store and while they're arrested they notice a hanging. A man was shot in the eyes. Joker was shoved in his pockets. The bullet was found in the trunk and was therefore killed in there. The murder was a replica of an upcoming screen play. The club owner's gun was found and it was a 9 mil. They killed the "snitch" the snitch was cuz. The mob guy killed Cuz b/c he was a snitch. The real organizer had to be let go b/c they had no evidence on him.moreless
