CSI: Miami

A prop plane crashes into a Miami Beach. They were smuggling something. The pilot covered up the registration number. He was hiding something. Someone sabotaged the tank. The planes' man was killed by carbon monoxide. Another man was with the victims wife having an affair. Wendy told him to turn the radio off b/c her husband was talking. One of the speakers in their house was a camera. The drill bit makes a very distinctive hole and his neighbor was killed by the same one. A woman did the whole equation for a new engine. Adam took the patent and she took his life. She almost got away.

But it is an average episode. It's fun to watch and it does the usual CSI thing of the obvious suspect not being the culprit, but there's something just a little unexciting about the whole thing, despite the very promising beginning.



So basically a plane crashes on the beach - good effect. I was surprised the people weren't running before the lifeguard's whistle. They were all looking horror-struck and it was obvious what was going to happen. I'd have been off that beach like an Olympic sprinter. Anyway, plane crashes and the trail leads to a business partner with possibly nefarious motives and a community with enough affairs going on to populate a soap opera for a good few episodes. I think the reason this one didn't do it for me that much is because it feels a little more like a soap than a CSI.



So we have affairs, hidden video cameras, murder, possible smuggling, forumlas and equations - but the sum of the parts is a little disappointing.



Good to see Annabeth Gish here though - never knew why she didn't become a bigger star. And dear Susan Misner too - I think she's trying singlehandedly to work her way through every cop show on TV! She seems to be in everything! Not complaining, she's a good actress.



So, much like Knots Landing, the soap on which the show's title was based, some good acting, and interesting enough script, but nothing really special.

Not one of the best episodes but still interesting enough.



A small plane crashes on the beach, the pilot is dead. The team investigate & discover that the pilot may have died before the plane crashed and that he may have been involed with drugs.



When Horatio & his team investigate further & question the victims wife & neighbours they find that one of his neighbours has hidden cameras in several bedrooms & has a bookcase full of tapes . Those tapes help them to find the murderer.



Only one thing I didn't find very realistic was Horatio outrunning the plane on the runway.

The opening scence to this episode is the best part of the show. It starts out with a beach full of people doing what a beach full of people do. Slowly a few people look up in the sky and notice a plan heading right for them. Panic sets in and the plane crashes into the sand. With an opening like that, there is nowhere to go but down.



The story centers on people whose backyard is an airfield. I really like when these shows do something specific to their location. In this case, though, the airpark community acted like the guys and gals of Knots Landing. The usual suspects show up and eventually the killer is revealed. However, there is not a redeemable character in the lot, and even the so called victim was dealing drugs.



The acting of the main characters is spot on and they sell the story well. The climax leaves a little to be desired. (A car outruns a plane down a runway, how realistic is that?) All in all, it was not a bad show. It just never lived up to the promise of the opening sequence.
