CSI: Miami

I did enjoy this episode which is why I have given it a high rating. However, I did have my problems with it. The plot device of Brian Woods being implicated in the murder of a drug dealer is very old and has been used several times before on the CSI shows. Who did not think the episode would end with his innocence clearly proven? This is also a very sad episode because of the loss of one of the best characters on the show. Khandi Alexander was terrific as Dr. Alexx Woods. She will certainly be missed in Miami.

As a fan of Kandi I'm thrilled she was given the opportunity to say good bye. The character of ME Alex Woods has been on reason why I have kept returning. Her character has always been strong and compassionate bring a very human element to the show. I thought the story line was believable. The idea of CIs being used and in this case abused wasn't too far fetched, especially given that a corrupted agent took advantage of a position. But this was all about Alex and her willingness to put what is best for her family and herself. Her final scene allowed her to say good bye and thank you to her co workers as well as her fans. It was classy, just like her and Kandi. I will miss them both.

I found this episode to be rather below the line of average. Hardly acceptable, however the previous two parter was so good and so intense that i think they should get away with this.



The episode looks OK, however the storyline jumps a bit too much to my liking. how the jump from a stone to a Medical examiners house goes is a bit too much and it shows. Way too many hugs and goodbye's in the end. the sad note here is the departure of Khandi Alexander. Defenitely worth a tear or two as she has an immense amount of charisma. I feel that this will have an impact on the series. How much? Time will tell.



Too bad it this is such a average episode (very unusual in CSI Miami), i would have loved to see Khandi go out with a bang (not fatality wise).

This episode opens with speedboats out in the ocean. When one of them turns and he isn't on his speedboat any more. He is then found dead. Alex discovers that he died when something hit him. He was hit by a slab which was thrown from the bridge above him. They track down who bought the slab, and it turns out to be Alex's husband. When she goes to see Wolfe and see what is written on the slab, she quickly leaves and rings her husband. Alex's son Brian comes into the morgue and she asks him out right if he knows anything about the slab being taken. From him Alex learns that H has been to the house. He lets her that H picked something out of the grass and then left. She sends Brian home. The cigarette H found belonged to Trey. He is a friend of Brian's. Speed is recovered from the crime scene and Trey is asked about it. He denies that he knows anything about the drugs or the murder. Brain calls his mother and asks her to come and help, he is in a warehouse. When she gets there with her ME kit (strange), when she gets there she hears shouting and fighting when she finds Brain has stabbed Trey. He says he didn't do it and that Trey asked him to pull it out. She tries to help Trey whilst telling him not to die. She looks awful upset. Lucky she had her kit with her.

Eric asks how come she is there, when she mentions Brian they both go to see him. But he's gone. She begs Eric not to run the prints as everything will go wrong. So he says he'll run the blood first and then the print, so she can go and find him. Natalia and Eric run the DNA.

They get a codis hit of a Mary, who was on the speedboat earlier. The cops find Brian before his mother does and H is also there. Brian is found with a load of the speed pills on hi m from earlier. Alex and H interview Brian. Alex soon takes her son and tells H that they need a lawyer. Eric tests the plastic bag which the drugs were in for prints, Alex watches on. Alex goes to see Brain and begs him to tell H who gave him the drugs. He says he can't as he gave his word. Trey told him to get them and to dump them before Mary did.

Trey tells Callie that he got arrest a month ago and made a deal. He is working for one of the agents. H and Alex talk, he says that Brain will be realised into her custody today and she quits her job. We then see Alex doing her last autopsy and saying goodbye to everyone at CSI. Calliegh has tears in her eyes. No words ever needed just smiles and tears. What a beautiful way to send Alex off into the real world.

I will admit that this show has grown on me since day one - if only to see if Horatio ever speaks to somebody face-on. I felt the plot line in this episode was a stretch. It just seems too convenient that each character has had a family member or friend involved in a terrible incident, whether as a suspect or a victim. Earlier in this same season, Horatio's son was a suspect and now it's Alexx's son. To me, it feels like the show is running out of new ideas and is recycling older episodes, attempting to disguise them as something completely different.

Additionally, the attempts to make the show seem more cutting-edge and modern backfired, I was rather confused when Valera was analyzing evidence and the image kept splitting into rectangles and moving around. What was the point of that? This episode just supports my initial reaction to the show.

Oh, I really did like her. But to fair I need to admit that the way everything was handled wasn't bad. They intertwined it all with a murder case that had enough sense to be probable.

I see that it was Alexx's way of saying goodbye but I still want to see more Calleigh! She could participate in all that happened as well and I feel like after she's been kidnapped TPTB decided she had enough screen time and it's time for her to leeeave. Dumb!

One thing I can't believe -- how can you drop a stone (or something stone-like) from a bridge on a head of a guy driving a ski jet? I'd say it's almost impossible that the stone hits him and all the more kills him. Hm...

I have not seen the entire episode but I've seen bits and pieces. I will admit to this, I do not like CSI: Miami at all. I can not stand Haratio because he is so mono-tone and very annoying. The only reason I watched it was for Kate Moennig. Otherwise this show is mediorcre in comparison to CSI. I could go on and on and on and on about how much better CSI is but it's gone downhill also. Those idiots got rid of the best character, Sara Sidle. I do not watch CSI now that she is gone. I do love Kate Moennig and I love to watch her in roles very far from that of which she plays on The L Word. She's just awesome. Okay, I admit, if I give CSI: Miami a shot I would probably like it but I just can't take Haratio seriously. I know, my spelling sucks.

I will say that Alex was one of my favorite characters and that she was the conscience and voice of reason in the show. I will miss her a lot and that whoever replaces her, I think it will be a tough act to follow. As her son is accused of murder and attempted murder. The CSIs have to break protocol and try to clear him of the murders, in which they do. But Alex realizes that she needs to nurture her own children rather than the ones at the morgue. As she tells the last lifeless person that he is indeed her last ones! Glad that everybody came to hug her!

This year, it seems like mostly every show is losing a main character. Sadly, the curse has fallen on CSI Miami with the final farewell of Khandi Alexander aka ALexx Woods. Alexx was not my favorite character but I liked her and was sad to see her leave. The episode was good but not great. Honestly, if I didn't already know it, I never would have thought this was Alexx's last episode and even with her son being implicated in a murder, nothing really special happened. Still the episode was good and the final scene with everyone saying goodbye to Alexx as well as her final scene in the morgue. Goodbye Alexx and hope to see you again in the future!!

CSI Miami's crew needs to hire a new continuity person on set. Anyone else notice the sloppy work on this episode? The first time we see the jet ski, there isn't a drop of blood on it. The next time, it is covered in blood. Later, when they show us how the rider was hit by a rock, you clearly see there is no possible way for all that blood to be on the jet ski. The rider was hit on the top of the head, and thrown backwards off the jet ski, yet the blood is all over the seat and handles of the machine. Impossible! I'm also getting tired of every street being wet, like after a rain storm, when there was no rain, and the sky is clear and blue! I know, it looks better on TV, but CSI Miami seems to make an art out of every street being wet, 24x7! Since the strike ended, it seems the show has been hastily pulled together, and the end result is uninspired TV.

I hope this will not be the last episode that we could see Khandi Alexander as Dr. Alexx Woods in CSI:Miami. Anyway, thanks for not killing her character on air (like they killed Tim Speedle when Rory Cochrane wanted to leave the show in the 3rd season) This episode is a kind of well-written even though the storyline about the FED agent

gone bad part did not sound logical enough. But it was nice and very reasonable to make Alexx to quit the job because she should spend more time with her son after he was falsely arrested for murder.



We will miss you, Khandi!

This episode provided a convenient way for Alex to leave the show, but it was poorly written and filled with practical improbabilities and astonishingly unethical behavior by several members of the supposedly professional CSI staff -- even by the play-it-right-up-to-the-edge (and occasionally over-the-edge) LT Caine. Who could drop a piece of slate off a bridge onto a moving jet ski and hit/kill the operator -- certainly not that ding-dong! It was clear from early in the episode that Alex was "misbehaving" and she should recused herself if she is the professional we like to think her to be. Several CSI's saw what was happening and should've "taken her aside," and if that didn't work, theyshould've reported her. This is not the professional behavior that we think these CSI's exhibit. The writers missed the boat big time and the actors should've objected. Let's get back to real police work and practical forensics!

The episode itself isn't that special, but Alex left after her son being in the middle of a murderer and drugs investigation. She felt that she needed to take care of her kids before this will happen again. It was really great to see her on the screen all these years, so I just hope the next actor will be at least as good as her. We'll miss her for sure.

This episode shows quite well how hard it is to be between a friend and an oath. They had to do it, but friendship is really strong in this situations. We never want to be in this position. And of course in real life the end isn't always like this one.

This was a good episode. Knowing how close the crew is to each other I wasn't sure who was going to get into big trouble. But it was well written and everyone did their job, even though it involved one of their own. I really felt for Alex when she told Horatio to stop the interrogation and her son was getting an Attorney. She new H would do anything for the boy but at the same time new how the law works and her son would be charged. Really put her between a rock and a hard spot. They were all in the spot of wanting to protect Alex from that fear and pain. But as good as she is at her job she was just a good as a parent while explaining to her son the outcome of his life if he didn't talk to H. I didn't want to see anyone leave the show. And Alex brought so much more to the ME office. She gave that special tough to her clients, so to speak, and they became more than just a body in her morgue. I am going to really miss Alex but glad the door was left open for her to return. And they better not get rid of Calleigh next week. I like the ending when the guy at the top comes tumbling down.
