"Perfect"

By RockyBoc, May 03, 2009 Report Abuse

I loved this episode, it was funny, interesting and quite disgusting at the same time!
So basically an eyeball is dropped by a vulture out of the sky and into Stellas coffee, so cool, who ever thought of that idea deserves some serious credit. It was nice to see Adam out in the field again this time with Danny, his impression of a vulture was histerical, Adam is definitley the best comic charcter in any of the CSI shows, now that the writers have removed Gregs personality in CSI LV. The body was absolutely disgusting, and when the guys found the stomach in the nest, wow, really upped the gross level there. I kind of knew from the start who the evidence would point too but that took nothing away from this episode. Overall a very funny and cool case for the NY team, this show just gets better and better!!moreless

Ok...I loved that chapter!! I agree that there were a couple of lines that were too childish, like the horns thing, but I liked it!
I shouted at the tv that the brother did it and I even suspected that he wasn't her brother.. He was too tense...I dunno...
I absolutely loved the DL moment! it was SOOOO cute!! It really seemed like he does that a lot...
Adam making the bird was hilarious and all that scene with Danny was really good.
Flack interrogating Stella about the bird was funny too...

I really don't like Ella's storyline, but the end seems quite odd... Why does he care so much???

I'm the only one intrigued by how they put those horns on a head???moreless

This was the most disgusting corpse since the dead scuba diver in The Deep. I loved the underlying laugh track from the whole gang, even Mac. I really appreciated Stella playing devil's advocate offering Mac advice regarding the situation with Ella. I loved Adam finding a nanny cam in the clock, an ingenious way of finding a possible suspect. I don't believe tonight's episode was about the actual case but about our team and the dynamics within the team. I agree with Stella that Mac getting involved with Ella is a really bad idea. Overall, I found the case mediocre but the episode one of my favorites.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: Just after the opening credits, when Mac starts processing the eye, the same blonde woman walks past twice behind him. Edit
- Spoof: At the end of the scene when Danny and Adam are deciding how to get into the vulture's nests to collect evidence, Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) looks directly into the camera. Edit
- Lindsay: Sorry gotta pull rank, Adam. Unless CSIs are considered of higher rank than scientists, Lindsay is not of higher rank than Adam. Adam is the only one with a post graduate science degree (as learnt in relation with Stella's HIV storyline), making him a way higher qualified scientist than any of the CSIs, who have basic science training besides their police academy degree. However, Lindsay has been a CSI longer, which would give her seniority over Adam. Edit

- (About Quentin Oswego's horns) Flack: I say back to those buzzard vultures. You seen those things? I'm telling you, Mac. Mac: Well, find me one who can throw a punch and bury a body. Case closed. Edit
- (While looking for evidence in the vulture's nests) Danny: You are having as much fun as I am, now, buddy? Adam: Welcome to my world, Messer. The low man on the totem pole gets all the exciting stuff. Danny: Yeah! And what does that make me? Adam: Low-man-on-totem's-pole friend! Edit
- Stella: You can't save the world. Mac: Yeah... I said that once too many time... I guess I just, uh, need to hear it from you. (Stella smiles and walks out) Edit
