    The Beginning:
    The guy gets shot randomly in the elevator. Not a very original beginning, though it was a bit funny what are those two doing. It looks like a random encounter. The Cases:
    A case: This case was great, from the guy who slept with the girl who was way too young for him to the father who said he tried to be a good role model when he himself had a young wife. And yet he complained about her having Kinsey as a boyfriend. The killer in this turned out to be something crazy. And his weapon. But you felt bad for him in the end. After all she was stuck up and she was really b****y to him. Poor guy.

    B case: The poor guy who acted like someone else. And the punks who caused him to have an allergic reaction. There was the girl who chose her friends over him by inaction. And the friend who had no idea what he was up to. It was a good story, but very sad to see the ending. Again, a case with the elite thinking they are above rules and they can do anything. Both cases were actually about that, thinking of it now.

    Favorite Scene:
    Had to be when the girl at the bar says "you aren't going to tell anyone this are you? His wife knows my mother" It was funny and disturbing at the same time. Great

    Overall:
    This was a good episode. I mean again we have the elite acting like they know better, but most CSIs do that. What I loved the most about this episode was the actor who portrayed the parking attendant. He did a really good job. His last scene was amazing. Stellar performance.moreless

    Jason Kinsey and a girl are standing in the lobby waiting for an elevator, once they get in the man grabs the woman and they start making out intensely in the elevator. Once the elevator doors open, a gun blast hits the man dead in his chest killing him instantly. The girl screams. Jason Kinsley lived in the penthouse of the 25th floor. Bonasera notices heel patterns and mentioned that it's not a woman's M.O. to commit a crime like this. Now they want to find her for questioning. The doorman happened to be outside hailing a cab and not at his desk at the time they boarded the elevator. They notice his belts undone and he has chop sticks in his pocket.moreless

    As shocking as some may think the whole concept of older men and much younger women or in this case girls. The approach was a novel one but I think it's been over done. Jason Kinsey was just a dirty old man no different from Brad Dobson. What was interesting about this case was the steering lock being used as the murder weapon. The fact that Melanie Dobson's snub of Mike Adams due to her being a spoiled brat caused Mike to seek revenge. By pure dumb luck Melanie escaped unharmed. The case Stella & Hawkes had a little more depth but also had some of the same tones. Alex Weston just wanted revenge on some spoiled brats who don't aren't aware of a world outside of their own.moreless

    Some spoilers!

    I liked this ep, from all the CSI's, NY is my least favorite, but it also is the one with the most morals in the story line.

    This episode was all about wanting to be somebody...
    The unsuccessful actor who's trying hard to fit in with the rich guys and the car boy trying to get approval from the sexy girl in the bar...

    I liked it how the stories had more in common than the characters realise.

    And the unusual weapon, a home made gun!
    I thought that was very clever! I never would have come up with that! a steering lock... amazing!moreless

    • Hawkes: Some vegetables, some seafood, lobster of some kind, probably in a soup. Stella: Lobster. There's no sign of strangulation on our vic, yet he died from asphyxiation. Allergic reaction? Hawkes: Exactly what I was thinking. He only ate about ten minutes before he died. Stella: Hmm. I thought you only got to choose your last meal on death row. Hawkes: Guy didn't know it was his last meal. Stella: Lest the allergic reaction. Edit

    • Witness: (To Stella) Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. This is the title of a song by Rise Against, and it's also similar to a quote from Mark Twain, who once said: The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated, after his obituary was mistakenly published. Edit
    • Nabokov's, the bar where men meet young girls, is named after Vladimir Nabokov, whose controversial novel Lolita details a middle-aged man's attraction to a pre-pubescent girl. Edit
    • Flack: Mr. Kinsey was being all that he could be. "Be all you can be" used to be a recruiting slogan for the United States Army. This same line is alluded in Season 4 Episode 5 Down the Rabbit Hole when Adam is creating the female avatar for Mac in Second Life. Edit
