'CSI', 'Miami' & 'New York' Review Round-Up

"Karl Cooper was the kind of killer that a scientist like Grissom could appreciate. He was so careful that he picked up his cigarette butts on his way to his first murder of the night. And if Ally Smith hadn't driven into him, he probably would have gotten away with Clayton Nash's murder."

"This show was reminiscent of the "X-Files" episode where the show "Cops" followed agents Mulder and Scully. A reality TV crew from "Hard Crimes" followed our CSIs this week. "Too many forensics shows on TV," Grissom grumped to the producer. The "CSI" writers definitely had some fun."

"The one thing I'm liking about this season is that they're successfully turning CSI: Miami into a serial and moving away from just a weekly procedural. But this week faltered a little. The storylines were dropped regarding the mole and Horatio's date with Marisol, but we did learn that Wolfe will probably lose his eyesight if he doesn't get surgery ASAP. I'm curious to see if Wolfe, though short-lived on the show, is on his way out because this storyline is starting to shape up like one that could do just that."

"Anyone else notice how Wolfe was being an absolute jack-ass to everyone? At first I couldn't figure it out because it seems like he's kind of been that way ever since taking the nail in the eye. I just figured he was starting to get rough around the edges since his eyesight is going. But then he was really rude to Calleigh in that one scene and at that point it was out of character."

In the episode "Double Jeopardy" a man is found not guilty of killing his wife, but Horatio is certain that the man did commit the crime. He needs to find new evidence to put him behind bars. You can read a full recap of the episode at CBS.com.

"I thought the story was really well done. The way they weaved in an unrelated case, which then turned out to be related in an extremely odd way, was fantastic. Essentially, a man had been accused of killing his wife but the body was never recovered. So the jerk got acquitted and then they found the body. Obviously it went downhill for him from there but in the end, it was his new wife that had killed the first. That caught me off guard. I honestly thought the guy was guilty the whole time."

"My big thing is backstory because I like to know where a character is coming from. After this episode, I finally figured out what the writers are doing. They book-end! They have a bunch of cases and a bunch of small backstory tidbits and rather than take the time to weave them together into a seamless episode, they simply bookend the two cases with the backstory at the beginning and end of the show making the cases and backstory completely independent of each other. There's a phrase for that. It's called being lazy."

"While forensic evidence is the focal point, l have enjoyed seeing the lives of the characters unfold. After Adien Burns (Vanessa Ferlito) was fired for evidence-tampering, it was a little unclear as to how much things would change in regards to the team. However, Lindsay Monroe has proven herself to be a welcome addition. Not only can she hold her own as a detective, she is adept at handling edgy Messer."
