'Sobell' has posted her 14-page recap of CSI's "Inside The Box" at Television Without Pity. Here's how the article starts:
Day breaks over Las Vegas -- sunny, cloudless, devoid of any portents of doom. Who will buy this beautiful morning? Such a day I never did see. Who will tie it up with a ribbon and put it in a box for Gil? I mean, that's what the title of the episode refers to, right? Gil's fabulously sunny day?

The episode was given a B minus grade in the full recap.
CSI Miami's 75-minute final episode didn't rate as high with Sobell, who gave "Body Count" a C minus grade. Her "recaplet" described the episode as a "season finale that makes us grateful the TV season is only nine months long".
UK's Channel Five is currently developing a police series which is being promoted as a British version of CSI, according to The Guardian.
Scott Collins at MSNBC said CSI: Miami was one of the few new scripted series which took off in a season dominated by reality television.
