I can only hope that CSI returns to its form from the first 3 seasons. Last season was pretty lame. Being further diluted with a 3rd one probably doesn't help.

Another season of cleavage shots with Marg...I'm SO there! 
Seriously though, I just hope the season isn't devoted to Sara's drinking problem...bad enough we had to spend a whole year with Gil going deaf back in Season Three.

OMG!!! Poor Marg is heartbroken. Spare us the melodrama in the lives of these characters already.
IMO, the motives behind these crimes, not to mention the conclusions they reach, are becoming less and less believable. This is almost like watching a fantasy.

The humor bits at the start and end of the episode fell somewhat flat, but at least they are trying some levity.
Loved how Shondra had the hots for Warrick, but kept her distance from Eads. So will Shondra be back or not?

The four stories didn't work for me. Way too much going on, far too little time to develop anything. And I sure as hell hope they didn't just use Reiko for this one episode, but it would appear as if that is the case. Here's hoping for her return.

I get the impression the real-world events surrounding this show had a huge effect on the script rewrite: the beginning had Greg out in the field and Reiko in the lab. Greg was going to be the replacement for Nick and Sara (since the actors were fired). The storyline for Nick and Sara was added in and the beginning was rewritten. By the end of the episode, Reiko is gone and Greg might very well be back in the lab.

You mean Greg. But yes, it was quite obvious. They should have just started over and re-written Reiko's part.

So were the actors for Nick and Sara really fired or did they decide to hire them back? Sorry. I don't follow this show that often, I just catch an ep. here and there.
Is it just me, or are the CSI series turning into refuges for 24 alums? Michelle is on CSI, Klaw-dia is on New York, maybe if they finally decide to waste Kim we'll see her in Miami!

Finally got around to watching this...
I loved the nod and wink when Sara and Nick showed up to their crime scene and made a comment about how they were late to work.

I really really liked the episode. I'm not much of a fan of the other CSI shows while NY is still to new to tell. Vegas still is my favorite of the group.
