*sigh*
Slightly inaccurate info follows:
Those of you with Wishlists/Season Passes for CSI on your DVR, and whose DVR will NOT record episodes with the same title that repeat within some pre-set limit (i.e. 28 days) may want to check things.
Because the "baseball game" change was last second when they switched to the rerun episode, most folks' "guide data" still showed the name of the show airing tonight. This might trick your DVR into thinking that it already recorded tonight's episode entitled "Invisible Evidence" when in fact it recorded a rerun (the one where there was an explosion in the lab, IIRC).
Primarily, this affects Direct TV DVRs powered by TiVo (standalone TiVo units were reportedly told to 'reset' the 28 day clock and still get tonight's episode).
Those of you with dumber DVR/PVR units, VCRs, or DVR units set to record the day/time/channel manually should also not be affected.

Good episode.
The 24 hour deadline gave the show more tension and drama that it usually doesn't have.
I'm glad they didn't just find more evidence against the guy they already had in custody and found the other guy that framed him instead.

Good episode.
Nice to see Xander Berkley as the new Sheriff. He looks pretty good for a guy who had radiation poisoning and flew a plane with a nuke into a mountain.

Overall, an okay episode, but it was good to see some fire in these CSIs for a change.
So Xander Berkeley is the new sheriff in town.
When will they reveal who gets the promotion? Watch it be Warrick.

So who has more sexual tension-- Grissom & Sara? Or Katherine & Warrick?
I still find it interesting that the obvious romantic pairing would have been Grissom & Katherine since they are closer and age and both the male & female leads of the show.
While the Grissom & Sara angle has been more obvious & spoken, has anyone else noticed the chemistry between Katherine & Warrick? They seem to have a lot of good scenes together.

I've noticed the lack of lighting in a lot of shows lately, particularly CSI and The West Wing. Very strange.
I liked how they 'expanded' the car after it was crushed (and the music in the background).

I know I have heard it before
I think it ended with .... "she's my sister."

"Love Spreads" by The Stone Roses (although I think it was a re-mix)

They didn't check the wax, the didn't look anywhere but the bedroom for the condom, they didn't look at anything else in the car except for the knife? Seems like they deserved to get blindsided because they didn't do their jobs in the first place. Also, shouldn't the prosecutor know that a warrant wasn't requested for the search of the car?

Yeah I thought about this too. The defense atty would filed a motion to exclude the knife because of the lack of a warrant. This would not have happened on the stand.

I know, but generally motions to supress evidence are held in a separate hearing or even in the judges chambers.

This episode was full of some pretty bad inaccuracies.
The courtroom scenes were great examples of how not to testify - although most TV show courtroom scenes are. But Warrick was testifying to all sorts of things that he didn't do (like conducting the DNA testing - saying it was a "match" - another thing that is never done in court).
But the worst thing was the fact that apparently Warrick searched the blood from the knife he found in the car through CODIS and it hit on Catherine's case with the dead woman. Well, DNA profiles from victims of crimes are not in CODIS - it is illegal to put them in the data base. So there is no way the two crimes could have been linked through CODIS.
I guess I'm just being way too nit-picky on the details but when the entire premise is flawed it makes watching the show difficult.
