This week's House was probably the best hour of TV this season, but this CSI episode was probably the best 2-hours of TV this season. Perhaps Lost's 2-hour finale will be able to topple it next week, time will tell.

Hmmm we can only hope for Tarantino to work on Lost someday in the future.
There is plenty of space to bury somewhere alive there.

The kidnapper sent them an address.

MrX

As someone on this already mentioned 99% of this doesn't happen in a real lab.

You'd need atleast a B.S. in a natural science plus your looking at another 2-3 years of training depending on what area you're in.

I hate fire ants.

MrX

I agree

Loved the scene with David and the Doc cutting Nick open. The effects in the beginning from below the casket with the dire removed were cool as well.

Deftones

@ Red Dog for my comments about newbies not knowing what is going on. That last line of the show pretty much made my comments spot on.

The Autopsy scene was classic QT. I was waiting for something like that to pop up. Also gotta love all the cheese ball TV and movie references.

I think they should've made this a cliffhanger, and left him in the box until the beginning of next season. They could've played the 2nd part of the show and made that next season's premiere.

Overall, very good stuff.

Ranger

Did the bad guy set a timer for the fire ants to be released into the box?

Bronkster

I thought the ants were an unexpected surprise. They came in through cracks in the plastic after Nick shot the light out.

Ranger

Oh really? I thought the guy intentionally set the fire ants to be released. It didn't seem that far-fetched since the box was already rigged with explosives.

MrX

Maybe I missed it but was there any point to the scene with the Twin blondes who were shot in the beginning?

Deftones

Probably nothing more to set up the old switcheroo when Grissom shot the manequins.

This was not a TV show...but a movie. And it was awesome. I got really caught up with it!

Would like to see Q.T. do more show/movies for TV.

Tazwolff

I still have a few scars on my leg from 12 years ago.


I would have to say that this episode was the best 2 hours of TV this season.

The cast really stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and delivered. I was very impressed with this finale.

WillieTheShakes

I have mixed feelings. I thought it was strong overall, but there were some blatant fakeouts that added nothing to the mix (the blonde twins early on) or, worse, had me cringing in disbelief (the whole "We've found him/they're digging me out! oh, it's not him/so what was I just hearing?" passage -- I'm sorry, that was just bad, cheap, and stupid).

BigDave

The book Grissom used was written by an Aggie. I'm pretty sure my cousin is probably listed in the book somewhere too.

This was no doubt the best episode this year. QT did a great job. You could really see his styles show through at time. The Dukes of Hazzard board game. I loved playing that game as a kid.

I wonder if they put Eads in the coffin because of his hold out last year? Maybe a little payback. He did an amazing job with it though.

Gasspasser

I too really enjoyed this episode. Phan-tast-ik

Groucho

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I found this to be nothing special, just another CSI episode. You could've swapped out Tarantino with anybody as director.

Did you notice that the little fellow from Kill Bill was in this as the courier's lawyer? Kill Bill spoiler:

I wouldn't mind if they released this episode on dvd by itself.

Hell if they can release the finale of friends by itself surely they can release some thats actually good.

Holysmoker

I'd buy it too.

I thought it was a great episode. I was looking for the Tarantino influence from the moment it started. I could see it everywhere. From Nick singing in his SUV, to the dialogue between him and the cop. Warricks anecdote, the cowboy lawyer, the music on the cassette, and the scene where they were opening up Nick for the autopsy. I thought it was alot different from the norm. The cast came throught with a great performance. It's been a great season though even without this episode.

Red Dog

Very well done episode. I didn't think the dream sequence was necessary though. Seemed out of place for CSI, even though this is Tarantino's style.

Great to see Frank Gorshin one last time.

I must have that Dukes of Hazzard board game.

bigsoos

great episode, my wife was freaking out b/c she felt so bad for Nick. She's super claustrophobic.

Bandoman

I don't watch CSI that often, and I had no idea QT was directing, but I sat down about 20 minutes into the show and was riveted to my seat for the remainder. This was a fantastic episode, and now that I learn who wrote/directed it I can see why.

Geofferson

I sure did Buckaroo!
