A bit of a break from the recent gloom and intensity- this was actually a lighthearted, even funny episode.

But I can't stand to look at Ecklie. Ick.

Yeah, pretty good episode tonight. Some funny comedic relief with the missing corpse.

I think they could have done a better job on next week's preview.

Next week's is the season finale, right? If so, they should have at least mentioned QT's involvement with it.

The scene with the Det. and Doc Robbins going over the guys stuff was hilarious.
Grissom giving Echlie shit outside the courthouse was great too.

Another solid episode. Seems like the second half of the season has blown away the lackluster first half.

They certainly seem to be pushing the main characters a bit more in the background and the 2nd tier into the foreground the last few weeks.

In the promo aired here in Canada, they did mentioned that the season finale was directed by QT.

Loved the dry ice case. The Weekend at Bernie's gang was pretty funny too.

Yet another The Wire alum guesting in a notable show.

Just so nobody gets any funny ideas like last summer.

Add my praise for the Eckley plot. I like the way they're fstill eaturing all of the characters without cramming them all into each episode. Two or 3 have primary roles in a given episode and while we still see the other CSI's, it's usually only for a min or two.

No pet duck this time.

At least we didn't have to listen to references to the size of his manhood, though.

As well as a return for our "Freak" of the lab, Niel.

i liked this episode a lot, lots of funny parts

who from this episode was from the wire? i love the wire, but didnt recognize anyone from this episode?

also i looked up this eps on tvtome and looks like the RA at the dorms in this episode was the same actress that played jane saunders on 24 last year

The student next door was Ziggy from season two.

^ ohhhhh yeah i forgot about season 2 since it wasnt as good as season 1 and 3

The only thing about the dry ice is that there would be residue all over the dorm room, dry ice does not evaporate completely when you are dealing with any kind of volume.

I don't know about the CBS promo (stupid canadian networks ALWAYS cut in to the original american broadcasts) but the CTV promo also spoiled one of the major plot lines relating to the episode's title.

Thank you! I knew I recognized him from somehwere. I've been noticing the cast of The Wire showing up everywhere as well, but It didn't click to me that was Ziggy.
