CSI "Gum Drops" 10-20-05
Nick takes the lead on a case where in the house a family of four, three pools of blood are found. Nick thinks that the little girl may still be alive, but Sara is doubtful, thinking that Nick's recent near-death experience is affecting his judgement.

Did not car for this episode a whole lot, I would have liked it more if the little girl would have been dead. It seemed to Hollywood ending with her making it through 2 days on a lake with her throat sliced.

Yeah I dind't care for it too much. For some reason, I've been kinda BLAH about this whole season of the vegas CSI so far. Maybe I've just been overcome by Miami's orange glow.

yeah, that is one beef i had with the episode, that the girl was still alive. seemed pretty implausible. but that was really only the last 5 minutes, so i still say great episode.

I'm trying to catch up on CSI... just finished season 2. At what point between then and now did Nick start hearing voices in his head, and the series changed from being science to being "psychic detectives"? Don't get me wrong, I liked the ep, but the whole "I hear the dead" was a bad idea.

I never had the thought that Nick was "hearing things".

yeah, i never took it as nick hearing things either. when she starts explaining things at the end, it matches what we heard at beginning of the episode. It was just a stylistic choice.

absolutely. I wish they would really do this much more often than they do.

I really thought this was one of the best episodes I've seen. I liked the stying of the show, the pacing, and the fact that it focused on one case. Excellent all around to me.

Great ep. Nice to see less of Gris and Kath for a bit. Nick was solid, and got to be the lead and focus for the show. I agree the girl being alive was a little implausible, but it tied up nicely at the end with her beginning her store again, which is how the ep started out. Best ep this season so far..

I thought it was a great episode. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the guy chickened out on the throat slitting and tossed her overboard. It looked like the little girl's throat was only nicked, not really cut.

I just watched this last night - I liked it but here is my RANT:
1) With 3 dead bodies on the boat - you would think that the CSI team would find traces of blood all over it. We have seen in the past that bleach and water do not remove blood traces.
2) In the house - we do not see drag marks through the pools of blood. It looks like the bodies were levitated out of the house. There should have been drag marks, a mess of blood all swirled on the ground - where they put the bodies into garbage bags.
They make these high school kids look like the most organized, undetectable murderers ever
