I watched last night's CSI:Miami tonight, and found the casefile chaotic. I like a nice complex one, but it was sort of jerky, lurching from conclusion to conclusion, and with a few obvious leaps and holes. Like, Horatio, if you see blood on the wall and furniture of a woman's house, aren't you--as a public servant and a compassionate man--just about OBLIGED to check the building to see if she's still there and in need of help? And that goes for you too, Tripp.

Okay, maybe he did, but it sure didn't look like it. I still think Calleigh wears too much makeup but I could watch the woman for the entire show just for the aesthetics of her.

I do wonder, though, if only the rich and beautiful get into trouble in Vegas. Well, "beautiful" for prime-time TV values of beautiful. Honestly, when's the last time CSI:M showed a home that wasn't something out of a designer magazine? It makes me suspect that the Florida Housing Board has a stake in the show or some such. (No, I have no idea if such an organization actually exists.) And nobody ugly, or even nicely normal, ever seems to get involved in anything. Seriously, there have to be a few somewhere there, even if Miami is a haven for fluffy people. I can understand the desire to make the show attractive to the viewers, but bikinis ad nauseum does get a little tiresome.

Besides, parity would be nice. Like guys in Speedos, for instance. If the women are going to show off that much, the men should too. Never mind that I think Speedos only belong on competitive water athletes--there's such a thing as equal time.

Oh well. It would be fun to do a Ghost Whisperer/CSI:M crossover, just to watch the universe implode...

-for a split second there I thought you were serious, and that brought me quickliy out of a slumber. And thank goodness for that, I haven't had nightmares in years.

No really - I see what you are saying;)

I have to agree with you on this episode. I like complex case files too - but this one was so chaotic and full of holes that it had me shaking my head in disbelief and LMAO at the same time. For instance - the body they found in the lake that had been filled? Absolutely.No.Way. The old lake was way too big to go over it foot by foot and find a body so quickly. The body was practically intact - after what had to be months to years after the crime (in a very humid and hot environment that would speed up decomposition, not slow it). And as a Floridian, I have to say that not too many bodies last in the waters around here in the first place - too many alligators to eat them! Oh, I could go on and on.

You had me ROTFLMAO with that one - universe implode indeed! ;P

Oops, just noticed I typed "Vegas" instead of "Miami".

That was not a stellar episode! And I can't get over their lab, either--WHERE do they get the money for that?? It's a public outfit, and since when do they have money to even get new equipment?
