CSI

[chenanceou]

Disappointing. To put it mildly.

Somebody explain this to me?

The Russian girl was the first one killed (4 days before), then the killer picked up the blond and killed her.
They found bed sores on the blond woman.
The blond had been taken 4 days ago - tops.
My question is: How can anybody get bed sores in 4 days?

While we are dealing with sloppy and trying to make sense: How did they find the house with the triangulation? Cool computer stuff and all, but the photo showed a street. Streets with many houses. Yet, they tore down the right house.

Which begs the question: Why was CSI the ones breaking down the door to a house that was supposed to have a dangerous serial killer inside?

Since when does CSI do more detective work than actual investigating cops?

I'm unclear on post stripping of all rights Patriot Act America - so can they take a DNA sample from somebody without a warrant or consent? Without a lawyer? Without any charges?

*sigh*

Why don't they get off their asses and write something worth Mr. Sinise's talent? His processing scene in the hospital with the surviving woman was heartfelt and really moving. It was a relief to see a scene that rang true and that made sense.

Alas, the last scene turned me off totally. 9/11. What a nice way to use a tragedy once again. It wasn't enough to say his wife died there, they had to show Ground Zero, just to make sure.

I resent it when shows insult my intelligence, but am used to it. What really bothers me here is that they displayed a staggering lack of logic in a franchise that should be about evidence and logic. It was as if they thought - why waste time thinking? Just write anything - it's CSI, they will gobble it up!

Hey, what do I know? It will probably have a long, profitable run.

Unlike the shows I like.

Hopefully it will get better. Like I mentioned, Gary Sinise is a favorite or mine and his intelligence, intensity and commitment should be rewarded with better material.
