    :)In addition to being a "#1 tourist attraction", Christ the Redeemer is a religious experience for Catholics (like Mecca, Wailing Wall, Vatican, etc.). Of course, now it's also one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

    :confused:Horatio, being a spiritual if not particularly religious man, would be inclined to do exactly as was shown; much as most Catholics would go to St. Peter's Basilica in The Vatican or St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC. And, as shown in previous episodes, he is or was Catholic and apparently still adheres to some of the traditions, i.e., "From the Grave".

    :confused:, He was at the foot of CHRIST THE REDEEMER, after all; it seemed a fairly basic interpretation to me. And the film footage was spectacular.

    :lol: :lol:IMO, that was the most compelling scene in all of Season 5 while most the balance of the season stretched the credibility factor to its limits, with maybe the exception of Eric's injury.

    I too found that scene hypocritcal and very contrived. Remove H from it, and it would have worked perfectly well. Just another of Miami's 'ponderous superficialities' to quote some great reviews I've been reading lately. ;)

    :confused: :confused:Don't mean to belabor the point, but I can't imagine ANYONE visiting Rio for the first time who wouldn't make the trek to CHRIST THE REDEEMER as very nearly their first stop.

    I agree it is a ‘must see’ tourist attraction. Absolutely stunning infact. What I didn’t like was the presumed symbolism behind H crouching beneath the statue, for reasons given.

    I too agree that this 'Rio' opening scene was too over the top and don`t work for me at all , sorry. I can accept that H had respect for the Christ figure and takes inspiration from his faith , but his faith suddenly becoming too rush and ridiculous theme in S4 & 5, and for me this only make him look more like a martyr for the cause. blahh After all the guy go on revenge mission. Coz fo this there is no need to be involve Christ statue so direct. If they was show some pics of it ok, but H kneeling by Rio's famous statue make me think only a) tying up his shoelace, b) looking for his contact lens or c) just looking very cool.

    How would you have felt about the scene if Horatio hadn't been praying? How about if they had him either looking at the the scene below or just looking up at the statue.

    Well in my opinion the irony about that scene was that he was going to commit a sin and he was standing in front of a statue of God. Yes it was to seek revenge for Marisol's killer but he didn't have to do it that way. He probably just wanted to have the last laugh.

    She didn't get shot in the leg. It was 'Recoil' not sure about the episode number. It was a vial of blood that Ryan had and he was so suprised by the shot that he broke that vial glass and then the blood got on Calleigh. Hopefully someone can explain it to you better.

    csi_miami_roks, if it is the one I think it is, and it happens outside a courthouse, it is from Recoil (season 3, episode 21). You can read about it in the episode guide of this board (see links at the top of any page here). Just keep in mind that anybody who hurts those beautiful legs deserves the death penalty.
