This is what happens when George Eads is about to go off the show after 15 seasons and when CSI is in the grey line of dont be pick up for a 16 season. Finally an episode where Ted Danson can give us the best he can do like D.B. Russell be a joker, this episode give us like 2 or 3 scenes where he make jokes like in the old times, this make me remember the original train scene where he is in the ground acting like one of the bodys. This episode only have one CSI FX Shot but is ok, because finally they make an episode where the CSI expect until day to look at the scenes like is do in the real life, finally an episode that make some sense. Again this episode give us a really good screen time for George Eads like Nick and even better we get more time between all the cast, again the first episode in a while that put all the cast in one case working all together, not only Morgan/Greg/Hodges scenes, here is more balance thing. And again we get more about Sara i ask myself after George is gone she will be the next one? In case CSI gets a season 16. P.D: CSI have a serious hate with the step fathers and step mothers.
I agree about DB. I was talking with someone earlier today about that. He's not the same character as he was at first. He used to be a bit of a goofball, had such a unique way of looking at things that brought a freshness to the show, and seemed to have a normal home life (based on those weekly calls to his wife!). But they screwed him up too. They threw him into the soap opera drama and personal life chaos. Thrilling. I liked his scenes tonight with Sara about the comic books, and how he was with Nick at the end of "Let's Make a Deal". He can be a great character, but he needs great writers.
I think that this episode make me remember the old Grissom, i know Petersen was unique, but Grissom was so funny and bad-ass in his real and human way of be, like with Hodges he always stop Hodges when become such a pain in the ass. With Ray this didn't happen but with D.B.Russell he was such a funny a light character that follow his own way, but the writers make them such a "2D" character and really boring. But for me this episode bring back some real and human life to the character, with that moment with Hodges, Henry and Sara, how he fells like i have things to do you kow.
