I really enjoyed this ep. For the many reasons listed above, and it was a nice light ep. They were out of the usual crime sceme element and they were being themselves. Nick's accent, Grissom's wonderment, Brass and his out there one liners.
Also liked when Hodes admitted he cried at Brokeback Mtn. Either he liked the cinematophgory or he likes one of the actors. The more cowbell was funny as well, nice nod to SNL.
Nick and Greg working together was a nice touch. Wendy and the description to the guys was hilrious! Nick's glances at Greg when he was holding the namchine, priceless! They need to work together more often, interection is spot on!
Jewel and Ty were amazing I'm glad they got real people to play the parts of some of the people involved. No one knows how things run like the people who do it for a living.
The case was also one that wasn't normal, whic was good to see. The same kind of stuff over and over again makes for boring tv.
All in all I give this ep a 9/10. Too bad it's the last new one for a while, atleast it was on a nice note.
