Okay, I have to say, that is probably my favorite episode of the season. It may not have had much Greg (which is usually how I judge and episode) but they made the most of the time that they had each character on. This was definately this year's Rashomama. It made me laugh just as much, if not more. The rat scenes were so funny, I would think Doc Robbins would be used to rats, dealing with dead bodies, but apparently not... (Personally, I thought the rat was cute and couldn't see why they wanted to kill it. But I also have two pet mice, so of course I would think the rat was cute.) Sara was also great with the few moments she had, as was Greg.
Hodges was EXCELLENT. I absolutely loved the "Day-In-The-Life-Of-Hodges" bit, and his little skip. He was so great. And he finally got Grissom's approval. I had no idea that Wendy didn't like Hodges that much, though. Everyone else seemed to tolerate him, but she downright disliked him. I really hope the bleach will end up being important. Hodges would feel so good if it was.
I admit, it did feel like a clip show at times, but it was meant to catch people up on the season, and it definately did without repeating more than was necessary. And Hodges walking around the miniature towards the end was great.
But what did make me angry was that my local station cut right into the middle! After the half-hour mark commercials, they cut right into the episode to give us a news update about our governor. I mean, they already had the scroll running on the bottom! Why did they have to cut in the middle? I'm not watching that local station anymore, cutting into my shows...
But excellent, excellent episode!
