^ Those are old threads for old episodes- s1-4 episodes still air, and people still might want to talk about them. The mods actually thought it was a good idea and approved it. Thanks for the idea though,

I'll start off. This is from 'Hard Time' which was from s2
Basic story- former rape victim found with blunt force trauma, still alive after at least 72 hours (kept alive by maggots, what else?) and the CSIs play it as a murder. Horatio goes to south Georgia because he thinks her accused rapist, who is set to stand for parol soon and her testify would keep him behind bars, and is there in prison, is responsible. He is found to have blackmailed one of the security gaurds into killing her, and having his girlfriend lead her to the place where she was attacked.
In the end, she lives, and her rapist- Mason Shaw, is denied parol and arrested for attempted murder.
Horatio was great in this episode- he was his old self, something we aren't used to anymore, (I miss s2!) where he was saving someone's life, and comforting her- he told her she'd make it, and the doctor told him 'sometimes just saying it can make it so.' I loved watching DC work his magic, he was brilliant.
Speed was amazing as well- he had to comfront the son of Shaw, and interrogate him- eventually the son confessed to having given his father money when he visited, and realizing that his father had indeed raped someone- it was a huge realization, and Speed was great to watch as he watched this. He also had some great lab scenes (did I mention he looks great in a labcoat and dress shirt? Cause he does) and really made a break in the case.
Calleigh and Eric were great as well, Calleigh made some breaks in the case (it reminded me of 'Rio' because they had to get evidence over the phone) and Eric ended up coming up to Georgia with Tyler (I really miss Tyler, he was great and really cracked the case when he found out that the victim's cell phone jam while she was trying to call 911 was because of one of the security gaurd's hearing aids- of course with H's brains) and resolving the case.
Everyone was great in this episode (and everyone looked really good, as usual) and we got some old H- at the end he visited the victim (I'm so sorry I forgot her name) in the hosiptal, he was sweet and sympathetic. She told him 'I'm scared' and he was saying 'I know.' He was, as usual, amazing, and it really made me miss the old H we all know and love. TPTB- I hope you know what we're thinking!
H also had some great facial expressions going on here- surprised, happy (he smiled a lot, but sometimes it was that smile he gives suspects) sad- David Caruso, thank you for your acting skills. We (at least I) love it!
That's my little review. Feel free to post about this ep, or a new review.
Hope this thread does well, and at least survives.
Thanks again
