Great review as usual, m'dear.
The Hannah Montana-esque character was interesting, but I think it was too obviously based on Hannah Montana. Maybe it's just me, but it's kind of annoying when TV shows have a character that is very clearly ~inspired~ by someone in real life (or in this case, another TV show) so that all they're lacking is the name.
Walter and Ryan's banter is awesome. And seeing Walter next to the reconstructed dress was kind of hilarious - it was so teeny! :lol: (Also, it reminded me how much I want to hug Walter, but maybe that's just me. *cough*
)
I'm very curious to see how things go with Jesse's personal storyline - I was glad to get some insight into what he's been hiding and why he's been acting the way he has since he joined the team. My guess is that, in true CSI fashion, the rest of the team will help him put the guy that killed his wife away for good - and bonding time will be had by all. Hopefully then he can settle into a more familiar spot on the team once that is behind him.
(BTW, knowing why he acted the way he did does explain why he stood Natalia up - or perhaps offers several options to explain why - but it was still a crap move. Bleh. I think he needs to do something to make up for that at some point...)
