CSI: MIAMI "Spring Break" (4/28/03)....


I enjoyed the episode. A couple of points:

1-The girls broken neck was really creepy looking.

2-I thought the rapist/murderer was the guy who ran the Tequila promotion. His company could have been traveling to each of the spring break areas.

3-Emily Procter is hot.



Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Along those lines, I thought that the writers had the CSI characters taking the moral high ground, especially regarding the exploitation of the young hard-bodies, who were on Spring break.

All the while cutting their cleavage shots with naked thigh shots (not that there is anything wrong with that)

But somehow the way the episode was shot was almost a parody of the speeches made by the cops.

Lew,

I understand what you are saying. But, I don't think the writers were trying to say that the kids on spring break are doing anything wrong. But, sometimes they have to learn their are consequences when things get to far.

No they were not Todd—and neither was I. The writer’s were indeed commenting on those exploiting their activities, following them with their cameras and pushing tequila. That was where the moral judgments were being made.

I’m only sorry that I’m past those kinds of activities. It may have been mindless, but it was great fun.

Horatio just rubs me the wrong way. Everything out of his mouth is so smug, like saying broken-neck girl's crime scene was on the beach because there were no drag marks in the sand. My wife and I looked at each other and said, "Uh, she could've been carried."

Other than that, the episode was okay.

I hear you Nathan. I usually get so damn mad at Horatio that I never see the endings of the show. Both my wife and I are big fans of the original CSI and I keep trying to watch CSI-Miami, but everytime Horatio drives me away. Too bad because the rest of the cast is really pretty good.

Lew,

We can agree on that. I missed those college days. Yet, as a father of two girls. I dread the day they want to go on those trips.

You guys should read the recaps over at Television Without Pity. The recapper for CSI:Miami is just as tired of Horatio's smug attitude. She also happens to recap the original CSI. The whole site is pretty entertaining, actually.

I didn't care for the part when they confronted the kids while playing video games in their hotel room. The guy (sorry, I'm new to the show and don't know the names or actors names yet) just kinda blurted out, "Your friend is dead!". The kids reactions were such that you could only conclude they already knew that, because not one of them acted surprised or upset, for that matter.

Me too. The original CSI is one of my favorite shows and I love all of the cast. I keep trying to like CSI-Miami but I really don't like Horatio and he ruins the whole show for me. I don't think I'll be watching it anymore.
