CSI: Miami - Double Jeopardy
This was a sensational episode. For whatever reason, after it was
over, I felt very satisfied, accomplished. Wow... I really just wrote that. Seriously though, it was very
good.
One thing I've noticed as of late, is that a majority of reader comments that I've received on past CSI: Miami reviews seem to share a common sentiment. People hate David Caruso and I can't understand why. So he's a poor actor. I can accept that but he still makes this show. I like his "I'm reading this directly off of a cue card" delivery for many of his lines. I think it adds to his character, the dryness of his attitude. At least he a has a character you can pick apart, unlike Gary Sinise's shadow of a man on CSI: NY.
Okay, back to this episode...
First off, did anyone else feel like this was a case that had already happened when the episode started? For some reason I felt like we had seen this case before and this was just a continuation of it. Oh and that idiot reporter is back... Erica? I think that was her name. She told Wolfe about the mole early on in the season and that's the only good thing she's ever done.
Back to this episode, I thought the story was really well done. The way they weaved in an unrelated case, which then turned out to be related in an extremely odd way, was fantastic. Essentially, a man had been accused of killing his wife but the body was never recovered. So the jerk got acquitted and then they found the body. Obviously it went downhill for him from there but in the end, it was his new wife that had killed the first. That caught me off guard. I honestly thought the guy was guilty the whole time.
It also seems that Wolfe and Horatio's plan to flush out the mole has been put on the back burner. Whatever the plan was, it involved Wolfe being a jack-ass to everyone but he seems to be acting friendly now. Someone in the comments last week made a good observation that Valera could be the mole since she was absent and attending some meeting at the State Department. Sooner or later, one of these episodes is gonna drop a huge bomb because so far they've been tight-lipped.
