CSI: Leapin' Lizards

by Jonathan Toomey, posted May 4th 2007 11:02AM

George Eads as Nick Stokes on CSI.(S07E22) Another one-shot episode and a crazy one at that. Fortunately we got some little hints as to what may be in store for everyone as the season winds down.

The main case as I said was a bit crazy. Believers of some kooky reptilian race were behind the conspiracy and murder of a Las Vegas black-jack dealer who they apparently thought was some kind of hostile lizard queen. Hmm... there's a sentence you don't find yourself typing out every day.

Ally Sheedy (she looked terrible!) was featured in many of the interrogation scenes. She played the woman with the sword who slayed the aforementioned hostile lizard queen. This sounds hilarious now that I'm writing about it by the way. It was just an all-over-the-place plot from the aliens, to the hallucinations, to the mounted woman's head and the pigs that ate her body. I suppose it's stuff of that nature that keeps you glued to an episode of CSI.

As far as our main characters go, we got some very interesting developments which has me excited for the conclusion of the Miniature Killer plot. Before I jump to that, let's talk about Warrick. I feel bad for the guy. I feel like he's barely been in this season at all and now we find out that his wife Tina is having issues with the hours he works. So his marriage is going downhill. If it does fall apart, it'd be interesting if they tried to explore his gambling addiction again.

Back to the good stuff. Way back when Grissom was on sabbatical in MA, he wrote that love letter to Sara. We were led to believe he mailed it. He didn't and Sara found it tucked in a book near Gil's nightstand. She read it, smirked a little, and then her face was almost drained of any emotion. She looked downright creepy, almost as if she was thinking about how she has this guy wrapped around her finger and he has no idea. That one scene wasn't much, but my theory on Sara being the Miniature Killer is back on.

rating 4Speaking of that, how about Grissom making his own replica (of what?) at the end of episode? It's like he's trying to get into the mind of his adversary. Hopefully he finds out something good, because if it wasn't for little things like that and the previously mentioned scene with Sara, I would have rated this episode lower than a 4.

Tuned in for the first time in a while.

The show is a cynical gorefest.

And America is fast becoming a nation of gleeful ghouls.

Regarding CSI Miami: I am thinking Wolfe was working on a Feds undercover case when he was busted handing money to the bookie. Back next season or maybe for the finale? Anyone have a clue on what the finale will be?

I hope they're both gone after this season. They'd be "number one with a bullet" if you guys ever did a list of "TV's Creepiest Couples."

At first I thought "Oh my god", right Gil would be the perfect killer in so many ways. But then that would mean they've put alot of extra effort into making sure the media just focuses on Sara/Jorja possible end. And then I think, a). he's way too valuable a character. and b). I may be giving them too much credit for a plot twist...

Just finished watching this and all I can say is holy cow! I hope that Gil was just making a replica because I can honestly saw my pulse skipped when I saw that.

I am going to be so ticked if Heather bites it. She's one of my favorite reoccurring characters.

No way. The clues are all there in place. Sara is not the MCSK. Remember bleach? In fact, watch the scene again. First she smiles slightly, and then she is tremendously moved, nearly to tears. This is all set-up for next week's reappearance of Lady Heather, as well as the finale that puts Sara into extreme danger.

What's up Toomey!? Friday and still no review of CSI:MIAMI from this past Monday's sweeps episode? Lost interest?

I completely forgot she was a foster kid, and it would make for some great tv if she was(since she is the closest person to Grissom who is the closest person to this case). Can't wait to find out who it is. But does she have an obsession with bleach?

I am not sure there is any evidence but remember, she was in foster care as a kid. We have no idea where that was, perhaps she was one of the kids taken care of by the family.
