"CSI: Miami" on CBS in HD - Page 8

post #211 of 635

I have a question about the restraining order that Natalia's ex put on her.

He went to a crime scene as a "clean-up" guy and said she had to leave. If she's still working the scene as a CSI, wouldn't that mean the clean-up crew shouldn't be there at all and he should leave?

And I had no idea it was so easy to stop a car in the middle of the street in Miami, one of the passengers get out and look at the front of the car, the driver back up, run over the guy, back up, pick him up off the street, put him in the back seat, and drive away without any witnesses.

(From Marc Berman's Tuesday, October 10 , 2006, Programming Insider column at Mediaweek.com )

At 10 p.m., CBS' CSI: Miami was the highest rated show of the evening at a healthy 12.3/20 in the overnights, 17.93 million viewers and a 5.9/15 among adults 18-49.

I was thinking the same thing. If the "clean-up" crew is there to clean-up, wouldn't they do it after the CSIs are done? That's what I think.

Yeah, and then to carry him over your back on an empty beach and dump the body there without anyone noticing. First you have to believe that the beach was completely empty to begin with during the daytime.

And that the surf would take the body out instead of just washing it back up on shore. The writing for this show has gotten so bad, so completely full of holes, the images are it's only redeeming quality, but I'm not sure how long just that will keep me watching.

You're right. I'm still trying to figure out how a show can go backwards in terms of its writing. Hopefully the writers will notice their folly and decide to shore up the writing. I'll still watch the show b/c it has some many other things going fo it.

I don't think that's the way that restraining orders work in the real world, is it?

If person A gets a restraining order against person B, can person A walk into person B's workplace and effectively force person B to leave work?

I thought that it only prevented person B from coming near person A; if person A comes near person B, that's his/her problem.

Every week it seems they try to top the previous episode for grossness. Last week's severed head torso hanging from the fan on CSI New York was hard to take but I think it was out grossed by last nights CSI Miami when the medical examiner stuck some kind of tube into the bloated stomach and the pressurized liquified innards came flying out. Good thing she had it pointed away from her face. Also brains popping out of a scull seems to be an ongoing event All in glorious HD

Well, what about the CSI Vegas episode two Thursdays ago when they showed what happened to the lady's brain that was pushed off of the cliff. It seems to me that every year the three CSI shows try to out do themselves with even more gore than the previous year. To bad I was trying to eat watching the most recent episode, but then again I should have known better.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the episode from Monday, mainly H standing down a gun wielding guy in front of the police dept. None of the other cops in stepped in front of the gun, but H did, b/c we all know that he is the only one that can. He walks directly up to barrel of the gun, tilts his head left to right, and says "Friend, how can I help you". That was damn funny. That's why I love this show. Oh, and what about when he is standing outside waiting for the developer, head tilted down, shades on, and somehow he knows exactly when the developer is going to walk out of the building and H is somehow able to see the developer walk by even though is head down and he's wearing shades.

15 minutes later, H is standing outside of the judge's office, head down, shades on in a dark building and somehow he's able to see the judge walk out of his office. I love this show.

I missed this week's show, but it sure sounds like H continues to use his supernatural abilities. Amazing.

I rarely watch the show anymore, but I love to come read this thread to hear about H's latest antics.

My mom loves the show and thinks Horatio is God. She can't figure out why he cracks me up.

That's what I said when that happened..."It doesn't work that way at all." ...although I'm sure this guy is just another plot device for later in the season.

well, i like the show.

I love the over contrast look, i love the razor sharp visuals, I love the overacting. and the bright bright color.

I most of all love it because i am entertained by it. I dont care whats real and how real it is...if i wanted real ill watch cops. Im watching entertainment and it entertains.

give me a break, all you "reviewers" are comical...not to mention that this is not a content material review site....this is a visual and audio review site.

maybe you dont like the artistic look but i think its sweet!

anyway it is by far the best csi because i really cant stand the gore for no reason of the other shows.

btw if your looking for real non of the csi has it because the tests and how they come up with info in minutes is rediculously unreal. lol

Best episode this season! The thing with the coffin and all the superstition was so unlike CSI:M, but it really worked!

The HD was mostly messed up here in Nashville. I had to watch in SD

Two things I noticed last night: When we see a profile of H, he is starting to get that drooping chin thing. He is also very homely looking , huh?

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when Frank gets done with a sentence, he leaves his mouth open and his lips apart for a bit?

Anybody catch the bubble that floated up in front of Calleigh's face in the lab? I can't recall what they were talking about now, but the bubble seemed out of place....I believe it was later in the hour.

I rewound it a couple times with the DVR just to be sure --- pretty cool.

I give the writers credit for last night's episode b/c it was a departure from the norm. Kinda reminds me of a CSI: Vegas episode from last season. However, I hope it doesn't happen on a regular basis. I liked that we saw a different, more funny side from the Wolfe character and as always, H had to ham it up, which I love. Case in point, with 4 minutes remaining on the bomb that was planted in the car, H decides that it's best for him to drive the car to the beach and let it explode. I was wondering the whole time how he got through all of the red-lights without stopping and how no one on the beach was anywhere near the car.

The most funny part of that scene was classic H. He gets out of the car, puts on his shades, walks away in slow-mo with a guitar rift playing in the background and right after the car blows up he says, "Burnnnn baby, burnnn". I had to rewind two more time just to watch that. It was great. Thankfully, the hd was fine here in Phoenix, except for the occasional breakup in around the 42-45 minute mark.

But it's the whole lead-up to that point that is truly classic. "What are you going to do?" "I'm going for a ride."

Calmly, with 4 minutes, Horatio gets into his Humvee and drives all the way to the beach, on some mysterious highway with absolutely no traffic. He stops the car and has enough time to calmly look down, smirk, and take off his sunglasses before he gets out of the car. Then, closes the door and slowly walks away from the car, still with the smirk. And the explosion is perfectly synchronized with him putting on the sunglasses.

As I said before, the best comedy on TV.

haha, you're so right. But I still love this show for some reason. I've lived in Miami and I can tell ya, it don't take no 4 minutes to get from way on the other side of town to the beach. Hell, it takes 4 minutes just to get through a red light near the beach.

I've stopped really caring about the storylines and watch for the eye-candy PQ and the Horatioisms. Vegas is still the best, and NY has grown on me.

But Miami usually a top 10 show...go figure. So either EVERYONE is laughing at Horatio, or some people actually take it seriously lol

You can't get from Miami-Dade Police Headquarters to an expressway entrance in 4 minutes. A trip to the beach should take 30-40 minutes from there, with no lights or siren on the vehicle.

I think the bomber used a defective timer....

Yep. Can't get from West Dade to Miami Beach in 4 minutes. It takes about 4 minutes to get across the Julia Tuttle and the traffic on the 112 is ahhhhhhhhhh.

The wife and I just finished watching this weeks episode and we noticed the bubble float up out of her eye/mouth as well!!!! It was at the 53 minute mark. At first we thought her contact popped out of her (left) eye...but it floated UP...and didn't fall down.

We rewound it multiple times....and the bubble appears to come out of her eye!

Funny stuff....funny...funny....funny.....

{*And MAN did that chick who did all the killing have some NASTY skin*}.....

Edit: And I also noticed either a nasty burn, bad scar or some serious skin issues on Wolfe's right forearm in several scenes.....
