A perennial Nielsen ratings topper, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation shows no signs of losing creative momentum in its sixth season. The 24 episodes are taut, fascinating, and gruesome; that killer combination fulfills the promise this CBS series has shown since its inception. In its sixth year, the show delves into the characters' personal lives more so than in previous seasons, adding more dimension and truth to the roles. We see the looks exchanged between head investigator Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and his underling Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) and learn the true nature of their relationship. Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) works on a case involving her estranged father that may land him behind bars. And partially in response to Nick Stokes' (George Eads) kidnapping last season, Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) impetuously marries his girlfriend, much to the chagrin of Catherine. The personal vignettes are never at the expense of the twisted cases, which include a murder attempt on a fading Vegas beauty (Faye Dunaway), siblings affected by hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), and the return of Lady Heather (Melinda Clarke) in a startling episode penned by author Jerry Stahl (i>Permanent Midnight. But the season's most compelling storyline features straightforward detective Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle), who is embroiled in a shootout in a poor, Hispanic neighborhood. The racial tension between the police and the residents is thick and menacing, and no one is sure who is in the right.
The main problem with CSI also is something that can't be prevented. In order to clue viewers in to some of the complicated procedures the investigators are undertaking, the characters habitually explain to each other why they're performing a certain test or checking for other components. They're scientists and already know why. The special features include audio commentary on six episodes. One of the most interesting (and funny) featurettes is the sound editor explaining how he utilizes vegetables to enhance autopsy scenes--and then later uses the leftovers for snacks. --Jae-Ha Kim

There is that shooting in LA to the Werewolves to the season finale, I personally like this season! Anyway here are the episodes. 118. Bodies in Motion First aired: 9/22/2005 The two forensic teams come back together under the leadership of Grissom and Catherine just in time to tackle three separate investigations: a murdered couple found in bed in a suspicious trailer explosion; a beautiful stripper discovered dead and dumped in the worst part of town; and two bodies found baked and decomposed after spending five days in the trunk of a car exposed to the hot Vegas sun, forcing the CSIs to "wrap" up the evidence and bring it back to the lab for further analysis. 119. Room Service First aired: 9/29/2005 An up-and-coming movie star is found dead in his hotel room after a night of partying with his groupies. 120. Bite...

(six seasons already?) finds the Jerry Bruckheimer-fueled train still rolling. As the season opens, Grissom (William Petersen) and Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) are back in charge of the forensic teams, as this season delves a little bit more into the personal lives of the team. Warrick (Gary Dourdan) got quietly married (much to the dismay of Catherine), Nick (George Eads) is still recovering and still haunted from his traumatizing event in the previous season's finale, and Sara (Jorja Fox) has a clue about her past revealed. The bloody cases of the season involve such cases including a whacked out cult, a dead movie star, and the assorted murdered strippers, husbands, wives, etc. It's amazing that a prime time ratings darling like C.S.I. still manages to seem innovative, even though there are so many spin-offs and immitators flooding prime time using the formula that this show helped set up (the grizzled, veteran leader, the hunky ethnic guy, the...

Hints are evidenced throughout the season so it's not really a surprise, but effective. William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger seem to be less visible during this season, leaving much of the work to the talented co-stars: George Eades, Gary Dourban(whose character ties the knot); Jorja Fox, Louise Lombard, Paul Guilfoyle (exceptionally good this season); Eric Szmanda and Robert David Hall. There are some clever stories this season including takes on werewolves, eating disorders, gang killings, etc. There are also some nice guest turns from Oscar winner Faye Dunaway, Veronica Cartwright and Currie Graham. The background on forensics continues to be fascinating and even though GRAY'S ANATOMY is getting more viewers this season, there's still millions of folks still fascinated with Grissom's Gang. |
