Random Acts of Violence, Season 3 #13

A drive-by shooting kills a 9 year old girl that was asleep in her bed. Warrick knows the family and gets emotionally involved in finding who did it. Nick investigates a death at an internet service “thing”- as described by Dectective Vega.

GREG:

1. Nick has Archie assist with processing computer evidence. Greg is a little jealous that Archie gets to play assistant instead of him. Nick reminds him that he was just using the right tool for the right job, and asks Archie a question about Star Trek to which he gives a complicated answer only a true fanboy would know. No more argument from Greggo.
2. Flirting with giggly girl as Warrick and Grissom get back to lab with lollipop stick to process. All work and no play make Greg a dull boy. Grissom: all play and no work make Greg an unemployed boy.

Blue t-shirt.

REST OF TEAM:

• Warrick uses a digital camera processing this scene rather the larger camera we usually see. Permanent upgrade or another free trial?
• Three employees at the computer company are all very distinct types. Dead guy was their boss and had a tracking program on their computers, tracking activities and keystrokes.
• Warrick’s jacket as they’re processing says LVPD Crime Scene Investigations. Grissom’s says Forensics. What do I feel like wearing today?
• No Sara this episode.
• Father of dead little girl manages a rec center that Warrick went to as a kid. Warrick brings him to the police station as they’re letting the suspect go. Grissom and Brass are not happy with him having the grieving father there during on-going investigation.

Got Murder? Season 3 #12

An eye is found in a raven’s nest (prompting Grissom to quote Poe) and a guy is on the coroner’s table for autopsy but he isn’t dead. When he later passes away, the CSI’s have to figure out what happened.

GREG:

Analysis of samples from house. And snake venom. --two short appearances.

Maroon dress shirt.

REST OF TEAM:

• Really didn’t want to see Grissom stick a needle in the eye for fluid. Double YICK.
• Oops. Catherine is taking things out of the birds nest. We watch her take a baby teething ring and adds it to pile on right side. Grissom comes in; camera pans back down to nest and ring is back in nest.
• Sara says average Nevadan generates 3 times more waste than the average American.
• Routine autopsy on what is assumed to be a heart attack victim, SuperDave’s initial cut finds blood – this guy isn’t dead.
• Priest is Michael O’Keefe. Fred from Roseanne.
• Catherine is processing beds at the dead ladies house - all the CSI’s have this one-armed whoosh they do to move bed covers off a bed to use the ALS lite. Think they teach that in CSI school?

Recipe for Murder, Season 3 #11

A human arm is found stuck in a meat grinder, bone from the elbow (one of the strongest bones in the body). Young lady slices her wrists in her bed, appears to be a staged suicide.

GREG:
Helps Catherine process blood from knives.

Tries to tell Grissom factoid about bacteria, which he already knew~~

Greg: So I guess I should just stop trying to impress you.

Gris: That would impress me Greg.

Solid black dress shirt.

REST OF TEAM:

• When they see the carnage left in the grinder, they each have a comment. Catherine, “Meat is Murder.” (Second album from the Smiths) And Grissom: “I’m gonna need a hand.” Punny.
• Sara calls Hank ‘baby’ at scene. After just telling Catherine last week he wasn’t her boyfriend. But he doesn’t seem to mind.
• Nice metaphor Grissom uses to describe fingerprint enhancing solution – makes ridges come out like "a chia pet on steroids."
• Arm found in grinder belongs to a head chef at fancy restaurant. While processing the kitchen everybody finds something: Nick finds semen, Catherine cocaine, Grissom blood.
• First appearance of lab technician David Hodges. Transfer from LAPD, he overshares that they said he had an attitude problem.
• Mom of dead girl is played by Marita Geraghty. Nancy from Groundhog Day-- “This is Nancy, she works in the dress shop and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets *real* excited.” GREAT movie.

Grissom’s Lesson of the Week: To a geologist there’s no such thing as sand, each grain is a tiny rock.
