Toe Tags

CSI is a great show, but this was kind of a let down show after the strong start to the season with the first two episodes! I am confident that the rest of the season will be great like the show has been for years! This episode strayed a bit from the other episodes, and was not as good I feel as CSI can be! Part of what makes CSI great is the way that the team solves the murders and I thought that in this episode some of the that was just rushed through, and there were never really a multitude of suspects for any of the four investigations that the teams performed! Each of the cases was interesting, but with this episode I was left wanting more content as they quickly solved and then jumped to the next investigation!

Others have told the tale. The strength of this episode is in the method. Six dead bodies lie in the morgue, four men and two women. After the Doc closes the door the two women tell their stories. They realize they are dead and don't seem particularly upset. As time passes the men are brought in. Each case requires some depth of investigation and it really works well. The writers are to be commended.

Just finished watching "toe tags" I just have to say it was one of the coolest CSI's I've seen in a long time. It was well done and I enjoyed every single minute of the episode. I'm not going to say anything more except if you missed it.. DO not mist the rerun.. well done CSI.. you just might have earned an Emmy nod with this one.. at least I think they should! I have always enjoyed CSI but so far this has been one of the best seasons ever. I've enjoyed every episode since the season premiere. But "Toe Tags" tops all of the previous 2006-2207 season episodes. Whoever wrote this episode or came up with the idea is a genius. Kudos to the writing team of "Toe Tags" you get two thumbs up for this episode for sure!

Don't mind the short stories change but dead bodies talking to the other in the morgue goes against the whole premise of the show as science and fact based investigations can see they're trying stuff and the normal format does follow a tight recipe book ( crime committed , investigation begins, a possible suspect is found and interviewed but facts rule them out and it all seems hopeless again but then something they say or do leads to a new suspect who either turns out to be the killer or leads to the killer ).

Would guess new writers or added pressure to freshen up the show.

Liked the rest of this series so far or though the music during segments while they're in the lab are getting pretty intrusive and aren't a good fit to a analytical show.

CSI is one of my favorite shows, but I have to admit that one of the drawbacks of the show is that it has almost always followed a variation of the same basic format for almost the entire running of the series up to this point. In this episode, they try a little story-telling experiment, and it doesn't really work out so well.

There are four separate cases dealt with in this episode, and they are presented in an interesting way, but the problem is that they are introduced and wrapped up far too quickly and, most of all, the corpses talk. I don't know whose idea that was, but the talking corpses was goofy in the extreme.

As soon as the eyes popped open on one at the beginning of the episode, I thought that someone had suddenly come back to life somehow and my interest was immediately piqued. But then I realized that autopsies had already been performed and my eyes glazed over for the rest of the episode.

It's an otherwise entertaining episode and we get to see Grissom giving some kind of lecture tour, bringing students through the crime lab (I never knew this was part of his job), but the theatrics really brought it down.
