I know I sound like a broken record at this point but the direction of this show is really ticking me off.
It has the potential to be so much better. Anthony Zuiker, the creator and producer behind all three CSI:
shows, cannot possibly be paying attention when this one is being made. Because if he was, he'd see how it pales in
comparison to Vegas and Miami.
My big thing is backstory because I like to know where a character is coming from. After this episode, I finally figured out what the writers are doing. They book-end! They have a bunch of cases and a bunch of small backstory tidbits and rather than take the time to weave them together into a seamless episode, they simply bookend the two cases with the backstory at the beginning and end of the show making the cases and backstory completely independent of each other. There's a phrase for that. It's called being lazy.
