March 21, 2006 - 11:43 PMCBS, TV Squad, and "Killer," start off with a comprehensive recap of it over at CBS.com.
MSN praised the episode for the complexity the week's "villain," Karl Cooper," showed.
"Karl Cooper was the kind of killer that a scientist like Grissom could appreciate. He was so careful that he picked up his cigarette butts on his way to his first murder of the night. And if Ally Smith hadn't driven into him, he probably would have gotten away with Clayton Nash's murder."

A couple of weeks later, "Up In Smoke" aired. Start out by reading a full recap of the episode over at CBS.com.
MSN made special mention of the emotional storyline of Mr. Fitzgibbons and his missing daughter Caroline and praised Sara Sidle for staying on top of things and knowing her Poe.
In "I Like To Watch," the CSIs chased after a foot fetishist who liked to dress as firemen to get into women's apartments while cameras filming a documentary followed them. You can read the full recap over at CBS.com.
MSN found the episode reminiscent of an old episode of The X-Files, but still anjoyable to watch.
"This show was reminiscent of the "X-Files" episode where the show "Cops" followed agents Mulder and Scully. A reality TV crew from "Hard Crimes" followed our CSIs this week. "Too many forensics shows on TV," Grissom grumped to the producer. The "CSI" writers definitely had some fun."

The Miami episode "Silencer" had Horatio and the team facing the Mala Noche gang yet again. Read a synopsis of it at CBS.com.
A complete recap of the episode "Fade Out" is also available at the website.
Jonathan Toomey, from TV Squad, is excited about Miami's serial storylines this season.
"The one thing I'm liking about this season is that they're successfully turning CSI: Miami into a serial and moving away from just a weekly procedural. But this week faltered a little. The storylines were dropped regarding the mole and Horatio's date with Marisol, but we did learn that Wolfe will probably lose his eyesight if he doesn't get surgery ASAP. I'm curious to see if Wolfe, though short-lived on the show, is on his way out because this storyline is starting to shape up like one that could do just that."

If you missed the episode "Skeletons," start out by reading a full recap of it at CBS.com.
At TV Squad, Toomey thought Resden's motivations, combined with his receding hair line, made him the perfect nemesis for Horatio. He's also certain that Natalia Boa Vista is Miami's mole. Read his review here.
In the episode "Deviant," a former child molester is found dead and the evidence suggests someone at the lab may be involved. Read the full summary of the episode at CBS.com.
The same episode, however, was a bit of a disappointment for TV Squad, particularly the evident mood swings of the regular characters.
"Anyone else notice how Wolfe was being an absolute jack-ass to everyone? At first I couldn't figure it out because it seems like he's kind of been that way ever since taking the nail in the eye. I just figured he was starting to get rough around the edges since his eyesight is going. But then he was really rude to Calleigh in that one scene and at that point it was out of character."
A week later, "Collision" aired. Read the full recap of the episode here.
Toomey mentioned in TV Squad's review of "Collision" that he'd like to see Detective Frank Tripp get in the spotlight for once, and laments the fact that the character has gotten a bit mellow in the last couple of episodes. You can read his review here.
In the episode "Double Jeopardy" a man is found not guilty of killing his wife, but Horatio is certain that the man did commit the crime. He needs to find new evidence to put him behind bars. You can read a full recap of the episode at CBS.com.
Toomey from TV Squad was a big fan of the episode.
"I thought the story was really well done. The way they weaved in an unrelated case, which then turned out to be related in an extremely odd way, was fantastic. Essentially, a man had been accused of killing his wife but the body was never recovered. So the jerk got acquitted and then they found the body. Obviously it went downhill for him from there but in the end, it was his new wife that had killed the first. That caught me off guard. I honestly thought the guy was guilty the whole time."

The episode "Driven," which aired just last night, had Horatio making a big decision about his personal life. You can read the recap at CBS.com.
On the CSI: New York front, CBS has a full synopsis of the episode "Stuck On You." You can read it here.
Jonathan Toomey from TV Squad was a little disappointed with the lack of character development on the episode and the series overall.
"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."

The next episode of New York, "Fare Game," has been summarized by CBS here.
TV Squad still wishes the show would delve more into the characters' personal storylines, but still gave praise to the plots of "Fare Game." The website also made note of what a great medical examiner Dr. Sid Hammerback is. You can read their review here.
Nancy Gail from BlogCritics, enjoyed seeing the little tidbits of the character's personal lives in the episode:
"While forensic evidence is the focal point, l have enjoyed seeing the lives of the characters unfold. After Adien Burns (Vanessa Ferlito) was fired for evidence-tampering, it was a little unclear as to how much things would change in regards to the team. However, Lindsay Monroe has proven herself to be a welcome addition. Not only can she hold her own as a detective, she is adept at handling edgy Messer."

In "Cool Hunter," the death of a woman has the CSIs wondering if the building where she was murdered is cursed. Read the full recap of the episode at CBS.com.
Toomey from TV Squad continues to ask for personal storylines and interactions between the characters. You can read his review here.
At BlogCritics, Gail provided a summary of the plot and expressed her enjoyment of the budding relationship between Danny Messer and Lindsay Monroe. You can find her recap here.Discuss this news item at Talk CSI!
