Field Mice 10x18

So as a die hard wedges/labrat fan it is very obvious to see why I loved this episode so much. Every year these are the episodes with the most creativity and humor.


The Case: Hodges and Wendy lead three young explorer scouts on a field trip they will never forget. To challenge them Hodges finds an old case that had until this episode remained unsolved. After a fire at a group of apartment and the firefighter or should i say "evidence erradication team" cleared the scene a body of a young woman was found. The weird thing is she had no evidence of being burned even though she was right in the middle of an arson crime scene. Ultimately they end up putting themself in the CSI position and pulling through as far as solving the case goes. Turns out the russian woman died from a combination of drugs and alcohol, her one night stand put her in a packing box because he had to go to work. Well a little known fact about packing peanuts is that to be environmentally friendly they are made up of starch components. So after the guy left the girl in the box went up in the flames but didnt burn do to the insulation like properties of the packing peanuts. A sort of sub case occured when Nick began to investigate an outbreak of bacteria that was making the lvpd all throw up their guts. It provided some comic relief especially since they cop guy was such a bumbling idiot. Turns out his ex laced some cookies she made for him with the bacteria. In a twist of irony that particular cop was the only one who didnt get sick because of his post break-up diet minus sugary sweets.

The Characters: Of course this episode focused on Wendy and Hodges, but the other characters almost gave them a run for their money. Hodges seemed to really be coming around to the idea that he could have a meaningful relationship, to bad that moment came when he found out Henry was about to make a move. Thing is, Wendy couldnt stop her feelings for Hodges either. Both have tried so many times after all. In the end all went extremely well with a very passionate kiss...wendy practically launched herself at him. Now back to Henry who really came out of his shell in this episode. After apparently hanging out with Wendy he was head over heels. So what did he do? He asked Hodges permission in a hilariously awkward attempt to suck up. Later throughout the show, several bad things happened including car trouble, a GCMS hack and a sticky situation. At first there was no doubt in my mind that Hodges was the evil genius culprit. However the biggest twist of the entire episode was that Wendy was in fact the one behind the practical jokes. She really didnt like how Henry turned from a friend to a potential partner, this was obvious with her pained expression when he mentioned fancy dining and a suit. The french sentence afterwards didnt help. Sub character plots include a drunk cop Brass, Big bully cat lover Robbins and cheesy investigating of a crime by Hodges.

THE KISS: need i explain why?
Flirting with DNA processes: Hodges initiated it, Wendy caught on and Catherine felt awkward lmao.
Lab Rat references: Mr. Blue Sky playing in the background, and the line "You always get something from Trace"

The Degradation of Kid Movies

Recently I saw the animated movie How to Train your Dragon. Now it wasnt a bad movie, there were some parts that were really cute however it wasnt deserving of an A. I have been wondering why there was such high ratings for a movie that wasnt all that great.

The conclusion I came to was the fact that more and more kids movies today dont meet any good movie standards. So when one that is moderately good comes along like How to Train your Dragon, critics go nuts. Before the movie the previews were cringe inducing. Yes that bad. Some of the truly atrocious kids movies to come are Marmaduke and some animal movie with Brendan Fraser. It was so bad I didnt catch the title because my brother and I were discussing how we would rather shoot ourselves than see that movie. Also remember G Force from last year? A box office smash but widely slammed by critics for being utterly stupid.

My real question is what happened to good old classic kids movies like Jumangi, ET or Gremlins. Maybe Im just being a tad too stuck in the past, but those movies seemed to me like they were the movies to grow up to. If I ever do have kids I will physically monitor what movies they see to weed out all the ick. I would rather have a kid watch Pulp Fiction than G-Force.

It is these kids movies today that are packed with jokes which are so stupid. Now I can appreciate most kinds of humor, but that kind I just mentioned is a new breed of lame. Filmakers of these movies and producers too should focus more on the storyline than selling tickets to an animated animal talking yuk-fest. After all if a young kid can learn to like a true good story, they can take that all through out the remainder of their lives.

The Panty Sniffer 10x16

There nothing like a Vegas convention fetish episode, to either make you laugh or cringe while watching with family members. Trust me I would have been laughing if I wasnt next to my mother. While it may have been awkward the story line was well played out.The Case: Ray and Nick were sent to a fetish convention to investigate the death of a hotel worker with an incredibly weird double life. Turns out an up and coming trend is panty smelling, the natural scent of a woman can go for up to 2 grand....! Anyways the woman who died was missing her panties, which in turn pointed the CSI's towards an exceptionally creepy Mr Pudder. I dont know which actor played him, but whoever it was played him very well. Online Ray finds out that this hotel worker was moonlighting for the panty sniffing operation. In fact she was a top seller of vacumm sealed packs of used underwear. According to the convention manager men fell in love with her "scent". Even though he had her underwear in his pocket he had not killed her which was a weird twist in the plot. It was then that Nick discovered her key card to her room was still active and the card the CSI's had collected belonged to another hotel worker. This guy had an obvious double persona. When inquired about this woman he flipped, and come to find out he had kicked her down a set of stairs because he was jealous of her side job. Meanwhile in the same hotel Catherine and Vartann were staking out a couple of exctasy producers in the next room over. These two young guys were the biggest drug producers and had poisoned some young kids in Tahoe. So while watching them bake the drugs through cameras set up by Archie and Greg they waited for their opportunity to collect the hazardous materials, Jim Brass was going to stake out the rave to collect the drug pushers. Of course one of the guys got away and went back to the hotel where Catherine was bagging the chemicals. This led to several intense moments of running around the hotel room, while Vartann just didnt hear anything. It all ended good though with Vartann shooting Belle the drug dealer straight off of Catherine.

The Characters: Mostly CSI didnt stray very far from the core characters of the episode....Catherine, Vartann, Nick and Langston. I always love the pairing of Nick with Langston because its very real. Here are two different guys, one being a brainiac and the other an ex football good looking man. When they get together Im guarnteed to laugh. Being as they both have a killer sense of humor. Their faces when they discovered what the convention really was......priceless. Im sure the Cartann (or whatever its called) fans were upset that the much anticipated kiss, was a decoy to not blow their cover. However they did share several moments of deep conversation. Why does Catherine always go for the damaged guys? Detective Vartann obviously was not a very good father or husband...though he is kind of adorable. Anyways he seems a tad better than Eddy or that Casino Manager smoozer guy. Wendy and Nick shared a cute banter over the law of the underwear for ladies. Although all her info was pretty self explanatory. Lucky Hodges though because she did say she was an expert...meaning her panties must be top notch. Sorry I couldnt help myself with that one ;). It was also cute how Greg wore a very weird rave outfit and kinda has a history with it. Well it was more funny how Brass reacted.

Favorite Parts of the Episode:

Convention: It may have been weird, but weird things do have their place in Vegas

Creep Mr. Pudder: That guy took perverse to a whole new level

Nick and Langston: Cute Chemistry and conversation....underwear vending machines!?

Vartann History: Interesting character development

Catherine's Wandering Eyes: She kept staring at Vartann's ass.

Wendy: Always feisty and fun to watch

Langston and Robbins: Your very creepy doc! hilarious.

Nicks Delivery: He has such a dry sense of humor especially with the pervert convention.
