Meat Jekyl 10x23

The final hour of the tenth season was jam packed with suspense and typical CSI-esque tricks.


The Case: DR JEKYL. The reclusive serial killer with a liking for the surgically weird. He almost treats the human body like some sick twisted artists canvas. Anyways part one of the finale ended with Haskall calling Langston and claiming that he knew exclusively who jekyl was. So in this weeks episode as Brass put it "They got him a limo like he was Paul Freakin McCaurtney". Most of the jekyl game of cat and mouse centered on Haskall and his physopathic whims. All of which included rare steak and a stripper. In turn he really didnt offer up anything but trouble. He never told them the restaurant where he initially met the Doctor but instead eluded to the surroundings. That small peice of could be a lie could be the truth info led the CSI's to a closed down italian restaurant. They were all dressed in black clothes with black shades, so they looked like some kind of SCI-FI secret police. On the wall of the food place was all of the previous victims who all seemed to be in a good business standing. The gray metallic human blood covered operating table in the back was even more interesting. Ok so he fit the serial killer persona officially now. Creepy place of origin...check. Connections to other serial killers...check. Finally a shy awkward look.....check. However Jekyl started to get very very cocky. First it was the package that was sent to Langston from his father who was dead. After close examination it was only his badge but it could have been oh so worse. Then came the meat which had eerie links to DaVinci and some type of vein surgery. This was the discovered mode of death. With a little tool the surgeon goes in through the groin (ouch) and draws clots out of a nasty vein. An examination of the meat (Hodges and Wendy) and IRS records led them to the final showdown arena, a high end eating establishment.

The Characters: For the average CSI fan this episode nearly brought out the tears and the old nail biting habit. I mean Nick seriously looked dead after Jekyl shot him with a really big nasty looking gun. Of course our beloved texan made it alive, I mean come on he was trapped in a box underground once for goodness sakes. Im still trying to figure out where the rumor came from that significant blood would be lost by Catherine. She was fine...the whole episode. The closest she came to danger was the old guy smoking a cigar who looked a bit greasy. Langston however looks dead. I say that without much emotion because honestly I dont think the writers would have chosen to kill him off at this point. Plus his contract has been reknewed for season 11. So um cliffhanger fail. While he wasnt in peril from a back wound I think he did some pretty out there investigating. CSI's are trained to notice details afterall but the kind of things that guy found out from the meat was astonishingly brilliant. Hodges and Wendy had some little moments. Ausiello the spoiler guru said we would know about their relationship. They seemed to be chill but dating thats a very big maybe. Im going to wait and see. Then there is Haskall who is needless to say creepy as anything. I love that actor because he really plays pyshcopath pretty phenomenallly.

Favorite Parts of the Episode:

Meat: Gotta hand it to Jekyl he was a clever creative guy

Food Scene: When it was all the victims through Jekyl's eyes. Bernard second victim fainted at the table. haha.

Haskall: With Brass hilarious. Drawing Langston on the computer haha. Just in general a creepy yet entertaining addition to the episode.

Hodges and Wendy: Breif and possible dating good enough for this die hard wedges fan.

Nick: Not only did he shoot Jekyl but he acted dead through the pain of a shotgun wound.

Cliffhanger: Hes ok. Still a clever way to end the episode.

Henry: Always cute and he seemed to be in this one a lot.

Brass One liners: He really hates criminals doesnt he?

I really enjoyed writing these reviews for all you CSI fans. :) Have a great summer.
