Appendicitment

There was so much music and fun in this episode that had little to no focus on crime. The side going-ons were of the weird Jekyl fashion but even that was riddled with the comic relief of a disease addled millionaire.

The Case: On Henry the lab techs birthday Nick, Greg and Hodges kidnap him all in good fun to drive across the desert for the "best barbecue". Little do they know but just five months ago such establishment was shut down because of its relation to a hepatitis B outbreak. While making the long journey there in a vintage gold car, they are run off the road by a reckless driver. Quick camera pan to everyones screaming faces was director brilliant as it made me laugh to tears. The epic walking through the desert scene with the oldies cowboy music was priceless as well. So as they finally arrive to the hog hideout, while searching the place they find a dead body flown through a window covered by a raccoon. Turns out the scrungy dude was the prized BBQ cook and was in a heated battle with raccoon-zilla. While carrying out a revenge plot by baiting the bottom of a barrel with gas and chewed bones, Gomez shot into the barrel propelling himself through the window with the raccoon in tow. The CSI and Lab Rat boys were at that point stranded with a drunk crazy woman and a greaser named slick. All the while under the suspicions on the wherabouts of the supposed third man involved with the hog hideout Harry. During all of the events out in the middle of nowhere the las vegas crime lab were dealing with yet another DR. JEKYL incident involving new appendix. However I couldnt focus on that crime as I was too busy with the other which was the obvious focus of my attention.

The Characters: What an amazing episode for the awesome foursome. Nick with all the bravado when faced with the threat of being turned into pink goo by the redneck. Hodges with his useless information and some of the best facial reactions ever. Greg who reacted to everything with the coolness of a man out of his usual territory. Meanwhile Henry the B-day boy left the evening with a sprained ankle and a sulfuric acid burn, though never losing his witty sarcasm! What a group indeed! In the midst of everything Henry got hit on by the desperate drunk broad Shirly. So much happened in one episode and I was laughing the entire time. We need more feel good episodes of CSI a season, they turn my entire day around and ultimately end up being the best as far as writing goes. I mean "Earthling your days are limited" coming out of an old ham radio before the whole thing got a spark surge. Genious. Also on the side story Brass was his usual self in the funniest interrogation since probably the one with the bald dude in the giant blue kitty costume....hahaha. Everyone had funny quips in this episode maybe not Langston (who really isnt ever that funny) and the writing was pitch perfect.

Favorite Parts of the Episode:

Car rolling scene: The panning shot of everyone screaming was perfect.

Hodges: Smarts meets social situations is the definition of hilarious

Interrogation scene: Brass was on his best performance trying to keep the older diseased man awake or should i say alive?

Ribs Twist!: What caused the hepatitis B? Why only the grossest yet most interesting twist

Henry Sarcasm: The writing was so perfect for Henry, the mixture of geeky sweetnes and sharp wit with his pals

Everyone mutually being cops: When faced with the shotgun toting red-neck hodges was the only one who tried to say he worked in the lab. Why does everyone say that they are cops when faced with riskue situations.

Disease man: OR should I say bountiful panda????
