I can't get enough of these guys. It's something to watch how they find the evidence.

Season six does not fail to satisfy those who love the show or just science geeks in general. They continually develop each character as they investigate each case as well as adding in crimes that are currently hot in the media or what "myth" is going around. If you like mysteries, mind puzzles or just plain science, C.S.I. is the perfect show for you and I can't wait for Season 7!

Seven years ago, "CSI" was ahead of its time. Seven years ago, "CSI" was revolutionary for its study of a science most thought of as gibberish. The risk CBS took by placing it on air, in a coveted time slot, was groundbreaking, and even more so by the positive response they were given. Now, nestled in the comforts of a soundstage on the Universal Lot, it appears the Powers That Be have become complacent, lazy, and smug. They have a phenomenon on their hands, and they no longer feel the need to take risks; instead they have let their success go to their heads, as well as their pocketbooks. However, that is a review best left for the release of the Season Seven DVDs, because I am sad to say, "CSI" in its seventh season has jumped the shark, which can only mean that season Six was the last of the Great "CSI" Seasons.
"CSI" Season Six started off strong, promising a lot even within the opening shot of the premiere-- when the entire team joins back together and proudly saunters side by side on their way to a new investigation. All of the original stars of the show are back, as well, which is unheard of for such a long running serialized one-hour drama on network television. And this season provided an insight into the characters that never was before: sure, we knew all about Catherine's screwed up family-- a deadbeat (turned just plain dead) ex-husband, a daughter headed for trouble, a mobster/murderer father-- but now we learn about the others, each one back with a slightly new and possibly improved outlook after one of their own (Nick) almost lost his life in the previous year's season finale. We finally hear Catherine admit her attraction to Warrick outloud; Warrick has made the insanely impromptu decision to marry a woman no one even seemed to know he was dating; Nick, someone who connected as emotionally to his cases as Sara, actually has to be pulled back emotionally by Sara when he starts to look at a victim as not just a body; and Grissom not only beds Lady Heather but also finally gives into seasons of Sara's whiny advances.
The storylines also got kicked up a notch, with "Dog Eat Dog" looking at competitive eating and a genetic disease called Prader-Willi Syndrome; "Pirates of the Third Reich" dealing with Nazi mentality; and "The Unusual Suspect," which is the ultimate in sibling bonds when a twelve year old genius claims she is actually responsible when her average brother is on trial for murdering a meanspirited but popular classmate. But the clear stand out episode(s) are the two-story arc "A Bullet Runs Through It" Parts 1 and 2, which open with the most expensive teaser in television, in which three police cars chase and then take part in a shootout with four suspects in a lower class area in Las Vegas. Needless to say, race, inter-squad politics, and the media are all issues tackled here, when the CSIs are forced to investigate two of their own in the fatal shooting of a rookie uniformed officer who was caught in the crossfire. This episode also brings Hodges into the field for the first (and only) time, which is an obvious laughable moment.
Season Six is not innocent of dabbling in gimmicks and kitsche, though. Some episodes preach more than the typical Gris-isms (one-liners), but still do it subtley ("Room Service," for example, which shows that no matter how much you have in life, you're all the same in death). It also takes a page out of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"'s book in the episode "Killer," in which we watch the crime happen and know who the perpetrator is from minute one of the show. And in "Rashomama" (yes, a concept stolen from a classic film), we see the crime scene multiple times, told through the eyes of the individual investigator telling his or her side, therefore giving the crime multiple personalities, so to speak.
Season Six is not the best season by any means, but it still sticks close enough to the original formula that made it the most successful show on Thursday nights, on CBS, week after week. It has not grown stale: it continues to challenge its viewers, as well as shock them (and of course, make them squeal, as the special effects become more gruesome with time), and it never disappoints.
