A perennial Nielsen ratings topper, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation shows no signs of losing creative momentum in its sixth season. The 24 episodes are taut, fascinating, and gruesome; that killer combination fulfills the promise this CBS series has shown since its inception. In its sixth year, the show delves into the characters' personal lives more so than in previous seasons, adding more dimension and truth to the roles. We see the looks exchanged between head investigator Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and his underling Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) and learn the true nature of their relationship. Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) works on a case involving her estranged father that may land him behind bars. And partially in response to Nick Stokes' (George Eads) kidnapping last season, Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) impetuously marries his girlfriend, much to the chagrin of Catherine. The personal vignettes are never at the expense of the twisted cases, which include a murder attempt on a fading Vegas beauty (Faye Dunaway), siblings affected by hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), and the return of Lady Heather (Melinda Clarke) in a startling episode penned by author Jerry Stahl (i>Permanent Midnight. But the season's most compelling storyline features straightforward detective Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle), who is embroiled in a shootout in a poor, Hispanic neighborhood. The racial tension between the police and the residents is thick and menacing, and no one is sure who is in the right.

The main problem with CSI also is something that can't be prevented. In order to clue viewers in to some of the complicated procedures the investigators are undertaking, the characters habitually explain to each other why they're performing a certain test or checking for other components. They're scientists and already know why. The special features include audio commentary on six episodes. One of the most interesting (and funny) featurettes is the sound editor explaining how he utilizes vegetables to enhance autopsy scenes--and then later uses the leftovers for snacks. --Jae-Ha Kim

Still going great
The sixth season of C.S.I. (six seasons already?) finds the Jerry Bruckheimer-fueled train still rolling. As the season opens, Grissom (William Petersen) and Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) are back in charge of the forensic teams, as this season delves a little bit more into the personal lives of the team. Warrick (Gary Dourdan) got quietly married (much to the dismay of Catherine), Nick (George Eads) is still recovering and still haunted from his traumatizing event in the previous season's finale, and Sara (Jorja Fox) has a clue about her past revealed. The bloody cases of the season involve such cases including a whacked out cult, a dead movie star, and the assorted murdered strippers, husbands, wives, etc. It's amazing that a prime time ratings darling like C.S.I. still manages to seem innovative, even though there are so many spin-offs and immitators flooding prime time using the formula that this show helped set up (the grizzled, veteran leader, the hunky ethnic guy, the nerdy, young genius, the hot girl in tight clothing, etc.). By season's end, Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) is in critical condition, and Grissom is given a hard choice to make. By the final frame of the season finale, you may be a bit stunned, which sets up the current seventh season. All in all, C.S.I. still manages to pack a punch, and it still tops the immitators in every way, shape, or form.

Yet another season of solid entertainment
CSI Las Vegas is the show that yields the true goods and its two spin-offs have not even come close to mirroring the quality of this stellar show. Season 5 was a good season (oh, heck... all of them were great...) but Season 6 was the one with the stories that seemed to affect our favorite CSI's more than before. Nick is still recovering from his tramatic expierience being burried alive and nearly eatedn alive by bugs and throughout the first half of this season, you see the effects it all has on him. His ordeal gets tied up midaway in "Daddy's Little Girl" which also features an intriguing investigation of a young woman who seems to have really bad luck with men... as in they either die or flee...
Warick gets married and in "Bodies in Motion" what viewers suspected for a while comes into fruitation as Catherine reveals that she has fantasized about him and his marraige makes that "fantasy" null and void.
Catherine gets a little closer to her "father" even when he becomes a suspect in a bizarre mob-like murder investigation in "Kiss-Kiss, Bye-Bye" which also features a lavish performance by the stunning Faye Dunaway.
Grissom gets a blast from the past when a DOA turns out to be the estranged daughter of none-other-than Lady Heather in "Pirates of the Third Reich" and has more hard impacting moment with her before the episode ends.
Sara shines in all the episodes because she has always been so knowledgable and smart but she gets a moment to oppose Nick in "Gum Drops" when he insists that a possible victim could still be alive and Sara inists that his own kidnapping expierience may be impairing his judgement. It is one of the finer episodes of this season... and it has some pretty neat twists.
The two part "A Bullet Runs Trhough It" stood out the most for me because it is one of the most heartbreaking episodes I've seen in a while. Sophia and Brass are being investigated for the possible "friendly fire" death of one of their own and the conclusion to this stunner brought me to tears and made me feel a whole different degree of respect for bith Sophia nad Brass.
"Still Life" is another episode that hits close and hits hard. A mother believes her son has been kidnapped and when he turns up in another "loving" family... of course it would not be CSI if there weren't a few boggeling twists...
The emotional "Up In Smoke" was another stunner complete with several twists throughout... as the CSI's investigate a charred body in a chimney only to be informed by Catherine and Warick that the tenant was being investigated for the disapearance of a teenage girl nearly a year earlier. Catherine (who has always been my favorite CSI) takes this case personal as she seriously believes that this man murdered that girl.
"Rashomama" finds the CSI's investigating a murdered "mother-in-law" wat a wedding and what makes this episode shine is the different takes on what happened after Nicks car (and the evidence) is stolen. Seeing Sara's view on marraige is pretty funny... and sequence when they try to think back is hilarious as the scen seems to mesh with their views of marraige. Who knew Nick was so romantic?
Of course, the season finale "Way To Go" is another shocked as one of their own is in a life or death struggle after being shot during a hostage situation. It is a touching episode and another one that had me on the verge of tears. I really got a better feel for Brass and Grissom's friendship in this one.
So... great season... lots of good stories and this DVD set is loaded with interesting extras. Even after six seasons this show is still as potent to me and I hope it has the steam to continue on for a little bit longer. If you own the other seasons, this is certainly a plus to have with your collection. I am not at all disapointed with this purchase.
