This episode has one of the most brilliant sequences 20 minutes in with the introduction of Death. The scene gave me goosebumps...the vocals, the slow motion aspect, and the content of the scene itself all came together to create a literal one minute masterpiece. The episode itself was very well done, moving along the Mytharc and giving us Castiel, Crowley, and Bobby to enhance it all. The latter two have one of the funniest scenes revealing Bobby's deal with Crowley (Supernatural Comedy at it's best here- the spot on delivery between them really highlights the talents of both men) And to top it all off a truly brilliant interaction between Dean and Death. The episode has so many fantastic stand out moments it takes this already great entry and makes it a true gem. And as I stated in the headline: Death is Everything.

Brilliant

You will either love or hate this show ...there is no in between. Slightly offensive, ridiculously hilarious, and unequivocally brilliant...I can't say enough about this show. The writing is everything, the voice actors are amazing, and all in all not a moment of my precious time was wasted watching - every minute was well spent and worth it. This show is shamefully UNDERRATED and better than most cartoons ever hoped to be.
One of the FUNNIEST
14 November 2019
This is one of the funniest CSI episodes I've ever had the pleasure to watch :) If you haven't seen it watch it-and then watch it a second time. You'll laugh out loud twice. So many gems in this episode, from the brilliant writing to the Chuck Lorre sitcom nods, to the tampon scene between Wendy and Hodges, to Brass using the phrase "jumped the shark", not to mention the self depreciating humor, comedic dialogue(nearly every Diedrich Bader facial expression & line delivery legit made me laugh), KATEY SAGAL & DIEDRICH BADER (easily a reason in and of itself to watch) and ALL the other guest stars, this is just one of those must see episodes and I genuinely pity any fan of CSI (and Katey & Diedrich) who hasn't seen this one... (double the pity for those who watched and couldn't appreciate the awesomeness of this episode)
Crossover Time-Who and What / Where and Why
14 November 2019
Who and What is the first half of a CSI crossover with Without a Trace (Where and Why) it's not an altogether terrible effort-but in all honesty I was expecting more from the intertwining of these two spectacular shows. Jack just doesn't fit in seamlessly into CSI show-the character seems out of place (unlike other CSI crossovers which seemed more fluid)
One of the highlights of the episode is AHS alumni Dennis O'Hare who gives a phenomenal performance (as always) which is the problem - the guest star/suspect is exceptional whereas the stars of the show (Grissom and Malone) offer an average performance in comparison. Still, not a bad effort and worth the watch.
Top Notch Episode
12 November 2019
Veronica Cartwright's deliciously viscous performance is reason enough to make this a don't miss episode- mix in Ray Wise, Amanda and Rachel, the humor threaded throughout the episode (especially involving the cast regulars) and an extremely well written story and you get a CSI that belongs on any top ten episodes list ever made.
Well done...but

They should have made the vampire storyline of Suckers more light hearted and campy as opposed to the angst ridden, tragic, clueless wannabe hipster aspect they went with. The other half of the Suckers was spot on- very funny and clever with a few great twists to keep you guessing and grinning. Pairing it with the more serious tone of the other half (the vampire Suckers) made the episode feel off kilter -like watching a really funny show on Comedy Central only to have the commercial break show you abused animals that need your help while Sarah Maclachlan sings a sorrowful song in the background- it just doesn't pair well. Had both cases being investigated in Suckers had a humorous tone to them this would have been an easy 10 stars.
I was expecting more...

Considering this episode is on dozens of Top Ten CSI episodes I was disappointed with the episode in it's entirety. Lots of great moments and guest stars (Dick Roman from Supernatural! That alone earned this one an extra star) but on the whole (despite the fact that I enjoyed the understated tone of Butterflied) I was still left feeling like this was one of the less stellar installments. Still not an altogether bad episode- but there a so many others that give so much more.
Easily one of the best

So many reasons this is one of the best CSI episodes...The episode features mostly Grissom(which in and of itself is a treat) but it also has the one and only Jeffrey Combs as the town coroner of the one horse town Grissom finds himself in. The storyline is fantastic with a few interesting twists and turns and as a side storyline we have Herschel ...ahem...I mean Scott Wilson playing Catherine's father Sam. All in all a great cast and storyline bump this one from an average episode to a top notch one :)

You Love It Or Hate It- I LOVED IT

Psych Fans beware...this is NOT anything like Psych- it IS however and awesomely fun gorefest brought to us by a fabulous (and clearly influenced as a child by the awesomely fun and ridiculous 80's horror decade that made anyone who grew up in that decade slightly demented in a wonderful way) James Roday. If you love Evil Dead (all of them)Reanimator (and Bride of)Killer Clowns from OuterSpace,Fright Night, American Werewolf in London...goofy gore laden fun- then this is for you. I really enjoyed this movie. The cast was AMAZING there is not a single person in this that isn't fantastic. If weird, dark, sick, funny humor is your jam-then THIS is your jam. Keep an eye out for the LOL funny cameo by James and Dule which was the icing on the already delicious cake of a movie that this was. Check your morals and high standards at the door, kick back and enjoy.

For Wes Bentley fans ONLY
30 March 2017
IF you aren't a Wes Bentley fan there is LITERALLY no reason to watch this film. He is the ONLY redeeming quality the film has to offer. He is great in pretty much everything he's in, so other than casting him in the psycho lead, there was nothing else to redeem it; this movie was awful on every level. They either paid Wes Bentley a ridiculous amount of money to act with the rest of the clown car full of so called "actors & actresses" in this horrible pile of drek, or he owed someone a HUGE favor. The kind of favor that involves saving someone's life, or the kind of favor that involves someone keeping a horrible secret you don't want another living soul to know about. Either way, he is the single solitary reason to waste an Hour and a Half of your life you'll never get back.

People are being WAY too harsh LOL

Okay, first off I want to say that as someone who was born and bred in a family of Trekkies( I would have been excommunicated from the family by my Uncles and Mom if they had not seen the love of TREK in meh) I am seriously amused by the critiquing of the sub par acting that is in this made for TV movie. I know most Trekkies want to forget...but the inescapable truth is that Shatner is the biggest HAM of all time, the only one who comes close to his level of HAM is the Great and Fabulous Adam West. You can tear apart this acting all you want, but the truth is this show reflects EXACTLY what the OG Star Trek was all about. I know it isn't done on purpose (hehehehe) but it is still as lovable as any of the Star Treks. I mean Come On Son, if you can find it in your heart to have a Trekkiesque love for Voyager, or delude yourself into thinking Shatner was anything more than a B actor (until his stint on Boston Legal and he owes a lot of that to his chemistry with Spader) than surely you can find it in your heart to show a little love for this Star Trek entry. Clearly it was an attempt to introduce a new series that never got picked up, but it still deserves a little love. It's worth viewing once just for the chance to see Xena's (Love me some Lucy Lawless) daughter playing Kahn's (Love me some Ricardo Montalbon even more) daughter. I've seen WAY better from the Trek Universe, but I've also seen Worse.
Great Episode with one minor flaw
22 March 2017
Fantastic episode that gives us a look into how things were on the space station during the occupation while the Cardassians were running it. The episode has a fantastic cold bleakness to it and highlights a storyline that sheds more light on Odo. Character development episodes are some of my favorites, I always enjoy an opportunity to glimpse the main characters as they were before we officially "met" them. My only problem with the episode is that at the very end they make Kira Nerys seem like a judgmental hypocrite. I find it incredibly annoying to listen to a person who is a self-admitted terrorist pass judgement on the past actions of her associates/friends, right or wrong. I think it's a injustice to an otherwise wonderful character. Other than that small point, I thought this episode was one of the better "darker" episodes. And the guest stars make this episode a 9 instead of a 7.5
