CSI - 'Malice in Wonderland'

I have given up complaining about puns in the titles of CSI episodes, but I will say this - Why are Miami's titles always more dramatic and serious? I thought Horatio was the lame-joke master? That should be switched around.
According the the promos, this episode is very trippy (weird timing, given Dr. Park's LSD-induced adventure on House a few weeks ago, but whatever) so I may need to stop if the colours give me a headache XD
OMG it's a wedding this is totally hilarious, and the catarpillar is the preist :P HOLY SHIT I will never look at the Cheshire Cat the same way again O.O he's shooting, along with the rabbit. Oh ny god they killed the groom/Mad Hatter that's so sad :(
Nick is such a sweetie talking to one of the witnesses...
And that poor bride! She says it's her fault that everything happened, cos Andrew (the victim) was just trying to protect her, and he saw her right before the wedding, which is bad luck! When I get married, I'm hiding in a closet until it's time to walk down the aisle, I don't want that crap happening!!
Lol Hodges needs a fake girlfriend to introduce to his mother.. He was dating Wendy tho! But then she left :/
And wtf? The guy was shot with a button?? Weird! Unless it was on his hat, and the bullet bounced off it but the button was forced into his head?
The catarpillar is actually a convicted felon lol, asks Sara if she's married (and for a second I was thinking 'no she's not' O.O Sorry Grissom!) and he says the robbers were very efficient, knew exactly what they were doing. But I've been wondering - why choose that wedding to rob? They weren't super-rich, other than the theme there was nothing in particular to say it was a fancy wedding where they could steal lots of valuables. Sara says that those robbers have definitely done it before.
And then we see some rich old man and a young lady in a car at one of those drive-thru wedding places, and I'm thinking 'oh crap I know where this is going'. Big black SUV pulls up behind them, as they're saying their vows we see a guy get out and start to walk around the car - suddenly there's one robber on each side of the car and they take all their stuff and their car. At least they didn't hurt anyone. Russell says those guys are starting to piss him off lol. And I think the couple is gonna start arguing about the value of the car and stuff (the ring was worth like $500,000!) and break up...
Lol Mandy is so helpful, getting Hodge's mother a full-access pass to the lab XD and she thinks he's more important than he is - then Morgan steps in and smooches him on the cheek hahaha he looked shocked but she's such a good actor! Especially considering she hates him even more than Mandy does!!
Wow the robbers used a WW2 weapon! Insane! And I was right! The button was from his hat!! Mwahaha!!! But the gun was loaded with blanks, and it was just the force of the blank round being fired, cos the gun was so close to his hat, which caused the button to become a 'projectile by proxy' as DB put it. So I guess the robbers didn't really intend on killing anyone! O.O
DB pointed out, too, what I did earlier (we are on the same wavelength, he and I) that the weddings seemed to be picked at random, because they were so different. Then Finn figures out the common denominator - the ring.
The lady at the jewelery store (who I'm pretty sure played Hotchner's wife on Criminal Minds) tells them that the ring is super-expensive but special, so there would be no way of reselling it because it's completely unique, everyone would recognize it. She also says that the woman who was marrying the old man has been in the store several times, buying various rings with various different men. Greg confronts her with the fraud story, and she admits to it but tells him she actually wanted to marry the last old guy.
And LMAO this is hilarious - Hodges' mom called up Ecklie to go to brunch with her and Hodges and Morgan - apparently he was 'excited, albeit a bit surprised'
Someone killed the Cheshire cat! They were melting down the stolen gold (so it would be untraceable) and then someone poured the molten gold down his throat - which is making me gag. But evidently he wasn't one of the partnership, which they somehow figured out based on the fact that it was fake gold down his throat (more gagging).
And duuude Hodges' mother is Jaclyn Smith!! As in, one of the original Charlie's Angels! And this brunch is super-awkward but incredibly hilarious and the women left Ecklie and Hodges alone teehee
OMG these guys are pros! They committed 3 consecutive robberies in Chicago, and 3 more in New York at a different time - holy shit the one guy was an ambulance driver so they knew how to avoid traffic, and nobody thought twice about seeing them! I actually had that thought once we saw him at the beginning lol, I was like 'what if that guy is in on it?' And he's married to the lady from the jewelery store (where, conveniently, Mrs. Hodges and her son are currently looking for an engagement ring (her idea). Uh-oh Hodges realised the connection between the denture cleaner found on the fraud lady's dress - they use it to clean rings at the store, and then he mentioned something about it and the wife pulled a gun and the other guy showed up and they are so creepy, especially her with her huge eyes looking like a cartoon character on crack. And then she shoots the security guard, just to prove they're not using blanks anymore! Why not just shoot Hodges, geez that move made no sense.
They all got to the jewelery store in time, the guard is ok, but the bad ambulance guys have a radio, meanign they know exactly where all the cops are. And Hodges is telling his mom that he's super-pathetic and then says 'I can't save us, all I have is a love for my job, and a very thorough knowledge of the physical limitations of duct tape' and he rips the tape off his hands and uses the fancy medicine to knock out the wife and grabs her gun. YAAAAY HODGES!! And thank god, Morgan figured out the radio and there are a whole bunch of cops blocking off the real ambulance. And everyone is OK :)
They found Alice's ring and Finn gave it back to her which makes me kinda sad because I'm sure she would rather have her fiance back alive than that ring :'( And awe they had an Alice-themed funeral too it's so sad

NCIS:LA - 'Vengeance'

You know a TV show is off to a promising start when something blows up within the first 5 seconds! :P
In this case, it's a bus/RV type thing... It's orange but it wasn't really shaped like a school bus, not that I got a good look at it before it exploded! Ok we get a better look as the dust settles, and it was, in fact a school bus, but it was an old retro-y-foreign-y one lol... And it was blown up, on purpose, by some army guys! With a giant rocketlauncher. Then they go to blow up the truck beside it, and - nothing. The guy in charge radios and asks to have the 'dud' of an explosive cleared out ASAP. The bomb guys go in using a robot with a camera, but they can't seem to find the shell... They find a dead guy instead.
Back in Ops, Eric is complaining about losing some video game, because a new player 'Hotshot7' keeps beating him. Sam and Callen find this entertaining - and even moreso when they find out that it's Hetty! And she was teaching Eric a lesson for playing video games on the big screen XD And she asks Callen and Sam to 'disarm' him so they take his Xbox and I laugh sooo hard XD
Turns out the dead guy was Ensign Powell, a communications specialist and was found in the training area at the army base. And Deeks craftily gets the car to himself by saying he wants to have a singalong road trip hahahah
They go out to the base and find out that Powell was killed from stabbing, and was dead ages before he was dumped on the artillery range. Sam comes to realise that the injuries on Powell's body indicate that he was killed by a Navy SEAL, or someone trained in the same manner. They also discover that Powell was a 'partier' (Clay Aiken's word from Celebrity Apprentice is making its way into my vocabulary lol) and supposedly a drug user. They find out that a team of SEALs (one of whom got into a fight with Powell abouut a month before his death) is about to take off for Afghanistan to rescue 2 hostages. They get irate when they find out that Callen and Sam are making them hold off their departure time in order to interview them.
One of the SEALs says that the entire team has an alibi for the night Powell was killed - they were at the movies in a nearby town. He denies knowing about the fight between Powell and one of the other SEALs, a guy named David Hodgkins. Hodgkins' ex-girlfriend left him for Powell, but Hodgkins still loved her. They got into a fight because Hodgkins saw Powell chatting up another girl at the bar, and he told him not to hurt the girlfriend, Justine.
Nell finds security footage of Powell leaving the base, going to a mail boxes store, and putting an envelope into his rented box. Hours later, a sketchy guy comes and retrieves the envelope. They go to the house where the sketchy guy lives, and someone shoots at Kensi and Callen through the front door. They bust in and kill two guys inside. A third breaks through the garage door and drives off (almost running over Deeks in the process).
Sam interviews one of the SEALs who had a knife similar to the one used to kill Powell. Kensi, who is watching via video feed, realises that they're 'making him interrogate his own family'. Sam asks the guy about the movie, and then they track down the girl who worked at the movie theater (she agrees with Deeks that Sour Patch Kids are the best movie candy lol) and she remembers seeing all 6 of them there, they were all flirting with a bunch of the theater employees, but she declined their offer to go party, because they were 'kinda old' (Deeks says 'ouch') and she say that some of them were actually married.
Callen still doesn't buy the SEALs' alibi, even tho the candy girl saw them before and after the film, they were trained to get in and out of countries, so a movie theater, in the dark, with plenty of exits would be no problem. And Callen finds a fence at the base which is cut and unmonitored by any camera. He apologetically tells Sam that it was possible for one or more of them to have killed Powell, but Sam still doesn't believe it.
Then Nell and Hetty inform them that the bad guys from the house were Pakistani spies, and that Powell must have been selling them inside information on the military. So probably the SEALs wouldn't have killed over jealousy (Powell taking someone's girlfriend), but 'they might kill a traitor'.
The guy who owned the knife decided to talk to Sam, and said he wanted to confess. He had found out about the exchange of information - but he had stabbed him in the altercation, then bound the wound because he thought it 'wasn't critical' and then realised that Powell somehow died while he was tied up - Foster had been searching his room for more evidence on the secret-selling, and when he turned around, Powell was not breathing. Sam doesn't believe he did all of it by himself, but the SEAL (Foster) says he confessed to protect the hostage-rescue mission, since he is under arrest, he believed that the rest of the officers would be free to go and rescue the hostages.
Eric tracked the missing Pakistani agent to a motel room, he was gone but had left his laptop (and a ton of bloodstained towels/sheets) behind. Then they realise that there is no Internet in the hotel room, they track him to a 'suspicious' Pakistani software company nearby, who has secure satellites and whatnot - Eric and Hetty realise that the guy is going to upload all of this secret information and 'THAT CANNOT HAPPEN!'
Sam is interrogating all the SEALs together, and all of their stories about the movie are identical, they all say 'he had a change of heart' about the plot. He shows them a knife which was used to kill Powell, and Foster goes 'wait a minute thats not my knife, I lost it in Kandahar!' One of the other guys says it must be a 'duplicate knife' and Sam points out that their story is totally unravelling. The 'duplicate' guy says he will tell Sam what happened, 'SEAL to SEAL', so Sam turns off all the cameras and destroys his microphone. They tell Sam what happened; they knew Powell had sold secrets about their mission - and that if word got out about it, the mission would be halted because of the breach in security, and the hostages would die.
Kensi and Deeks are at the communications firm, where the wounded agent shoots at them before they manage to kill him - and the info is uploading via satellite, Eric can't stop it so Deeks shoots the hell out of the hard drive hahaha genius! But there's no way to ensure that nothing got through - it was a secure network, that even my dear Eric can't hack.
Sam and Callen give permission for the SEALs to go on the mission - without their director knowing. Sam says 'without any physical evidence, I have no suspects at this time'
He gets back to Ops and Hetty beckons him (rather ominously). He tells her that she has no evidence r suspects - and that the recording system malfunctioned so there is no record of Foster's confession. Hetty says she can't let the men get away with it, and then when Eric says that their video feed from the rescue mission is up and running. Callen tells Hetty that the autopsy came back - Powell didn't die of the knife wound, he was asthmatic. He had a panic attack because he couldn't breathe (his mouth was taped) and he suffocated. The SEALs really had not intended to kill him.
Then they're watching the video and suddenly several of the SEALs are injured, before the feed cuts out. Hetty fear that the Taliban did know they were coming. Eric asks (sounding very scared and almost like he's about to cry) 'what's happening?' and they are all very silent because none of them know. Then suddenly Cllen points to the only functioning camera (the one stationed outside the place where the hostages were held) and he sees a SEAL emerge with the first hostage. Then another SEAL and another hostages, then two more SEALs - one of whom is supporting the other one, Foster, who can't walk. Eventually, they all emerge, and Sam looks very proud, but also like he's going to cry.
Hetty gasps and says 'Those men knew it could hve been a trap, but they went anyway.' and Sam replies 'That's what we do'. She then tells him that she's going to follow his recommendation, and close the case. He thanks her, and even though it's such a cliché, I teared up a little when she replied with 'no, Mr. Hanna. Thank you.'

CSI: Miami - 'Law and Disorder' (1?)

Finally, a pun title in Miami. (Although I am a bit surprised, none of the CSIs have used this before? With a combined 30 seasons, you'd think they would have...)
And based on the fact that the movie website where I'm watching this is referring to it as 'Law and Disorder (1)' I'm thinking it may be a cliffhanger, since it's apparently a 2-parter -.- IMDb lists it as the last episode of the season, but it's only the 18th and they haven't credited any of the actors or anything, so that just tells me someone is way behind at filling in the CSI: Miami profile page. And there's nothing on the show's Facebook profile about it being the season finale, so... (wow I really do my research about these things XD )
Opening with a bunch of people in a club (how cliche is that? Most of the Miami episodes begin either in a club or on the beach. It's like CSI beginning in a casino. Or a strip club.) and this one girl is really drunk and someone takes a picture (which sounded like gunshots for some reason) and she's stumbling around clearly in trouble... Some manager/employee guy tells her she needs to get some air and then you hear a car hit something and she's lying on the ground dead, the employee guy is running outside and there's another guy screaming to call 911. But it's the middle of the day! What kind of a club is that lol
The screaming guy was the driver of the car, he's in a huge panic and swears to Frank that he didn't see her in the street. Tom realises that she was dead before the car ran over her, and she was poisoned with a nerve agent, which is what caused her death (that is so scary... Club safety 101 - never let anyone else touch your drink!) and it wasn't the driver's fault, Horatio says they need to shut down the club (and not in a good way) because the killer could probably still be inside.
YEAAAAH!!
Walter's yelling through a megaphone that everyone needs to settle down and they can't leave before they have questioned every person. Apparently the employee guy was the bartender, so Delko checks her glass and everything, the bartender says she was coughing and slumped over when she got to the bar, but she had come from the direction of the bathroom. And Calleigh takes a phone call and says something about 'you already have my fingerprints, but I could provide a blood sample if you want' lol Delko eavesdrops and later asks her if she wants to be come a private detective, she laughs him off. They find the victim's purse in the the garbage can and the eyedrops inside test positive for a nerve agent called serin. (Ew, it'll be a long time before I can take any eyedrops without thinking of this). Tom worries that other people could have come into contact with it, and their lives may be in danger. The valet said he put a 'half-dead' woman into a cab, and she had all the same symptoms as the victim! And she gave him a 100$ bill for helping her - Walter tests thi bill and it has traces of serin on it. The valet panics that he'll get sick for touching the bill. Walter says what I realised - the valet is fine, otherwise he'd have symptoms. It's not like he licked the bill or anything.
Walter finds the cab company's dropoff location for that passenger, and Frank and Samantha go to investigate - it's an abandoned warehouse. Frank hears coughing and sobbing and finds the woman sitting in a bench, then the bitch attacks him! How strong is she?! Frank's huge! Then he trips her and she drops a vial of the toxin. She manages to get up and runs, but Samantha stops her :) They open her bag and find a bunch of cash and some wallets - Frank realises she's a 'trained professional' at somethingorother, she says she was hired to poison the girl from the club, and Frank says 'maybe our vic was not random'.
Natalia and Delko go to the vic's apartment and find a lot of books and Chinese takeout boxes, apparently she wrote for a small Miami newspaper, and they find a dress with seme on it. Delko goes outside and sees a couple violently arguing, he tries to break them up and the girl accidentally smacks him across the face, knocking him over (wow that's two big tough guys getting beat up by girls today, what is with this episode? hahaha not that i'm not enjoying it :P ). They tell him that Denise (the vic) was 'promiscuous', there was 'another guy every night' at her place. Calleigh patches up Delko's cheek (are they still dating? I can't remember how that played out) and tells him that she wants to adopt Austin North and his sister (and then she clears up my confusion, evidently the 2 of them are on and off and on and off lol but I love them together!)
Apparently the DNA belonged to a city councilor and Horatio has an interesting way of confronting him - during a news conference hahaha he yells out (with his back to the podium, no less) 'Were you involved in the murder of Denise?' The coucilor admits to sleeping with Denise, when she was writing a profile on him, but says it was a one-time thing. And his lawyer is that asshole Vogel! Grr Horatio told him to get outta town ages ago, but he has come back just to be a pain in the ass - along with that annoying woman who defended Esteban Navarro! (Of course those 2 are friends -.-) and he gets the semen evidence thrown out, because Delko had set down the (fully sealed, protected) evidence bag when he went to break up the argument! Sonofabitch!! Despite the fact that the councilor had already admitted to sleeping with the woman - I mean the evidence makes sense in that context, and there was nothing to prove that he had her killed, but the fact that he's now saying 'well guess what that evidence is invalid' makes me think he has more to hide.
Denise's articles are linked to Councillor Stafford covering up a bunch of cases - for example, a club owner killed a patron from his club, and Stafford had the street with the crime scene repaved the next day. And geez nobody notices blood and bullet casings on the road?? (Yay Josh/McPartlin again! I love that guy!) But ohdamn Vogel's back -.- And one of the casings they found is a .45, not a 9-mil, like the murder weapon. So he claims it must be cross-contamination. WTF??!!!
Walter and Delko look up all of Vogel's clients - they were all released due to insuficcient evidence, hung juries, FREAKIN TECHNICALITIES!! And Delko realises that the man who was having an argument with his girlfriend in the hallway was also a client of Vogel's, so he staged the fight to break the chain of custody!
Horatio figures out that Vogel blackmails his clients to help out his other clients, so they all go free, and Vogel makes more money. Horatio confronts the councilman, who says that yes, he knew about it, and Denise had caught on, so Vogel must have been the one who had her killed. The councilman is upset but says he can't help because he's afraid of what Vogel will do to him or his family. Natalia calls H to tell him that Vogel just showed up at the lab. They confront him and he says that his partner (the bitch woman-lawyer from last week) has something to confess - she says she did everything but she's staring off into space the whole time.
Then - SONOFABITCH! - they see Vogel on TV blabbing about how Samantha mishandled evidence, meaning that every case she's ever had a part in is now called into question, and as Samantha points out to Ryan, that means Esteban Navarro will walk. ANOTHER SONOFABITCH!
Then Ryan goes 'wait a second, you didn't screw up' but doesn't elaborate. Then we see Vogel having a chat with someone about ho busy his day was, but 'you would know that, wouldn't you?' and it flips back to Ryan says 'this evidence was planted by someone working close to us, who was working for Vogel.' NOOO I see where this is going :( He then asks her where she met her boyfriend and she stammers that she met him at the gym but he approached her. SHIT Vogel's talking to McPartlin's character, and we see a flashback of him switching out the evidence. And Vogel wants to make sure that 'Horatio Caine and his, CSIs, never bother this law firm or any of its clients ever again' HOW CAN THAT BASTARD (well both of them, actually) LIVE WITH HIMSEL(VES)????!!!!!
Awe this is so sweet - Sam is all sad and goes 'I'm done, I'm finished' and she looks so heartbroken and then Ryan hugs her (geez she's taller than him) and says 'not if I have anything to say about it' I LOVE HIM!!!
Aaaaand it's over. I have a feeling part 2 will be them taking down the aforementioned sons of bitches.
Until then, dear reader (I'm not assuming I have more than one haha) *sunglasses* stay cool.
YEAAAAH!

CSI: Miami - 'At Risk'

At risk of tennis injuries? Lotsa guys playing tennis, now one the coach's being informed that the lights in the locker room are burnt out - he goes and has a shower in the conveniently dark locker room and gets locked in and attacked by a crazy evil dog. The janitor goes in to help and gets attacked too!
LMAO of course they send Ryan in to deal with the dog haha and he's freaking out - until Walter gets the tranquilizer gun out, that is haha I love those guys.
So apparently the janitor is dead, the coach is all sad cos they were friends, and he says it was his routine, so someone clearly knew it, and tried to kill him. The janitor ended up dying because he saved the coach's life :(
Walter and Delko identify the dog using its implanted microchip - it was covered in scars, too. They go to the owner's place (a Mr. Torres) and accuse him of training the dog to fight - he says the dog, Brutus, was rescued from a dog fighting ring, just like all the other dogs he owns. But he says someone broke in and stole Brutus a few days earlier.
Natalia finds a broken raquet on the floor near the door to the locker room - they figure out that it was used to wedge in the handles to keep the door shut. With the help of Tom (who is apparently an epic tennis player, he plays Samantha on weekends - a fact which makes Ryan use his squeaky jealous voice XD ), they determine that the unique string tension settings on the raquet belong to a Jack Brody, a famous tennis player who's apparently in town, conveniently at the Academy where the attack happened. But he says that he hands out his raquests to fans after big games - so it could have been anybody (that seems kinda stupid to me, I mean how rich is this guy? Aren't tennis raquets expensive?) He also admits to going into the locker room because he heard the screaming, the janitor was already dead and the dog took a big bite out of his arm before he smacked it with the raquet - then it took off, and he called 911. Which makes no sense, if the dog took off, because didn't they find it back in the locker room when they got there??
Natalia found a peice of paper - a cheque, i think - on the floor of the locker room all torn up and she identifies it as having something to do with this rich, rediculously angry woman name Mrs. Wells who tracked down the coach (in the shower) to demand her money back because her son still sucks at tennis -.- The kid doesn't even like tennis!! But she's insistent, gee no wonder he sucks. And she proclaims 'I don't touch wild animals, I wear them' which seemed like a pretty solid excuse, even if it was disgusting...
The coach says that all the money paid by the parents goes to scholarship students, so Calleigh checks the list of incoming and outgoing expenses, and finds that one of the North kids (the foster ones with the crazy killer father) goes to camp there. They also find, from 10 years ago, $100,000 paid out for 'miscellaneous expenditures', and the employee helping them said he wasn't allowed to discuss what for. Calleigh asks a germaphobe receptionist (who keeps using sanitizer) if she can see Austin North, and she is told to come back later, because he doesn't have preactise until 3.
OHMYGOD they found a paper with the boxes of files - it's the transcript of a deposition, from 2002, of a kid saying that the coach molested him. This shit just got sick. The coach denies it, but the name of the kid was redacted so nobody can say who it was - even though he may be the killer.
Awwe Calleigh sees Austin at camp and I'm very confused he looks exactly like Parker from Bones! His foster mom isn't too happy to see Calleigh - even though Calleigh (vaguely) warns her about the molestation charges. She and Ryan find hand sanitizer on the envelope in which the deposition file was found (I knew that would be important). The receptionist says she wanted them to know about the allegations, but not to humiliate the poor boy again. Calleigh covinces her to give the name. It's the same guy (names Andrew) who had showed them the expenses ledger in the first place. And there's a Black Keys song playing in the background - we play it at work, it's awesome :)
They confront Andrew and he says he made it up - his parents forced him to, so they could get a payout. And the he says what I was just wondering 'If Coach Hopper really did those things, why would I still be working for him?'
Calleigh talks to Austin and he says that he likes Coack Jack (the famous player) the best of all the coaches, cos he always waits with him for his foster mom to come get him, and he (Jack) gave Austin a cell phone, saying he could call him anytime no matter what - and when Calleigh looks at the phone, Jack is the only contact listed. Austin asks her not to tell Brenda, the foster mom, and she says 'I'm sorry but I have to, and do you know why? You should never trust an adult who asks you to keep a secret for them. You didn't do anything wrong but he shouldn't do that.' and the look on his face just about broke my heart, cos he was clearly feeling guilty over the whole thing :( OK I also just IMDb'd him, and I was right he did play Parker, as well as was in the movie Yours, Mine and Ours (which I have seen like 20 times and love lol) and he is apparently the great, great-grandson of Babe Ruth XD that's so random but also so awesome! And I was also right in that he didn't play Austin North before, it was a different kid. (Ironically, 'North' is the last name of one of the families in Yours, Mine and Ours).
Natalia and Calleigh discuss the possibility that Jack is abusing boys. Tom and Walter find a peice of blue fabric in the bite wound on the victim's neck - fabric which matches Jack's jacket, which he admitted to, but Walter and Calleigh point out that he must have been bitten first, when he let the dog loose. They also confront him about Austin and he says that he gave him the phone because he wanted to support Austin and he hung out with him all the time to keep him away from Coach Hopper. He says he had known about the coach abusing boys when he had been in school, and saw him talking to Austin he confronted him, and the coach threatened his career, and everything and said that no matter what, he would still be in charge of that school.
Then Ryan and Samantha are loading evidence into a van and one of the police dogs tries to attack Ryan (he has bad luck with animals, that one) so they look at the evidence he was holding - the janitors jacket. It has traces of pheremones on it, which are used to provoke agression in dogs. So they wonder where it came from, because its presence would have certainly ensured the janitor's death - and prior to this, they assumed he was an innocent bystander who tried to intervene and got killed. Even when Jack Brody admitted to releasing the dog, he said the death of the janitor was an accident, that 'no one else was supposed to be there'. They go back to the dog-rescue guy. Turns out he had been Jack's roommate and he had been molested by the coach, then changed his name. And he had planted the pheremones on the janitor's jacket (unbeknownst to Jack) because the janitor had known about the molestation an had just stood by and let it happen.
Calleigh and Natalia discuss how horrifically wrong this case is - the two guys are going to jail and the abuse they were trying to prevent would be able to continue. Then they go back to Andrew and ask him to tell them the truth. He says he wants to help, but he signed a nodisclosure agreement after the court case so he can't say anything. Calleigh asks him if anything else had happed following the agreement, and therefore n ot covered by it (love that girl and her loopholes) and he stammers a yes. ]
Then we see the coach being arrested and lead out of the tennis club in front of a bunch of cameras - he asks Horatio to cover his face with a jacket and Horatio goes 'You've been covered up long enough' and turns away. As he's led through the crowd and people are screaming at him, you see a guy (but we don't know his identity) pull a gun out of his waistband and shoot. Coach Hopper drops to the ground, and Horatio turns around in slow-motion looking stunned. People scream. The credits show up.
I've gotta say, I kind of saw that (shooting) coming, once I realised he was being led out in such a public place, and to such outrage. I just hope that whoever did it gets a high-five for finally taking down such a sick bastard. Maybe there's a part 2 coming up?

How I Met Your Mother - 'Broath'

LMFAO Barney has a 'monk guy' haha of course this is actually a good start to an episode.
Plus Ted's name is Evelyn :P
And he can't keep a 'broath' to save his life... It looks so weird in that apartment now cos it's all Lily and Marshall's stuff but in Ted's old apartment. And Barney's whipped O.O And Marshall's telling sex stories about 'some chick' lol subtle, man XD
But omg this is so funny that Ted's staying in university housing and there are his, Lily's and Marshall's younger counterparts!! Also I definitely recognize that 'Ned' guy from somewhere... AH! I got it! It's the guy who plays Lucas from Pretty Little Liars!! But with glasses!! And Robin has issues!
Plus Lily's an epic snoop lol but poor Barney cos I thought they were just overreacting, based on the money-scam-'manager's watching' thing from last week, but then she supposedly got nicer, but now she's beign a total controlling bitch!
and YAAAYYY! The intervention banner's back!! Except now it's the 'Quinntervention' banner teehee I normally hate puns, but with Marshall delivering them, I actually kinda enjoy them :P
And Barney's mad than Evelyn broke the Broath, so he whips out a fake-history lesson... INVOILVING CEASAR AND NINJAS! Ok now I see where all those photos that NPH tweeted with the unconscious ninjas came from :P
But awe no the Hawaii trip was Quinn's surprise for Barney, so she wasn't using him entirely... And she's pissed!! And she slapped him really hard, that shoulda counted as one for the slap-bet haha (How many do they have left on that thing? 1? 2?).
Poor Robin - and poor Barney! Everyone's so sad!
Lol so he makes them all take another Broath - and makes Lily and Robin kiss lol awwwkward... HAHAH he makes Ted and Marshall kiss too XD but he didn't mean to do that, he was gonna make them bump fists!!!
AWWWW MAN they were messing with everyone! Super-clever-and-devious!!! I shoulda known, considering Barney's Scuba Diver routine, remember that?? One of my fave episodes ever :P And now they really are moving in together! Kinda odd but cute... Robin got promoted!! And Ted gets Quinn's apartment! But it's so cool, I'm looking forward to that one..
And Marshall and Lily are so incredibly cute together lol and they're funny too - one of my fave TV couples.
Hahahaha now the university students are filling in like his kids 'your stories are waaay too long, man'.

CSI - 'Trends with Benefits'

A weird title, but anyway...
We open and see a young man falling through the air... And he's falling... And he's falling... And there's nothing behind him, just a dark sky... And he's falling some more... And he lands, in a pool -.-
And there are tons of people partying and dancing, and HEY THAT'S THE CUTE GUY FROM PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!! The one who likes to get beat up, they're sharing a lot of cast this season...
And OMG THAT'S CHELSEA STAUB/KANE!! Lol she's playing this apparently famous girl who these creepy drunk jerks are hitting on... She gives them an 'autograph' that says 'screw you' and storms off lol good for her.. Apparently her boyfriend is one of the jerky frat boys hosting the party, and Shane Coffey (the PLL guy) is her friend who may or may not be gay (I'm not taking the frat boys' comment's seriously..) but oh crap I bet he's the one who dies :( Everyone there is making a big deal out of the fact that she (Chelsea's character)'s apparently a virgin, and jeez there's some girl from Secret Life of the American Teenager (Which I am proud to say I have never watched in my life).
Damn I was right it is Shane's character who dies, he still doesn't have a name tho... Apparently he fell over 32 feet from a bridge to a 'broken neck' on the ground below.. And it looks like there was a struggle, indicating he was probably pushed. And his name's Pete Moyer. He was beaten up shortly before he died, too, which would explain why he had a cut on his lip, when he was walking around at the party. Hey we finally get to see Russel's son again! He shows them WLVU equivalent of Twitter, where someone with the tag name 'Voyeur4U' had posted a picture of the dead kid BEFORE anyone had even called 911!
Apparently Pete didn't even try to fight back when he was beat up :( And he was actually gay, had a gossip vlog (which explains why someone at the party called him 'gossip girl'..) some Sebastian jackass kept posting homophobic comments and threats on his website - and the Voyeur4U guy was the victim, someone posted the picture of his dead body using his own phone!! Greg and Nick tracked down the phone, found it in the posession of the same Sebastian from the website - turns out he's also gay O.O now this is confusing... BUT he admitted to finding Pete dead, taking the picture and posting it - and then calling 911, but not until he got back to his dorm room. He also says Pete had some 'dirt' on some juicy scandal that he was going to spill the beans on soon - and that's probably what got him killed. Also, all his stuff from his room got stolen.
Wow he's actually a total jackass in his vlog - and he wiggles back and forth as he's talking lol. There are pictures of him with Chelsea's character Brooke, arguing, and then they interview her and she doesn't seem so broken up about her friend dying... Also her boyfriend's a tool, saying that Pete was 'a nobody who was trying to become a somebody' and he doesn't let Brooke speak for herself.
Greg and Russel are going thru Pete's stuff and they find an A+ paperon phone hacking for some class called 'Anthropology and Fame' taught by a guy who had his own TV show.. Something TMZ-esque, from the gist I got... (Too busy looking at Greg to actually hear what he was saying XD ) Ah they go to visit him and he's British, too, telling all these kids how 'gossip is good for society'. He says that Pete never tried to hack a phone, that 'he's a student, not an employee'
Nick and Russel find a flash drive full of photos of students, including some pretty typical, harmless ones of Brooke - and one of her boyfriend, Jake, cuddling shirtless with Sebastian :O The boyfriend had stolen the computer in order to make sure the photos didn't go public, but said he wasn't gay. They also found a transmitter recieving live video stream from a room somewhere on campus. Then Morgan shows up with Brooke wanting to talk to Finn - and to tell them that she was hanging out with Jake all night, so he couldn't've killed Pete. She said she and Pete had been arguing about his professor, who apparently was a total jerk.
Greg and Archie figure out that the camera was in his professor's office - and they go visit and figure out that it's aimed at the couch O.O Russell confronts the prof and Greg and Nick find cleaned-up blood on the floor, and 'other' stains on the couch... But the prof says everything was consensual (Nick says there were 7, female, students) altho that's not enough to create a huge scandal - so even if Pete had placed the camera to catch him in that act, it's entirely likely that he ended up catching something far worse.
Finn and Morgan go into the class to take DNA samples from the classmates (lying about the reason, but they're so sneaky-genius!) The girl from Secret Life acknowledges having sex with her teacher in exchange for a good grade. Then one of the girls, named Ashley, says that she did too, but it wasn't consensual, and Pete found out about it but didn't want to help her, he was going to tell the whole school and inevitably embarass her. Then she shouts that she was the one who killed Pete, she pushed him off the bridge. The CSIs find a video on Pete's encrypted hard drive of the professor attacking Ashley, then Greg comes in to report that he found Ashley's prints matching ones on a lamppost on the bridge Pete fell off of. They do a re-enactment based on the position of the fingerprints that shows that Ashley was going to jump off the bridge. She tells Finn that Pete had planned on posting the video on his blog but he followed her to the bridge and then changed his mind and tried to talk her down from the ledge. Then she noticed that he had his phone out and he was recording or something, so she tried to kick it out of his hand and he lost his balance and fell. Ashley says she doesn't want to testify against the professor, because she doesn't want people to know and embarass her. Finn and Russell are outraged that he's going to get away with it - then Russell's son shows him that the fact of the rape (without the name of the student involved) is all over the internet, and the professor's been suspended. So at least some justice was served. This episode was pretty tragic :'(

CSI - 'CSI Unplugged'

Oooh Las Vegas CSI in the dark, eh? This'll be good :P
We open with a little boy who loves space being tucked into bed by... His sister? Babysitter? I'm praying nothing happens to them.. Then we see blood on the mobile and then the bed - which is empty. According to Russel, the girl was his nanny and she's missing, too. The boy's father, Mr. Riordan discovered them missing - said he was asleep but he was dressed in a tuxedo -.- Asleep, my ass.
There's blood on the ceiling in the boy's room - but more importantly, Saturn's missing from his mobile lol
Hodges gets into an elevator with Henry lol uh-oh I can see where that's going
Finn finds a print in the blood, she sends it to Morgan who's running it when the computer goes in the fritz and all the lights in the WHOLE CITY go out woah it's eerie but kinda cool :P 'All the -ISes are down' lol they can't run any evidence, that's unfortunate... Henry's desperately trying to break out of the elevator lol I don't blame him - but I don't understand how Hodges gets cell reception in an elevator that's part of an underground parking garage. INCONSISTENCIES!
Finn notices that a rug from the boy's bedroom is missing - makes sense that the kid would have been wrapped up in it. And apparently the dad was dressed in his tux and asleep because he fell was going to go out but he fell asleep watching TV. And they find out that his wife had died 5 years ago.
Finn thinks the father may have abused the boy, he said that Harper (the kid) had fallen and cut his chin, so they use that bandage to do blood-typing analysis - and the blood isn't Harper's. Then Nick and Sara find Saturn lying in some bushes along a path behind the house - next to it is the rolled up carpet from the bedroom, which they unroll to find the nanny - dead. And there's a knife and a note with 'We have Harper', written in blood. David makes some crazy light-in-a-bottle contraption so that Doc Robbins can do the autopsy.
Morgan can't figure out what the white powder from the bedroom is, so Greg suggests she use a super-retro microscope from the display case at the lab. Aaand Henry and Hodges can't get out of their 'metal box', because the elevator techs are, themselves, stuck in a metal box at the Palermo... Oh, irony! But they need to get the evidence out somehow, so that Morgan and Greg can analyse it - And Henry has to pee.
Morgan discovers that the powder contains traces of some drug (whose name I didn't catch) that can be used as a painkiller or a sedative - and the father had the drug in his medicine cabinet. Also, there was blood on the HANDLE of the knife used to kill the nanny which matched the father's blood type. So they haul him all the way over to the station, just to interrogate him - even though they could have just done that when they were already at the house -.- Turns out his wife had drowned 'suspiciously' in their pool, something which makes Brass believe that the father had killed her in a fit of rage, and he had done the same to the nanny - then disposed of his son, who was the only witness. BUT HOLY CRAP the wife wasn't Harper's real mother, in fact the nanny, Shelby was his mother - wihch is even more motive to kill the wife!
The father says that the knife was his and he used it to cut himself to make a 'sacrifice' to the dead during a séance in an effort to contact his dead wife.
And they find a fingerprint on the headboard matching a fingerprint on the 'we have Harper' note but not matching the father's. And then the kidnapper calls the father, demanding money to be delivered at 8 a.m. Then D.B. talks to Riordan's mother-in-law, who was at the séance, and apparently knew that Rearden kept $2 million worth of his wife's jewelery in his safe. Brass, being his usual awesome sarcastic self, interviews the medium and she says that the wife's spirit said something about Riordan needing to 'find peace', which upset him.
Brass and Nick are watching Riordan make the ransom drop (not hiding very well, if these kidnappers are smart they woulda noticed them - and it's the morning, the storm is over, how is the power not back on by now??!!) and some guy in a red hat gets out of a van which was parked the whole 20+ minutes they were sitting there, crosses the garage to Riordan and takes him back over to the van. Riordan gets into the back of the van, and they pull away, Nick notices that the back window is missing, and they run over to the wall where Nick sees some rappeling gear on the ground beside the building. They stop the van and it's Riordan, the father driving! Apparently red-hat man gave him an address and told him he would find Harper there. Then they hear gunshots from down the street, and find red-hat man dead in a different van with the case full of jewels in the backseat. Riordan's all upset cos he thinks that they got his son killed - apparently red-hat guy's fingerprints matched the ones from the house, but the address he had given the father was a vacant lot anyway, so that's a dead end.
They figure out that some of the jewelery was missing, but only Natalie (the wife)'s wedding ring - and they notice that the nanny couldn't have possibly been Harper's biological mother, because their bloodtypes are not compatible for a mother and son. He was actually Natalie's, but Shelby was a surrogate. And Riordan covered that up - which makes no sense, because that's significantly less scandalous than him having an affair -.-
Apparently Natalie had thrown her wedding ring in the pool after having a drunken fight with her husband, and then after they made up she jumped into the pool to retrieve the ring, but she was still drunk and drowned. Evidently someone using her name had also sent a wire transfer of $10,000 to red-hat guy. Aaaand it turns out it was actually the medium, Karen, pretending to be Natalie. They go to her house and find a bunch of Natalie's stuff, and they realise that she was crazy and thought she was Natalie, which is why she killed Shelby and took Harper. But Harper's OK, they found him in a closet in Karen's house.
As for Karen, she was facedown in Riordan's pool wearing Natalie's dress - and wedding ring. Psycho.
Happy ending, for the most part, though. Thank goodness.
And Henry and Hodges are finally out of that elevator :P

CSI: Miami - 'Rest in Pieces'

The title of this episode gives me the feeling I'm going to lose my lunch... Good thing I haven't eaten lunch today!
We open with the very horror-movie-esque visual of the sun setting (rising?) over a giant feild of dirt. Then (dun-dunnn) a hand pokes up out of the dirt and begins clawing at the ground around itself. Eventually, a young man (late teens? Early 20s?) emerges, covered in sand and gasping for air. Which makes me wonder - Was he buried alive? For how long? He must've been unconscious if he was buried so close to the surface with nothing tying him up, or keeping him captive... But if he was unconscious, how did he not die by inhaling a bunch of soil? (All this pondering has been going on while I have the video paused, waiting for it to load.) He's stumbling around and gasping and choking and keeps screaming 'CHELSEA!!' - I'm guessing she's dead. Or he's gonna die. I hope not the second option -.-
How can nobody hear him? He's on a beach, there are houses... The sun was apparently rising, cos it's daylight now and we can see that he's covered in blood... Was he stabbed? Shot? What the hell's going on? He's crossing a road, there are cars! For Pete's sake, someone STOP and help him, he's covered in blood, don't just honk!
Ok then we see Horatio standing on the beach next to a pile of dirt and blood but not looking at it -.- Oh Horatio you are such a thoughtful one. Walter tells him that the kid's going to the hospital, he was stabbed in the stomach (hence the bleeding and gasping) and then they see a second mound of dirt - it's Chelsea. She's dead. Killed by the exact M.O. as that bastard serial killer, Esteban, that they've been chasing all season. Tm goes 'this sonofabitch needs to be stopped' and then a helicopter interrupts Horatio's delivery of his sunglasses line, which was no doubt 'And stopped - he will be'. The chopper blows up a shitload of sand and contaminates the crime scene and pisses off H who runs over to investigate and finds some rich old lady who informs him that it's her land and she's Esteban's grandmother, and she's there to protect her business from all this 'bad publicity'. But she seems kinda cooperative, says she'll follow their investigation wherever it leads, not like the rest of his family who wishes to protect the bastard O.O
YEAAAAH!!
Frank's talking to Esteban in a lineup and he's being a jerk (as per usual), sucking on some lollipop which Frank pulls out of his mouth and sticks in his pocket, only to have the jackass refer to that as 'police brutality' and me go 'PFFFT'. Then they bring in the poor kid who was all beat-up, turns out Chelsea was his girlfriend, and she'd had a tough life, used to be a prostitute - and she was only nineteen :( The guy identifies Esteban as the guy who attacked them! GOTCHA!
Frick now the grandmother's getting indignant cos he was the only Latino in the lineup, which is apparently 'racial profiling'.
Uh-oh Tom and Walter were still at the crime scene when they see a crab running around with a human fingerbone - not Chelsea's. And they dig up a second body, skeletized. Damn, where's Bones when you need her?? Luckily, Tom knows his stuff! It's a guy - Walter is confused cos all of Esteban's victims were female. But just because it was found on his family's land doesn't mean he killed the person. But the guy was killed by being shot in the head - and the bullet matches a gun belonging to Esteban's father, Diego!!
They're driving, and they're going to arrest him... And they find him arguing with his mother. She says he has 'no spine'. I was gonna go with 'no heart' but sure, let's just imply that his torso is entirely empty. Guy says he owned a gun, sure, but years ago (why do people always say they 'lost' or misplaced their guns? You'd think they would want to keep track of something like that...) Horatio says 'years ago' is exactly when this guy was killed, HAHA! So Frank arrests him and somehow manages to hide the glee in his voice. And Horatio 'has a look around'. The backyard is weird, it's got a bunch of moss and old-looking stuff which looks almost rundown. Then Horatio takes a seat and happens to find something in the firepit - a women's shoe heel that's been burned, and the grandma denies that it's hers.
Eric knows nothing about shoes so he calls in Calleigh and they find a shoe online that matches the description of the heel. Eric wants to talk to Elizabeth his friend the hooker and Calleigh says it's not a good idea but he does it anyway. She says the shoes were actually hers, but she loaned them to her friend Chelsea and then starts crying once she figures out what happened. Eric tells her what they've discovered so far, and I think if he keeps bringing her in on these cases she's gonna take matters into her own hands. He asks her to testify and she agrees... And hey the prosecution lawyer is Samantha's boyfriend, played by Ryan McPartlin (aka Dr. Awesome from Chuck)! I'm glad he's got a recurring role on another TV show I watch, he's so cute!
Ohdamn bitch defense lawyer is acting like Delko has a personal relationship with Elizabeth - he's protecting her from a dangerous life, what the hell's your problem??!! It's the only evidence connecting the bastard to the murder! IT STILL EXISTS THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE DIDN'T KILL HER!!! YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE TRUTH BASED ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION!!!! Aaaagh this kind of thing makes me so pissed, even on TV. I want to punch something.
Leave it to the girls to save the day - Calleigh and Natalia go back to the beach and sift through the sand in order to try to find evidence tying Diego to the second, male body.  It's really bugging me that we don't know who this guy is... Anyway, they find a lapel pin that matches the yacht club Diego belonged to years ago. Natalia confronts the mother, she takes off and then confronts Diego - evidently she knew about the murder all along -  and he breaks a bottle and chases her down. She calls Horatio, who arrives to find her sobbing and kneeling over Diego, who is bleeding. I have a feeling he's not gonna make it.
Damn why do commercial breaks arrive in the middle of something suspenseful, then when the show comes back, it's something completely different??! Tom's doing some sciency stuff related to the skeleton from the beach. He says he'll have a good DNA sample but nothing to compare it to - then Horatio says 'here, compare it to this blood from Diego'.
Walter and Ryan at the hospital find a lollipop in Diego's pocket, like the one Esteban was sucking on earlier. Ryan takes a closer look at it (Walter's teasing him) and realises it's plastic and there's something it. Cue David, the cute tech guy, who informs them that it's some kind of fancy data-storage device containing.... Code, and Ryan apparently 'knows code' lol they're so competitive I love them. The code contains an address that they go to AND THEY'RE BEING WATCHED BY A SECURITY CAMERA!! Creepy! It's this big warehouse-type building which is half-empty, and there's a really old car and some random stuff that we can't see in the other half.. Ryan finds stairs and downstairs is soundproofed and full of surgical stuff O.O It's the 'killing chamber' ugh I usually have a pretty strong stomach but this is making even me squirm - particularly all the victim's eyeballs in a jar. There were more than 6 there though! Esteban/Diego/whoever only killed 3 women (that they know of!).
Horatio gets his labcoat on, and he finds something inside the lid of the eyeball jar - a bit of a latex glove, which Natalia analyses. Then we're back in court (Hi McPartlin!) and Esteban snickers when the jar of eyeballs is mentioned - then his bitch lawyer stands up and asks as to its 'relevancy' - first of all, that's not a word, lady, and second of all IT'S WHAT TIES THE VICTIMS TO THE CRIME SCENE, SO DUH! Also, I think they should admit his sick little snicker (everyone saw it) as evidence as to what sort of twisted, sadistic bastard he is. TADAAAH HORATIO'S NAILED THE BASTARD!!!! The DNA on the glove bit was Esteban's!!!! So he's going on trial - and then going to jail! Wait they have the death penalty in Florida, right? And Esteban jumps up all indignant but haughty-like and proclaims for all to hear that 'this will not stand' and starts shouting about how he's sent tons of gifts to the judge, etc -.- But then Horatio tells the grandmother that Diego's gonna live but she can't go see him...
AND THEN Natalia figures out that the skeleton was Diego's father and his mother's wife - she was the one who killed him, using her son's gun and then he was buried by her and Diego. And she shot Diego, she didn't lock herself in the bathroom like they told Horatio, she had left the door unlocked - the evidence doesn't lie. But she goes on the run and Horatio yells at her over the phone while she's drinking champagne on her private plane. That family is utterly insane and murderous. And it closes out with a shot of Diego lying in his hospital bed, and this song that I love and we play at my work by Florence and the Machine - epic song for an epic episode :)

NCIS: LA - 'The Dragon and the Fairy'

Whoever wrote this episode deserves an Emmy. Or a Golden Globe. Hell, they deserve ALL the awards for the opening basketball scene alone! XD
This case is kind of sad though - I hate hearing about corrupt governments, immigrant workers being taken advantage of - it's really tragic :(
The victim gets taken to hospital and his boss/lawyer (not sure) lady shows up and acts as translator for him but he doesn't know anything, including any English.
Deeks and Kensi go to visit the Vietnamese consulate where the victim was shot, and just as they're driving down the street a car directly in front of the consulate explodes - surprising me lol I definitely saw it coming based on the camera angle as they were coming down the street, but I still jumped!
The boss lady turns out to be the owner of a sweat shop, and the shooting victim's back to work already! Suspicious! Also, Sam is so not convincing as a lost tourist hahaha
The guy who they get to use as a translator, the one whose name was on a slip of paper in the vitims pocket, he seemed 'off'? I'm not sure how... Not really distracted or like he was hiding something... But I guess Sam's better at reading people than I am lol - or the guy just didn't act very well.
I'm expecting some sort of secret message to be sewn into Sam's new shirt haha - desperate people can be sneaky!
And I don't know why Vietnamese people speak French... But whatever. At least she can understand Kensi!
LMAO I love Deeks! He brings Monty back, uses him to apprehend a suspect, this is the funniest episode ever!! 'Elmo rocks' indeed.
Who is this Joe Sachs guy?? The writer, I mean. I want to high-five him. (Thank you IMDb for that information) Apparently he wrote a past episode as well- and a future one! Can't wait!
OMG then the bad guys set fire to their huge (secret, second) garment factory - which doesn't make sense, cos only one of the workers talked to police, even if they didn't believe him, they coulda just killed him, not everyone - why torch your meal ticket? And all the equipment... I guess they weren't taking any chances. And the doors were locked, with bars on the window, my mom was on the verge of tears seeing that, it was utterly disturbing that people would do something like that. But Sam drove the giant SUV (luckily they were driving that instead of their little sports car lol) right through the door and freed everyone!
And then it turns out that the lady who owned the sweatshop, it was her husband who had built the carbomb adn whatnot, so they go and try to find him, get shot at by a bunch of evil dudes, and tear up the giant house with their weapons - I noticed a harp just randomly chilling in the living room, that's how rich these people are! hahah but the wife is dead and they shoot the husband climbing down a rope ladder, from which he dangles (as my mom put it, rather 'ungracefully') after getting his foot caught.
THEN it turns out that the shooting vic is the housekeeper's son, and she, in turn, is the daughter of the soldier translator guy! I went 'OMG' and my dad made fun of me for not having seen that coming -.-
So at least they can stay in the States, because technically, they're both part American!
Aaaand Hetty is a super-professional referee of their basketball game and Eric has plastic goggles cos he sucks like the big adorable nerd he is :P
I loved it.

CSI: Miami - 'No Good Deed'

We open with a surfer guy paddling through the water, standing on his board... They he hits something... aaand OHNO SHARK FIN!!! SWIIMM SURFERGUY SWIM!!!! And a boat comes charging right at him!! OHSHIT!! I hate these episodes where we actually see the people at the beginning die, rather than just strolling along and 'ohlook we found a body'.
'That boat is our murder weapon' YEEEAAAHH! Where were the sunglasses??!
How'd they even find the boat? It's the right one, but they can't see any signs of a collision, but WHERE WAS IT?! And it was stolen, shocking -.- Hey jerkface boat owner, it's illegal to drive a boat drunk... Serves him right that it was stolen!
The son looks so pissed I feel bad for him, his father's dead, his parents are divorced and his dog's sick... Agh barking dogs are so annoying I have one next door that wakes me up in the middle of the night >.<
And all those men walking to and from her house? Is she a hooker? Answers the door in some kind of nightgown... I'm going with hooker. And the father had no clue haha
I love Ryan's face when he's interviewing the dirtbag lol it's a cross between sarcasm and boredom and skepticism he's so funny :P And his eyebrows! How did I not notice that before?
Apparently the victim was going to blow the whistle on something, it was worrying him apparently... Maybe that's the 'good deed' the episode title refers to. And of course, it doesn't go unpunished, cos he's dead!!
Ooh flirty moment with Samantha wiping fingerprint powder off Ryan's face hahah
And Calleigh's bonding with the dead guy's kid, that's sad but touching
How do they have a fancy scanner gun to tell them the chemical components of a sample?? And on Bones they still use GC-Mass Spec machines?? This show gets more and more sci-fi every episode, I swear...
Wow and this residential development company is spray-painting the grass green, that's so stupid why do they care about appearances that much?? It's like the Beijing Olympics all over again! And they bought contaminated land so that they could buy it cheaply and sell it for a huge profit - that's so awful I want to spit! They were gonna kill their customers! Like cigarette companies!
How exactly do you plan to get 'leverage', Horatio?
And omfg what are the odds of them opening the car just as the vic's cell inside the car gets a phone call from an abducted kid?? Haha Dave (the cute tech guy) called some dude a 'creepster' XD
They get some tow-truck driver from the surveillance tape to give them information about the kidnapper's car and where it went
Ahh of course it's a drug-gang thing, poor kid I hope they'll find him alright... And they do but now the 'creepster' is holding Walter at knifepoint... Lol H is so slick I would want him to come in and rescue me if I were kidnapped!!
Aww shit it was the tow-truck driver who did it!! He got fired from his job cos he cut off the victim in traffic the day before, and then the victim reported it, so he followed him O.o How'd he figure out who he was? I mean he told the call-center operator but I still don't get it!!
LMAO Ryan so cute doesn't know how to say things properly.. He coulda been sarcastic about it lol but he failed... And ouch Samantha has a boyfriend!! OMG IT'S 'AWESOME' AKA DEVIN FROM CHUCK!!! I LOVE THAT GUY!!! And wow he's tall... Or Ryan's short lol
It's so awful that he was killed because he reported some trucker for being a bad driver! My mom does that kind of thing! Now I'm worried...
But this is so sad, Calleigh's pointing out all the crimes and tragedies that the victim had prevented... The drug ring, the poisonous housing development, (even, accidentally, the hooker) and the son's crying :'(
'My dad was a hero.'

Lol yes, smoked meat is totally a good way to fill that empty room. I'll keep that in mind for the future XD
Lol of course they made a 'Destiny-as-stripper' joke hahah

And Marshall and Lily need to move back to New York! They belong at the bar!!!
But of course Barney runs into her at the coffee shop... That was some witty banter he took part in!
Ted sucks at building/making stuff lol makes me think of the coffee table that he and Marshall assembled using wood glue - 'It'll hold'. It did not hold.
BUT HOLY SHIT TED MOVED OUT OF THE APARTMENT HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??!! WHERE'S HE GONNA GO??!! THAT WHOLE SET NEEDS TO BE REDECORATED NOW AND OMG AND I'M FREAKING OUT THIS IS LIKE WHEN THE GUYS AND THE GIRLS FROM 'FRIENDS' SWITCHED APARTMENTS cos the girls lost a bet and all the furniture and everything was swapped and Monica redecorated the guys'... STILL SO WEIRD

SNL - Lindsey Lohan

I was a bit apprehensive of this episode, I've never really liked Lindsey Lohan, once she became all drug-addled and 'troubled'... But this episode was actually pretty good!
I loved the cold open, again with Mitt Romney trying to prove he's a real person lol...
And the monologue was actually HILARIOUS cos they were all 'checking up' on her to make sure she wasn't under the influence of something... (Did anyone else notice she kept calling Kristen Wiig 'Kirsten'? Weird.) And then Jimmy Fallon showed up! And John Hamm made a cameo! It was funny :)
The Real Housewives of Disney was pretty funny but also freaked me out cos of so many ruined shildhood memories...
The Psychic Awards sketch was a neat concept but kinda predictable (no pun intended).. And then the audience dies? What?
I was so excited they did the Scared Straight sketch, that's one of my fave recurring sketches!! 'This here is real!' And they mentioned Forrest Gump lol.. And then proceeded to make it really disgusting -.- HOWEVER I always love when the actors make themselves laugh, they always do that for some reason with this sketch and this time was no exception... At the end, Jason Sudekis sat on SOMETHING, I don't even know, he knocked something off the desk or something? Made a loud noise, he starts chuckling but not out loud, his face is all screwed up trying so hard not to laugh and then he chokes out his next line, it pans over to Bill Hader, Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynehan (spelling?) and they're all LAUGHING so hard it was awesome!!
The Delinquent Girl Teen gang, again, had a good concept but it just kept GOING and GOING and how many times are they gonna make Fred Armisen dress like a girl??
The 'Afros' Digital Short was so funny and then they got to the end and it was a wedding invitation? That confused me... But it was still funny :P
BY FAR my fave part of this episode was the crazy radio station sketch with 'The Buffalo' and 'Illiterate Lisa' and that other dude... It was rediculous but so funny! About how early it was, and she's SO illiterate, and nobody ever calls to win anything... that was EPIC!!!
I also really enjoyed the one about house-sitting, where Kristen Wiig's character was accidentally butt-dialing herself the whole time, then freaking out because there was nobody there!
Rude Buddha had a funny theme song but it was super-weird... Also, I love how he has a female 'follower' who looks so out of it the whole time... Hahaha 'the Facts of Life' song XD and OMG they actually could hear him! Haha that was weird but good
I liked the weird guy by a fire.
WAIT THERE'S MORE OF THE WEIRD GUY! And haha he got burned XD lol there's no reason for this but it's wonderful
Weekend update time! :) See, I am not American, so I don't follow their politics, but at least I know that we make fun of Mitt Romney for being rich and creepy! And I feel so bad for Snooki's baby O.o nobody should let her procreate... Haha yay James Carville! He would be King of the Snakes teehee and this blog window is blocking half my screen lol so I can't see Seth but I can see James/Bill doing some little dances and shuffling his hands LMAO I love him XD and he dated Newt Gingrich haha
You can't name a bridge after Chuck Norris... Because nobody crosses Chuck Norris TEEHEE I LOVE YOU SETH and Chimpanzee Jesus is a brilliant concept!
It's Bobby/Snooki!! And hahaha Seth missed his chance with her lol poor guy... At least all she's drinking is V8, Red Bull, and Jacuzzi water O.o JOHN HAMM'S THE FATHER I'M DYING OF LAUGHER!!!! Random plug for The Lorax haha is Bobby Moynehan in that movie? I know 2 other ppl who are/were on SNL are in it... Hmm anyway it's a good movie I reccommend it haha

CSI: Miami - 'Last Straw'

My first thought when seeing the opening part of this was 'DON'T HURT THE HORSIE!!!' lol I have such a soft spot for animals, and horses are just so beautiful (and for the most part, calm...) Anyway, guy driving in his truck with country music blaring (in FLORIDA?) sees horse running rampant, calls 911 says there's 'blood on the saddle and the rider's missing, you better get somebody down here quick!'
So they send Ryan. On his own. Where's Animal Control? Or a vet? Or somebody with a tranquilizer dart? And the horse keeps rearing back and he's shouting and now I'm thinking 'DON'T HURT THE HORSIE!! OR RYAN!!!!' I think there's something wrong with its front hoof, the way it's keeping it off the ground and keeps pawing with the left one when it's actually on the ground, it doesn't want to put any weight on it.  :/ Calleigh to the rescue haha of course Texas girl knows what she's doing :P
Ryan goes walking back the way the horse came, and finds a dead girl lying on the ground with rope tied around her neck - rope that matches the stuff tied around the horse. Horatio (standing sideways) says that the killer tied the rope around the girl, over the tree branch, and then around the horse, so that as the horse walked away, it pulled her up and hung her. 'He wanted her to suffer. And so will he.' *sunglasses on* YEAAAAAH!
Owner of the stable knows nothing, ask her daughter, she doesn't know much either, horse's name was Chestnut and the dead girl (Cassidy) came to the stable every morning to ride him, but earlier than either the owner or her daughter would be there. Tom and Calleigh find a sorority necklace, Phi Gamma Alpha, on the dead girl, even though she was too old to be in university - and then Eric and Horatio find a condom wrapper in the horse's stable O.O
Based on her autopsy, they think she might've been raped, but they find a hair that would help them identify who. Some cute but dirtbaggy guy says he always had sex with her at the stable, but consensually... But he was also in the DNA system for statutory rape, so geeee who do we believe?
Ryan and the new girl, Samantha, are out 'in the field' (Literally haha) looking for evidence... And he found a half-eaten chili dog which may have given him 'food poisoning by proxy' hahahah it's so gross... Then she found a rock with blood on it which they figure might have been used to hit Cassidy over the head so she was unconscious when she was tied up. And then Ryan goes 'omg there's a snake behind you!' and Samantha bends over to look at it more closely he practically squeals 'Don't touch the snake!' hahahaha it turns out to be a riding crop XD with the initials 'R.P.' engraved on the side.
Walter and Calleigh go to the sorority, where some lady is teaching the girls how to sip through a straw... WOAH the sipping lady was Frannie from Greek! Weird that she always gets cast as a sorority type lol she's gorgeous but also kinda sneaky-looking... Maybe that's just cos I remember as the devilish Frannie. It was in fact her riding crop, she says she musta dropped it the day before when she was out riding, with Cassidy, like every day, but she wasnt there that day cos she was in court going thru a divorce - TO MICKEY QUINN THE SAME CREEPER WHO ADMITTED TO SLEEPING WITH CASSIDY!! But wait, if he slept with her, that obviously means he wasn't in court that day... Weird. Ooh bad pun by Walter involving 'roll in the hay'.
Hmm they both had alibies for the time... so Calleigh and Horatio both ask them, 'Who did you pay to kill her?' I love how they split up this scene, similar quesions back and forth and then the responses lol. They were both late for court that morning... And Rachel (the wife) admits to hating Cassidy, because she slept with her husband.
THEN they find out that Elle, the daughter of the stable owner, was in the same sorority as them in college, and she uses lye to clean the stables - someone had used lye to clean evidence off the horse's bridle. She tells them how horrible Cassidy and Rachel were during college, and that she had dreamt about wanting them dead, but would never actually do anything.
OMFG Rachel was at the spa and talking on the phone about wanting to congratulate wohever had killed Cassidy - and would 'give a medal' to them if they 'took care of Mickey too' - then she gets into the tanning bed and SOMEONE LOCKED HER IN!!!! Holy shit that's terrifying! And nobody could hear her shouting to let her out. Then we see the cops rushing in - Tons of cops there already but Franks the only one who knows how to use bolt cutters to cut off the bike lock? Anyway, she's super-red and super-dead when they get her out, and Tom realises that she didn't get 'cooked' to death, she suffocated because the killer turned off the air system in the tanning bed and placed tape over the curculation vent. Then they notice that she had the Greek letters of her sorority reverse-tanned onto her back (there was UV-resistant tape stuck inside the bed, so it cooked the skin around that, but not inside the letters themselves). Someone is trying to send a message! Scary.
Eric found out that the owner of the spa had been arrested for pulling the fire alarm at the Phi Gamma Alpha (They keep saying 'Phi Galph') and LOCKING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH A BIKE LOCK so that they all thought they would burn alive!! (Come on, wasnt there another emergency exit to that house?!) Turns out he was dating Elle, the stable owner's daughter, in college, and she was pressured by the sorority girls to dump him, so she did. :( But then recently she turned up at his spa to 'apologize' for everything - even tho it happened like 10 years ago. The bitches had threatened to kick her out of the sorority if she didn't end it with him. THEY'RE SO EVIL! Well they're dead. But they were evil. And they find out that her bike is missing a lock, and there's some UV-resistant tape right beside it in the garage. So they arrest her. Poor thing. Her dad shows up, back from a business trip and promises he will get her out.
Calleigh discovers, through interviewing the stable owner, that Elle was kicked out of the sorority in her second year. She was only accepted into the house because her mother had been a 'Phi Galph'. But she didn't fit in with the bitches. She was so hurt and lonely it's so sad :( And then Cassidy and Rachel found out that she was working at her mother's stable, and they took their horses there so that they could torment her more. I want to cry I hate those girls so much.
Ok they figure out that if Elle had brushed Chestnut when he came back from his ride that day, there may have been evidence of the killer on the brushes (which makes no sense to me, because he never did come back from the ride, he ran out onto the road... Meaning there was no chance to brush him... but anyway.) They find male DNA on the brushes. And because Elle's dad would have had access to the garage, they figure it was him. And they were right. Because he said they 'broke her spirit'. Which makes me want to cry even more.
Then Elle calls Horatio and starts crying saying it was her fault that all of this happened because she's pathetic. So she is gona kill herself. And we see Horatio driving like a maniac while she's tying a noose and OMFG I CAN'T WATCH THIS IT'S LIKE KUROFSY ALL OVER AGAIN GODDAMN TOO SOON TOO SOON!!!!!!!!
RUN HORATIO RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!!!! Ohmygod he got her she's ok *relief* WHY are they letting her walk around now?! She should be at the mental hospital! And now she's thanking Horatio?! Ok a really suicidal person woulda been like 'GRR how dare you mess up my plans?'
But she's ok. Bitches. She didn't 'give them 10 years of her life'. They took it!
