"People lie, but the evidence never does."
I know, it's so geeky, but I'm so addicted to CSI.
I love CSI cuz it's unbelievable and believable at the same time. It's unbelievable when a piece of thread or Grissom's bugs turn out to be the case breakers. But it's also good that the stories are still more often than not in touch with reality, especially in today's world where people are drawn to authenticity and truth. I like it that some CSI episodes actually end up in unsolved cases.
It's also clever for the creator to squeeze in bits and pieces of each character's personal lives -- Grissom and his work obsession, which continues to affect his social life, Sara and her tough facade behind a soft image that keeps getting bothered by her past, Warrick and his personal struggle against gambling, Catherine and her battle with emotions everytime she works on a case, among others.
More so, competition and even politics are included to make the show all the more real. Different people with different roles (different folks, different strokes) are inserted to prove that analyzing crime and forensic investigation are not just about DNA tracking, slicing up a dead body or piling up tangible evidence. They'd have to deal with competitive behavior, clashing opinions and delicate emotions. Just goes to show that the laboratory's not always a controlled setting -- it's still a dog-eat-dog world, anything is possible and outcomes are unpredictable.
On a lighter note, I love CSI cuz I really enjoy catching dead bodies accidentally breathe in such a way that the camera catches their stomach rise and fall. I even like it better when I see their neck throb softly to their heartbeat, or catch their eyelids move as if they had REM. Hey, give me a break. I'm the down-to-the-very-last-deets sort of person. And it's good for me, too -- I'm not very fond of looking at dead bodies, even if they're fake. I feel better when I'm convinced that the dead body's fictional. :P
To sum it up, CSI is way cool. :P
I wanna thank Ishy (another CSI enthusiast), for lending me her DVDs. :)
