CSI: Episode 8.13 "A Thousand Days on Earth" Recap

[TheEditor]

Greg Fitzsimmons does some stand-up comedy. This guy is funny, but then he makes an abortion joke. Wow, this is an uncomfortable start to a CSI episode. Some dude starts heckling because he doesn't find abortion funny. After the show there's a fake-out to make us think the comic will die, but he gets in his car to drive away and sees a small box. It contains a dead kid. The CSI theme song doesn't seem appropriate at this point, but there it is.



The CSI team gets to work performing the saddest autopsy ever. Grissom (William Petersen) finds some hairs in the packing tape of the box. He gets all philosophical, and Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) seems a bit more torn up by Baby Cordelia than most victims. She's offended by Hodges' claim that the death of a pretty little girl is more tragic than the death of an uggo.

Some people might be surprised at how many times people are falsely accused of a crime. Some are actually convicted and go to jail. Sometimes people plead guilty of a crime they didn't commit because they cannot afford a lawyer and court appointed lawyers really don't fight for you because they actually work for the state or county, are underpaid and just don't care. People's lives can be ruined just like in this episode. I hope CSI continues to explore this senario.

The thing with CSI is that if you watch the episode with an eye on the clock, then you can immediately rule out any suspects questioned before 9:50, say, as being red herrings. That said, I do get why people enjoy watching it. It's sort of brainless entertainment in a bloody package, with just enough variation every week to keep it from being monotonous.
