Trivia:
In the opening scene, when the team is told they are to be followed and filmed for a show about forensics Grisolm retorts, "there are too many forensics shows on T.V." William Petersen was very vocally opposed to and fought vehemently against the CSI spin-offs "CSI: NY" (2004) and "CSI: Miami" (2002). more
Quotes:
Nick Stokes:
Two pieces of duct tape, both have been swabbed for DNA and fingerprinted.
[Hodges is looking around for someone]
Nick Stokes:
Grissom wants you to compare adhesives. He's looking for a match.
[Nick glances for whom Hodges is casting about]
Hodges:
Ok. That'll take a laser ablation test. That's good.
Nick Stokes:
Why's that good?
Hodges:
Well, laser ablation is both visual *and* dramatic.
Nick Stokes:
Are you looking for the video crew right now?
Hodges:
[scoffs] I would think they would be looking for *me*.
Nick Stokes:
Relax, man, their show is only an hour long; laser ablation takes, like, six.

One of those annoying crime "investigator" shows is following the Las Vegas CSI around on a case as Gil and Catherine walk into a big hotel to check out a crime scene. Gil tells the cameraman, "There are too many forensic shows on TV."
That great line opens this episode. I am sure William Petersen enjoyed saying that line, as he was quoted years ago as being against a second CSI show, much less three, plus other copy- cat efforts on TV.
Anyway, the local CSI investigates after a seriously-wounded woman staggers out of a room, also the victim of some kind of date-rape assault in which she was tied up. Who did this? It doesn't help that the victim can't remember much expect that a fireman came to her door. That's the story for the episode. There are no secondary crime stories.
At first, I didn't the way they handled the filming, most of it through the lens of the tabloid- TV camera, which means just one straight-on angle, weaker sound than normal, etc. However, as it went on it served its purpose: providing something a little different. The flashlight-camera was kind of cool.
Humor was provided by the nerd-ish "Hodges," who mugged for the tabloid cameraman. Meanwhile, the case involves a guy with a "foot fetish." Man, these Las Vegas shows get weird at times.
