Friday night we watched the CSI finale. No, not Thursday night, Friday. To digress slightly, we very seldom watch live television anymore (except for sports programs) due to the power of the DVR. It simply revolutionizes how you watch television - no more commercials, watch the program when you want to, and pause when the phone rings. Once you've watched television this way, it is very difficult to go back to regular television. But end of digression, let's talk about the show.

All in all, we really enjoyed the finale. The last few episodes have been somewhat gimmicky, no doubt due to the fact that it is May sweeps months. But this episode was really well done. I guess I should say episodes, since it was two hours long. Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed both episodes, and you could definitely feel his influence. The story flowed well and was suspenseful, particularly in the 1st half. It was refreshing to watch a program that wasn't so predictable (I mean there was an episode of a different program that you could guess whodunit just from the previews). I'd say that "Grave Danger Vol. 1" & "Grave Danger Vol. 2" were among the best episodes of the year. (And yes, they deliberately used the "Vol." designation instead of the "Part" designation, and you Quentin fans will understand why).
