The biggest change in this season is an HR one: new director Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) splits up the team, making Willows a shift supervisor and causing friction between she and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox). He also adds a new member, Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard), to banter with Gil Grissom (William Petersen)'s team. The move doesn't dampen the show's pace, as most cases break the team into twosomes anyway. But it does add a new villain in Ecklie, all politics and PR versus Grissom's heart to protect his team. Meanwhile, other cases dig deeper into the personal demons of Sidle and Willows; and the season finale, a slam-bam two-parter handily directed by Quentin Tarantino, focuses on the kidnapping of Nick Stokes (George Eads), buried alive with fire ants. This episode, the most emotionally charged yet, brings the entire team together and shows why it's still the No. 1 show on television. --Ellen A. Kim

Customer Reviews of C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation - The Complete Fifth Season
Totally Gripping--can't wait for the 6th season This season was totally gripping; I was glued to my seat especially for the final two episodes where Nick is kidnapped. What continues to draw me to the show is the sprinkle of personal life of the characters. The show isn't about the characters, but about the crimes and how they are solved by the characters--however, that doesn't mean that as an audience we don't want to watch the love interests between Gil and Sarah, and Catherine and Warrick, Catherine's dealing with her daughter, Sarah's upbringing issues, etc. <
> <
>My one question is, why is Nick always the victim--he's been stalked, had a life-threatening situation where a gun was drawn on him and now this...I find that interesting. <
> <
>All is all, the 5th season was the best so far and I anxiously await to add the 6th to my collection.
Wow, what a ride!
After five seasons CSI is still my favorite show on TV. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this box set (I live in Germany and they've just started showing the 5th season a couple of months ago) to watch the last two episodes that Quentin Tarantino directed (Note: he actually didn't write them; the credits say: story by QT). I never used to like Quentin Tarantino's work but, man, these two episodes took my breath away! I was sitting at the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails, hoping that Nick (my favorite character by the way) would get out of that transparent box alive. Great job, guys. Can't wait for season six!

<
>Just one word to the person who said that the crimes are always solved: this is not true! There is one episode during this season where the CSI guys get the serial killer that has been killing (on and off) for over twenty years (so they didn't catch him right away, see?) and whose "partner in crime" was caught and sentenced to death in season 3. And then there is also Catherine's father who got away with murder. And there is also Paul Milander (of season one and two). He never gets caught, he commits suicide before the police can arrest him.

Let's be real... GREAT SHOW... but, FORMULAIC
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE C.S.I., the production value is setting a new standard for television of the future. The fifth season is highlighted with some truly phenominal episodes, including the phenominal 2 part finale "Grave Danger".

<
>Yet, I'm a little put off by the mentality of the CBS network. They tend to cater to the short-attention span audience... as is, you can miss 3 or 4 episodes, come back a few weeks later and sit down and pick right up with C.S.I., or pretty much anything else on the network. They keep ongoing stories to a bare minimum. You don't really get to know the characters as well as you might on other shows like Veronica Mars, Lost or even X-files for that matter.

>In reality, C.S.I., is just a MURDER SHE WROTE for the 21st century. It's the same show... with hipper graphics, special effects, a younger, hipper cast and improved technology. Every week, there's a murder, an investigation begins... suspects are presented and the murder is... SOLVED!! EVERY WEEK!! Wow. I only wish that were true in real life.

<
>I always used to joke... Angela Landsbury comes to your town... don't commit a murder, man... she's gonna solve it! Same goes with C.S.I. Yeah, it's Vegas, but man, if the forensic team were really this darn good... crime would be non-existent in that town... and in Miami, and in New York.

<
>Not to mention... have you ever heard of so many murderers and drug dealers and arsonists... just folding in and telling the interrogators EVERYTHING. OH, YOU GOT ME!! Here's a detailed description of how I did it... as if you don't already know already you super sleuth.

<
>Don't get me wrong... I love C.S.I. William Peterson is one of my favorite actors. Always has been. Ever since he blew me away in TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. The show is unreal good. Great stories (Some times a little far fetched). Great writing. Great acting. But just look at CBS. All of their shows are the SAME. They are all formulaic. Mystery/suspects/solved... each week.

<
>CSI, COLD CASE, NUMBERS, WITHOUT A TRACE, CSI MIAMI, CSI NEW YORK, CRIMINAL MINDS, NCIS... even GHOST WHISPERER. They are all the same. In one hand, very real, with intelligence and elaborate dilemmas, but in the other hand, very unrealistic when the crimes are solved so swiftly and formulaicly.

>CSI just needs to take a lesson from another great show like VERONICA MARS. A show that took a mystery and treated it real, with complications and misdirection and COVER UP that doesn't solve itself in a week. Then, it will truly be appointment Television for me.
