<I was afraid I would flip back too late

I thought I'd scream when they were digging the first time in the barn, and the scene flashed to the inside of Nick's coffin. It was as if he heard them. Then they hit that plexiglass...........and it was the darn dog!!!

Quentin Tarantino's mean streak was showing. He knows how to jerk an audience along into the scene.

Phew - just remembering hets me all up.

Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Agree, excellent episode. They really showcased Nick. Bet he gets nominated for an emmy.

<Bet he gets nominated for an emmy.

Yes, he played it realistically. I know I couldn't breathe here at home, just like Nick.

Do you ever worry about the creative minds that dream these story lines up? I'm not sure which is more frightening - knowing there are writers with that kind of sick streak, or knowing that there are real life ba$tards that inspire these CSI and Law and Order stories.

Off to lock all the doors.

Not when Quentin Tarrantino is involved. With him, I expect anything.

LOL! Is he married? I really know nothing about him, but I'm guessing he'd be a tad eccentric to live with.

"Hey, honey. Guess what? I've put the kids in the plexiglass playpen and buried them. They think they're treasure and I'm a pirate. Wanna play buccaneer? We've got a few minutes before their air runs out."

No, I don't think he is. Can't imagine what his kids would be like!

What an awesome, powerful episode!

I do have to admit that about a half hour into it, I was considering not watching. It was very disturbing to me. I'm glad I stuck it out.

Same here - I was having my own mini panic attack, especially when he was realizing exactly what had happened. I'm very claustrophobic.

It was intense, it was riviting, I was on the edge of my seat and I loved the episode, but...I don't want it to become the norm. I watch the show for the reveals, the ferreting out of what really happened. I hate the Miami one (would even if the troll was not on it)as they run about the community waving their guns and arresting criminals.

One thing though-I've never seen the autopsy guy having a bad relationship with Nick, so why would Nick picture him laughing over Nick's death? Of course the mind plays strange tricks, but wouldn't picturing the autopsy be more normal than the laughter scene? It just seems a little out of place, somehow.

Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.

that autopsy scene was pure Quentin Tarentino. I don't think he cared if it really "fit" into the relationship or not...he had to get at least a little "gore" into the episode.

Eads should get an award for his acting in this episode. And if he needs some therapy after doing it....I'd be more than happy to give him some free of charge. YUM!

A little gore? Bwahahaha!! Like the explosion wasn't enough? I found a thumb."

Eads really was good, wasn't he?

<so why would Nick picture him laughing over Nick's death

I don't think it had anything to do with Nick's relationship with the person himself. It had more to do with being autopsied by anybody. Nick's mind just used the only coroner her knew.

That was some nightmare, wasn't it? The cold, impersonal nature of the autopsy was horrific.

Poor Nick. I wonder how this will affect his work next season.

Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

See chatt - you hit the nail right on the head! That's what was off kilter to me. The cold, impersonal nature of the autopsy was perfect - watching his organs being passed over. It just seemed an off key note for him to see the coroner laugh - dark humour in work or not, this would not have been something he had ever seen.

Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Cause I am just dying to know what Nick said to Grissom that we never got to hear. Grissom responded "You never did, Nick." The best I could come up with was 'I hope I didn't disappoint you,' but I could be WAY off.

Dear RatEater,
Sorry....I do not have the lip reading talent...but my thoughts were right in line with yours. I thougnt he either said "I hope I never disappointed you or I hope I never let you down". What a dirty trick to let Grissom in on it but not us. And poor Nick doesnt even know he's being the star of a perverted version of NICk-TV!
