Circling back, maybe stepping up, with a review CSI Vegas 1.2, which is actually a continuation of the original CSI, then and now on CBS. I'm still liking it.
The modus operandi appears to be one ongoing case involving David Hodges, who stands accused of forging evidence in who knows how many earlier CSI cases, and another case which will likely change each week. For 1.2, I enjoyed seeing both unfold, but I'll confine my review to the profoundly important (for CSI) David Hodges case.
Sarah and husband Gil disagree strongly on Hodges' guilt. Sara feels in her bones that Hodges is innocent, framed by some nefarious player. Gil can't go by feelings, not even by Sara's logic. He has to wait for evidence, to tell him how he feels.
[Spoilers ahead ....]
Good news for Gil's reliance on evidence and Hodges' innocence at the end of the episode. Gil finds that someone was silencing Hodges' neighbor's dog. Since Hodges has no reason to do that, Gil concludes that Sara's instincts and logic are right: The person who framed Hodges must have been responsible for the neighbor's dog,
The question still remains of who and why? I'm half jokingly thinking that a good candidate would Nick Stokes, played by George Eads, who was with CSI from the beginning until almost the end, leaving after he had some kind of altercation with a writer for the show. He'd have a big grievance against CSI, right?
In any case, it's very good to see Sara and Gil back in action, and I'm liking the new characters, too, so I'll likely be back here with another review or more.
