CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Season 7

This, by the way, is the second review I've written for this - don't know where the first one is. Having said that ...Each season I keep saying the same thing, - this show keeps getting better and better. I feel this show always manages to stay fresh and interesting and I love it more and more with each new season. I can't wait for this release.The first episode in this season is Built To Kill where we are waiting to see more of what we found out in the last episode of season 6 - that Grisolm and Sara had gotten together. My favourite episode is Happenstance where identical twins have been seperately killed and the team try to work out whether the case is related or not. If you want a total recap of each episode then here it goes:Built To Kill 1 - Foul play is suspected when an apparent suicide victim still has the gun in his hand, and a flower delivery woman is found crushed to death in the middle of a Cirque du Soleil performance. (Look for a special appearance from John Mayer.Built To Kill 2 - Grisolm investigates the murder of a rock star, which is complicated by the discovery of a miniature replica of the crime scene at the house. And Catherine tries to determine if she was raped after waking up nude in a seedy hotel.Toe Tags - A group of dead bodies in the Las Vegas morgue get to know each other while CSI tries to solve the crimes that got them there.Fannysmackin' - (another favourite of mine) A gang of street thugs is beating and killing people all over the city. Greg witnesses one of the crimes taking place and becomes a beating victim himself.Double Cross - A lounge singer is found crucified inside a Catholic church, and the church's new pastor fails to disclose that he knows the victim from all the way back to high school.Burn Out - A pedophile arsonist maintains his innocence in the disappearance of two young boys, but he is also willing to help the investigation by giving Grissom insight on the potential kidnapper's mindset.Post Mortem - Greg has his day in court for running over and killing a street gang member right before his own beating, and a second crime scene replica is found--this time after the murder of an elderly woman.Happenstance - CSI investigates the deaths of estranged identical twins: one from a gunshot wound, and one from an apparent suicide. The two deaths do not appear to be related, but are they?Living Legend - (the only boring episode) The team searches for a link between a current string of murders in Las Vegas and a notorious mob boss who disappeared in the 1970s.Loco Motives - Gil finds a third miniature crime-scene replica at a murder site, and CSI tries to find a link between the three otherwise-unrelated murders.Leaving Las Vegas - Catherine tries to link an accused killer to a second similar crime in a small town after he is found not guilty in the first trial, and Gil announces that he is going on sabbatical.Sweet Jane - The C.S.I. team doesn't know what to make of their new member ( Liev Schreiber), who joins them in the hunt for a serial killer, active since the 1970's.Redrum - Keppler proposes that Catherine create a phony crime scene to help catch a murderer, and to keep it secret from the other investigators. However, Nick quickly figures out that something is fishy.Meet Market - The discovery of a badly burned corpse uncovers a plot to illegally harvest bones and tissues, and the death of a middle-aged wife appears to be connected to her relationship with a high-priced male companion.Law Of Gravity - When one Trenton cop is murdered in Las Vegas, a second threatens to expose Keppler's past if he doesn't make the case and the evidence go away.Monster In The Box - Grissom thinks the miniature killer is dead, until he receives another miniature crime scene. However, unlike the others, this one predicts a crime scene that hasn't happened yet.Fallen Idols - A star high school basketball player disappears, and the investigation reveals that he gave an STD to a couple of his classmates.Empty Eyes - Six showgirls who live together are murdered in their home, and Sara is distressed when the final victim dies in her arms. However, she may have left Sara a vital clue that could help her ultimately identify the killer.Big Shots - A death in a drive-by limo shooting and the dragging death of a young woman turn out to be related crimes, and Greg discovers that the brother of the young man he ran over may have been involved.Lab Rats - With Grissom out of his office and all of the detectives out in the field, Hodges and the lab other techs try to discover new clues in the miniature killer case.Ending Happy - A washed-up boxer is found dead at a nearby bordello. There are several suspects, motives, and signs of injury. But the medical examiner is having a hard time figuring out which blow was the actual cause of death.Leapin' Lizzards - CSI discovers that a woman may have been murdered, and her head mounted on a wall as a trophy, because the killer was convinced that she was actually a powerful alien reptile. (Quite a bizzare episode and a bit of a departure from what you're used to seeing on CSI).The Good, The Bad And The Dominatrix - After an unsuccessful attempt on Lady Heather's life, Sara discovers Gil's prior relationship with her. Meanwhile, Nick investigates the death of a woman apparently hit by a taxicab.Living Doll - The miniature killer is ready to strike again, and Sara will be the next victim. Will CSI stop her in time?Throughout the season you see the theme of the miniature killer. It started out slowly and built up speed toward the end. Because of the killer and what he/she has done to Sara, Grisolm ending up blurting out to the others about their relationship. At first the team aren't sure if they heard right or not, but it becomes apparent that they are a couple and that's almost as exciting as working out who's behind these miniatures.If you are a CSI fan, you are bound to love season 7. It truly gets better always and I already can't wait for season 8.

There are various things going on with the people this time around. Whether its Gregg witnessing a gang beating and becoming a victim himself "Fannysmackin". Katherine having a little too much to drink and winding up in a motel and wakes to wonder whether she's been assaulted or not. It's a lot going on in other episodes as well with various issues. It goes without saying that you won't be bored anything or character in Season 7 of CSI as they continue to up their game and keep finding more interesting cases to tackle and underlying stories between the office as a whole.After 7 seasons one would think that CSI would be slipping up or become complacent about its longevity. But that is so not the case especially with Season 7. Each episode has a little something different to it whether its "Lab Rats" where the other workers in the CSI office take a front seat to try and help Grissom solve the mystery behind the miniature killer. This is an ongoing arc throughout this Season and it requires all the characters help in piecing together exactly who's doing this and better yet why."Living Doll", it ends with a cliffhanger as Sarah has been kidnapped by the miniature killer leaving things wide open on what will actually happen to her will Grissom, Katherine and the others make it to her in time.Some of my favorite episodes from this include:"Built to Kill, Part 1""Fannysmackin""Living Legend""Lab Rats""Living Doll" the season ender with a big cliffhangerThe whole season is worth purchasing in any respect as in also includes Special Features-"Inside Built to Kill", "Miniature Murders", "Who Are You? Inside Living Legend", "Las Vegas: The Real Crime Solvers", "The Evolution of CSI: Season 7" and "Smoke and Mirrors: Directing Feature Television.Excellent in all respects from the writers, storyline, actors/actresses, guest stars, lighting, various backgrounds and mainly the attention to detail. That everyone involved puts into this show on a daily basis, i'm impressed.5 out of 5 stars

Trying to fill in Seasons I don't have. Great to find the seasons here at an affordable price. No complaints.

While looking back on the career of Liev Shreiber, I noticed he had guested on a few episodes of Season 7 and decided to give it a go once I had assured myself that it was not the CSI with the ridiculous over the top dude in the sunglasses. Good decision. I really got into it, loved the dark side and the dry humour and it was a revelation to see an embryonic Ray Donovan! Yes this is definitely where Ray first saw the light of day. A sexy mystery man with a past and even wearing the trademark black suit and white shirt. He fixes but it doesn't always turn out well.So this is a must for any Las Vegas or Ray Donovan / Liev fan. That story arc was amazing and I enjoyed the other actors and the writing/ plot lines so much that I have gone back to start collecting from Season One. That is interesting in itself just to see the changes in the actors over the 7 seasons.There is a nice balance between character development and case stories and I enjoy that the plots spread over the season and are not just case of the week. Very glad I rediscovered CSI las Vegas and find that it still seems fresh despite its age and is still one of the top forensic science based series. Maybe Dexter was born here too!

It was on time and undamaged

I bought this 2nd hand. It is in Good condition and it played well.I am an avid fan of all things CSI, from Vegas to Miami to New York. The quality that has been maintained over all the series is fantastic and the acting is just first class. I must admit I was sceptical of the spin offs at first. I couldn't believe that the writers would be able to create enough originality to cover 2 and then 3 series worth but happily I was wrong. I find that I enjoy all 3 versions equally although there is a special place in my heart for the original Vegas. I really like all the characters but have to say that I miss Speedle from Miami & Aiden from New York. I cannot get used to Wolf and find his character annoying and not a patch on his predecessor. I felt a bit like this with Lindsay in New York but it wore off after a few episodes. I actually enjoy it when the personal lives of the characters are explored a bit. Suppose I'm a bit of a romantic at heart and I like it that Mac is involved with Peyton and Danny & Lindsay have got it together. I don't suppose either couple will live happily ever after as these situations always seem to end badly. Would be nice if just once in a while it worked out. I hope that Jorja Fox continues in Vegas as not only do I like her character, but after watching 7 series of Sarah and Grissom slowly getting closer and closer, it would be such a shame if that did not continue. Those two are so suited to each other it's not true!!!! I could talk for hours about CSI and have all episodes covering all series collected on DVD. Long may they continue.

I never thought CSI wold make it this far and not become completely boring, but they have. Sure, this series annoys me slighly with the serial killer aspect, but I'm not a huge far of major on-going plot lines. But even for me this series still has plenty of great episodes, and gets even closer to the characters. I've gotta admit I'm a huge Greg fan, and love him in this series. Overall CSI still continues to impress me, and keep me guessing (you' have thought after seven series I'd be able to work out who did it...)

If you like crime shows, working out who did it, character led action, great acting, interesting characters and fancy american shows then start from series one, sit down with an IV drip, a potty for your doings and a big load of haribo and watch straight through to this series. It's fanciful, it's fun, it's big and it's good. I wouldn't recommend it if you hate all of the above. But then you're not worth recommending anything to anyway.Oh, and P.S. it's not 24

Yet another great series from the team. The storylines are so well thought out and involving. Whole series was such a great price too. Anyone interested in crime and solving cases would love it!!
