Rant:
CSI people are the Judge Dreads of TV. They investigate, analyze, apprehend, interrogate, and occasionally execute their criminals. Each agent is assigned to a case with a partner.  Each partner is fully capable of doing any of the tasks required. If one performs a task, the other comes over and pats them on the shoulder; it could have just as easily been them performing the hair fiber analysis. They aren’t specialists; they are super-humans who have 8 PhD’s and are more capable in all aspects of a case than any one real specialist.
And then they don’t even die when shot in the head. Repeatedly.
Then they come back, *retarded*, and they are still smarter than everyone but their partners.
