Let the CSI Madness Commence

OK, so I figured I'd watch the premiere of CSI:NY last night.  Man what a hoot.  Guess they're going the route of "science, whats that?" for this season.  Two big l-o-l moments from last nights episode:
  • They pull the "magic pixels" trick again.  This time in a very, very big way.  Plus more.  They took an image of a high-rise office window taken from, I dunno, a mile? half-mile? out and zoomed in on the silhouette of the person inside.  Um. Yeah.  Then they took that silhouette and ran it through facial recognition software.  In the Star Trek universe, maybe.  Boy howdy.
  • Then the killer.  "Drink everytime Montana says 'dynamite!'"  Look, Montana, (and the CSI:NY writing staff) just because the primary explosive component in dynamite is nitro glycerine does NOT ergo mean that nitro glycerine in its medicinal form is the same as dynamite.  Dynamite is nitro, yes, combined with a stabilizer/absorbant such as sawdust (in the old days) or diatomaceous earth or whatever.  People are given nitro pills for heart conditions fer cryin out loud.  A simple bit of research would have given that up.
  • And I guess they've started running out of story ideas, because Mac is now doing one of his fellow she-cops on the side.  Great, now this one's going to get turned into a soap opera, too.  That's just swell.
I think I'm going to have to start a new site just for the sole purpose of shredding the CSI's into tiny bits.  I haven't yet seen the CSI:Miami premiere, but its on the MythTV box awaiting viewing.  I'm sure I'll like that just as much.
