I can't recall, although there must have been at least one, any CSI episode that I could label as "boring." The stories might get a little too wacky here and there - especially this Las Vegas one - but they never dragged......until this one.
Usually, a lot is going on in a CSI episode, whether it is one crime being solved or three at once. Here, however, it's just trying to find a person: CSI employee "Sara Sidle," who is trapped underneath a car somewhere out in the desert. The question is "where?" The only person who knows is the "Miniature Killer" who is in some sort of mental state in which she's unable to communicate.
Thus, the whole show is trying to find out where Sara is, plus showing Sara trying to get out from underneath the car. Being a regular on the show since Day One, you know Jorja Fox ("Sara") is going to make it, so I didn't feel much suspense. One just observes how she's found, and it's a very slow, drawn out story with very little, frankly, happening.
