The band gets back together

Feels like a happy ending in the middle of the series. Fans love seeing less drama and the band getting back together.

Three Different Cases

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 24 January 2023]

The entire team is back together investigating three different cases. Grissom, Sara, Nick and Capt. Brass meet at a fire of a trailer in a park, where there was an explosion. The victims are the owner Selena March and an unidentified man. Soon they find that the place was not a meth lab, but there were various materials and source of ignition and no leak in the gas pipe. When Greg learns that the male victim is the mortgage broker Robert Durgee, his wife becomes the prime suspect since her name is on the insurance card. Meanwhile, Catherine, Warrick and Det. Louis Vartann investigate a woman found dead wearing a shopping bag, underwear and rubber boots and no documents in a homeless area. Soon they identify the owner of the boots, Eddie Vonner, from the streets and sanitation maintenance. However, the man is a good Samaritan that gave her the boots and drop her off nearby the location where she was murdered. Greg, Sara and Det. Sofia Curtis, who left criminalist to be detective, investigate a Pontiac found in a desert parking lot with two decomposed bodies in the trunk. In the autopsy, Dr. Robbins concludes that the victims are a black teenage woman and a Caucasian man. They proceed their investigation checking the missing persons database and believe that the teenager is Clara James.

"Bodies in Motion" is the first episode of the Sixth Season of CSI with some modifications. Now the team is reunited after Greg's kidnapping. Warrick is married in a surprising revelation. And Sofia Curtis left the laboratory to become a detective. The three cases of the drunken driver, the homeless stripper and the drug dealer are interesting and very well-resolved after the investigation. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Bodies in Motion"

Pedestrian at Best

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 5 February 2021]

There are multiple deaths at a trailer park when a gas explosion occurs. It's obvious that a car that is no longer at the scene is part of the event. There is also the death of a girl in her underwear who ends up in a really harsh part of the city. Neither case is particularly interesting. Nick continues to suffer from PTSD after his burial.

Pretty Bland For A Season-Opener

[ccthemovieman-1 · 5/10 · 25 February 2007]

The team is back together as one unit to begin the sixth season and they are all at the site of a trailer which exploded, killing both occupants - one female owner and one unidentified male. At the ME's office, it's discovered the male has tire marks on his abdomen. "Maybe our explosion turned into a hit-and-run," says Grissom.

At that aforementioned scene, Gil gets a call and re-assigns Catherine and Warrick to another case. They go to "G-string boulevard," a street sarcastically named because of all the strip clubs there. They see a dead woman lying in the parking lot wearing not much more than a garbage bag. "A homeless stripper?" asks Catherine, who also is shocked to see a wedding ring on Warrick's hand. He says he just got married yesterday in one of the those drive-by marriage places. Catherine reveals she's disappointed because her fantasy has now ended. She's serious.

One of the crime scenes leads to a third in which two disgustedly-decomposed bodies are discovered in a trunk of a car.

Overall, okay, but frankly not up to standards for a season-opener. It was too low-key and with no emotion and no suspense on anything by anybody. The fact Warrick got married was more interesting than the cases, and that should't be.
