- TriviaIn the nearly ten years of the series, the opening credits' (pilot epsiode) scene of Grissom's experiment dummy-being bludgeoned in the back of the head-has always been shown.
- GoofsBrown is suspended for dereliction of duty for leaving Gribbs alone at a crime scene. Grissom did the exact same thing earlier. Grissom was more negligent since he was a senior officer, and unlike the robbery there was no officer at the liquor store, whose owner also pulled a gun on Gribbs. Grissom would have faced similar discipline.

Promising Beginning
The CSI team, composed by the cop Chief Jim Brass, and the scientists Dr. Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown and Nick Stolkes, is short staffed and plenty of cases to be simultaneously resolved. There is an apparently suicide; a murder case of a trespasser; and a man lured and drugged by a young woman. When the rookie Holly Gribbs is assigned to work in the CSI team, Jim does not like and asks Grissom to stay with her in an autopsy. Holly intends to give up working in the CSI, but Catherine convinces her to stay a little longer and have the final decision later. The gambler Warrick is assigned to go with her to a crime scene, but he leaves Holly doing the forensic work while he bets in a horse for the corrupt Judge Cohen and himself. Meanwhile something happens to Holly Gribbs that will affect the whole team.
"Pilot" is a promising beginning of the "CSI" series. The plot is engaging, the characters are real and the cases are well-resolved, using science instead of force. The fate of the rookie Holly Gribbs is not good and looking forward to see whether she will survive or not. My vote is eight.
