CSI: Vegas (TV Series) Pipe Cleaner (2021) User Reviews

a tub of a tale

Cool to see the whole team working on the same case, and it was definitely an interesting one... Sara losing her ring was a weird sublot but had a sweet resolution.

A closer facsimile of the original than any episode previous,

The dodgy physics of the solution to the A-story notwithstanding. Besides Grissom and Sidle being more engaged in the investigation of the week, this one recalled classic episodes for its comic attitude, suspects, and details of the crime. I can't say I bought the explanation Grissom finally arrived at to account for the tub o' two-person soup. While the explosive reaction caused by adding hydrogen peroxide to sulfuric acid might explain (allowing for a wide berth of disbelief-suspending) the high position of the head impact on the wall, it seems less probable the rebound force would have been sufficient for the hapless cleaner to travel that much lateral space (5' to 6' is my estimate) to come to rest in the tub. It doesn't really spoil an ep that was closer in spirit to ones from season 6 and later than any thus far.

Quite the Reveal

The main criminal investigation is a little on the far fetched side. We have the deaths of two people in sulfuric acid soup that are investigated by Sidle and Grissom. Meanwhile, the Hodges trial is coming fast and the forces are working like crazy to prevent his being exonerated. I wish I could jump right into the next episode but I will have to wait for a week and then another for the conclusion. With a few little distractions, I've found this first season very engaging and hope it will continue.
