Fire scene

Why would someone where a white suit to a fire scene like Calleigh did?

Great Episode

Kept me guessing on who did it. It was riveting from beginning to end

An Insult To Us Viewers

This one was a little far out...... too far out.

Generally-speaking I've always loved this show, despite credibility gaps in stories and a few other things. I still do - but this episode was just plain stupid. When "Calleigh" is seeing and speaking to a "ghost," I could only shake my head in disgust.

Hey, I expect strange things on this entertaining CSI show but this was almost embarrassing watch. As the other reviewer wrote, it was like some amateur wrote the script. IMDb here lists Tamara Jaron and Melissa Scrivner of the writers of this episode.

I will say, however, that the ending was good. It did not have the normal PC that usually comes with today's TV shows.

Worst episode ever.

Worst episode of CSI:Miami ever. Worst written, worst edited, worst acted.

I got the distinct impression that the script for this episode was submitted by a fan or a contest winner. The actors seemed genuinely uncomfortable with the shear "lameness" of some of the lines, but they did the best they could with it (my "worst acted" comment notwithstanding).

I mean a ghost...REALLY???

I genuinely love the entire CSI franchise but this episode was painful.

I hope that wasn't a shark being jumped I saw...

Genius or calamity, you choose

I'm really doubting between rating this with 1 star or 10.... I mean, if it was written seriously it's a 1, but if it's the result of a bet after a night of booze it's one of the best comic stuff I've seen in years. It's a Must if you're down, maybe a Sunday afternoon. A work of art of humor similar to Top Secret. As all the show. As a bonus Track we can see a few minutes of Megan Markle at the beginning when they go into a fire and comeout without ashes all over them it's really hilarious!!

Makes the Twilight Zone look like Shakespeare

I've always taken this show with a grain of salt. Just "suspend disbelief" entertainment and enjoyed it for what it was. That being said...this episode threw every silly idea they could think of at the wall. Surprised they didn't incorporate Columbo, Monk and Inspector Clouseau. I'm embarrassed this could've be made.
