10/16/2003: random CSI thought
My first contact with CSI was CSI: Miami, but I was quickly turned off by that series. Not just are the characters (IMO) less likable than those in CSI, but also they always seemed to win. I can't remember a single episode (I haven't seen all, but still a fair number of first season eps) where they couldn't find enough evidence, or fucked up, or just lost. Now CSI of course also has a tendency in that direction, that glorifies the power of physical evidence to find the criminal, as is to be expected, and I haven't seen all episodes yet, but there is enough that shows that it doesn't always work that way. They maybe win more often than not, but they don't always win. Which is why I stopped watching CSI: Miami (that and that Horatio is an judgmental frellnik), but I'm slowly catching up with CSI Vegas and quite enjoy it so far.
