Horatio: the original csi
My internet has been kind of glitchy so bear with me. Well over the weekend I caught one of the best episodes of CSI: Maimi that I have ever seen. It starts out with a junkie( who is the stereotypical jittery skinny guy scared of the cops.) chasing a guy in a business suit probably to rob him. Flash forward to one dead junkie. His neck was broken so presumably the mugging didn’t go quite the way he wanted it to. But when the body turns out to have been exposed to radiation specifically iodine 321. This is where the storyline really fleshes out. For the first time on csi miami that I have ever seen the second murder victim is still alive and kicking. Poisoned but still alive for a couple of days. She was an Erin Brockovichesque eco rights civil lawyer fighting for the little people against big business. I think that this story hit on a lot of relevant points about the accountability of large corporations. And in the end after all the twists and turns it ends up being a simple stalker who happened to get mugged by the junkie on the way to kill the girl that turned down his advances. Oh and by the way I liked the reference to Hamlet’s friend horatio as the first csi priceless.
