CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 5.1 - By: Viva Las Vegas, 17 May 2006 
Yet another fantastic installlment of the best show on TV.
The normal character's, Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Sarah Sidle, Warwick Brown, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass & Dr Robbins are back & in about episode seven (I think) we see a someone from the day shift become more involved with the closely-knit night team. She is not made very welcome by the team but she still remains part of the team (as we can see from season six, currently showing on TV).
This set of episodes gives us brilliant science & also further insight into the CSI's. Catherine is having trouble with her daughter Lyndsey & Greg is tested in his ambitions to get away from the DNA Lab & into the field - things don't always run smoothly.
There are a mixture of entertaining episodes such as 'Who shot Sherlock?' where an avid Sherlock Holmes fan dies in his Baker Street style basement. Was it suicide or murder - this it Greg's final chance to become a CSI. Will he pass??? There are also some more emotive episodes such as 'No humans involved' where a young boy is found dumped along with the rubbish in a back allley. This is testing for Sarah & Brass as they find out the boy has two brothers & they don't know where they are or what condition they are in.
For alll of the fans of previous series the serial killer who targets students at a Las Vegas college campus by abducting them near a water fountain after painting railings with the now infamous 'blue paint' is back, even tough someone has already been executed for one of the murders. Is this the real killer? A copycat? Or might they have been partners in crime? When he starts taunting the CSI's it's bound to be an exciting conclusion.
Can't wait for the rest of series 5!!!
Jerry Bruckheimer, You're the MAN! - CSI Rocks! - By: A. Brown, 09 May 2006 To say that CSI is the finest Scientific Drama of its time is an appocolyptic understatement. I have EVERY EPISODE of ALL of the CSI family yet released on DVD. Every time you watch this masterpiece of TV you spot something new.
The acting is superior, scientific & forensic reconstruction amongst the best I have ever seem (outside of reality that is). Every character is so believable & the situations realistic.
It is true that the Miami & New York series are marked down from the Vegas episodes BUT HEY!, they have one heck of a hard act to follow. They do actuallly stand on their own as a series.
Any of the actor's who 'choose' to leave the CSI family need their heads read as this will be the pinnacle genre to aspire to.
In the current Season 6, now showing in the UK, Faye Dunnaway was a recent guest star - could this finallly be 'the hit show in which to appear', I'd say so!
5 stars aren't enough for this exceptional dramatic delight.
CSI: crime scene investigation 5.1 - By: sue, 01 Apr 2006 This is a brilliant TV drama series which shows the more coplicated scientific side to solving crimes so if you love science & drama this great for you because alll the forensic science they do on the show is actuallly what real CSIs do & the only things made up are some of the cases(most of them are copyed from real life cases) & the characters on the show (which by the way are awsome & it is possible to relate to some of them especiallly the more emotional ones like CSI Sara Sidle)
I have been a been complete & total CSI fan since season one.
CSI season 5 is by far the best out of the whole entire five seasons because my favorite character lab technition Greg Sanders finallly gets out of the DNA lab & in to the field so we can see a lot more of his character!! (Im sure other Greg sanders fans will agree!)and some of the cases become more serious like in the episode 'SPARK OF LIFE' were there is a wild fire & the CSIs find a woman surviver who is covered from head to toe in 3rd degree burns & the episode 'NO HUMANS INVOLVED' is quit upsetting because Greg Sanders finds a dead 5 year old boy in a cardboard box in an allly way who had been starved to death.
I would recomend CSI:crime scene investigation to anybody.
CSI is the best drama ever! so Buy this DVD! & the rest of them because there is no point in having one season & not the others.
