CSI Miami throws science out the window, again
I love it. An eclipse that happens in high speed mode (if the idiots
staring at the partial eclipse had really done so for the duration (or five minutes) the whole lot of them would be blind. Also, I like the "enhanced" el cheap Meade telescope with special ultra-high resolution optics. Plus, the coroner crowing about "da voodoo" set her character as a literate, educated Black woman back about 50 years.... |

Let's see... you're talking about a show where the lead detective/CSI is a creepy pedophile, and the coroner is a creepy necrophile, and you're worried about some poor science? The original CSI is the only one of the three that does a pretty good job with science in any case. How many TV shows do? _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

Pretty graphics, cool special effects, but science? No way. |

I think they do a remarkable job. They use the right techniques, and they use the right equipment. The main deviations from reality are simplifications required for story flow, like being able to get results rapidly when many tests take days. But I consider that pretty trivial. But the other CSI shows don't even come close to presenting clinical lab science accurately. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

But the other CSI shows don't even come close to presenting clinical lab science accurately. I agree with that. I gave up on the other two CSIs. They were really cheap versions of the original. Bad acting, horrific plots and uninteresting characters. They pale in comparison to the original. .. -- We must change the way we live, or the climate will do it for us. |

In other words, what they depicted as happening could not have happened in the way they described. I don't know how well they handle the lab stuff, I know electrical things much better, but my wife is a chemist and she always drools over the equipment they use. I've never heard her complain about the science techniques. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. |
