Zenister 0 #1 May 7, 2005 is pissing me off... i was enjoying the series so far... then they start with the pseudo-science about radar..... i guess 'wuffos' would never know otherwise but the way they are abusing how weather radar works and what it can and cant detect is simply ridiculous... CSI gets equally silly everytime they say 'can you enhance' security camera footage... shows like this would be soooo much better if they stuck to facts to make their plots, but writing for the lowest common denominator makes more money....wouldnt want viewers to have to learn anything...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

skycat 0 #2 May 7, 2005 I like these shows and NCSI, even though I know most of it is bunk. Being and EE and working in the computer industry I know what can and can't be done, but it's entertainment and I look at it like watching star trek.....someday we could be there with the tool and stuff.Fly it like you stole it!

lawrocket 3 #4 May 7, 2005 QuoteCSI gets equally silly everytime they say 'can you enhance' security camera footage... There is actually something called the "CSI Effect" in criminal prosecutions. Juries believe what they see in CSI, so they expect to see things like enhanced video and other things. They wonder why the prosecution does not present all the evidence they see in the CSI shows. Defense attorneys actively search for jurors who watch CSI. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALL Of those shows abuse some reality during each episode. out of all the CSI's I like the original because the blonde is HOT! lol I was watching csi miami and some guy shot down a plane with a laser pointer. i thought that was pretty funny. (i know, there will be poepl ewho say it happened on the news, but thats bullshit.) if a laser blinded a pilot is WAS NOT the laser you buy at radioshackMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
