Yeah.. i know... some topic to blog about, huh? Well, being recently graduated and jobless, i became more of a couch potato... well semi-couch potato coz i spent my free time, (which is all the time) in front of the computer or TV. And they played re-runs of CSI : NY except now they replaced it with CSI : Miami... anyway, i got stuck watching CSI everyday and became addicted to it... And yeah, the show is freakin' awesome! but wisely unlogic. I mean, of course we all know that it's just a TV show and murder cases obviously don't get solved in one day, let alone one hour... but it's just the matter of humoring and thinking how funny these unlogicness could be...
First of all, it's seriously magical how every fiber they find in homicide cases... even gross thingies that are like 1mm big can be used as evidence. Meaning, the murderers always leave behind something, even as small as an amoeba that later can be found by those super-smart csi people to be traced back to them... Looking at the carpet of my own house. There's like 10000000 billion particles of crap i dont even know what they are in all sizes. And no matter how hard i vacum-clean the carpet, they're still there (or at least 30% of them). So i was thinking, what if i was murdered and lay there on that carpet, can all those chip left-overs, flees, dust, hair strands and UFOs be used as evidence to find my murderer? And most ridiculously... in one day..? But it's okay, coz it's always fun to watch these people using magic science to find the crap, the one piece of crap that stands out from the rest. Probably screaming "pick me! i'm the killer's boger not hers!!"
Second of all... isn't a science lab, like a sacred place for CSI dudes to do their jobs? Since any skin marks, hair, vapour, steam can spoil the evidence they collected? Okay so the producers made them wear science lab coats and gloves so they look cool and made a whole new evolution to the nerds and geeks fashionline. But what about the hair? Just look at Buenasera's (CSI NY) long curls bouncing all over the place in the science lab. Don't tell me she uses miracle hairspray that confirms her hair is stuck permenantly to her head and it wouldnt tamper with the evidences, which at some time turned out to be skin cells.. (ewwww!!!) yeah okay, so they can eliminate her in any analysis they do (in one hour of investigation, woohoo!) but still, dont people have protocols and rules on what they should wear in science labs? Then again, producers might want them to remain looking pretty for viewers rates...
And thirdly, it's just amazing how CSIs know so much!!! In one episode where this indiana jones lookalike dude gets murdered, all of a sudden Mac Taylor revised history on the spot like he was reading out of a textbook! He just freaking knows everything!!!. I mean come on! And the fact that they know ALL medical term by heart. One mention of a scientific phrase and they know the decease! i'm telling you, without having to research or look it up. Okay fine, probably the writers want to cut it short and didnt show viewers the research and readings but they didnt eliminate the part where it's all done and solved in one sweet day... Hahaha...! seriously i love this show! Those people are geniuses!
Hehe... i know, i'm probably looking like i'm ruining the awesomeness of CSI to everyone. But trust me i'm a huge CSI addict. It's just that some thoughts keep bugging my head and i'm just letting it out. I'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks about this... But in order to enjoy the TV show, my advise is to just don't think about it. I mean, besides being good looking and all (Detective Flack... ahh...), they can still be geniuses... Right?
hehe.. anyways... i love CSI...!
