Tarantino's CSI : anyone else catch it?

[Shane Martin]

This was definitely CSI with a twist. His witty dialog was not there but the story/plot was.

PQ in HDTV was something else though.

[Bent]

Yup, it was a radical departure from the normal episodes, but what's with the oddball character development in the locker room at the start?

And I think they could have done something a little less obsure than the gal in the prison - but she did give me the creeps though.

Great episode.

[Radec]

I enjoyed it.
I wasn't big on the whole dream sequence/autopsy scene...just didn't think it was much to it or a need for it. Other than that, good story and the PQ in HD was very nice.

[George Bellefontaine]

Sheesh, I forgot to watch it.

[Andrew Pratt]

I enjoyed it a lot and thought that for the most part it was well done...it certianly had its typical Tarantino moments incl. the above mentioned autopsy scene.

[David Meek]

The autopsy scene was the weakest point IMO. And that's only because it went on too long. A little hallucination due to all the venom from the fire ants swarming all over his body was a nice touch, but taken as a whole it was too much.

One other thing that felt a little out of place was Stokes' father's response when he saw him on screen in the coffin. "Aww, Pancho what have you gotten yourself into?" I mean, what was that?

Overall though, if this is representative of Tarantino's TV work then they need to have him direct another episode or two per season. :T

I watched it and thought it was really well done. I would give my vote for a couple Tarantino episodes per season.

[gostan]

Most 2 hour end of season episodes tend to be expanded versions of the 1 hour regular shows and should really only be a 90 minute episode. Tarrantino's CSI kept me interested for the full 2 hours and was a welcome diversion to the normally overdone typical CSI episodes of late.

[Andrew Pratt]

I read somewhere this was Tarantion's way to test the waters to see how he liked the TV world...he's apparently got some idea's floating around that would be better suited to a TV series then a movie so this was a fun way to get a feel for the medium.

[David Meek]

IIRC, he and some of the cast ran into each other in a hotel lobby, got to kibbitzing, and since everyone got along so well the idea was hatched to have him direct an (or some) episodes.

I didn't catch it, darnit, I wanted to...
