Good enough to have been a non-hollywood made movie.

The only error was the listing of the actor who played Sam Hopkins, the agent. It's listed here as Dan Stark, when it's actually Don Stark (perhaps best known for his work as Bob Pinciotti on "That 70's Show") Great episode all around :)

It was funny when catherine was like "i made one of these for my 5th grade science project and i lost to a kid with a red ant colony. wait that was you (as in grissom)!" and grissom was like from then i knew that bugs always won. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE

i agree with Dance2nite926. cath's comment about the ant farm was funny. i only saw half of the episode, and from what i saw, it wasnt that interesting...

Another bomb episode. I liked this one, and sara and warrick's case was pretty cool too.

Make a bomb is like a make a volcano. That's a big true and also a nice metaphore.

Man I liked this episode. The whole double life hook was good. I knew from the get go the husband wasn't the one who did it but I was still surprised through out the episode. And the case with the singer's wife, I was surprised it was a clean cut suicide

Great episode. I love the one with the guy with the double life. The way Cath and Grissom were talking about the science fair was a good input.

The feet left in the car was a nice touch, as was the Gris/Cath conversation about the science fair.

i liked the covo between griss n cath about the ant farm, they make great chemistry together-no offence all u griss/sara shippers, but cath n griss would make a cute couple and greg/sara would too! :)
