So-So episode. Was wondering what Grissom meant by the word, sounded like 'bindle' when he pulled fiber from the first victim. The victim was the LAPD SES runner. Any thoughts?

The song at the beginning was "Starting Over" by The Crystal Method. It's the first song on their latest album "Legion of Boom". A lot of other good songs on this episode, but I only remembered this one.

One plot was too obvious (the wife did it) and the other had too many quick cuts among the suspects and their associates to keep track of who was who and why they might be murderers.

Hey twm1usa, what Grissom meant by "bindle" was that he'd rather risk slight contamination than to lose the fibre all together. Bindle is the little pouch that is used to store evidence, so in context, he'd get a bindle from the truck later but collect th

I really liked this episode, with the Baker-Vegas run. Though like raptor said, the plot was a little bit obvious, besides that, another awsome episode!

I like it when the csi team is seen outside of the lab. Cool marathon idea. Why was grissom not running?

This is one of my favourite episodes. I love the the choice of music for the beginning and the fact that you see the csi team outside of the lab having fun. One of my most highly rated episodes ever.

Cath and Griss were funny in the beginning of this episode. I'd just like to add that I would never run that far!!!

The song in the beginning with grissom is my favourite part but the episode wasn't that great.

If I'm thinking of the right episode then I give it an alright score. The better case was the guy and the stolen credit numbers. His line at the end was pretty funny, the other case involving the race seemed, empty. I was like, why did he get murdured aga
