Excellent twist ending.

The worst to be continued episode yet, leaves to many lose ends for me to even care.

I really liked this one - a good twist. And I'm pretty sure that the actor playing Zephyr was the guy who played the psycho in the original Red Dragon with 'Grissom'. Maybe they're still friends?

Tom Noonan is so great- and a good twist that he revisited WP (prev from Manhunter as Dollarhyde). Also he got away w the key.....

THE best episode ever. Point blank, period. I always watched the show before this one came on, but this is the one that got me hooked.

I recognized Tom Noonan early on but it took me till almost the end of the episode to make the Manhunter connection. What a great reunion! Awesome!!

Magic? Fake? Both? The speech of the guy who nails himself on a cros, about the fake of magic, is awesome. Even this tatoo is fake. Ha ha ha I can't stop laughing.

This was so twisted! the ending was really awesome! I also appreciated the sara's line: "Lets take it back to the lab, see if we can make Greg dissappear..." Nice....

Good plot, but nothing exceptional about the episode. Had some interesting twists along the way though.

Lots of twists in d end - a not-bad-but-there-are-better episode for me

To be honest I was bored with the beginning and middle of the episode, but the ending turns it all around. I had to watch this episode twice to know what was going on though. Does Zephyr return? I missed the Manhunter connection until just now.

Really good, special ending, nice story. Grissom was so good. Loved it

Loved it. Very good. One of my favourites. How cool was the printing the charred finger thing? Gross! I loved that! Go Sara! Cool quote! Sadly for her, I don't think Greg will dissapear. I loved the thing at the end! Very unexpected!

Good ep with lots of twists. I hope the Tom Noonan chatacter returns some time. The Samatha Dean chatacter wasn't very convincing.

Good episode...I was suprised Grissom didnt make the connection between the flaps of skin in Zephyr's sons throat and Zephyr escaping..sort of a flaw in the writing but the finger thing was a good touch.. its like "The Finger" revisited..Good acting by WP
