CS Eye

Was it just me, or was Thursday's CSI episode the nastiest, goriest episode the series has ever run -- and thus, one of the nastiest, goriest hours in network broadcast TV history?

Written by Jerry "Permanent Midnight" Stahl -- CSI's specialist in the weird -- the episode revolved around the torture, mutilation and death of the college-age daughter of Lady Heather, Grissom's dominatrix ex-squeeze. Apart from the eye enucleation scenes, the usual y-cut autopsied corpses, the sampled bodily fluids, the torture, and the horrifying conditions in which the victims were found, the themes in the episode themselves were spectacularly creepy.

At least this time we skipped our usual habit of eating dinner while watching CSI.
