Suck On This.

The CSI's are called in to investigate a body in a pool that turns out to be a CPR dummy and then they find out a priceless sword has been stolen. Or has it...or is it? This has all the great mystery of CSI with a good dose of humor. The look on Nick's face when he trys to print the recovered sword and ends up taking a chunk of it is great. The only thing that mars this episode is the other half of it. Catherine and Warrick investigate the death of a young girl who has had all of the blood drained out of her. It turns out she is one of "the lonely ones" or a vampire wannabe. With all the vials of blood, sharp incisors, and silly names, I thought I was watching an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer without any laughs. But back to the suckers, it's a jaunty good time that deserved it's own episode.
