Quotes:

[Walking into a messy crime scene in the middle of the desert]
David Rossi: It's not exactly a well preserved scene.
Emily Prentiss: It's the crime scene investigators. They wanna play cop instead of just being scientist. And they end up trampling on everything.

furious after the writers

usually i appreciate this show, (even if think that mandy patinkin was the most interesting character) but this season, they're really going down. apparently, to copy the scenario from the "csi"/"fbi without a trace" crossover in the "catching out" episode wasn't stupid enough so now, they set the investigation in Las Vegas, and criticize the crime scene lab ! if they want csi success, they should get good writers, first, it will be more fair play and second they would be less ridiculous. i'm very very angry !!! if they keep on going down this road, they won't just be less and less interesting, they'll get boring. i hope that they'll soon make progress, or they'll just become like csi Miami, my substitute for a sleeping pill !
