Well, most of this show turned out to be an interesting flashback to 1997, just before a new CSI Crime Lab was instituted and Horatio being named to head it.
I was wondering how they would make the central characters look younger and the makeup people did a good job, smoothing over wrinkles on David Caruso, Emily Proctor, Rex Linn and others. It was good to see "Alex" (Khandi Alexander) once again and too bad they didn't show Rory Cohrane ("Tim Speedle"), although they did mention him as someone "H" should look into with his new unit.
The program is mainly about a case back then and how Eric Delko and Calleigh Duquesne wound up teaming with Horatio on a case, impressing him a lot to the point where Caine asks Eric to consider police-work as a new vocation and is taken with Calleigh's expertise. It's all interesting background stuff, to see how the current team was formed.
The present-day story is only seen in the beginning and at the end and deals with Delko, whether he will live or die after being discovered by the team near-death in a swamp. There no suspense, because know he's going to live. Apparently (I missed last season), Eric was driving a truck straight at Calleigh and the latter shot him to avoid being killed.
