Trivia
The following quote pokes fun at another CBS hit show, the original CSI series. In that series, the Crime Scene Investigators take on a larger role than their actual counterparts in the real world, who would never interrogate criminals or question witnesses.

[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 all wanna play cop instead of just being scientists, and they end up trampling on everything.

Goofs
At the beginning of the Prologue, Spencer is seen wearing yellow sneakers. When he walks down the stairs, he is wearing brown leather shoes.

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 !
