Trivia

Mark and Mac mention a quote by Einstein: "God doesn't play dice with the universe". This oft-quoted saying was originally made by Einstein in his native German: "Raffiniert ist der Herrgott, aber boshaft ist er nicht." A more accurate translation of this is "God is clever but he is not perverse."

Goofs

When Mac first goes into the hotel room where he finds the dead bodies, there is clearly blood on the end of the partially opened bathroom door. However, later when the team is looking at the crime scene photos, no blood is on the end of the door.

Quotes

[about James stumbling around New York covered in blood and wielding an ax]
Det. Don Flack: He was out of his mind. They had to transport him back to the precinct in a body bag.

User Reviews

proper procedure

over the years, i've found it quite pointless to interrogate a suspect who is under the influence of a hallucinogen....it's also dangerous to the suspect and other officers to handcuff them and leave them in the box...they are much better off restrained in a hospital until their trip is over...before that, one is simply wasting one's time......also, Kanakaredes reminds me of sig weaver's character in galaxyquest in almost every episode i've seen her in....also, i've never seen csi's first on scene without uniform support and i worked n.y. for 30 years....one more thing before i split....Kanakaredes!, cover up, half the time we see you, you are dressed inappropriately....in my day, you would have been sent home to change, where are your official coats anyway.....well, that's all i have.......thanks and god bless.
