CSI: Cyber (TV Series) 404: Flight Not Found (2016) User Reviews

Yes, a top episode

For me this is one of the best episodes of CSI: Cyber. Tension in all directions: a serious contribution from Brian Howe as the pilot, but contributions all round (although Eiljah didn't get to leap over as many fences/cars as usual!). The Artie Sneed character added a hugely needed lightening balance to what was otherwise a fairly knuckle-chewing script. Marcus Giamatti brings so much to that recurrent role with his comedic talent! I'm really sad that CBS stopped the series at two seasons: it seemed to me that the characters were all still developing. The writers might have to work to develop the upper characters more (although Avery's, Elijah's and DB's marital situations might give fertile soil) but surely there was room for sympathetic development for Raven, Brody, Krumitz and now Artie Sneed. Winding up when the show was just getting under way was the wrong decision by CBS management. (Oh look, we've got CSI: Vegas on the horizon! Maybe the current management could have another look at the profitability of CBI: Cyber?) As for these reviewers who are rating this down on the basis of credibility, this is a TV series: what do you expect? You have to suspend disbelief! My favourite is the point in any (all) cop shows where we are looking at a 16 (or even 4) pixel image, and our hero says "can you zoom in and enhance?" and all of a sudden we're looking at a multi-megapixel view of the target. Come on, if you can accept that, you can accept anything! Just enjoy!

This is the best Epidode of Cyber !

I really enjoyed CSI Cyber 404 Flight Not Found! It's is by far the best episode. All the tech data and concepts of what Criminals can do is very intriguing! Patricia Arquette is very convincing. The Special effects were very good!! We need more shows like this, so that people can be more aware of what can happen when hackers break into systems.

I was on edge the entire show.

I missed seeing Ted Danson on the show.

I wish CBS would move CSI CYBER to Tuesday and swap or delete Limitless!!

Thanks CBS !

Worst episode of CSI Cyber so far.

Don't let the summary mislead you. I really DO like CSI: Cyber. But when it comes to aviation, Hollywood doesn't seem to have ANY idea about what can and can't be done in the world of flying.

First example:a co- pilot with an insulin pump???? Really???? I have my commercial license and I can not get my medical renewed because I take insulin. And the pilots with an ATP (airline transport rating), which covers all airline pilots, have far stricter health requirements. So, to me, this was an impossibility.

When the flight finally appears on the screen, it is about 500 miles off the coast (almost on top of Bermuda), yet it is announced that we'll scramble jets and they'll be there "in a few minutes". Let's see ... do the math ... 500 miles ... even at 1,500 mph = 20 minutes minimum.

There were many other points that had me groaning or laughing. In the end this was a poorly written episode. I will continue to watch the series, but I hope the producers take another look at the writing credentials of the screenwriter. This was just lazy writing and a lazy production.

The events are not very believeble.

This episode is abt the plane being hacked & hijacked to kill a witness. According to the story there are 71 passagers + 4 crew members onboard, but they show footage of a B-747 but the cabin has 3 seats-aisle-3 seats. Also if a plane has lost communication and is sticking to the hacked flightplan, and the flight is an domestic one overland in the USA, I'll think any captian would be on alert if the flightplan is directing him/her eastboud over the Altlantic Ocean. Also I am also getting very irritated by the fact that on scenes shot inside the FBI Cyber building you see a large amount of people crossing the floor behind or infront of the main characters every 3-5 seconds, and they carry files in their arms. Really, files inside a Cyber division. Very annoying and stupid.
