This case is referred to as an 'eminant domain' murder by one of the CSI workers here (Eric) which means, among other things, someone (a councilman) was found in an empty house which was slated for demolition by a city developer.
Have you ever noticed how developers are always the bad guys on television shows? They are always shown as heartless pigs who are needlessly evicting people, usually poor and of color. This is different in that fairly affluent white people are being tossed from a decent neighborhood from some bigwig named "Preston" who wants to make a (financial) killing. Along the way, writers put in a cheap shot against capitalism, too. (I wonder if they feel the same when they get their huge weekly paycheck?)
Anyway, Ryan Wolfe is the main man in this case, which begins with an interesting scene about "bloaters," people who have been dead for about four days and will literally burst from the inside out if a medical examiner doesn't "pop" them. It's gross, but it was interesting.
The story was okay; nothing extraordinary, and very computer-enhanced visually, but that's fine with me. I like the stylish look, even if it's obvious in some scenes (check the hues on the skies all the time). It's still, I assume, the most colorful show (literally) on TV.
