Hey Guys,
since I am trying to get my home clean I wanted to watch something I already know and I decided to rewatch CSI Vegas. I loved CSI so much. I loved the team. Few episode are still stuck in my head even after all that time. My love for CSI Vegas is so big but I never get warm with any of the spin offs like CSI Maimi oder New York.

What makes it special

The reason for that is totally clear. It is Grissom! Grissom’s character is such a perfect balance between creepy with all his bugs and knowledge and his way to never give up on anyone. What I always loved was his way to care so deeply for all of team but on the same time could be so focused at the evidence and the rules and that helped him to not take the horrors of the work home, while the other characters always say that Grissom doesn’t feel anything. This is the biggest thing I hate about this is this. Just look at Grissom and his hurt…just look.

Sara

Apparently a lot of people dislike Sara while I love her to pieces. She is not perfect, far from it. In the first season she is judgy and she let the cases way to close to her. While I love her for her big heart and the drive she has when she want to find justice for the victims. It makes her blind and you can also see how it breaks her. It is really interesting to see her journey from this judgy character with a clear black and white view of the world change over the seasons. To know were the story will get her… makes clear how young these characters still are and how much the need to learn.

Team Nightshift

The same way goes for Warrick. I love him and I root for him. I still do even when I know how his story goes. It is different to know his journey and how his story will end. But still I sit before the TV and be like please don’t do it or please just do it. You can do it. Nick is a little boring. I don’t remember much about is journay over the seasons. Greg was one of the person I loved so much, while rewatching the first season I asked myself why do I love him so much? He is just a little annoying and not really interesting. Maybe it changes in later season we will see. Catherine was never someone I liked. The premise of the character I really like. She has a special backstory, is a single mom going through a divorce. She is a strong character and lovely with her daughter. But she is… I don’t know how to describe it. She wants to look the other when she doesn’t think that it is fair. She tells people about an open case. She always takes the cases that she should do because she is way to close to it.

Unfriendly Skies

What I realized with this first season is that I have grown with it. When I started watching CSI I had a clear understanding of the black and white world. I was a lot like Sara with strong opinions and the idea of how to do things. Best example is one of my most memorable episodes ‘Unfriendly Skies’.

This episode stayed with me even after all this years. It is not so much the episode itself. More the last scene of the episode and the question what would you do to survive. The last scene is exactly that. Sara, Nick and Warrick are talking about what they would do in the situation of the passengers. Warrick was like I would save myself. Nick was like I don’t know and Sara was like I could never kill anyone. Catherine joins the conversation and was like I would do anything to protect my child, which even when I am not a mom is so relatable for me and always will be. When I started watching CSI Vegas I had the same opinion like Sara. I could not kill anyone – except when I am with my child to protect it. But killing is wrong no matter the reasons. But while watching the series I learnt more about the world. More about all the grey areas and stuff. I learnt that you never know how you would react. Now I am Nick. I don’t know what I would do…
Than Grissom comes in and says ‘Five people were necessary to kill him but one would be enough to save him.’ This gets me every time because he is right. We stopped carrying about other people we judge with out trying to find out what is the reason. While I know that one of the reason for that is the fear and most of the time we have these fears for good reasons, I know that we all judge way to fast and help way to little. I wish to be a little bit like Grissom.

CSI Vegas forever

I know that there are way better series than this. But I love it and I will always love it. For me it is so much nostalgia and like I said I grew up with this CSI Vegas. I learnt a lot and I always love it when I can get something out of the series. Even when it is unnecessary knowledge. For me especially the first season will always have special place in my heart.
