CSI: MIAMI “Stoned Cold” Season 9 Episode 14

This was by far the worst CSI episode I have seen of any kind. This episode was so badly written that I really don’t think I’ll watch another CSI Miami episode as long as I live. I really think that “Stoned Cold” was a perfect title for this episode but not just because of how the murder was committed but also because of how the team conducted themselves, especially Horatio. There’s a huge difference between remaining objective and being “Stone Cold” like the team was. At no point did they have any conflict as to what had been going on and at no point did they have any empathy for the real victims. The fact that Blair had driven at least one person (probably more) to suicide (which was averted because his mother stopped him) was completely ignored by them. The fact that she was an evil psychopath didn’t dawn on them either. Who are these people working at CSI:Miami, the Keystone Cops? At no point did the team investigate the school board for forcing the principal to stand mute and impotent in the face of Blair’s evil onslaught. In other episodes we have seen the team bend the rules and decline to press hard enough to get the answers because they knew that the death of the “victim” made the world a much better place for everyone else. Blair’s mother’s actions should have easily told them what kind of a person she was but again, that was ignored. The writers essentially said to the world “If you’re being bullied to the point that you want to die and going through the proper channels has no effect, too bad, you have to suffer and perhaps die because if you do what is required to stop it you will go to jail for the rest of your life. Congratulations CSI writers! You have proven your lack of intelligence and lack of personal responsibility. You failed to realise that pop culture shapes the opinions of the average human and CSI is definitely a part of pop culture. People who are being bullied will get the impression from this episode that they really have nowhere to turn. I hope that you can sleep at night and if you can, you’re as worthless and stupid as Blair’s mother and best friend, two characters that you created specifically to be mindless and delusional.
