Short but still brilliant

Whilst the Writers' Strike left this season feeling a little empty, the quality of the show continues to shine through. The conclusion to the Sara Saga is excellently pulled off and will certainly bring a tear to the eye of the most faithful CSI fan. Some of the episodes are a bit poor - such as the story of the young lad who develops breasts - but these are balanced out by the other episodes.
Shame there's not as many episodes as there normally are but worth the purchase all the same.

I was really looking forward to season 8 after season 7s cliffhanger episode. But I have to say I was really disapointend with it. It's not the fact that the series was cut short, it's the fact that the storylines were utter rubbish. This series could have be released on 1 box set but it hasn't so this makes it a total rip off. I shall not be tuning in for series 9 of CSI.
Another great season, however suffered due to the writer's strike!

Season 8 of CSI picks up directly where Season 7 concluded, with Sara Sidle trapped under a car in the Nevada Dessert, making for a thrilling season opener. The second episode features the team coming to grips with Grissom and Sara's relationship, however not such a good episode in my opinion. Ep 3, "From Hell", is another strange yet brilliant episode. Ep 4 follows the story of a boy found hanging off a tree with mutilated breasts. Episode five, even though it lacks Grissom, is fantastic. Ep 6 is a fantastic crossover with "Without a Trace". Episode seven, we bid farewell to Sara. Episode 8 is a funny episode focusing on the lab rats once again. Episode nine sees Warrick framed for murder. Episode 10 sees illegal dog fighting. A man is killed by a bull in ep 11. And the team fight the flu in ep 12.
All in all, twelve fantastic episodes.
However it does have it's bad points:
1. The total disappearance of Louise Lombard's character after episode 1.
2. The amount of episodes that hardly feature Grissom at all.
3. The fact that the season only had 17 episodes, leaving Volume 2 dvd with five episodes.
