 So true - whenever I see this stuff in CSI I shout at the screen "that's rediculous, you can't just zoom in like that!" It's so silly how they seem to have computers connected to every CCTV camera in the city, with limitless resolution, or they just "enhance" and magically crucial extra detail appears out of literally a blur. Their rediculously over-the-top computer OSes annoy me too. Face it - the real investigators use XP or such like. _________________

I can spot faults in all of their lab skills. Also since when do forensics question suspects,or is it common in the US?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'm not sure which of the CSIs it is of the more recent two, or maybe it's both, but I can't see past the room with all the ridiculous orange lighting, some of it close to floor level by the look of it - unless I'm missing something to do with light wavelengths or something, it just looks tacky and cheesy as fcuk  I've always wondered if that was the case in the US - can't see it somehow  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I prefer NCIS nowadays, it doesn't take its science seriously, heck, it doesn't really take anything other than Jethro seriously

that wasnt intentional, its the light bouncing off Horatio's hair  i quite like CSI, probably because im starting to see all the ridiculous computer work as a form of self-parody, its getting too silly to make sense otherwise

This. It's daft, unrealistic, has some terrible one liners from Horatio but it is brilliant viewing. _________________ My Flickr PageNow with added ball and chain.

Yes, the infinite zoom is rather bizzare. Speaking as an analytical chemist the main thing in pretty much every show of this sort that bugs me is the speed their machines spit out result (even including the bleedin' inkjet printers that are faster than most laser printers). I know that it's technically possible to perform some analyses in a very short space of time but most types of chromatography and DNA analyses take at the very least a couple of minutes if not hours. Still, I suppose that doesn't make for very entertaining TV. I like NCIS over the CSI's because they actually do mention that things take time and also don't have quite the same degree of zany OS's. And it doesn't take itself as seriously. And the DVD box sets, so far at least, contain the entire season and aren't split into Season X part 1 and part 2  And finally, I refer you to this CSI
