Episode Notes -  |
The segments recreating the Sherlock murder are shot in a visual style reminiscent of movie photography from the turn of the century, Sherlock Holmes' native time period.
The original airdate for this episode was the 151st anniversary of the widely accepted date of the birth of Sherlock Holmes.
Greg passes his final proficiency test to fully become a CSI.
Catherine Dent, the actress who played Kay is well known as Danny Sofer from "The Shield ".
Originally titled "Who Shot Sherlock Holmes?"
Allusions:
The method in which the murder weapon was concealed closely parallels the Holmes story "Thor Bridge" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Greg: 7% solution of cocaine; morphine
In the Holmes stories, Sherlock used a 7% solution of cocaine, during times of boredom.
The 7% Solution was later a movie in the 1970's, that dealt with Holmes's growing addiction to cocaine, and his treatment at the hands of Sigmund Freud.
And, in one of the stories, Holmes was found, by Watson, to be in an opium den, while in disguise. Whether or not he was taking opium is up for debate.
Grissom et al: n/a
Throughout the episode, there were many references to the various items relating to Sherlock Holmes. Among the items of interest are: The violin, the Deerstalker hat, the famous Meerschaum pipe, the 19th century syringe, the Persian slipper with tobacco in the toe.
Other Holmes references include mention of Reichbach Falls, where Holmes found Professor Moriatry.
Trivia:
When Sara is looking at the victim's laptop, it is clearly an IBM Thinkpad, but during the close up of the monitor, the label on the bezel is Dell.
Brass comments on Moriarty's English accent, "You know I think you've gotta drop the accent." Josh Frost/ Moriarty played by Sebastian Roché replies, "I can't. I'm English."
This belies the two factors of reality that most English people in fact can mimic many accents of the country, and indeed of Great Britain as a whole, especially if they are involved in thesbian activities such as the Sherlock Holmes society. The American participants certainly managed the affected aristocratic home counties English accent used in this scene. Secondly there are dozens of English accents, not just the one used here, so the idea that Josh Frost would have exactly the same English accent as Moriarty had in the stories is unlikely, but obviously chosen for the humour of the situation.
A far better and more realistic response would have been for Josh Frost to have replied in a different English accent, or maybe even a Welsh or Scottish accent, "That was my natural accent. Which accent would you prefer me to use." It would have produced more humour, and have shown the error of Brass's assumption more overtly.
Quotes:
Brass: You know, I think you'd better drop the accent.
Josh Frost (Prof. Moriarty) I can't. I'm English.
Grissom (Trying to talk to Greg who's listening to loud music): Greg. (He doesn't hear him) Hey, MTV boy!
(After Nick and Warrick made a ballistics gel dummy to prove a theory)
Catherine: What... what are you doing?
Nick: We're finishing up the case.
Catherine (scoffs): Do you have any idea how much ballistics gel costs?
Warrick: We had no idea you did.
Ecklie: I thought you told me you closed the Cory Demayo case. Catherine, nothing happens in this lab that I don't know about.
Catherine: Then I'm sure you know the case is now closed.
Ecklie: Did I make a mistake promoting you?
Catherine: Yeah, you should have given me the day shift. But I'm making it work.
(After they made a ballistics gel dummy to prove a theory)
Catherine: So I know that I've never said this to you guys before, but... hide the evidence.
Nick: Thanks for having our back.
Catherine: We're a team, guys.
Warrick: Since, we're a team are you gonna help us clean up?
Nick: Yeah. (Looks toward Cath)
Catherine (Laughing): No. I'm the boss. (Walks out)
Catherine: Congratulations boys, you killed the jeep.
(Greg is looking for a bullet in a puddle of blood)
Sara: Anyone for pizza?
Greg: Very funny... got it!
Sara: That's a BFB... BIG frickin' bullet.
(Nick bounces on the back of the car to make the ballistics gel dummy shake)
Catherine: Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, I get it.
Grissom: You do have two suspects with pipes
Greg: Yeah. And smoking kills
Greg: So, are you going to say 'the game's afoot'?
Grissom: I didn't know you were a Conan Doyle fan, Greg.
Greg: I'm not. I saw a Sherlock Holmes movie once ... by mistake. |
