Comment 4 Things wrong with the show (Score 1) 815

I love CSI but it has a few problems that just irk me 1. All cases are sexy and interesting. I mean how many murders happen in Las Vegas in a given year. And each one is a love triangle or some serial killer. I mean most murders are crime related like with gangs or related to some you know like a husand killing a wife during an argument. Of course doing an hour show of some gang banger getting toasted for driving down the wrong street would be impossible plus could you see the interview with a gang banger swearing and that. 2. Notice that they have the evidence yet they still need a confession to wrap up the story. I mean that what the evidence is for so you do not have to listen to some bs tale of mistaken identity. Actually confessions bother me with a crime dramas like Matlock and CSI. Can this people not keep there mouth shut and wait for there day in court. Yet every time some idiot person tells the police how they did it. 3. Reality of Forensic science is it can be slow and plodding. But in CSI the compress it into a short video clip of the character hard at work with some nice music. WOw that 1 day of work only took 30 seconds.. and with a nice back beat. 4. Why or Why are the CSI people interviewing witnesses isn't that the job of the detective and police. What happened to police procedure. 5. The super cool programs and computers and gadgets. Let us forget how much they cost and how to good to be true they are. I mean I am not idiot when it comes to computers but some of those programs look to intuitive to use. Wow with a push of the button I have a map of the 5 city blocks with a picture of each resident that I suspect. Why have voter registration when you have that program. Yet the programs are connected to 20 different databases with no problem or lag or permission. I need to know which area of the city has a this kind of dirt and wow in ten seconds I have a nice map with all the details I need. But the main question was does this SHOW help put interest into forensic science and science in general. I would put this show like the movie Hackers was years ago. Idiots got interested in computer hacking and did not put the work and time into being actual computer hackers. So yes people get interested but it all ends up for naught and generally wasted peoples time both the wannabees and the all ready theres. Skippy
