had the realization today that the reason why early seasons of csi are, i feel, stronger than later ones is bc there's so many episodes early on where the person who commits murder has genuinely been a victim, did it unintentionally, or is otherwise a good person

meanwhile the Cop Show Syndrome takes over about halfway thru the show and they're either all "mentally ill" or do it for kicks

#watching s1 again has made me sit here like. oh wow this first season has a LOT of episodes where #the culprit is actually a good person and it was a shitty circumstance #like the one where two teens got high at a desert rave and had a bad trip. and one friend killed the other #and genuinely didn't remember it and was Devastated. and it's played like the tragedy it is #or the one where a little girl is killed in a hit and run by a teenage boy. but his grandfather tries to take the charges for him #only for the csis to find out it was actually the teenage son based on the evidence #or the one where a teenage girl and her little sister are the only survivors of her family being murdered #which happened bc the older daughter was repeatedly raped by her father and then became pregnant with. you guessed it. the little sister #who then was Also raped by their father and the older daughter had Enough of letting that happen And the rest of her family letting it go o #like. that one is the Messiest out of all of them/there's still a level of 'you didn't need to go that far' to it #but as compared to some of the later more vindictive characters...#and all of those are just in the first... 6-7 episodes iirc?#don't get me wrong. there's still unapologetic murderers in the early half of the show. but they become way more prevalent down the line #and !! i just think it weakened the show !!!#anyway. csi autism moment over. goodbye.#i say things
