CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (TV Series) Feeling the Heat (2003) User Reviews

Hodgepodge

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 21 January 2021]

Three interesting cases. The first is a tragedy that occurs every summer. A man is supposed to drop his little boy off at day care and goes to work, leaving the baby in his seat. The baby dies from the intense heat. This would be a pretty typical case, but there are factors that are discovered. The episode draws our sympathies nicely, but..... The second is the drowning of a young woman who meets up with a young guy at a beach and the two of them end up in a sad situation. The use of different possibilities works well here. Finally, an obese man who is trying to lose weight is found dead in his chair. He appears to have been electrocuted but how can this be. These vignettes work quite well. Good overall episode, including a truly sad conclusion.

Heat Wave

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 27 December 2022]

The heat wave in Las Vegas is intense. Out of the blue, a woman sees a baby locked in a car in the parking area of a mall and asks for help, and a man breaks the window. However, the baby is dead and Capt. Brass, Grissom and Catherine investigate the case. Soon the baby's father Paul Winston appears and says that he forgot to leave the baby in the daycare since it was not his routine. Meanwhile Nick and Sara investigate the case of a young woman, Sophia Renatta, who was found dead in a lake. They find that she met a young man, Mark Young, and they rented a jet ski to ride, but they never have come back. Warrick investigate the death of a man at home with no apparent cause.

"Feeling the Heat" is an episode of "CSI" with two accidental deaths and the murder of a healthy baby. The hurried decision of the parents that believed the baby had Tay-Sachs disease and do not wait for the results of the exams is very sad. My vote is eight.

Three Stories That Aren't What They First Appear

[ccthemovieman-1 · 9 December 2006]

There is a heat wave going on in Las Vegas and people are asked to be especially careful. In a parking lot, a woman returning to her car notices a baby inside another SUV. She calls for help, someone smashes the window but it's too late: the infant inside is dead. A few minutes later, the father comes out and sees what has happened.

A short time later, "Chief Deputy Jeffrey Sinclair" comes into the crime lab and tells Catherine he wants to press charges against this guy, to make him an example for others who carelessly leave babies in locked cars. (Grissom had remarked earlier that this was the 12th baby to die like this in the past year in Vegas.)

The second story involves a dead woman found by police floating near the shoreline of a lake. Nick and Sara investigate. "Dr. Al Robbins (Robert David hall), the medical examiner, says the woman died of a severe blow to the head. A guy who took her out on the boat is missing.

In a third case, Warrick is called to a house where the superintendent found a tenant sitting dead in his easy chair. The big guy apparently had come home after a three-mile run and collapsed. It looked like heat stroke, especially since he was taking a dangerous diet drug. Gil, taking himself off the baby case and leaving that to Catherine, comes to help Warrick.

As it turns out, not all of these stories turned to out to be crimes. One or more of these were just accidents, but I won't say which. All of these stories aren't what they first appear, either.
