I ordered this title off amazon and watched it the second it came through my letter box. This episode is a very unique one considering that it focuses on the kidnapping of a CSI and not a member of the public. An interesting concept that is shown at the beginning is the "If only..." theory. The reason Nick is sent to the scene is because of a flip of a coin. Would this episode be any different if Warrick went instead? Usually during a large storyline like this the acting is usually spread out and ultimately dreadful. But, unlike other TV programs, the CSI actors do an amazing job of showing off their skills and emotions. The scene half way through when they discover the video link to Nicks coffin is well very acted. Usually my favourite character has to be Catherine Willows while Nick is towards the bottom of the list, but in this episode George Eads acting gives the viewer sympathetic connection to him, you WANT him to get out and you want him out ALIVE. The scene where he wakes up in the coffin is very disturbing, especially when he bangs the wall and screams. Usually a man screaming is disturbing in its own right, but here it lets the viewer feel uncomfortable knowing that this guy who is very well built and over 6 foot is frightened and very scared. Overall I give this episode 10 out of 10 and has got to be one of the best episodes of any TV series that I have ever watched.
