Maybe I'm all alone out there but this second part of season 7 somewhat disappointed me. Having started off so strongly from the first part, they seemed to have ran out of ideas in the second part of the season. Don't get me wrong, I love all the CSI series and particularly this original set, but you just wonder if they've exhausted all the posible ways to kill somebody and just recycling some of the older ideas. The miniature murder case was an anticlimax that merely served to end the season on a cliffhanger while the Ending Happy episode was something that's been done before, it felt cheap and devoid of ideas back then, and it's even worst now that they've recycled it again. The developement of the main characters is virtually non existent while Grissom and Sara's love tangle just gets more and more frustrating to watch. We've had 5 seasons of tension already, just how much longer does the writers think they can drag this out for without coming to a definite conclusion?

This could have been the best season with such strong stories from the beginning, but I think the writer's strike probably disrupted the flow half way through the season and it showed with a few episodes that seemed out of place. Let's hope they can get back to form come next season.
