What seemed like a fantastic opportunity, Without a Trace's Lapaglia and CSI's Peterson playing odd couple, is pushed to the back seat behind a dull case involving some missing kid and a low rent psycho, the very watchable John Hawkes. It's nothing more than dull episodes of both shows mushed together. The writers bring these two together and all they can come up with is this generic fluff? Having said that, there are some good moments. Brass gets upset over Jack's helicopter entrance, Jack slams Hodges when he puckers up in his oh so obvious way, and one of Grissom's old lines, "Sometimes to go fast, you have to go slow," is pushed aside by the typically Jack response of, "I like to go faster by going fast." It's not as much of a disaster as it could have been, unlike the snore fest that is the Without a Trace half, but something more personal for the teams, like connecting two old cases Tammi Felton style, would have made for much more exciting television.
