Quotes:

[a body is missing from the morgue]
Ryan Wolfe: You know, what I want to know is how Ed got up and got out of here without any one seeing him.
Dr. Alexx Woods: My staff isn't trained to watch the living.

Aw, Curses!

"Do you play golf, Trevor?

"Yeah. Is that illegal or something?

"No, but killing your wife is!"

Doesn't that sound like so many kind of lines you hear on the CSI programs when they interview several suspects each show? I almost never hear someone questioned from a CSI man or woman, who answers to them respectfully. They are always punks, male or female, young or old, white or black. Every week you see a stream of suspects you want to slap in the face!

Anyway, we have a dead woman lying on the floor in a house, probably killed with some blunt force object. She has a little toy coffin placed on top of her. What is that all about? Apparently, some voodoo-type thing as Eric and Ryan find a nearby closet with a goat's head. Eric says it's some voodoo curse and since he's Catholic, he doesn't want to touch it. Gee, I hope all Catholics don't believe that nonsense.

This is one of the corniest shows I've seen, with all the manipulations regarding the voodoo (real one minute, fake the next, back and forth) but it was still entertaining and, once again, fantastically photographed and computerized. The night shots at the cemetery were absolutely stunning. The incredible colors on this TV show amaze me every week.
