When I can’t sleep, I stay up way too late watching TV, and sometimes I watch old episodes of CSI. I saw an episode where this woman had been kidnapped, put in a box and buried alive. They found her by flying over the desert with an infrared scanner and looking for body heat. They were able to find her even though she was in a box and underground.
Which begs the question-how come when Sara Sidle was lying under a car in the desert, which they knew because of the miniature model, how come they didn’t fly over the desert with the infrared scanner and look for her body heat? Instead, she stumbled through the desert for who knows how long, with Grissom and Catherine following her trail of stacked rocks.
Did they forget about the scanner thingy? Couldn’t they have found her much quicker that way? Or did the writer of that episode not see the buried-alive episode and therefore not know about the scanner thingy?
Continuity errors drive me nuts. Can you tell?
Oh, and P.S. Gary Dourdan? Totally on my List of Five. Because damn. The other four?
Jake Gyllenhaal
Matt Damon
Rob Morrow
Skeet Ulrich or Chris Noth (can I have both?)(at the same time? )
in case you were wondering 
C’mon, ‘fess up. Who’s on your List of Five?
Great point! I had seen both episodes but didn’t think of it that way until you pointed it out. Maybe the scanner thingy can see through dirt but not cars?!

But the scanner thingy saw through a wooden box! I guess the best thing to do with shows like that is not over-think it, huh? lol

Graham-Emily Proctor is so pretty. I would love to have hair like hers!
You make a really good point. I stay up and watch CSI reruns when I can’t sleep too, lol, but I never noticed the mistake. You know what this means don’t you? You’d make a good CSI:)

I love CSI! And you know, until you pointed it out, I never thought of the continuity issue there with the scanning! Nice find.

They had to figure out a way to kill her off, or at least they were trying to kill her off if I remember right.
Continuity errors just get me. And once we watch certain movies over and over and over again? Yeah, I can point them out and wonder wth the people were thinking.
