What a bad show! The writing! Oh, it makes me cringe more than seeing Ryan Wolfe screaming with a nail sticking out of his eye. That was actually kind of entertaining, if you're amused by such things (and I sometimes am...but only if it's bad enough. This qualifies). Cop: Divorce is Brutal. Horatio Caine (eying the corpse): It's a killer. This-- this?--stays on the air while Blind Justice is canceled? What is wrong with the world. My thoughts exactly!! Not only that, but anyone noticed the "filler factor" -- my pet peeve -- here? They spend entirely too much time wandering around, peering thoughtfully at fingerprints and lifting gunk from under fingernails while creepy moody music plays. And apparently the state of Florida has not paid its electric bill. It is much too dark to be a real lab. Maybe that's how Ryan will continue to do his job, because he was already used to working in the dark. And oh, how I love David Caruso's acting range: from sullen to sullen. Hoo boy! Give that guy an Emmy!  |

What got me was that the guy is in a regular hospital bed, not an ER gurney...the doc comes in with a pair of what looks like VISEGRIPS and tells this guy...no sedation, nothing..."Hold STILL". What the??? And Ryan walks out of the hospital, with nothing more than a couple of butterfly bandaids? Please!!!!! And they said there wasn't enough plausiblility to Blind Justice. See what the CSI groupies have to say about this episode: www.csifiles.com/reviews/miami/nailed.shtml |

Not only that, but in the promos for the episode, they gave the impression it was a life-threatening injury. Then he's treated and released? Must be managed care . . . |

Man, just dodged another series of tornadoes again this evening  This is definitely getting old!!! Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly about this ep! While it was certainly major cringe-time  , I couldn't believe he actually walked out o fthe hospital the same day! It looked like the nail entered to the right of the eye, hitting the side of the nose. How did it damage his eye? How does it make him lose his sight? And they said BJ was far-fetched!Puleezeee!!! |

Glad to hear the twisters missed you again! ;D Is this kind of thing supposed to happen in November??? Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly about this ep!

Based on what I've read, the problem with his eyesight supposedly develops because of an infection following the injury. |

I was out of town when this episode aired. I finally got around to watching it last night and I have to say that this show is atrocious! How does it stay on the air? David Caruso can't act. He is painful to watch! He tries these "looks" but he just comes across as ridiculous.
I ended up fast-forwarding through the episode and only watched the parts with the nail-in-the-eye. That, too, was less than stellar, but I'll keep TiVoing to see how it plays out.
My personal favorite part of "Nailed" was when the guy was driving him to the hospital and said he was heading east on Flagler. I'm sure all of the Miamians watching (myself included) were ROTFL. If he'd been on Flagler Street, he would've been lucky to drive 30 mph with all the traffic. He was actually driving on the Julia Tuttle Causeway. Why not say that???

They were always (and I mean ALWAYS) claiming to be on the 405 or the 101 near Hollywood or Los Angeles or some other place in the city but they were clearly on the 14 in the Santa Clarita Valley or even as far north as the Antelope Valley. This always confused me because, according to CHiPs, Hollywood was a bleak deserted wasteland with tumbleweeds. Very silly. |

While it looked pretty gruesome I didn't think it damaged his eye. And what happened to all the antibiotics they load everyone down with now? And thanks for the concern. November is pretty late for tornadoes but this year has been strange to say the least! Tuesday, with the storms we were in the 60's. Today the high was around 20 and snow flurries! Indiana weather, wait 10 minutes and it will change ;D |

Good heavens! What goes on here? Ridiculous plot involving a gang of internet gamers who act out their game for real and all apparently turn into monsters so they can score more points. At one point they break into the crime lab with their automatic weapons and ski masks and--apparently there's no security there. Oh, and Nailgun Guy looks perfectly normal. Not so much as a scratch or a black eye or anything to show that in last week's episode, he was being rushed to the hospital with a nail protruding from his eye socket. I don't know for sure where they're going with that story, but it should be snarkable, if the rest of the show is any indication.
Could someone please please please put David Caruso out of his misery? How anyone can bear to watch him is beyond me. The way he strikes a pose before speaking, trying to affect a faraway look in his eye to take the place of actual depth, hands on hips, head tilted at a rakish angle, Sunglasses of Justice in all his pasty glory...it really needs to end.
See? I put this in the right category. I can't talk about this show without doing at least a little bit of ranting.
And they say Blind Justice wasn't realistic enough???
Sorry. Thought I was done, but that last thing just had to be said.

ITA! I started watching the show last night, but between Caruso and another bad Miami reference, I had to turn it off. The other cop (sorry, don't know his name) said he was at the bank on Flagler (again!). Y'know, Miami does have more than just Flagler Street. LOL! I have it on TiVo so I can watch in FF tonight. The acting on this show is atrocious. When I see stuff like that, I just get more annoyed that Blind Justice was cancelled. |

I fell asleep in it... surprise... but it was pretty laughable that Nailgun Guy one week later has no residual effects -- no black eye, not even a scab or a scar!
Even Jim Dunbar had an itty bitty scar, but that was a year afterwards!
And what a stupid plot. How does this show stay on the air?

We are all, as the saying goes, on the same page.
I am following this through the board for the simple reason that I so LOATHE David Caruso I can't bring myself to watch even 30 seconds of the show, even for the dubious pleasure of seeing a nail sticking out of some poor actor's eye socket. Heh.
Your descriptions of the so-called medical treatment had me LOL. Let's face it -- only ER could pull off that sort of material believably. This reminds me of an early Chicago Hope episode in which they separated conjoined twins, and then rolled two little chubby pink babies -- attached to not so much as a monitor -- into the waiting room for Mommy to get a look. Puh-leeze.
I do not understand the success of this show. Maybe it's just another example of H. L. Mencken's famous dictum: No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

CSI: Miami just got a free ride on the coattails of the original CSI. Personally, I thought the entire episode reeked of nothing but one hour-long ad for Hummers. Then, nosey that I am, I logged on to cbs.com afterwards to see what the "Big Reveal" was in the online added scene. Surprise! Another huge ad for Hummer! Brought to you by: Hummer. Once again, closeups of "MR. Wolfe" as H kept calling him last night (almost as if he had forgotten his first name), who shows no signs of trauma from last weeks nailgun incident. Sheesh.

I think I may be on to something here (after almost laughing out loud a couple of times during last night's episode). They can't possibly intend for people to take CSI: Miami seriously, so it must be -- a parody.
