I didn't see this thread, but I happened to catch the episode in its entirity last night. Pretty good, actually, and rather tragic. The story centers on hypertrichosis, the same disorder that the character in Wolf Girl / Blood Moon had. (It aired on TV as the first title, but was released on DVD by the second.)
Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...
Same hear figured it out as soon as Fig mentioned itLupin wrote:I pretty much figured it was going to be about that. CSI tends to be fairly well grounded in those aspects.Leighlia wrote:Just as I figured. A murder case involving (Spoiler, just in case someone who wanted to see it missed out....) [spoiler]hypertrichosis...excessive body hair, also known as the 'werewolf' syndrome.[/spoiler]
Overall, I was a bit disappointed in the episode. Not necessarily because I expected a true werewolf to be included in the episode, but rather it wasn't as suspenseful as many of their other episodes.

CSI tends to be pretty respectful of fringe cultures.
I try to catch anything that's going to be widely broadcast about Werewolves. There's a huge difference between fictional Werewolves and Wolf Therians but the first thing that pops into a nonTherian's mind when they hear about us is the fictional Werewolf and most of them can't seem to get past that image so Werewolf fiction is important to me. And I appreciate positive (or sympathetic) portrayals like the CSI episode.

I thought it was alright, I mean as far as CSI goes anyways 
I felt really sorry for the girl...never going out, always hiding.... I also thought it was sad that the guy's best friend shot him because he didn't want his nieces or nephews to turn out like him. a**.
