Better than usual. Ending still has me puzzled. Reminded me of the Mad Magazine ploy of folding the back page to create the hidden picture.

The BEST episode i've seen, great how they brought the story back 2 years later, i didnt really expect them to bring back that story. and it had great twists through out it. not to mention it gave me chills every once and a while...GREAT EPISODE!!

The best episode I've seen. Congrats to the writers and the actors for making that 2 year story awesome.

This was a good one right up until the end. Seems like the writers wrote themselves into a hole and didn't know how to end it. Other than that minor quibble, whoever did the artwork (especially the fold-up at the end) did a great job.

Just great! This is why it's been such a hit.

This episode was AWSOME!! I thought it was really creepy though. The really weird thing was about the wood chipper...

awesome episode! but 'stalker' was by far the best, and most suspenseful episode to date.... don't know if any new episode can top 'Stalker"'s opening scenes. later.

i loved this episode. i am a new csi fan, but thanks to reruns already saw the previous "blue paint" episode. i was almost sad that it was not dragged on further.

i really really loved this episode, my favourite out of all by far. The drawing at the end freaked me out. WAYYY too good.

Pretty good episode. So messed. The murderer was always one step ahead; taunting the whole team. Woot! I loved it!
Nigel Crane 05 November 2004  Vote: 8/10
Spoiler Warning!!!! Kind of reminded me of Seven. But had a problem with the end. It didn't seem very realistic that he would be able to put a bag over his head without brass hearing him. Also it would take a while and make quite a bit of noise kill
csi_chickadee 23 January 2005  Vote: 10/10
Great!!!!!!! i need to see the first one!!! i missed it!!!! who ever did the artwork was really good...
rantaknu 28 January 2005  Vote: 10/10
WOW! It was a great episode, one of the best I have ever seen. Maybe the Finger is number one but this was also masterpeace.
Faithon_GS 31 January 2005  Vote: 7/10
The story and the conclusion was pretty good, but not enough SARA. Seeee the team is much better together.
CSIrush 13 February 2005  Vote: 7/10
It was ok. ya right, not enough SARA. C'mon give her more screentime.

KIKI86 09 March 2005  Vote: 10/10
wow it was finally shown in england it was brilliant Spoiler warning!!!! i thought grissom in the porn shop was hillarious but i thought it was sad at the end when the stalker committed suicide because grissom really wanted to nail him for what he had do
showhat 15 March 2005  Vote: 10/10
i didn't get to see the whole thing can someone tell me if they caught the killer?
CSIMaNiAc 17 March 2005  Vote: 5/10
It was not the best epi. but it was still good just because it's CSI...the best epi. so far to me is then the killer has Grissom's fingerprints and Grissom interprets it as "I have you under my thumb"
CSInutjobs 17 March 2005  Vote: 5/10
ya not the best, but I liked that sketch...creepy. The plot was recurring one so...average episode I guess.

Well it was a very good epi but I won't go as far as saying it's the best. Just one of the best
iluvnick 03 April 2005  Vote: 10/10
Awesome episode! Nice to see they brought back such an old episode. the ending was really creepy! Whoever did the artwork is just amazing!
Forensic expert 21 April 2005  Vote: 1/10
Speechless and puzzling.The BEST OF BEST episode because of its killer which appear to be an artist of what he is doin.
CathWillows81 07 May 2005  Vote: 5/10
How did it suddenly become Grissom's obsession when it had been Catherine's case from way back? Don't care for cases (other than the Millander ones) where it's obviously Gris pitted against the perp. And the less time for Sara the better the show is! A

WilliamPetersenRulezz 05 March 2006  Vote: 7/10
Great episode! The end always gives me cold shivers, when Grissom sees the drawing, then folds it back and sees the words: 'Good Bye' Insane, but brilliant.
