Episode 219
Stalker

Thursday, 04 April 2002

Episode Synopsis
Jane Galloway lives in fear. Her doors are triple-locked. Every shade is drawn. The bathroom window is nailed shut. An alarm system is activated. But none of Jane's precautions keep a stalker from killing her. When the CSIs arrive at the scene, they discover the victim with her hair dyed and her face shoved in a toilet. The sickening image hits a nerve for Nick, but he's unsure why. And the case leaves the team with two mysteries to address: Who killed Jane, and how could the murderer have possibly entered, and left, the house?

The best episode by far. Stalker had me on the edge of my seat every minute. This brought to my attention who we let into our homes everyday.
marghelgenberger 06 March 2004  Vote: 10/10
Wow! This is is one of the most scary episodes!! I don't get scared easely, but this was really scary!!! That a person can be so sick!!! And poor Nicky! , I think Griss and Cath were a little bit to clever though...

This was the first episode I ever saw, and it got me hooked. Not to mention, that Nick's very good on the eyes.

This is one of the very few csi's that got me nervous. It was very well done.

Great eppy!! Full of suspense, poor Nicky though!! The stalker guy sure was a wacko, very creepy.

This episode almost makes me forget "The Cable Guy" (you know, the Jim Carey movie about a cable guy who stalks his customers) Definetly more entertaining than the movie.

With this episode centering around Nick I'm not surprised it's #1.It's #1 with me.

Very creepy and suspensful! I was keeping an eye on my attic entrances for days after that. Nick turned in a great performance!
Spacejammies 26 May 2004  Vote: 10/10
I seldomn give a 10 score because I don't believe in perfection, but Nick is my favorite character, and I am glad to see a storyline that revolves entirely around him. He did a great job in this one.

Loved it...so sorry for Nick though and it was nice to see how much of a close knit group they all are. E.g-Warrick blaming himself, they all comfort Nick at the end and the good humored jokes about him being in the paper!
gregsarafan 08 June 2004  Vote: 8/10
poooor nicky!!!!!!! great support from warrick and sara, though! i cant even imagine being in his situation with that psycho creep!

This episode was creepy. Good writing!
AccidentalChaos 10 July 2004  Vote: 10/10
My favorite episode so far. Downright creepy. Would love to see a followup on this villain (and a few others from the series) some time, though. Fascinating character.

i love this episode it was graet and there was plenty of nick in it just how i like it
Nick-at-Night 04 August 2004  Vote: 10/10
One of the best episodes! Season Two was my favorite season. I love how this featured alot of Nick, My #1 CSI!
wetwilly 20 June 2004  Vote: 10/10
very good i thought nick was great and it freaked my sister out so much
mirror_mirror 13 August 2004  Vote: 10/10
in my top 5 this comes first followed by Butterflied, paper or plastic, the hunger Artist, and then Table stakes.
mig29 16 August 2004  Vote: 5/10
Obviously the scariest CSI episode i've seen, so different from the others. First time also there is a clairvoyant character, ie something "out of science". A very dark and sick killer. Also a first as the killer is not seen during the 1st half of the epi

khayla 13 September 2004  Vote: 10/10
My favorite. I realize how much it would be easy to basically ... stalked me. I checked the lock twice each time I rewatched this episode.
unknowncsiaddict 04 October 2004  Vote: 10/10
The scariest CSI episode ever! It had me thanking God I didn't have an attic! Love the whole story line! It was very original. Doesn't hurt that Nick is my fave either.
ilovemycsi 09 August 2004  Vote: 10/10
This ep was CSI at its best. It was edge of your seat scary and George Eads was amazing!!
higherbeingCSIfan 26 September 2004  Vote: 10/10
Wow this episode was amazing! I didn't start watching CSI until the beginning of season 3, bascially because the channel its shown on in the UK had bad reception! But as soon as I heard about this episode I had to see it, and when i did WOW! And George Ea

A "psychic" with correct visions of the future? Give me a brake! This episode betrays the escencia of the show: the science! I love the show, but this episode is really bad.

GREAT episode, the best out of all the ones upto this. It builds on a great storyline, when Griss phoned Catherine... I thought it was the killer phoning, oops.

wha? nick got thrown out a window? geez...i knew id miss a good one. hope it comes on again soon. but anything thats centered around nick deserves at least a 5...will vote again later.
Dance2nite926 09 January 2005  Vote: 9/10
It was good!! it had lots of suspense but they shouldnt have had nick keep working on the case after he got thrown out the window.

I like Nick and all, but I didn't think this ep was all that great . . . the killer, although creepy (recognize him from X-files?), was kinda overplayed . . .

omg for me it was one of the freakiest episode i have seen... it makes me happy to feel that i don't have an attic
James Corck 28 March 2005  Vote: 6/10
Not a very nice chapter, this time flashbacks are vision that Leland orser has. And, by the way, I don't know why every mad guy is chasing Nick. Oh, the actor who plays the crazy guy that kills the girl at the beggining also appeared in Two chapter of X-F

this is definatley one of my favourite episodes. Im pretty new to watching Csi, though ive seen tooonns of eposides! its an awesome show, but george eads definatly keeps me watching! In this one esspecially when he got teary and choked up.. it was so cute
wilsonwonders 21 April 2005  Vote: 10/10
Nick is so HOT there aren't words to describe him. When the killer through him out of the window was the worst, i mean it looked as though he was dead. So glad cuteness is still around.
frappy 22 April 2005  Vote: 10/10
Excellent. Quite different from the rest. great acting from the stalker and nick. I was truly shocked at the involvement of the cast in this episode. buy csi season 2 just for this episode (and the other great ones!)

CathWillows81 07 May 2005  Vote: 7/10
Decent episode. Not one of my favorites. The idea of someone living in your attic was really scary/freaky though. But the stalker focused on Nick seemed kind of random.

seeing dead bodies is one thing, having a stalker is another. creepy...know a couple of friends of mine who has those. but the episode was ok. kept me at the edge of my seat.
CSI-Ballistics 12 May 2005  Vote: 9/10
Realy good episode, the stalker was not just creepy, he was scarry. Mainly because he didn't look threatening at all, but was a total head case. I had a problem with the psychic though, it started to look like he realy could see the future and that kinda

Awesome episode. Nick going through a window, Greg's comments in the lab. How did the cable guy get the psychic into the attic without Nick noticing? Did he have a transporter?

this episode was awesome, at first I thought Nick just liked Jane, but then i saw the pic on his comp, and I started to get scared, and I got really scared when i saw the feet coming out of the attic, then seeing Nick thrown threw the window. And when Cat
