Flight Risk (CSIM March 9, 2009)

[mirium]

(the one with a flight attendent showing up dead in the baggage carousel)

Wow, are the writers and producers are getting revenge for uncomfortable trips they've taken? I mean, really! A pilot spends most of the flight boffing the flight attendant who showed up drunk and caught the air marshall who's pushing drugs and is in cahoots with the other flight attendant, and some of the evidence is tampered with by the thieving baggage handler? Either there's an amazingly high percentage of people behaving badly in the airline industry, or that flight had really bad karma. Although I think they just threw in the baggage handler so they could squeeze in a few more disdainful bon mots -- can't be pithy without a target.

It was nice watching Kyle find out what his dad does, though -- assuming Horatio explained further, after the scene ended. (I seem to be very cranky today, don't I? ) And Natalia's new hairdo is great, it not only looks good, it looks like how real people wear their hair.

I don't know much about airplanes, but why would the designers put in a "romper room"? They usually try to minimize weight and use every bit of space, it seems like an odd luxury. I also thought baggage sections weren't usually pressurized during flight, that's why you can't ship pets unless you make special arrangements. But I could certainly be wrong about that -- anyone here travel by air with pets?

My thoughts on the epi. Copy and paste again.

I loved when Ryan said he knew two people who'd make use of the room if they had one. And then when Natalia said "Who?" looked at her like who do you think? and her "Lalala!" Haha.

Uhm... yea I liked the episode and how it was a nice plain murder. Well sort of, I guess I mean nothing extraordinary happened in the episode.

I liked how they put Calleigh, Eric and Ryan all in one scene, actually working together. Yay for teamwork!

That's all really. Oh but what was with Eric's little fantasy there? I found it hilarious. xD

And about the romper room, I know nothing of them either but I'd guess that it was just something made up in order to make the episode better. But who knows, maybe they're real. : / Maybe they'd have them on private planes?

Sadly we forgot to tape it. Dealing with a medical issue. Sounds like the writers are finally aggregating their fecal matter, though.

Concerning the pressurized luggage compartment. I did research on that when I wrote A Big, Beautiful Murder. It depends on what kind of flight. They're not so much pressurized as they are temperature controlled. One inner compartment (anything temperature-sensitive) is kept at about 70 degrees F, while the other area of the luggage compartment is whatever the air around it is, which can get as cold as zero F.

I have a friend who is a senior FA for Delta, and he said things like what you described (a flight crew that doesn't take their responsibilities seriously) were a little more plausible before 9/11.

I liked the episode. I agree with luffy on the Eric/fantasy thing...what was that about I loved Natalia's hair too, although I think it was a little too dark for her. I have no idea about what planes have on them or in them. I've never heard of a "romping room" but my sister knows a couple flight attendants, I'll have her ask them.

I loved how the whole team got some good screen time...although, I don't recall seeing Valera at all. Did I miss something or was she just not on this episode? It's good seeing Kyle do something with his life instead of partying with his mother.

Looks like this season is turning out better than last season, so far at least.

This was a pretty good episode for me. I guess being a pilots daughter it was actually quite funny . A Federal Air Marshall is in fact responsible for the pilots and the cockpit, but he/she is also responsible for everyone on the plane. And about the romper room.. I was literaly laughing so hard I almost had tears XD. The only way there'd be enough room for one of those things, would be in a 747 cause they have the two levels. And the plane that was on there wasn't a 747. I mean I may be wrong, but I have been in a 767 which is smaller than a 747, and it's very unlikely that there would be anyone for them to go up into a secret little room.

Like I said I could be completely wrong, but after talking to my mom she said it's very unlikely. But hey it's a tv show, they can do whatever they want ;D

(Also Eric's little fantasy was hilarious)

Valera was there for five seconds, maybe. You probably glanced away from the TV screen and missed her parts.

Now Valera, she needs a new hairstyle.

[babs]

Wasn't it Nat that said she'd know who'd make use of the room?

Anyway, her hair looks great. She's one of those people who can pull off any colour and style.

Valera's hair is bipolar, on the other hand. First it was dark brown. Then she bleached it in season 5. Then it was back to sandy brown last season. At the beginning of this season it was bleach blonde again..and now back to brown? She dyes her hair more than I do, and that's saying something!

Anyway, the whole episode was kind of boring, minus the little Ryan/Natalia gossiping part..that made me laugh so hard! But yeah. Point is, I don't remember anything else that happened.

Oh. One other thing. I LOVE how Horatio always goes in after them and finds the stuff that they don't. No one ever seems to mind. However, Ryan looked OVERLY ticked off.

Poor RyRy gets his butt whooped next week =c

I don't see anything wrong with a woman who changes her hair color repeatedly -- it's not like women try to hide that they dye their hair anymore. Of course, this opinion comes from someone whose hair has been platinum blonde, golden blonde, ash blonde, strawberry blonde, light brown, light auburn, dark auburn, and various shades of brown with artistically placed stripes of royal blue/royal purple/aquamarine/sea green.

[babs]

Nice! The first time I did mine I had a tri-colour done..blonde, mahogany, and copper. After that I've been blonde(r), dark brown, dark auburn, streaked with blonde, etc. I have yet to do funny colours, though I do have blue and pink sitting around here somewhere.

I've noticed before that Horatio does that. xD But when did it happen on Monday? And Ryan looked POed? I don't even remember them together... oh well. xD

I can't wait for next week!
