Faulty CSI plot?
-
After watching CSI last night, I found a scene that was a bit unrealistic. The part is where the ex-Navy Seal slips into the pool and waits for the owner of the house to jump in and take a swim. The Seal is wearing some type of white wet-suit so he becomes virtually visible in the pool. Maybe I missed something here, but the Seal enters the pool, and just sits there under water, waiting for the owner! What would have happened if the owner didn't dive in right away, or took longer than 5 minutes or so? The killer has to come up for air every few minutes, and how long would he wait there for the owner? Everytime he would take a breath, he could be seen, not just by surfacing, but by his movements causing ripples in the pool! :wtf: Usually, CSI's pretty good about this stuff... keeping things plausible and all -- demented perhaps, but plausible. If you saw the episode, did you notice this too? "If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it." -- Jeremiah 18:7-10 (God, commenting on the value of the United Nations)

Maybe the owner of the house always jumps in the pool at a certain time. Some people are very predictable in their schedules. Still, it is far-fetched. :)

I didn't watch the show, but I'm guessing if it really happened, he would have be prepared with something like a straw to breath through, especially if he had prepared enough to get some sort of underwater stealth suit. John

Yea, I had the same thought last night - but I had it nailed with the ex wife being involved, she was so not surprised it was him. I figured he dumped something into the water - one of those list of items they found in the filtered water - to make it cloudy, so it was eaiser to not be spotted... However, what's wrong with an old fashioned gun or brick to the head, and then stuff him in the pool? Much eaiser to wait in the bushes - aren't Navy Seals trailed for more than just swimming? Still not overally thrilled with the Miami spinoff tho...

Another screw up is the killer going in the water bare-foot! He's covered in white, head to toe, but he doesn't cover his feet! Duhh.... footprints anyone??!?! If I'm not mistaken, your foot/toe prints are unique similar to your finger prints...
