Quentin Tarantino Buries The Lead Directing C.S.I.

Quentin Tarantino directed the fifth-season finale of the CBS juggernaut. We’re talking about all the ways you can tell!

We’re wrapping up 2024’s Three Of These with the last Quentin Tarantino on TV project chronologically: CSI‘s fifth-season finale, “Grave Danger Vols. I and II,” or “the one where Nick gets buried alive.” We talked about all the signature QT elements here, from obscure pop B-sides to wish-fulfillment set pieces to those hallmark ’70s-culture conversations; we also wondered whether Sarah’s initial instinct — to submit the two-parter to the EHG Canon — was correct, and whether this marriage of middlebrow procedural and indie auteur is meant to last. Grab a cassette recorder and listen in, Panchos!
