CSI:NY 4.05: Second Life Killer Spoiler

by Jason on October 24th, 2007

TV Guide has a new article available today with more details about the upcoming plotline involving the CSI:NY team pursuing a murder from the real world into the online MMPG “Second Life” franchise.

Lab geek and Second Life devotee Adam Ross (A.J. Buckley) realizes that an oddly attired corpse is a dead ringer for a virtual character — aka an avatar — named Venus. When he discovers that despite the death of her look-alike, the avatar still exists on the site, the question becomes: Is the real-life person who’s controlling Venus online the real-life killer?

With Ross’ help, Det. Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) creates his own avatar and heads into Second Life to investigate. “I think this may be the first time a television show has interacted so specifically with the Internet,” Sinise says. “The virtual world of this episode is really fun, entertaining and cutting-edge. Anthony Zuiker always seems to have his finger on the pulse of what’s coming next.”

CSI: NY is pursuing some interesting tech related plotlines. Their recent plot with the time traveling professor and now with a virtual person crossing over and killing in the real world is pretty cool.

I’ve never played Second Life, but have heard a lot about it. My fear for starting to play is that I’m sure I’d get absorbed into it and have even less time in my “real” day.

3 opinions for CSI:NY 4.05: Second Life Killer Spoiler

    Seems kinda hinky to me…Law and Order SVU just did an episode about online rpg player kidnapping a couple weeks ago. Even down to the whole avatars in real life thing.

    I’m curious to know if the people who make CSI [all of them] ever actually think that other people can’t make the connection. I mean, mostly it’s just some inconsistencies in the story, but i mean a whole episode practically plagiarized right under NBC’s nose.

    CSI NY is better than that. E3 was the coolest ep I’ve seen from any show maybe ever!
