Line 26:
* ''[[CSI New York]]'' -- people getting gassed to death by exhaust fumes in the back of a cab. Knowing that the Nazis did something very similar before switching to Zyklon B makes it worse.
** Whoever wrote the last part of the episode where it appears that the much-loved Lindsay Monroe is about to suffer the same fate deserves public castigation.
** And so does whoever wrote the secondary plot of the episode "Heroes," wherein Det. Aiden Burn (dismissed early on season 2, after violating the chain of custody of the evidence in a serial rapist case) is brought {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Dead]] as a charred corpse, [[Punny Name|of all things]] -- killed by the same rapist she was trying to apprehend.}} The imagery alone is enough to induce more than a few nightmares.
*** Until they reconstructed her face (which is creepy enough), they were treating her exactly the same as any other body, completely unaware of who she was. Hearing them talk about her in such a clinical way just emphasises the horror when they look at the reconstruction and figure out it was her...
** That poor guy whose lower jaw (and most of the face below the eyes for that matter) was blown off by an exploding cigar.
Line 33:
* The recent episode "Deep Fried and Minty Fresh" features a guy getting killed by having his head [[Deep-Fried Whatever|dunked in a deep-fat fryer]]. Of course, the [[Necro Cam]] shows it happen about three times. One sequence details the hot grease entering his trachea, burning it up and causing him to asphyxiate.
* "Appendicitement". [[Squick|Waugh]]. Killer makes a bunch of people [[I'm a Humanitarian|humanitarians]] without their knowledge.
* One episode of ''CSI: Miami'' had a guy get knocked into a pool, the water of which was replaced some kind of horribly corrosive chemical. We're treated to pretty much a minute straight of the guy thrashing and screaming as the stuff eats away at him, and in the end he looks like one of The Skinless from ''[[Hellraiser (Film)|Hellraiser]]'' (and is still sizzling away when the team arrive).
* Episode 17 of ''[[CSI: NY]]'', season 2. It starts off with a {{spoiler|''half-eaten corpse of a woman, who is still being devoured by beetles to the point she lacks a face.''}} Oh, and we get some very [[Squick|pretty]] close ups of her, and it [[It Got Worse|gets worse.]] We're later shown a montage of her {{spoiler|''[[Body Horror|flesh being washed off]], [[Stripped to Thethe Bone|leaving nothing but a skeleton.]]''}} I think I need a hug.
** It was almost a relief to know that that's what happened to her -- because the episode was entitled "Necrophilia Americana". The title alone gives enough disturbing mental images about [[I Love the Dead|the episode's subject.]]
* In the CSI: Miami episode "Guerillas in the Mist" the bad guy of the week utilizes a powerful machine gun called that ''fucking liquifies its victims'' in ''graphic'' detail. Dear '''LORD''', that's not a mental image I wanted...
