The Most Disturbing CSI Episode Is Pure Nightmare Fuel
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

For 15 years, CSI reigned on CBS as one of the highest-rated shows after perfecting the procedural formula. Every now and then, the series broke its formula, from “Lab Rats” focusing on the side characters to “4×10” telling a series of short stories, but none shattered viewer expectations quite like Season 11’s “Sqweegel.” The night-shift team was trying to figure out the motives and identity behind the gimp-suit-clad serial killer, leading to the most unexpected ending of the entire series: They failed.
The Bad Guy Wins

Every now and then, there’s an episode of CSI where the villain’s triumphant, going back to Season 1 that occur din “Chimera,” except the doctor with twisted DNA eventually was brought to justice in a later episode. Sqweegel, named after the noise a little girl heard in a carwash, is never arrested, his identity is never uncovered, and he’s never seen again. When the episode starts, viewers know something is off about what they are about to see by the way the killer moves through a posh, upscale Las Vegas home. Slipping in through a window is one thing, but the way he walks up the stairs in a strange, herky-jerky motion that’s also inhumanly smooth and fluid is immediately unsettling.
The team, led during this era by Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) and Dr. Raymond Langston (Laurence Fishburne), starts piecing together Sqweegel’s motive when they realize each victim was a hypocrite. The first was a disability-rights advocate who killed her son, but she admitted what she did and was allowed to live. Of the rest of the victims, a firefighter who starts fires to be a hero, and a cheating wife who serves on the Family Values Committee. As far as motives go, it’s par for the course for the procedural. It’s also the only part of the episode that’s normal.
The visual of Sqweegel stalking his victims and slipping into spaces too small and tight for a normal human is somehow more disturbing than the usual dead bodies. Sqweegel’s final shot, lacing up the gimp suit and saying, “I am no one,” is more dark and more haunting than you’d expect from a network show. After the episode first aired in 2010, CBS didn’t outright ban it; instead, the network quietly pulled it from the regular rotation, but it’s available today wherever CSI is streaming.
A Killer From A Different Series

“Sqweegel” felt like an episode from another series dropped into CSI. That’s essentially what it was. Series creator Anthony E. Zuiker wrote a series of novels alongside Duane Swierczynki called Level 26, which featured Sqweegel as the villain. The episode’s release date coincided with the release of Level 26: Dark Prophecy. Disturbingly, Sqweegel in the book was even darker and more disturbing than what was shown on network television.
The character was brought to life by Daniel Browning Smith, a talented contortionist, who also co-hosted Stan Lee’s Superhumans. Smith has hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, which allows him a superhuman degree of flexibility. On the one hand, knowing that a real human was performing Sqweegel’s stunts and they weren’t special effects may make them worse, but on the other hand, Daniel Browning Smith also performs comedy and hasn’t killed anyone.
Corporate synergy is the real horror of CSI’s most disturbing episode. Because Sqweegel wasn’t created for the series, there was never going to be a resolution. Instead, he managed to kill, traumatize a child, and get away into the night, not because he was a criminal mastermind, but because of corporate licensing. Millions of fans were left wondering when he’d return, never realizing that they’d only learn his fate if they took a look, because it’s in a book.

Taylor Armstrong Apologizes for Comments About Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show
Taylor Armstrong
Sorry for Bashing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show!!!
Published
Taylor Armstrong is backpedaling hard … apologizing after saying she was embarrassed by Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
As you know, the “RHOBH” alum blasted the performance for being “totally in Spanish with a Cuban flag!!” … but in a lengthy IG post Wednesday, she clarified she simply didn’t personally connect with the show’s creative direction.
Taylor said as an American she understands Spanish is a major part of U.S. culture … and she confessed her “lack of awareness of the Latin culture” led her to mistakenly label the flag Cuban.
She says she plans to do better, learn from the moment, and insists she never meant to hurt anyone … adding America’s strength is in people of all backgrounds sharing their talents.
As we reported, Bad Bunny’s halftime show sparked debate from the jump, with critics questioning the NFL’s choice of a mostly Spanish-language headliner. Still, controversy clearly didn’t scare viewers off — a massive 128.2 million people tuned in!

Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie Kelce is mapping out her post-baby plans — revealing a boob job is on the horizon.
That’s what Kelce — wife of retired NFL star Jason Kelce — said on her Galentine’s Day episode of “Not Gonna Lie,” when she and her college besties, Amber and Gab, reacted to a clip of a woman showing her friends the finished product after going under the knife.
“Really, my plan is we’re gonna end up doing this,” Kelce said to Amber and Gab. “I already know that.”
“To be clear, there is a rough plan that eventually I will put my boobs back where they belong because — four kids. That’s all I have to say about that!”
The girls continued to discuss the future boob job reveal … with Kelce saying she’s gonna wait until her new breasts “settle” before the party.
“We’ll make a TikTok,” Kelce said.
Kylie welcomed the couple’s fourth daughter, Finnley, in March 2025 — joining her sisters Wyatt, Elliottee, and Bennett, who were born between 2019 and 2023.
Are the Kelces done having kids? Well, Jason said on “Bussin’ with the Boys” last September that they might be … but Kylie did say she wanted more.
“Kylie said she wanted five,” Jason said. “So we’re at four now, and I think we’ll see. That might be it.”
Who knows … Kylie’s planned boob job might be happening sooner rather than later.

Nancy Guthrie Investigators Ask Residents for Doorbell Camera Footage
Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping
FBI Seeking Video For 2 Specific Dates
Published
Investigators in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case are reportedly asking residents to turn over any footage they may have on their doorbell cameras from two days last month.
The FBI and Pima County sheriff’s deputies made the request Wednesday to people living near Nancy’s home in the Catalina Foothills, a suburb of Tucson, Arizona, according to TV stations KVOA and KOLD.
The authorities specifically want to view video from January 11 between 9 PM and midnight, and from January 31 between 9:30 AM and 11 AM, the stations reported. The outlets add that a suspicious vehicle was spotted around 10 AM on January 31 on Via Entrada road, which is close to Nancy’s home in the Foothills. No description of the vehicle was provided.
Meanwhile, the New York Post reported Wednesday that a black glove was discovered on the side of the road, and investigators are now testing it for DNA evidence.
It’s unclear if the glove is tied to the masked intruder who allegedly kidnapped Nancy from her house in the wee hours of February 1.
The FBI has released photos and videos showing the alleged kidnapper wearing a ski mask and apparent black gloves while lurking around the front door of Nancy’s home. The suspect, armed with a holstered gun around his waist, was captured on Nancy’s doorbell camera.
Several news outlets — including TMZ — have received alleged ransom notes demanding money for Nancy’s safe return and for the identity of the perpetrator.

20 Movies To Watch if You Love ‘Saving Private Ryan’
An epic war-scale movie about courage, bravery, and sacrifice, Saving Private Ryan is arguably one of the best epic war films around. While it has one of the most emotional opening scenes in film, the narrative is still one viewers were eager to watch, as a squadron of soldiers led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) goes behind enemy lines in World War II with orders to save Private James Ryan (Matt Damon). It is a brutal telling of one of the deadliest wars in history, taking viewers into a violent and bloody battle where no one is safe.
From the eagerness of Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer) in All Quiet on the Western Front to the last stand seen in Fury, Saving Private Ryan isn’t the only film that will have viewers on the edge of their seats. These films are fast-paced and filled with action and consequences arising from various military operations. So, for viewers who enjoy intense fight sequences, interesting characters, and powerful stories, check out these movies that are similar to the ferocity seen in Saving Private Ryan.
Stanley Kubrick‘s Full Metal Jacket is a gripping war movie set during the Vietnam War and stars Matthew Modine as Private James “Joker” Davis who, along with Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence (Vincent D’Onofrio), are sent to boot camp where they endure intense psychological and physical abuse under a brutal drill instructor, shaping them into soldiers while pushing some to the breaking point. After graduating from the Marine Corps, Davis is sent to Vietnam, where he navigates the absurdity, violence, and moral confusion of the brutal warfare.
While Saving Private Ryan focuses on the chaos and sacrifice of combat, Full Metal Jacket explores how soldiers are psychologically shaped before battle and how that conditioning affects them in war. It offers a darker, more satirical take on military life, with unforgettable characters, sharp dialogue, and a deep focus on dehumanization and moral conflict. Full Metal Jacket ultimately conveys and explores the unsettling understanding of what war does to people—both on the battlefield and inside their minds. —Andrea Ciriaco

‘The Hurt Locker’ (2008)
The Oscar-winning war movie, The Hurt Locker, is recognized as one of the best war films of the 21st century and takes place during the Iraq War. Following the death of their Staff Sergeant, a bomb squad is assigned a new leader, Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner), who has a reputation for taking risks and seems to thrive on war. While the squad tries to adapt to James’ different kind of leadership, they can’t deny that the man has an uncanny talent for defusing bombs.
The Hurt Locker delivers the same intense realism and tension as Saving Private Ryan, but in a more modern-day war setting. The Hurt Locker zooms in on the moment-to-moment psychological stress of combat, showing how war becomes addictive and isolating. Its handheld style and focus on a small unit make the danger feel immediate and personal, while exploring how soldiers struggle to function both in war and away from it. The Hurt Locker is less about missions and more about the mental cost of surviving them, which pairs naturally with what Saving Private Ryan does so powerfully. —Andrea Ciriaco

‘Platoon’ (1986)
Charlie Sheen stars in Oliver Stone‘s 1986 war drama, Platoon, as Chris Taylor, who, in 1967, abandons college and enlists to serve during the Vietnam War. When Taylor finally lands in the middle of the battleground in Vietnam, his idealism begins to fade, and the reality of combat shakes him to the core. As Taylor fights to survive, in-house fighting between his hardened superiors and sympathetic comrades pits everyone in his unit against each other as well as against enemy troops.
While Saving Private Ryan shows the chaos and heroism of battle, Platoon dives into the personal toll of war, including fear, guilt, and ethical dilemmas that many veterans struggled to cope with after the war. Its gritty realism, intense firefights, and portrayal of the bond and tension between soldiers make it emotionally powerful and a must-see for anyone who loves war films. Both films present audiences with a raw, immersive look at combat, but Platoon has a heavier psychological focus on the morality and mentality of soldiers, ultimately setting it apart from other war movies. —Andrea Ciriaco
17
‘Braveheart’ (1995)
Braveheart is an epic historical war drama directed by and starring Mel Gibson as William Wallace, a Medieval Scottsman who revolts against the English after the love of his life is brutally murdered. After Wallace recruits his own army of men, he leads them into battle and eventually sparks an all-out war that threatens England, making him a wanted man, but before he is captured and executed for his actions, Wallace becomes an immortal symbol of freedom and hope for his beloved country of Scotland.
Braveheart features a brutal depiction of battle and embodies the emotional weight of fighting for something bigger than yourself. The movie explores the personal courage, sacrifice, and leadership of one man rallying people against overwhelming odds, effectively capturing the chaos, fear, and heroism of combat. Braveheart received ten Academy Award nominations, including Best Screenplay and Best Costume Design, and went on to win five of its nominations, notably for Best Picture and Best Director. —Andrea Ciriaco

‘Flags of Our Fathers’ (2006)
Clint Eastwood‘s Flags of Our Fathers is an intimate glimpse into the lives of five Marines and a Navy corpsman who were involved in planting the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. A photo of the servicemen and their display of patriotism becomes an iconic symbol of victory for Americans, inadvertently making the men heroes, but despite the notoriety and glory, each of them still has to live with the traumatic aftermath and lasting effects of being on the battlefield.
Flags of Our Fathers explores the human stories behind the historical Battle of Iwo Jima, and examines the personal cost of heroism, the pressure of public expectation, and the emotional aftermath of war. The film is a thoughtful, realistic look at how ordinary soldiers endure extraordinary circumstances and the complex ways society honors or misunderstands those who put their lives on the line for their country. Unlike the majority of other war movies, Flags of Our Fathers tells the events of Iwo Jima through the American perspective, while its companion, Letters from Iwo Jima, provides the Japanese perspective of the battle, making Flags of Our Fathers a unique and fascinating war movie. —Andrea Ciriaco

‘Gladiator’ (2000)
Gladiator follows the story of Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe), taking viewers back to the time of Ancient Rome and gladiators fighting in an arena for the entertainment of the empire. Once an honored general for Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), Maximus soon finds himself bound in chains after the Emperor’s son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), murders his father. Jealous that his father wanted Maximus to be his successor, Commodus frames him. Maximus’ family is eventually sold to Proximo (Oliver Reed), a gladiator trainer. It isn’t long before Maximus is thrown into Rome’s Colosseum, fighting for his life and, eventually, taking on Commodus and killing him for the spectators.
While Ridley Scott’s historical epic is set in ancient times, it is still a compelling tale of strength and honor. Like Saving Private Ryan, it moves at just the right pace, so when the action sequences do happen, they are all out entertaining, if not wildly violent. Crowe’s performance as Maximus is magnificent, creating a quiet yet strong-willed person who wants revenge for the murders of his family while still wanting to fight for the freedom of himself and the other gladiators forced into slavery. Visually stunning and electric, Gladiator won five Oscars at the 73rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe.
14
‘Narvik’ (2022)
A suspenseful tale of the true events that happened during the Battles of Narvik from April 9, 1940, to June 8, 1940, Narvik brings viewers into the tiny Norwegian port town as German forces are invading the country, intent on taking over the iron ore exports the village is known for. The movie follows Ingrid Tofte (Kristine Hartgen) and Corporal Gunnar Tofte (Carl Martin Eggesbø), a married couple who want nothing more than to live a normal life and to keep their family safe, even though they are now caught up in a war.
The film brings into question what a person will do under extreme duress if they are willing to stand up and fight for what they believe in. An emotional and impactful movie, Narvik has a way of making every decision made by the characters feel as though it is life or death, a moral obligation, and less of a strategic way of taking on the encroaching German forces. It is interesting to watch, as viewers aren’t sure if the characters are going to break under the emotional turmoil or continue to fight for their town.
13
‘The Patriot’ (2000)
Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) is a widowed farmer living in Berkeley, South Carolina, and a French Indian War veteran who wants nothing more than to stay out of another war, even though the British are coming and the American Revolutionary War is on his doorstep. But when British Troops come and disrupt his life, killing one of his sons, Thomas (Gregory Smith), he joins the ranks. Getting to one of the American camps, Benjamin meets up with Colonel Harry Burwell (Chris Cooper), who, knowing Benjamin’s fighting skills, tasks him with creating a militia unit and engaging in guerrilla warfare. Benjamin fights alongside his son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), who is eventually killed, and does his best to win the war, one bloody battle after another.
The Patriot is like Saving Private Ryan as it is a war film filled with violent battles, hand-to-hand combat, and emotionally draining death scenes, just with an eccentric villain in Jason Isaacs’ Colonel William Tavington, who viewers can’t help but hate to love with his zero-remorse and guilt-free attitude. While it is not as thought-provoking as the squadron tasked with saving another soldier’s life, it is still wildly entertaining, with incredible acting and a strange juxtaposition of sentiment and brutality, a similar theme seen in Saving Private Ryan.
12
‘The Thin Red Line’ (1998)
Based on James Jones’ 1962 novel of the same name, The Thin Red Line brings viewers into the Pacific Theater of World War II and the Battle of Mount Austen, part of the Guadalcanal Campaign. The film looks into the lives of different United States soldiers from C Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, including Private Witt (Jim Caviezel), who went AWOL, and Sargeant. Welsh (Sean Penn), the commanding officer who found him and returned Witt to active duty, training for the battle to come.
From there, soldiers gear up for the Battle of Mount Austen, showcasing a violent war field full of machine guns, death, and a squadron who need to figure out their respective attitudes in life or death situations and war as a whole. The Thin Red Line is an emotional tale about a group of men who find love in unlikely places, namely in each other, as they try to overrun a Japanese bunker during the battle. It is powerful and takes viewers on a journey through an intense battle and sequences of bloodshed that are nothing short of heart-piercing moments.
11
‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ (2022)
All Quiet on the Western Front is based on the 1929 Erich Maria Remarque novel of the same name and brings viewers back to the start of World War I in 1914 Germany. It follows the story of Paul Bäumer, a young German man who, alongside his friends, enlists in the army. The film is interesting, as it shows Paul as an excited young man, ready to go to the front lines for his country and become a decorated war hero. He sensationalizes being a soldier but is quickly struck by the realities of warfare, the death and destruction it causes, and the body count growing every hour of every day. Instead of becoming the hero he dreamed of being, all Paul wants to do is survive and make it back home to his family.
The film shows the personal development of Kammerer’s character, first, as a young schoolboy who thinks it would be glorious and an honor to die for his country, and then realizes the truth, conditions, and horrific nature of where he is. It is a harrowing portrayal of soldiers and war, a grueling and emotionally taxing film that is as visually appealing as it is compelling. Like Saving Private Ryan, All Quiet on the Western Front explores the notion that war is something else altogether for those actually fighting and how the experience isn’t an adventure but something that will stay with you forever.

Jennifer Aniston’s Boyfriend Jim Curtis Packs on the PDA in Birthday Tribute
Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend Jim Curtis has shared a heartfelt tribute to the actress to celebrate her birthday.
Curtis uploaded a carousel of rare photos via Instagram to mark Aniston’s 57th birthday on Wednesday, February 11.
One photo showed the couple mid-laughter with Aniston arm softly resting on Curtis’ back. Another image featured Aniston and Curtis locking lips for a sweet smooch. “HBD MY ❤️” Curtis, 50, captioned the post.
Fans rushed to the comments section to react to the passionate images and voice their support of the relationship.
“Seriously the perfect couple😍” wrote one follower. Another added, “Complete energetic alignment ❤️ you will grow old together ❤️.”
Another follower gushed, “Oh my god, this post makes me so so happy! @jenniferaniston deserves so much this kind of love!! So happy for you both, beautiful humans! Happy Born Day Jen! 🌹❤️🔥”
In July 2025, Aniston and Curtis were first spotted together in Mallorca over the 4th of July weekend. They were photographed aboard a yacht with some of her famous friends, including Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka. In one photo, Curtis was seen rubbing Aniston’s shoulders. In another photo, she placed her hand on his thigh.
Shortly after the trip, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the actress and the hypnotist were officially dating after they were set up by mutual friends.
“They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together,” the insider said. “They are happy and really into each other.”

After Aniston and Curtis made their relationship official last fall, the actress spoke about Curtis with Elle in November 2025. She shared that they bonded over wellness interests and described him as “quite extraordinary.”
“Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does,” she said, adding that Curtis is “very special, very normal and very kind.”
In January, Curtis gave a rare insight into his romance with the Horrible Bosses star during an interview on the Today show.
“We were just introduced by friends. That’s it,” Curtis told host Craig Melvin on January 26, when asked to share the couple’s “origin story.”
Curtis continued, “We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat. And it took a long time. We chatted for a long time and we became close.” According to Curtis, the couple had been together “close to a year.”
While they have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight and steered clear of making public appearances, they have shared glimpses of their romance via social media.
To celebrate the new year, Curtis posted a slideshow of moments from 2025 that made him feel grateful. Aniston was included in the round-up.
“Some amazing things happened this year but it’s always the people who make it. Can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store… got a few surprises cooking,” he wrote in the caption.
One photo showed Curtis and Aniston smiling at each other while sitting in a car. In another image, Aniston laughed in the background as Curtis’ friends formed a human pyramid.
Prior to dating Curtis, Aniston was involved in several high-profile relationships, including being married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018.

Before ‘Squid Game’ Took Over the World, This 16-Part Sci-Fi Thriller Was Already a Phenomenon
Detective crime shows are everywhere. From True Detective to High Potential, shows about investigating a murder, or murders, always make for good TV. In each of these shows, whether it’s through the case itself, the tone of the series, or the impeccable acting, they all find their own lane, making audiences tune in even though they might’ve seen a few shows of the genre already. That’s definitely the case of the 2017 crime series Tunnel, which perfectly blended being a detective series with a sci-fi edge. The Korean series, which was released just a few years before the Squid Game phenomenon, was a hit with viewers in its own right.
What Is ‘Tunnel’ About?
Tunnel starts off with a successful homicide detective named Park Gwang-ho (Choi Jin-hyuk) in 1986. When he becomes the lead investigator in a serial killer case, one in which the killer marks its victims with dots on their ankles, tensions rise as he struggles to find clues with bodies piling up left and right. Then, one night, while chasing the supposed culprit, he passes through a tunnel and time travels more than 30 years into the future all the way to 2017.
While trying to reconcile with what happened, Park rejoins the police force and meets his new partner, Kim Seon-jae (Yoon Hyun-min). Despite some hostility at first, the detective duo soon begin to gel and continue to investigate the same serial killer, who has now continued his killing spree 31 years later. They also recruit the ice-cold criminal psychologist, Professor Shin Jae-yi (Lee Yoo-young) to help get some answers. The series also stars Kang Suk-won, Han Yeo-wool, Jo Hie-bong, Kim Min-sang, and Kang Ki-young.
‘Tunnel’ Has Become a Must-Watch Crime Drama
While Tunnel has yet to receive a score on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has been a beloved fan favorite since its release, reaching an impressive 8.2 score on IMDb. Among the highlights is how the show cleverly approaches the time travel elements, with Park figuring out how the past can affect the future and how he can use his new abilities in his favor to solve crime. By doing so, the show makes the best of its sci-fi component, adding an element, much like Korean drama Signal, that makes the investigation engaging, constantly developing and unique to other detective shows on TV.
Reviews have gone on to call Tunnel one of the best Korean dramas available, one that pushes the envelope in multiple genres while still executing it all with sharpness, intensity and ease. “Well acted, great direction, and music score — this show has everything from comedy to suspense and is definitely worth watching,” writes one review. “This show has everything,” echoed another. “Crime, drama, emotions, well-structured story, great acting… It’s a hidden gem and you won’t be disappointed.”
With that said, while detective crime shows are certainly not uncommon on TV, 2017’s Tunnel is a must-watch for true-crime and Kdrama fans alike. With a sci-fi, time-traveling element, the series sets itself apart from other crime dramas as it follows a mystery inside a mystery, and sees the main character come to terms with his new reality, all while sparing no expense in finding the decades-long killer. It’s engaging, gripping, and seen as one of the best Korean crime dramas of all time.
