Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDoes not contain the regular opening sequence, but is instead replaced with two title cards. Both cards mention it being the 200th episode. The first card is immediately at the start of the episode and is followed by the names of the regular cast. The second title card is shown a few minutes into the episode and is joined by one line of music from the regular opening theme, 'Who Are You'.
- GoofsMany of the luchadors are seen without their masks on, which is unheard of in the lucha libre culture. A luchador's mask is such an integral part of their identity, the general public often have no idea what they really look like under their mask or even what their real name is. In many instances, luchadors will not even leave their homes without donning their masks, removing it only at home, or in some cases only to sleep or shower. Some even go so far as wearing the masks for their drivers licenses and passport photos in Mexico, and in many parts of the country, they are considered such folk heroes that it is considered a grave insult to steal a luchador's mask, or attempt to remove it from their head.

Featured review
200th episode celebration? No!
For a start, the whole tone of the episode is downbeat and depressing, with Sylvia's promising career in criminalistics being wiped out from the start. Langston's flashback encouragement of her efforts only adds to the generally depressing nature of the script. But I have to say that if I had been asked to pick a theme to celebrate the 200th episode of an internationally successful series, I would not have suggested Lucha Libre! It may well be popular among a lot of people in Mexico, but the world in general has seen enough "professional wrestling" of all genres to be able to recognise It for the faked theatrical performance that it is. We have somewhat overweight men in masks and clown makeup pretending to beat seven bells out of each other... no. They may well be very athletic, and the gymnastics and the tricks with the elastic ring ropes are quite entertaining. Some people apparently enjoy it, as can be seen from the audiences still garnered by other varieties of "professional wrestling", but I would say that most of the TV-watching world has outgrown this style of entertainment (as it has bear-baiting), recognising it as a circus performance by clowns. It is not something that should be offered as a celebratory theme on an internationally distributed show like CSI.
