Most improved: Greg Sanders. Greg's transformation from lab rat to CSI provided a great character arc for the season. He contaminated his first crime scene by using the bathroom at the victim's house and was scolded by Grissom and mocked by his nemesis David Hodges. He suffered through his first autopsy and was shaken when he visited one victim in the burn ward. Sofia (Louise Lombard) wisely told him: 'Rumor has it you used to be a pretty funny guy. Don't lose that.' Still a bit of a kid, he stood by Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) when she was suspended and told Grissom that he didn't like to read unless the books were about 'dismembered bodies.'
Greg was one of the great surprises of the season and seemed to have a bigger role this year than Nick (George Eds), who was perhaps being punished for those contract negotiations. Second place would definitely go to Jim Brass, who even got his very own episode this season, 'Hollywood Brass.'
