The direction is also extremely irritating. How often have we seem the police knock on the suspect's door only to find that it’s someone else’s door they’re knocking on and it’s just a delivery man at the killer's home? Or a cheap shock moment that turns out to have only been in the killer’s imagination? It’s the clichéd handling as much as the story that really disappoints.
The episode does have its moments, Grissom’s matter-of-fact revelation to the team that he and Sara are a little more than just work colleagues first among them. But this episode just lays the groundwork, ending as it does with a cliffhanger. The real meat of the story will be in next season’s opening episode; here’s hoping it’s better than the build-up.

I think most people would disagree with you. The season finale have been very suspenseful and interesting. I found myself enjoying it much more after the second time watching it, perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to judge?
As William Petersen explained, having built up the miniature story for so long, there is no satisfying way to end it with one, or even a two part episode, therefore it much be carried on the the next. I believe they chose the best spot to reattach in the next season.
As with many, I found the identity of the miniature killer to be a very intriguing and complex character. There is yet to be explained about her and her motive. The "cheap shock moment" you were referring to is a part of explaining her character, so it does serves its purpose. Once again, don't be too quick to judge.
Personally, I found this season to be one of CSI's best seasons, if not the best.

Much as I love CSI, which is one of the best shows on the gogglebox (and far superior to its Miami and New York derivatives), seeing Grissom with Sara and not Lady Heather really stretches credence to the limits!
