Grissom and Sara; #35 Forever Together, Never Apart

I hope we get some GSR next season and well done for re-awakening this thread.

The finale made me so miffed, they spend all season with Langston fighting his urge to kill... whatever his name was and then they just let him do it.

A very large part of me is thinking: Grissom wouldn't do that. XD

We want Grissom!

 

Very proud of Sara in the finale.

I'm looking forward to watching T2MG again next week. Clearly a standout episode from last season, and the best one, IMO. JFO recently posted an excerpt from an interview with Matthew Jaeger, the actor who played the killer interpreter:

Truly a great episode. But something I definitely do not want to see next season (or ever again): any more of Gil's ex's, PLEASE. I think Sara has been through enough.

 

I most definitely would like to see something along that line for Sara; I'm all for equal opportunity. Some harmless flirtation would be fun; maybe with a new detective, or something. I miss those scenes between Sara and Greg; but since they have such a nice platonic relationship now, anything other than that would be out of place. However, it wouldn't hurt for the bugman to be reminded he has an awesome wife. Maybe it would keep him home in Vegas more.

 

Didn't one of the day shift guys give Sara flowers in Hitting for the Cycle? I think both Grissom and Sara are secure enough in their relationship now that previous relationships or casual flirting from others wouldn't be a problem. It's funny seeing Hodges stick his foot in his mouth about it though. :lol:

I wouldn't mind seeing more of Mrs. Grissom, if there was an opportunity to bring her back. She was starting to accept their relationship in The Two Mrs. Grissoms, so it would be nice to see that continue to develop - give Sara some 'family' outside of work, even when Grissom's out of town (of course, seeing Grissom in town would be great too ).

 

Hello, fellow GSR fans. Just thought I'd push this thread back into the land of the living by asking a question to anyone who wants to answer. Do you think Sara's acceptance of having such an unconventional marriage is a result of their individual personalities or because they've known each other for so long?

 

The way I see it, it's a bit of both. They weren't exactly young when they got together, so they've both had a lot of experience living apart/alone, even when "involved" with each other. Things like Grissom saying they'd been together for nine years (in A La Cart) probably help reassure her too. She's also had the time away where she came to terms with a lot of her past, so she doesn't need constant reassurance or validation from him anymore. It's hard to define what's "personality" and what's "history" sometimes, because every past experience helps to shape who we are now.

 

I think it's a little bit of both also. You summarized it so nicely, I don't even need to add anything. I wish CBS would make a small GSR miniseries so the fans could figure out what these gaps in GSR are all about. They could put it on YT or Twitter every other week, but I'm hoping for way too much.:lol:

By the way, love your last sentence. It's so poetic...I might write a GSR ff based off that. Thanks, Raynn, for charging my creative batteries.:hugegrin:

 

I completely agree here. They've always had their own lives separate from one another, but they are still able to have a meaningful life together; and they don't have to sacrifice their own interests to do that. I think it validates their relationship, and their love for each other, even more. It's a tricky thing in any marriage to balance one's own needs with that of your spouse's. I'd like to think that Grissom and Sara have found that balance. Although this arrangement might not be ideal, it works for them for now. And it seems there is lots of trust there now, which is really the key for maintaining a long term relationship.

To AFIS: A GSR miniseries? Now that would be awesome! :lol:

 

I agree with the posts just above me. Grissom/Sara and Danny/Lindsay (and maybe Eric/Calleigh) are the only ships I now accept on the actual shows these days. I've since come to reject any other ships other than these.

Even if Grissom isn't seen again in the near future, if at all, it's nice to know that his presence on the show hasn't been forgotten by longtime fans. That's why I still like Grissom/Sara and feel joy coming here to post once in a while.

Grissom/Sara and D/L are the only ships I now readily embrace without feeling grief. I've since rejected any further shipping on the actual TV Shows (Fanfiction is a whole other matter).

 

Let's see what we get lol

How you know you're a GSR fan

1. Half of your 30-something wallpapers in your rotater are GSR (I love that add on in Firefox)
2.GSR is your cell phone wallpaper, so they're with you wherever you go
3.You keep making your Gil and Sara figures (from the CSI game, they're all on my bookcase)make out with each other
4.Way too many songs remind you of GSR
5.I like to make jewelry in my spare time, and two of my necklaces have insect beads for GSR...One has ladybug and dragonfly beads and another is a butterfly pendant kit that I bought and expanded on.
6.It's hard not to think of GSR when someone mentions office romance

 

Here's a couple more to add to your list, MacsGirlMel:

7. When on a blind date you ask, "So...do you consider yourself a Gil Grissom or a Sara Sidle when it comes to relationships?"
8. You make fake Christmas cards for GSR every year and give them to other CSI fans as presents.
9. You study the episodes, Butterflied and One To Go, and you can recite all of the GSR lines from memory.
10. When people talk about cowboys or firefighters, you're imagining scientists with beards.
11. Any time someone says, "Do you trust me," you instantly reply with in a sexy voice, "Intimately," even though it doesn't really make sense with the conversation.

 

What was the cowboy and firefighter part from? I don't quite get it.

The cowboy one would be hard because it sends my mind to Danny/Lindsay first...especially the 'make tracks cowboy' line. But that's a different ship and I'm stopping there.

I was watching someone's fave clips on Youtube and they had the Grissom butt slap scene...I forgot the ep title, but it was the big girls convention. Big Middle maybe? I wanted Sara to be there and say the phrase from my M/S icon. "Step away from my man!" lol
