But of course! I have an deep and abiding fondness for Shakespeare's comedies. In fact, I am a big believer in happy endings. That's why I'm so very glad GSR ended the way it did! (Well, I suppose it hasn't technically ended. I mean, Grissom will likely return every now and again--and so...

It has been forever since I posted, although I have been lurking on and off for a long time. After Sara left, I felt like I didn't have much to contribute. (She was my favorite CSI character, and I was a bit gloomy after she left.) I am very glad they ended the relationship the way they did...

Unfortunately, things played out pretty much as I thought. We got Sara announcing her departure to Grissom via a letter (blech!), and the whole thing was angsty and depressing and sad. I hoped that maybe for once writers could have a character exit a show without killing her or having her...

I've been lurking out of pure depression over where this is all going. I wonder if I'll feel like there is a reason to keep posting after Thursday. *weeps*

Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan I think I just shattered all the mirrors in my house with my squeeing.

Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan Is it time to start thinking of a new thread names? All the Jorja-is-leaving talk of late has made "We're Not Ready to Say Goodbye" seem appropriate. Because we aren't! At least, I'm not. *sniffle* Anyway, I'm hoping something...

Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan So, I'm just going to table all the Jorja stuff and launch into a GSR disquisition. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale, which I have now watched top to tail twice. (Though I have watched the final part of the episode about 348 times.)...

Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan *Delurks* SockGlue, "a la carte" means "from the menu." Look! Taking French in high school, college, and grad school does have a practical use! (Of course, there should be a grave accent above the first a, but I can't manage to do...

Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan Sorry to be such a lurker of late. It's a tremendously busy time of year for young academics: I'm pushing out articles, applying for professorships and postdocs, and generally not sleeping and feeling grumpy. One of my few respites...

I just caught the rerun of "Monster in a Box," and, man, knowing what we know now, did it ever freak me out! There was quite a lot of foreshadowing of Sara's abduction in the episode--quite subtly done, of course, but ubiquitous. So, even though there are no OMGOMGOMG GSR moments in the...

I love that cartoon, choco b! I especially like how it even renders the letter stuck in the volume of Shakespeare. That's a great detail! You guys, I literally cannot wait for this season premiere. I feel like I'm climbing the walls. Mainlining fanvids helps, but it's no compensation for...

I'm so thrilled that we chose this thread title. Yay us! It brings a smile to my face every time I see it. So, now that I've seen THE promo, I'm swearing off blue boxes. I'm at the perfect level of foreknowledge: enough to pique my interest, not enough to spoil me utterly or make the...

I'm really trying to keep myself spoiler-free about the details, but I do watch the promos. Mostly because they whet my appetite, without blowing all the good stuff. So, on that note, about the current promo:

If I could have given all five votes to Pin Me Down, But Not With a Mustang, I would have. It's brilliant, it's hilarious, and it will only be relevant for this very next thread. I bet when the choices narrow, and people have to pick just one, it will have a resurgence in popularity. But...

For me, there is no contest between Grey's and CSI. CSI (and GSR) totally trumps the tedious game of musical beds that Grey's has become. When Grey's first began I liked it, but it has grown ludicrous over the past two seasons. The Grey's season finale--where they broke up Meredith and...
