Desert Wind, thank you for compliment and insight. I am honored. To Speedynickgirl, I sense you have a crush on George Eads. Well, I have to admit you have great taste.
Yes I am a rabid fan of CSI! I adore Grissom. He is a rare creature on the tube. To generalize that Grissom is like all men – they will sleep with anyone – SUCH A NOTION IS VERY VERY SAD.
I am not saying that Grissom has never been out with a woman. I believe that Sara is his fist and only relationship he ever had. In Pledging Mr. Johnson, Catherine had commented that Grissom would never have the chance of a relationship. My analysis is purely based on what I see on CSI. I try to be partial. I always try to support m statements with evidence from the show. And what never lies – The Evidence!!!
“Lady Heather faces adversity and rises above it” – In Season 7 Episode 23, we learn from her ex-husband that she suddenly left him without saying anything. And he never knew he had a daughter until he was informed that she was dead.
“She faces her problems….” – In Season 6 Episode 12, she took the law into her hands. She strapped her daughter’s killer to her SUV. Dressed in black leather outfit/matching boots and a whip to torture him – It looked like a S&M scenario. According to Brass, she escapes jail term because she knew the judge who is her client.
“What Lady Heather did. …What every mother would do” – Where I come from, we don’t sleep with out daughter’s killers. We slit their throat. In Season 6 Episode 15, Catherine says, “ She won’t sleep with him – she will kill him instead. Even Wendy asked Grissom, how could Lady Heather have sex with her daughter’s killer, to which Grissom shook his head in dismay.
“She is a strong woman, when OTHERS ARE’T” – it is sad that a woman like Lady Heather is hero worshipped – I am not judging her by her profession. Sara on the other hand is being looked down. Sara came from an abusive family. She lost her father when she was only 12. Her mother is serving life imprisonment for the murder. She grew up in a foster home. She worked her way throughout Harvard. She became a CSI 3 in a short time. She was a Victim of a serial killer. She had worked on most of the gruesome murders. Processed the most putrid bodies. Thank night in the desert she proved she was a strong willed person. Warrick commented that she was a tough cookie.
Catherine is a survivor. Catherine was a stripper. She went back to school, earned her Bachelor Degree. She worked her way to CSI 3 and now she is a Supervisor.
Lady Heather on the other hand has no future in any profession except the sex industry. Lady Heather teaches men how to beat their wives into stimulation in order to dominate them. As shows in a scene from Lady Heather’s Box, quote “ You can only dominate then if you can control them”
In Season 1 Episode 5, Grissom had commented that there were only 3 things that he had real problems with
- Sexual Attacks on Children
- The scum who deals drugs to children
- GUYS WHO HIT THEIR WIVES.
Sometimes it is easier to say goodbye in a letter than personally. First of all in Season 8, Sara left not because she was having problems with Grissom. She was fighting the “demon” in her. She did not want Grissom to be there when she disintegrated. Even Grissom finds it easier to express his feeling for Sara in a Letter.
“Lady Heather will not dump her problems…. Grissom gets himself involved in it” – We first saw Lady Heather in Season 2, when one of her employees was killed. In Season 3, two of her gigolos and her client’s wife were killed. In Season 6, her daughter was murdered and in Season 7 she offered herself to be killed. Oakley was a fool – he could have picked any hooker on the street withouth paying a single cent. Grissom did not involve himself in them. As a CSI, he is thrown into it.
Heather was partly responsible for her daughter’s death. She lodge a complain about the guy who was having relationship with her daughter. He lost his job. Her daughter quite Harvard and turned against her. I have a strong feeling that her daughter was ashamed of her. And that was why she mane her father (who she have never met) to be her child’s guardian.
Grissom and Sara are well suited. They work long hours together, even after shift they are together. Sara never makes a fuss, even if Grissom cancels their date the last moment, Unlike Terri Miller in Season 2, walked out of the restaurant just because Grissom answered his cell phone.
Both don’t clamor for the Vegas lifestyle. They just enjoy being at home.
In Season 7 Episode 22, Warrick had commented to Nick that maybe he should have married a CSI – who would understand his working hours. They are not the most romantic couple on TV. We don’t see them ripping their clothes off and tumbling into bed. In her letter to Grissom, Sara said that their lives tougher, was the only home she ever had. And he was her one and only.
In Scooby Suba Do – Grissom had commented that he did know what beauty was until he met Sara. In the same episode, while they were questioning possible suspects, the woman had said she dated Tommy because he is husband material. Sara had a sad look on her face. It was obvious that she thought of Grissom likewise. In Season 8 Episode 2, Grissom fondly remembers Sara sporting a ponytail when they first met. Just like any relationship they are going through turmoil. Nobody flushed down 9 years down the drain. They will try to work it out. In this case, I strongly believe they will.
I rest my case. I now leave it to the jury. :lol:
Please keep things civil and comment on the episode or the review, but not the different shipping fandoms. Thanks.
