Re: Dislike A Character

Okay, so everyone hates her, but nobody knows what she does or what she's doing on the show? Hm... strange.
Sophia is a CSI orginially from the Day shift team ran by Ecklie, she was also Quality control, doing internal investigations when cases come up and something goes wonky she looks into the investigator/s.
She was Assigned to Grissom when his case in court went wrong due to a print showing up long afterward, Ecklie sent Sophia to do the investigation (While he went to grissoms team to quietly get pieces of dirt against grissom).
Ecklie figured with sophia's bad report and what he found
he would have the perfect excuse to get rid of grissom, what he didn't count on is sophia not being as low as him, when she gave her report it was in favor of grissom, as she truely saw it, and knowing ecklie wouldn't like her answers (which cost her any chance at the promotion that went to catherine).
Ecklie split the team and demoted Sophia to grave yard.
As to the dinner grissom and her had been talking she was thinking about quitting because she was a supervisior that was what she was use to, also not alot of people on the team were receptive to her presences.
Grissom had time for his dinner break and figured she wanted to talk, and maybe even convince her to stay so he combined the two (hey both have to eat).
IMO only there was nothing overly romantic about it, on either persons part, by the next ep she was staying, and they seem to be just friends or respective collegues.
What might look like romance could be the fact that grissom respects Sophia for basically tanking her job to do the right thing and stand up for truth, and for sophia its the fact that grissom and his team showed her that during her investigation.

Ur right. I kind of don't like her cause I'm a GSR shipper, what can I say, I protect what I believe in. *shrug*
Protect what you believe in, thats not a crime, but there really has been no moments to show that sophia has in anyway been a threat to any ships, actually just the opposite from where i sit.
She started the turning point with grissom, getting him to talk it through the way she did, and him not knowing if it worked (that was funny), or getting him to laugh like they were long lost friends, and just being respectful.
All in all i can't see a person hating a character really to say one hates is using a strong emotion Hence why i stick with dislike, but thats me.
But when people associate the Actress and the character in the same and dislike or hate them does seem over the top.
In some respects if the characters intent at the time is to have people truely feel that emotion in reguards to them its a kudos to them.
It's assumed that Sophia will be the crimp in any ship, its assumed she would be a crimp to the team, but the thing is except for getting passed back and forth between swing shift and grave yard she stands around and offers to help while trying to get people to realize she isn't there to cause a problem, and i think thats what the wanting to quit was all about.
As to the actress herself yes Louise Lombard is Pregnante as you can well see (dressed in black against dark back grounds, bending odd angles, thick heavy coats, loose clothing, shots from the neck up or sitting down).
She is due to leave on Maternity leave in early 2005 that was what was reported, the eps are sometimes taped 1-2-sometimes 3 in advanced depending, will she return next season nothing has been said, how will she be explained again nothing has been said.
I've seen seasons 1-4 though, either through rental (S1) or through buying/receiving the DVDs.
