Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

I thought so too, but still can't quite visualise it, maybe I got the wrong type of jelly in mind :lol:

family scenes = GC scenes, totally agree!

Mom and dad have to take charge somehow or other and they also like to create a few moments of lone time too ( strip strangler ) and that's when the GC chemistry kicks in :D
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

You, evil :lol: and me, I can't help but thinking about the famous peanut butter scene with Cath and Gil :devil:

I agree but I'm afraid than good C/G scenes (even with the whole team) be in the past, now ! BTW, I don't knom from where the "mom and dad" expression comes ?

Does that mean you never have?!! :eek: That's a sacrilege ;) Peanut butter without jelly is like... yin without yang, heart without sould, Cath without Gil, and CSI with CM.

ROFLMAO! CSI with CM, huh? :lol: But to be honest, we don't have peanut butter with jelly here, either. So I could never imagine what it is like. I do know it's popular/common in the States, though. :D

The scene that really stuck in my brain is the scene where Cath is in the lab processing the blood evidence. The over-the-shoulder camera angle just made me smile through the whole scene. It somehow struck me funny that the cameraman was more interested in the boys and not what she was actually saying. (OK, so maybe it was just what my brain was focused on the whole time - wondering why they would use that camera angle for any other purpose than in that context)

It's not just you, kay, I had the same question when I was watching that scene, too. I was like "uh, do we have to look at those photos over her shoulder? Not that I'm complaining, though" :D

I'd have to say that was probably my second-favorite scene - the "kids" eating at the picnic table.
...
I believe this is the almost-perfect scene that we've been missing since the early seasons. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been if Gil & Cath had been sitting at the table and both quietly smirking in amusement at the exchange between "the kids". That would be my version of the "perfect CSI scene" - kind of similar to the final scene in Season 1 Strip Strangler

Same here, kay. I think you made the perfect comment on this scene. It was really cute, the young CSIs having a good time eating at the table in that surrounding. The only people missing were Catherine and Gil. Oh how I miss the good ol' days. *hugs Strip Strangler*

It's also nice to see the differences in how they view things - Nick the eternal optimist. Sara the eternal pessimist.

That's one of the reasons why I think Nick and Sara fit each other although I don't think I'm a real N/S shipper. Opposites attract. That's what I think.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

Opposites attract and complement. I'm no N/S shipper either but I've enjoyed their interactions. I've also enjoyed the Sara/Warrick moments as well because there again, you have two very different characters and there is something rich and exciting about the way they play off each other.

But I'm biased of course: the best of these interactions is still GC :D Possibly because of the amount of screentime - and therefore opportunity to explore the relationship - that Gil and Catherine have had over the seasons.

Oh, and I doubt very much we'll get "Mom & Dad plus kids" moments anymore: something to do with a dark family secret called incest... And Mom being separated forcibly from Dad.:mad:

Now, to come to something OT... for rebec and bobo : the peanut butter and jelly sandwich :D

"Marg and I had never worked together and I love her. We are like the mom and dad of the whole deal." ~ William Petersen in Orange Coast April 2002 magazine.

As you can see, that was in the middle of season 2. Before the sick-headed writers came on board.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

well i think toe tags is going to look a lot like mcdreamy and mcboring with (hopefully) a good bit of preston and christina. but that's what my cbs will look like this coming year. also, i think marg would have been gearing up for her upcoming eps which will explain any absence.

now, cm and dr. do we even have to go there? what is so sad is that rambo is a good writer. i just don't see why he wants to go down the road he's going because it so doesn't work.

snuff cap...

cath: i told you no more cameras
gil: *pointing flashlight at screen* but you look so good doing that to me.
cath: *rolls eyes*

and a question...wth is he pointing a flashlight at a movie screen?


now, back to recent news articles. i think cbs has realized they lost 10% of viewers over the last year. that is a significant drop. they are scrambling to compete with ga and thinkthey found the answer but they won't look at their ratings from teh second half of s6. they are in extreme denial. cm is going to keep mh and wp apart as much as possible. she knows that even small scenes will show the absurdity of the direction she's chosen.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

^ LMAO. That isn't a flashlight. That's a projector! :lol: As always, love your caps. They are hilarious as usual. :D

And someone ordered me to post this pic here so that she could worship it in PureJoy. *eyes Angie*

Thanks to HJSnapePM over at BTA for the scan. It's a season 7 ad in Entertainment Weekly. If you want to post it anywhere else, please credit HJSnapePM. ;)

 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

*WORSHIPS*

*OBSESSES*

;)

Now that I'm done worshipping and obsessing... WHYYYY do they constantly get the ADDS right but not the SHOW!? *pulls hair*

*back to obsessing and worshipping*

That add is love, though. The large pic of them is amazing; Grissom in his typical analytical mode and Catherine with this intense look on her face as she watches him. It's perfect. *worships*
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

oh thanks Erica i agree with weepingwillows that ad is great :) Catherine looks very worried in that scene, I wonder what its about, will have to wait and see i guess.

I like the bottom pictures, because in the first one its a G/C one which means that at least for a few episodes they have some scenes togther - yeay! and the next one has them standing together showing unity -yeay! :D
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

Well, seeing as how he's gotten rid of his beard, they're all old pics, but brilliant pics nonetheless. Again, I'm just amazed that they always seem to know what SELLS the show, but they are refusing to keep bringing it to the show itself. It baffles the mind, really.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

all the pics in teh ad are from s6. and yes, they know what sells teh show. that's why we love the ads so much. just accept it as tmtp and go on complaining to everyone. *mails letters*

and yes, gil is holding a flashlight in that cap. i wasn't referring to the projector.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

i thought i recognised the second pic on the bottom but which episode is the one with Gil and Cath by the barbed wire from? :)

I have another question, not really related to Gum Drops sorry but still to G/C. As from when the team was reunited, is Cath still head of the swing shift or is she joint head of the night shift with Gil?
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

Ren thanks for the PB&J link. I demand that everyone here who hasn't tried it needs to do so! That's your project for the day! PB&J is so popular here that they even sell jars of PB&J mixed together. It doesn't really taste the same, because you can't put on more jelly or more peanut butter (depending on your taste)

Coolc in that pic, Gil is holding his glasses, not a flashlight. He's about to nibble on the ends of his glasses, which seems to be turning Cath on just as much as the porn movie. Go toward the top of this page where I have the clickable thumb of that pic and open the bigger pic. You can see it easier.

CSIAngel I don't believe that question was ever answered, but she's not involved with swingshift anymore. We do find out in Secrets & Flies that Cath has to share her office with the dayshift supervisor.
 
Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

Hum, I know those ads can help to sell the show, I know that Marg and Billy are the stars of the show but they're lying to us since S5 with them . It's like the DVD's covers ; even if the S6 cover is great, I'll don't buy it . If I wanna see great pics, I know where to find them !

@ Coolc , good one with the pic :lol:
OT:
@ Ren , thanks for the "mom and dad" stuff and thanks for the peanut butter/jelly recipe :D sounds good but did you see the calories ? :eek:
 
Re: Gil &lt;3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H

thanks kaylyne . I think that Cath is joint head with Gil cos i dont think she wouldve taken a demotion and thats why she has to share with the dayshift supervisor, i dont know maybe we'll find out in season7 :)

ok just realised the barbed wire question was answered by coolcatz in the post before mine :)

OT, i love peanut butter/jelly, i had it when i was in the US, i thought it was v strange at first but then realised what the US call jelly we call jam :)

Good writer perhaps but with a personal agenda, just like Sarah Goldfinger and Naren Shankar (another pairing). When writers come in with their own agendas, bent on making the show go their way, the integrity of the show is doomed. These are the post-S3 writers in that they joined the writing pool full-time in S4 (for Rambo, it's S5). As the early season writers fell into the minority and basically dropped off, as the original team of producers and writers moved out to head up the spinoffs, the "newbies" came into dominance and we were seeing their colours really show in S6 2nd half.

In his email, Rambo was very clear: no more GC. Period. Although he did acknowledge how well the pair came off on screen. So you see, the quality and attractiveness of the show doesn't seem to matter much anymore. It's about politics: whose camp gets ahead. :rolleyes: (And the GC camp seems unrepresented.)

Compare this with what Corey Miller, Executive Story Editor on CSI:Miami, wrote on her show's website:
"Our Executive Producer Ann Donahue never lets her guard down. Sometimes popular shows take their ratings for granted, and quality slides. But she continues to push us to make every episode worth that hour of your life."

Any wonder then that CSI:Miami has eclipsed LV since this summer?

10%? Well, things have worsened since. According to this article that Hottie brought over to BTA, the year-on-year drop in recent weeks has been nudging worryingly close to 30%!

“CSI” averaged a 2.9 in adults 18-49 last week, the week ended Aug. 13, down 29 percent from last summer’s 4.1 average, according to Nielsen numbers crunched by Horizon Media. Only once over the past five weeks has a regularly scheduled “CSI” crept above a 3.0."

People just aren't tuning in to the re-runs. If the eps were good, if the acting was enjoyable to watch (even if the storyline faltered here and there), fans would tune in. Obviously, the latter seasons of CSI don't entertain enough anymore.

Btw, the article's writer traced the fall in ratings to the middle of S6. And that's when MH and WP started not having enough screen time together to make a difference to the show. Like a S5 redux. TMTB know how poorly S5 was received. And still, after allowing some CG in the first half of S6 and the ratings went back up, they prised the two apart again. Maybe they thought the fans wouldn't notice? :mad:
