And the thread that started it all: Grissom/Catherine #0.5 (pm me if you'd like to read it.)

Wow, we've definitely come a long way, haven't we? Shall we celebrate?

 

Yay! *the useful one steps in* Congratz!!

 

*starts celebrating*

We also need brownies, Erica. And Screwdrivers And popcorn. Wow. Gil and Cath have eaten a lot of food together, haven't they?

And I must say I LOVE the new thread title!!

*blows balloons up*

 

Are we missing the "PureJoy" in our thread title? Hmmmmm!

Since I'm still in a "Gil's become an unrecognizable schmuk" mode, I don't have anything new to bring to the party, so thought I'd dig something out of the archives:
CG the one I turn to
CG fur and loathing

 

Kaylyne I love your additions. Beautiful wallpapers!

Continuing our discussion from the previous thread about Catherine knowing about Gil's hearing loss, I felt as well that the scene where the team is eating Chinese, and Catherine and Gil are sitting at opposite ends of the table and she tries to bring him into the conversation, she's almost testing him, and making sure he's okay with her: "Grissom? What do you think?"

 

She knows that something is wrong with him. They're discussing all the evidence they have, and he doesn't even seem interested. She would know this is strange because she knows he's "all about the evidence". Then his responding comment: "Yeah. None of it matters. It's one of those few cases where physical evidence isn't helping us much." Kind of shows you that he's lost when he can't rely on the evidence. Since now he can't rely on his sense of hearing, we see him letting the others take more of a prominent role in finding the answers, and letting Cath be more of the leader - which is extremely evident in One hit wonder. That's the episode where I think everything fell into place for Catherine solving the puzzle of Gil's behavior:
CATH: Aren't you coming?
GIL: You can handle it.
CATH: High profile case, technicalities ... that can't be why you do this, why you hang back and hide out.
GIL: You look better on-camera.
CATH: Right. I didn't think so.

 

Glad that I'm in time for the new thread! I love the title! *Throws confetti*

Wow, you guys notice so many subtle things that I didn't see, too bad I have to head out now, will join in the discussion when I get back. Bye! Save some hotdogs for me after the party

 

That's true Kaylyne. She was really a little bemused by that statement from him.

And I agree that she was definitely curious by the time ItB came around. Also, I think that given that she may have known what was on so early, she might have been spending a lot of ItB trying to get him to open up to her. Maybe she was hoping that instead of pushing and prodding him, he'd tell her what was going on.

Of course, since this is Grissom going on, poor Cath should have known better by now

 

Sorry I got distracted and didn't answer the question right away. LOL. The reason why PureJoy isn't in our thread title is there's a character limit to thread titles and I coldn't put PureJoy into it. :lol: Doesn't really matter that much. Everyone knows it's PureJoy any way.

Btw, does anyone recall our latest quote? Also, I think we can start making the case list coolc suggested earlier? How about we start from season one? I'll list the cases first and you guys can go ahead and talk about them.

Season 1 C/G Cases:

• 1x02 Cool Change
• 1x04 Pledging Mr. Johnson
• 1x07 Blood Drops
• 1x08 Anonymous
• 1x09 Unfriendly Skies
• 1x11 I-15 Murders
• 1x13 Boom (seperated later)
• 1x14 To Halve and to Hold
• 1x15 Table Stakes
• 1x17 Face Lift
• 1x19 Gentle, Gentle
• 1x22 Evaluation Day
• 1x23 Strip Strangler

There.

ps. Great work, kay. I love them.

 

Well, technically, the first case was the "Holly" case. So Gil didn't actually "give" it to her - she took it-, and they didn't work together, but he did come and check on her at the end outside the morgue to see if she needed his help and give her his support.

 

Bit late for the party, but yay for the new thread, and very cool title as well whoever thought of that one

 

Yay! New thread!! Congrats on number 24!

I gotta finish reading number 23. :lol:

ETA: Great title!! How so true!

-------------------

 

congrats on the new thread.

i really like their relationship dynamic on the show. their such good friends, and they work really well together, i like their scenes together, shes very supportive of him, and him of her. which is really nice.

 

Yay!
Congratulations, everybody.
May this new topic bring some new Happiness in the GC world.
And maybe some sanity to TPTB.

Kay is right...Probably the morgue scene was the first TRUE PureJoy scene...He was so kind and caring...And she looked like moved by his behaviour...
Oh, ol'times...
Hope they come back.

 

I think the last quote was:

ren got the right answer first then CSIangel so we're waiting for them to post the next quote, whichever one of them gets here first

For the Holly Gibbs case, I loved how cath took the case even though gil was against the idea. Because it was the first episode, I was impressed and amused that cath did not hesitate to get into his face like that and that he had no idea how to reject her. I realised then that their realtionship is different, they are much closer and must have shared some history. Come to think of it, I think this is the scene that officially got me hooked

The morgue scene *sigh* he's there for her and she didn't push him away, I hope they come back too Fra

This episode has alot of the old gil, he looked out for his team mates (gave warrick another chance) and he showed genuine concern, we could still see the caring gil underneath the no-nonsense demeanor
