This is crazy...i posted this in so many places!! HAHAHAH...i hope i get it right this time around. Christmaswind - THANK YOU
Firstly i like to salute to the Head of Graveyard Shift for your compliments.
I’m a diehard fan of Grissom/William Petersen. The one thing that unites all of us is that we are great fans of CSI and that is the only thing that matters.
I agree with most of you that the crossword puzzle does not make sense. I am a crossword puzzle freak. I firmly believe that Grissom threw the puzzle away because he could not complete it correctly as he could not focus on it OR maybe he was tired of it and now wants to try something new - “fly fishing”
Grissom said to David – “there are bugs everywhere”. Even bugs do not thrill him anymore. In Season 1, practically every wall in his house had picture frames of bugs mounted on them. In Season 8, the bugs have been replaced by art pieces. In Season 7 Fallen Idol – the framed bugs seem to have found a new place – his bathroom.
In Season 7, Episode 3, Catherine was only speculating that Grissom and Lady Heather had chemistry. She said “had”. Catherine “I think they spend a night together” According to William Peterson, in a CSI magazine quote “ William Petersen claims to this day that Lady Heather and Grissom never slept together.
In the same episode she reprimanded Grissom for associating himself with Lady Heather. In Season 9 Episode 5, lady Heather herself said that Grissom is one who does not cross boundaries. In the same episode Lady Heather told Grissom that she is a therapist. To which Grissom replied rather condescendingly said “Don’t tell me, a sex therapist”
To those who said that Catherine does not approve of office romance – you are wrong. She always had a thing for Warrick. Unfortunately before it could materialise she found out he got married and she was quite pissed off.
In Burden of Prove, I firmly believe she was referring to Sara when she said to Grissom “Are you in denial?” I think Catherine has always known that Grissom and Sara had a thing for each other.
In Sounds of Silence, Warrick had commented that Sara did not like to see Grissom with another woman.
In Season 1 after Holly Gribbs death, Grissom asked Sara to come to Vegas. Besides investigating the case, i think he was contemplating a possible romance? Unfortunately, being the head of CSI he did not want to cross the line. Grissom at first thought that it was only going to be a temporary post – “We will play by ear for now” he told the CSIs.
In Let it Bleed, Catherine had noticed that Grissom looked tired and seemed not to have had any sleep. She asked “Have you heard from Sara?” I believe Catherine who is one of Grissom’s closest friend knows where is heart is.
Grissom being Grissom is unlikely for him to find a love interest outside of work. He only goes to Lady Heather, because he knows she will tell him exactly what he wants to hear.
Warrick on the other hand approves of an office romance – “I wish Tina (his wife) was somebody he worked with, at least she will understand his working hours”.
A few years ago Anthony Zuiker (creator of CSI) had said that when Grissom leaves CSI – it will be because he loses his hearing and will decide to retire.
I wish that would never happen. My wish came true. I rather see Grissom riding off into the sunset with Sara then losing his hearing!
I think in Season 7, Grissom was already losing interest in his work. Before he left for sabbatical, he told Warrick that he was a teacher with no students. In Fallen Idol, he was not happy to get out of bed on a Saturday morning to attend a case. When he arrived at the crime scene, i thought it was odd for him to ask the police officer – “What do you want me to test?” When he returned from his sabbatical, he was overjoyed to see Sara.
In the CSI season 8 dvd, in an interview with William Petersen, he had said that Grissom wants to change his life. And getting married will definitely change his life, Sara has a great influence on Grissom and he seems to value her advice and opinion.
In Season 7 episode Grissom was hard on Greg. Sara gently told Grissom that he should try to be nice to Greg who is going through a difficult time. In a latter episode, Grissom praised Greg for doing a great job. Sara who was standing by had looked pleased.
I think Grissom wanting to leave CSI is mainly goaded by his love for Sara. I firmly believe that he has mourned enough for Warrick and is beginning to accept his death.
In Butterflied, in his “little speech” it was obvious that Grissom was referring to Sara. Grissom says that he is a middle age man who for 50 years had not really lived his life. Then he was given a second chance. Someone young and beautiful offered him a life with her, someone he could care about. But he could not risk everything he had work for, for her. I believe now the time has come for Grissom “It’s about time I raise my ante”.
Non fans of Sara may not like it. Chemistry is not the sole element in a relationship. Grissom and Sara is not the typical romantic couple we see on the screen. You don’t see them expressing their love openly, jumping into bed ripping each other clothes off. They do have a deep bond, they deeply respect and understand each other. To quote Dr. House (from HOUSE) “2 should Marry 2 and 3 should marry 3”. The truth here is that Grissom had made his choice and if that makes him happy, then that makes me an overjoyed Fan!
Happy Holidays!
And that Billy and Jorja both attended each other's plays.
