blimey blimey blimey!! i officially forgive tptb for putting us through angst hell because damn, that was worth it. the ultimate gsr ending - grissom gives up everything for sara and chases her across the globe to live happily together, in daylight and tropical climates with monkeys and bugs lol
you know what i mean! i think it was perfect.
the look on her face when she registered him, wow - it's the love of her life!! and how wonderfully grissom-like of him to go all the way to costa rica and the middle of nowhere to find her, without telling her? that seemed to be the implication to me anyway.
i loved the references to Way To Go with the hat, cameras, heat and those same little smiles on their faces btw. not photographing blood and crime scenes anymore though, that's
gotta help the relationship :lol:
so, sorry i've been gone for a while. it was too difficult to be around and do the spoiler-free thing, especially with all the angst and everything. i'd almost convinced myself tptb were going to stuff us after all that, even though we know they're very good at making us think it's going left when it actually goes right (like i was completely convinced grissom was with sophia by 3/4 way through Way To Go, nasty people
).
and did you notice? they
always put jorja's name in the opening credits, for all the episodes she's been back for, and they didn't this time - very clever indeed. i nearly gave up on the episode then and there, but a little bit of hope (and the fact that grissom seemed so positive and chilled again finally - like grissom of early seasons) kept me going.
i wasn't sure any amount of gsr ending could make up for the angsty hell of late, but i take it all back - they got it just right, and it was worth it for that one last time to be so wonderfully surprised. it'll be some time before i begin to feel sad about no more gsr - and then i think i'll just watch that ending again :thumbsup:
