One thing that always struck me about Bite Me when I first saw it was this: how would Grissom, lifelong bachelor, single man, know what couples do when they want to have a night to themselves "away from the kids"? Which, for them, could simply mean trying to plan a date so that they don't run into anyone from the lab.
I'd post more, but I gotta go at the moment. I'll continue this thought later. lol.
ETA
So I'm back.
That's what I was thinking at first. Maybe one of them wasn't ready to have sex yet. So, yeah, it is a lot more fun to watch that scene with that in mind.
Right. I mean, Sara's tone is sort of like, "Not that sex is the only thing couples on a date have to do at home". Translation? It's Grissom. lol. If he's willing to kind of torture himself, wanting to be with her, and again, being the one to really want to put in that commitment, I think he's probably the one more nervous about "the first time". I think Sara would sort of be willing to say, "We've waited a while for this, chances are it's not going to be graceful". But I see Grissom as, um... well, a perfectionist. And that's something of a tall order after years of abstinance at 50.
I'd like to, but the thermite scene. I get what you're saying about him looking a bit hurt, but I just can't find a good reason why she would have said that at all. I dunno, maybe I'm picking it apart WAAY too much, lol.
Gibby made a good point when she was spoiling the Way to Go scene. With Grissom and Sara, all we ever see is pieces of their lives. Even they don't really fully open up to themselves.
Which is why the Way to Go scene, while surprising, didn't feel like a total cheat. It was kind of like, "Yeah, this is how they would do things".
Having said that, if they were together in the Thermite scene, keep in mind that Sara looked especially vulnerable during Bite Me. Clearly she doesn't trust that he's really suddenly just going to be "the boyfriend". And in truth, wouldn't anyone have a hard time adjusting to the idea that someone who's balked at a relationship for years is now just going to date you like everything's cool? So I think she's sensitive. He had to clarify himself with a small smile at the end of Bite Me, sort of saying, it's not about us, but she did still look somewhat concerned.
So I think we're looking at Sara getting frustrated with him. Perhaps they've gone a bit further in their relationship, but she still doesn't feel secure. And essentially Grissom is implying that thermite is like a fling, but he's being very sexual and very suggestive with it, almost directing it at Sara. He meant it to be a compliment about passion, from his expression, she seemed to take it as, "This is just a short-term thing".
So her response may have been, "If this is a fling for you, we shouldn't be together at all". Contradicting her stance on one-time dating, but again, I think that was Sara providing an out before the in even began. "If dating doesn't work, it's fine - we were just testing it out". Now that they're together, I really don't think she's willing to provide that out.
O/T This is not a spoiler. I got a good new for you, I hope Michael Austillo didn't lies about it.
Grissom (WP) Our favorite is not leaving the show 2006-2007, he will leave the show, 2007 to 2008. The show will go on to Eight season.
I don't think MA would purposefully lie, but he has admitted that he'll fake or exaggerate his sources. Last season he made a good guess about GSR, and then said, "Oh, guys - I have no idea. I made that shit up" and then when the spoiler really came out, he went, "Oops, looked like I was right". Now MAYBE what happened was that CBS said, "What the fuck? This is supposed to be a surprise - shut up!"
In which case, he IS trustworthy, but... *shrug* - WP is executive producer. I think he can get out of any contract if he wants to badly enough.
Back on topic, I want to know, who will be first one to find out about Grissom and Sara?
Catherine, Doc and Brass are the most likely choices, but the more I think about it, the more I think it would be fun if it was Archie, Hodges, Bobby or Wendy.
Speaking of which, though (and I believe this has been mentioned before, but while I'm on the topic, I thought I'd mention it again) we haven't actually heard Sara call Grissom anything name-wise this season (though she has referred to him as Grissom to other teammates, which is no surprise). And while things technically shouldn't be different this season to last if they've been together the whole time anyway (and not just recently) but it'd be good to hear a few more "Griss"s. I just can't picture her calling him Gil.
True, but it's been two episodes, and they haven't been talking to each other around other people that much, nor have they been talking about each other to others. I imagine she still calls him Griss.
I can't imagine her ever calling him Gil. I doubt she has ever called him anything other than Grissom (well, other than Gris). Of course, she would call him Dr. Grissom when he was her teacher.
And in bed. What? Oh, come on. I'm not the only one who went there.
Is that a request for one of my beautiful Superdickery icons with Superman wearing a fantastic HAT? Because if you're wanting the HAT, I will happily give you the HAT.
You're Catholic?
Yeah, I heard she sang Cabaret and babbled endlessly. Did she, by any chance, mention how it's important to overcome life's whales? Because you know how strongly Teri believes in overcoming life's whales.
There was a tragic lack of whales, dude. The interview was whale-free. Pas de whales.
ALSO? They asked her about being the number-one most downloaded picture and she DIDN'T tell the "one guy" joke.
Apocalypse? I feel thy presence.
Also noticed the tension between Sofia and Sara in "A Bullet Runs Through It" and thought Sara might be jealous. AND last night Spike re-ran "Bite Me" and "Bodies In Motion" (forgive me, but it was late and they ran back-to-back, so I can't remember which one) and one of those eppys had Gil congratulating Sofia on being transferred over and how she must not have missed the lab part of CSI and her comment was "there were some things she missed" or something to that effect and I took it to mean she missed HIM!
Yeah. At the time it was clear that TPTB wanted to continue the two women "fighting over him". However, if you really look at the ABRTI scene, knowing that they were probably together, you see a certain amount of guilt on his face when Sara first walks in, and you see Sara somewhat more territorial than she's been in the past.
In regards to the catfighting, though, both actresses told the writers to cut it out.
), but I'm not really gung ho about them. I'd rather just watch and enjoy.
