Re: Grissom&Sara #23 - Hot, Butt-Kicking, Chainsaw Wielding
First, offering a welcome to
TAN
But I didn't have a medicine cabinet at the old house! You must have been in the wrong place. And I couldn't get you to STOP cleaning my DVD case, damnit. heh.
You had the little curtain with all your beauty supplies.
Oh, yeah right. That sounds totally boring. When I said "under the desk" I meant something MUCH more scintillating. You know, like a foot and calf massage. Perhaps a pedicure.
Red polish? A little topcoat?
Can't you just see him at home, trying on his brand new Christmas sweater adorned with Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer (complete with light up nose and button to press for those awful nasal electronic Christmas songs) and going "I TOTALLY SHOULD WEAR THIS ON THE SHOW! Maybe Grissom's second cousin's daughter's boyfriend got it for him whilst on a factory tour of Chinese sweater-making shops, and it was shipped from his second cousin in Kentucky, along with some fresh home-made fudge! Oh, Carol will SO go for it!"
Carol would, too. Mostly because she has the same one in green.
But yeah - if Grissom ever wears a Darcy Mr. Darcy sweater, I'll kill him dead. I mean it. They'll go up to the crime scene, and there'll be Grissom, lying in a pool of his own blood, and the real horror will be that I left the sweater intact.
To match her demeanor and general life outlook?
True. I'm not going to take it back - Season 2 Sara sucked.
When I had migraines, I cried for my mommy. Every time. Right up until my most recent one, when I was about 19. I wanted to be nurtured, not left alone. Maybe Grissom's more like me and wails for his Snuggy-Bunny Sara.
Yeah - and maybe realized, while napping in Brass's office, that perhaps yelling out, "Snuggle-bunny" wasn't very likely to get him left alone from our favorite snarky detective.
Seriously, though - I love the idea that he commandiered Brass's office.
Oh, and heads up, y'all? The Desperate Housewifes game RULES. I hardcore recommend it. It's the most fun game EVER.
*Sigh* how many times have you done it with Mike?
I'd be careful about using the words 'nude' and 'Grissom' in the same sentence, though, lest you kill our dear Adzix.
lmao. You just see her head poke up from nowhere. "What? What? Is that a spoiler? DON'T SPOIL ME. NUDE? NUDE? NUDE? Dear GOD how much does it cost to fly to California?"
I don't think it would have been a case of snooping. It could have been like, she was cleaning her teeth at the end of the night and she had some broccoli stuck in her teeth so opened the cabinet to look for floss or whatever - and she coulda noticed a pill bottle then. Innocent things like that. It's not like she covertly snuck off to the bathroom with the express purpose of finding out exactly what drugs he may or may not be on.
Yeah, agreed. The fact that Grissom has an overnight bag or a drawer or whatever in which he keeps that shirt says that they pretty much co-habitate with each other. So Sara popping open the cabinet to check for floss or something isn't really snooping.
My final word on the music scene is this: she knows he has them, she didn't know he had one right then, because it was brought on by the pedophile. But we saw her giving a funny look when he was working with the gas can with Greg, and so perhaps it was equal parts, "Why is he being such a jerk?" and then "Oh."
At which point, her quieter voice and gentler tone talking about being nice to Greg could've simply been, "I know you're stressed and have a headache, but now isn't a good time to be taking it out on Greg of all people."
He woulda looked pretty odd with a baseball cap and beard, I imagine. But I could be wrong - he might've done it. I just can't really picture it.
Check Jackpot and Bodies in Motion - he had the beard/baseball cap for both.
Welcome, Tan! This is a fantastic place to be. Just beware of Sporter's evil, evil, evil avatar. It is HORRID.
TOM WILL STEAL YOUR SOUL.
*Throws Zigs and the Tom off of Colin. HE IS MINE besides, Zigs doesn't even LIKE Pride and Prejudice she prefers the stupid BRONTES*glares*
It was bookending the episode to show the seriousness of it, but no, the pedophile didn't bring on Grissom's migraine.
But he was fending it off. It didn't get into an actual migraine until the interrogation. It was just a headache, but it was clear he could feel it coming.
On somewhat of a sidenote - I found myself feeling really bad for the pedophile throughout the episode. I know that's awful, and maybe I shouldn't have felt bad for him because of what he was guilty of, but I did.
You were meant to. Because if you don't feel badly for him, you can't believe him. If YOU can't believe him, you can't ever think that there's a moment where Grissom trusts him - which you do see happening. So it's not a shocking ending if you think he's a scumbag.
I think that's often been the problem with the way they show Sara in interrogations. She doesn't leave room for trust with suspects.
Of course, Grissom does and it leads to migraines. But I mean from a TV point of view, not for someone who really does that.
Well, maybe if you weren't so...- wait, you mean Grissom and Sara? OH.
*Cries*
Back to GSR and the migraine - I don't think Sara necessarily should have known. I mean, I've never had a migraine, however - talking to Zigs, she says they sorta just develop from a normal headache. So he coulda woken with a bit of an achy head and not thought anything of it. Then only when he was at work and separated from Sara did it develop into an actual migraine.
Right - and just like with Sara and her hand in Playing With Fire, these two seem like the type that don't let anything come between them and going to work. So if he tells Sara it's just a headache, she won't worry.

ANCIENTTOMB!!!!!!!!!!
THE OLD GANG IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
We're on a mission from God.
It's another turning point of GSR, I guess, Sara could persuade "his man" like a wife, nice, there's a big different between wife and girlfriend.
Oh, completely agreed. First Grissom calls HER dear, then she pretty much dears him into being nicer to Greg. And by the end of the episode, don't we see him being nicer to him? Or am I imagining that?
In front of sara he could say too much, the music's off, done.
That's kind of interesting. One might wonder if his pained look was him wanting to tell Sara he just had a migraine, but couldn't do so in front of Greg without making it sound like he was asking for pity from his co-workers.
I'm really sorry about your experience, ancient, but I'm very glad that you have such a forgiving attitude about it. I suppose the rest of us can only ever speculate, but forgiveness should come from the victim themself - everyone else is putting their own societal ideologies on it.
I agree that Lady Heather understood his problems, but didn't know how to deal with him or WHY he did the things that he did.
Sara does. Otherwise the Snakes speech never would've happened.
And I do believe Sara would give him his space in a time like that. She very easily could've repromanded him again about the gas can in front of Greg, and didn't. She waited until she could say it as his girlfriend, not as his co-worker.
Grissom needs time and he needs space, and he always will. I think the key to it is that Sara's not only the first woman we've seen understand this, but also respect it.
