Re: Grissom&Sara #23 - Hot, Butt-Kicking, Chainsaw Wielding
There are two possible pronunciations:
Jool-ree
or
Jew-ull-ree.
See, I've always said it Jew-ler-ee.
Well, yeah - but part of the fun of posting about a ship is pretending like you'd have any actual say whatever in what happens next. lol. I mean, even if the kiss was "accidental" or really angst-ridden, we'd still be thrilled.
What are you talking about, 'pretending'?
You know TPTB actually stands for 'Technological Poster Tally Base'. It's software - quite a basic computer program - that CBS hooks up to the boards via the internet. What it does is basically computes all of our posts from all the threads (shipper, forensic etc. etc.) takes in all of our theories and desires, eliminates the improbable, discards the off-topic (or turns it into character banter - most prominently seen in an episode like
Rashomama) and through some technical mumbo jumbo I don't quite understand, it creates an episode by combining all those elements.
They forked out for a continuity upgrade this season, thankfully, which basically means they're able to run all their info through their archives for a final scan before producing the ep. It's a small addition, really, but it makes all the difference.
...what?
Okay, here's something - I've heard people mention that Sara seems to use a British way of talking occasionally - has anyone else noticed this? Like, not an accent, but the way she phrases her sentences.
That would be because they bought the dialogue software for the
Pilot from an American based company, but by the time the show was picked up and they went to produce
Cool Change they had sold out, so they had to buy from an offshore company in the UK. Fortunately their programmers were able to overwrite the diction file, but Sara's general sentence structure remained in UK default.
It's funny, because it also sort of shows that they clearly aren't *that* mad at each other if they're still glued to one-anothers' side in their only moment on the case.
I'm with
Adz on this one. I REALLY don't feel the pumpkin scene was negative, and there's no way I think either of them were mad at each other. Plus, even if they had been at the time? Hello, a week later. It's too minor for them to have held a grudge about it for that long. Unless you really don't think our geeks are stable in the least.
yeah, you know i wonder if some TPTB people ever read anything on this board. i mean, a fantastic thing about this is that they have a direct, instant feedback from the biggest fans. i know that the actors rarely go in here, b/c i heard them saying that if they would, they would worry too much about what people think and go crazy. i REALLY wonder if what we write in here has some influence on the real show.
See above
My theory? He followed her home, they spent some time together (yes, by that I mean sex ) and then went to sleep. Next morning, she says something like "You were in a funny mood last night. Is anything wrong?" and he fesses up, tells her about the offer from Williams, and says he doesn't know if he wants to take it or not.
She, being the wonderful supportive gf she is, basically tells him that it's his decision, she'll support him either way, and if he goes, she'll be here when he comes home
Do we know if he's told her yet? I missed the ep, but I'm not sure. I was under the impression that it still hadn't been shared yet. I don't know how much Grissom has changed on a personal level (to be certain, anyway) but maybe this is the kind of thing he would like to mull over on his own until he's absolutely certain what he wants to do, rather than prematurely bother Sara about it. I don't think he's quite reaching that burnout stage yet, so at the moment I can imagine he'd be still in two minds about whether to stay or go (even if he's
seriously considering it) - weighing up the pros and cons, good things and worries; rather than thinking "Yes, I am definitely going, how do I tell her?"
Yes, I'm a sap. But only when it comes to fiction
Real life sappiness ain't so bad
agreed. when he was quoting pumpkin, i didn't sense ANY kind of a second meaning like "leave me alone" or anything similar. he smiled adorably, and all he meant was to point out the beauty of literature. she, on the other hand, caught exactly what the quote was about, laughted at it in her head and teased him with the misanthrope. and her "i won't wait up" was just SO flirty, it's beyond me, lol.
I totally agree. I actually think it was a really cute scene (even without the fact Sara looked totally cute with her hair like that) and not angsty in the least, with the slight exception of his concerned look at the end when she left the room. I guess it's almost the flipside of 'every cloud had a silver lining', if that makes any sense? Like, the cloudy lining around, er..some silver?
Shut up
You know what I mean.
I wish I'd seen the episode yesterday, but, with there having not been much GSR, I don't really mind.
