Welcome
VaveAma92 to our little clan!! It's a fun-loving, GSR-lovin' place!
Ok, tears in my eyes, people. Just rewatched the clip from Nesting Dolls when Sara tells Grissom about her past, and there are just tears in my eyes. I've watched this scene a thousand times, but Ms. Fox just does such a great job of effectively conveying the pain and the loss of innocence Sara felt... Gosh's it's powerful stuff. And Grissom's just sitting there, taking it all in, absorbing it... and it hits him so incredibly hard.
Think he got scared? I mean, the very next episode he asked someone else out for dinner, and though there are various interpretations of that, that should really be left for the Sofia/Gil thread, I think it's interesting, and something that could be fun to discuss. Did Grissom get frightened? Not by Sara, but by how much it mattered to him and how much it was affecting him. He stood up to Ecklie at the end without question, but with Ecklie's final remark... There was this strange look on Grissom's face, this registering of what was happening, of what was going on. It's intriguing. I mean, and it relates right into "Butterflied." Dude. I think I might be obsessed. I might have a problem.
"She's a loose cannon with a gun, and she's all yours." Don't know about "loose cannon," Ecklie, but you're right on the all-yours.
That's another thing.. Do we think Ecklie knows? I'm of the opinion that he, out of everyone, probably knows. I know that sounds bizarre, but he has really only been an observer in the GSR dynamic. The rest of the team has been there, in close contact with these two. Even Hodges has been present for two interesting revelations:
"I don't remember getting a Christmas present from Grissom."
"Hodges, don't you know grey hair can be very attractive?"
Ecklie, out of everyone, can see the most clearly, I think, because he hasn't become numb. I think everyone else is just used to there being something strange between Sara and Gris, so when it changed from a platonic weird tension to the heat of a passionate relationship, the team didn't notice. I mean, I assume the change with Gris and Sara was gradual, as they probably took it slow to begin with. Thus, the change was gradual for the team who saw them everyday...
It's kinda like... When you're a teenager you decide to get your tongue peirced without telling your dad. When you see your cousin, whom you haven't seen in a year, she immediately notices something is different, and quickly spots the tongue ring that an oblivious father has missed for an entire year because he's just used to her being weird. Yes, I am talking about an experience with one of my cousins... LOL. That's GSR. Ecklie is a cousin, while the other team members are Gil and Sara's immediate family.
Tonight, my fiance got to experience some of my crazy spoiler reactions. It was hilarious, because he just kept shaking his head, wondering why he ever asked me to watch this show.
Honestly, he enjoys the GSR, and it's the only part of the show I'm allowed to spoil for him... but I think I scare him a wee bit.
