]mmm okay, so basically i was confused as to what point Grissom was trying to get across to Sara, since the camera highlighted the words "one farewell (or goodbye or something along those lines) was enough (or maybe my eyes decieve me....idk i had to rewind it a lot)" and "I'll miss you (as in I will miss you....as in is he saying "I will never see you again"????) (most likely not because he comes back in the next episdoe)"...............and i'm pretty much just refuting myself with this but someone needs to clarify this for me!! becase it's obviously a love letter but...argh. and idk someone might've already written a novel about it but i don't have time or patience to go back through all the threads and whatnot.
I was wondering the same thing.. Why did they focus in on those certain words and phrases that made the letter look like a "good-bye" letter, when we know that it's not? Some sort of crappy foreshadowing? Someone help me out here.
Ok. I didn't take one breath through Grissom's whole speech in WtG. Not ONE breath. Because it "had" to be Sara... but what if it WASN'T Sara? But it HAD to be Sara because I WANTED it to be Sara so bad. Like on my feet clutching my pillow big innocent eyed not breathing kind of WANTED it to be Sara.
That was pretty much my thought process. Honestly, until someone wrote it out on YTDAW, I couldn't tell you what he was saying in that whole scene. lol.
And then I screamed so loud I actually missed Sara's line and had to rewind it. And then I fell back into the couch and sighed the most happy happy sigh EVER.
Mine was more anti-climactic. Partly because I was sitting there, and this episode must've been long because it was like 9:57 and they had JUST finished the Brass scene and I was going, "Oh my God, they actually cut our GSR." so when it came on, I just felt like this little welling happy balloon went off, and I smiled, and flicked off the TV. lol.
Then I came online and was like "Reebs! Did you friggin' SEE THAT!!!" 'Cause we're cool and lived in the chat back then.
Oh, don't remind me of the old days! I think we all freaked out WAY more after Time of Your Death, though. That was a memorable one. lol.
As for Butterflied I voted for that because well... did anyone actually EXPECT him to start yammering on about his unrequited love for Sara while sitting IN the interrogation room? 'Cause I sure didn't.
That I can't react to. I watched it after already knowing its outcome.
Bite Me, for most debated. Because the whole scene was full of the looks you toss someone with they just got burned. Like they both knew what they were REALLY talking about... And it left me asking people for almost a solid week... "Do you suppose they really are really dating and we just don't know?"
We talked about that for WEEKS. Mostly because, I think, it all hinged so much on Gum Drops. Had it aired, there never would've been a question that that scene was shippy, but because it wasn't until, like, Time of Your Death that we got a sign that they were already together (securely), I think it throws Bite Me into a bit of limbo.
You know... it's SUCH a hard thing to picture. I mean in the context of CSI. A lot of people who aren't necessarily for or against the ship could have any kind of reaction. The GSRs will love it, the antis will hate it. It's the in-betweens that will be the deciding factor, I think. As much as I don't want to say it, something like this might cross the boundaries of what the GSR relationship has always been about. It has to be very delicately done.
I agree. I think there are some things that just shouldn't be spoiled. I agreed with Mystery and Gibby about not ever fully spoiling our final GSR scene, and typically I don't think the resolutions to cases or story arcs should ever be spoiled either. Having said that, we knew Keppy would only be in 4 episodes, and it is sweeps. Better Keppler than Sara. lol.
That's why Sara's death in the finale might not work. If they've already done CD earlier in the year, it might feel less impactful. The fact that it sounds like the second half is going to be so Sara-based is worrying, especially with regards to her past and her stability, but I don't necessarily think that CD will be the outcome.
Sara simply can't die. I mean, could you imagine what wreck of a man Grissom would be if she does? I really want the MCSK story to be related to her somehow, for example, that she is the victim, but is saved in the last moment. But please, please, please, don't kill her! If they do, I'll have nothing to watch this show for.
BTW, yesterday I was just wondering: when do you think they started going out and who was the one to make the first move? I think hat most of the shippers believe it's right after GD and it was Grissom, because, like Warrick, he realized life was too short... But maybe it was earlier that season, for example after ND... I don't know. I just wish I could imagine it better...
About the question, when do you think they started going out, that is still a sore spot with me. They really should have showed us the first kiss!!!!!!!! We watched and waited for so long. I feel ripped off of that moment.
Anyway I know it is still early, but I was watching little mermaid with my kids last night, and my suggestion for the next thread title is " Kiss the Girl" because we want to see it so BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
about the gift
if is or not a butterfly
i don't understand about chrysalids...if can or can not be...yeap a agree with some ppl when they say look like a Cocoon's moth but i don't know.
but haaaa Moth are so beutiful too ...Sure, i wait a butterfly cos this mean so much for GSR fans.
but if is a moth i will very happy too.
Well...I voted for other. Because my knee-jerk reaction when I first saw the letter writing scene was that Grissom decided right then that he was being silly addressing the letter when he could just go see Sara in person and not have to miss her anymore. Originally, he was supposed to be gone for four weeks, but he's going home one week early. I think Sara is why.
...shows Grissom telling Warrick he missed "Vegas." A. I think Vegas = Sara, and B. maybe Warrick asks him why he's back early?
My guess is that Sara will be upset because she hasn't got the letter, and that Grissom will be all excited to see her and will have to show her the letter or talk to her or *something* to fix things.
If they have time for anything this week though. All that Keppler drama may take up all the time. I do hope we get SOME GSR, though.
Thanks for those letter quotes, ilvelvegrissom. They are lovely and so true.
There's no way that the "I Missed Vegas" isn't a direct correlation to his last line in Leaving Las Vegas. Why is it that Warrick is always caught in the middle of GSR scenes? lol. I think we'll get SOME GSR - at the very least they have to show their "reunion", even if it's them in a crowded break room trying to catch or refute eye contact.
I've just been rewatching the early episodes of Season 1. Well I'm currently on Friends and Lovers. Warrick is interviewing a guy called Bobby who went to a rave with the dead guy. Warrick wants to see the stamp on the guys wrist, and when he uses a UV light on it, this appears...
a butterfly on the guys wrist..
and we all like butterflies. Looks like the symbolism has been going from day one. Friends and Lovers
Edited because I tried to put a picture in of it but I couldn't get it to work. You can find a screencap of it at
William Petersen was in our morning paper!!! here's the article, it was about the commericals during the Super Bowl
PETERSEN SCORES ONE FOR LAS VEGAS
Did the NFL drop the ball, allowing Las Vegas to score a victory of sorts in the Supwer Bowl? It happened late in the third quarter Sunday. During the CSI commercial, actor William Petersen, who has been gone for 3 week's taking a break from CSI, as the chief Gil Grissom looked into the camera and said "I miss Las Vegas"...Norm Clarke..Las Vegas Review Journal... there's more, but not revelant to this (about football} I was jazzed to see him in my morning paper
I just saw that! Beware spoiler free folks. There are some tidbits you might want to wait to see on the show.
It *is* going to hatch! And it's supposed to have something surprises. Maybe there are little hearts & I love yous on its wings. :lol: And they do say that Sara is unhappy when he gets back, in part because she was at a landfill! Poor Jorja. She already had to do that once. I hope she didn't have to go to a real one this time.
Good lord, those pics are almost enough for me to swing over to the team bearded side. HAWT.
Do my eyes decieve me or did I just read in that article that we will see them in Grissom's apartment?! HELL YES! This is also coming from CM, so its probably going to survive cuts. I just got way more excited about this upcoming episode. weeeeeeeee
Someone help me out here.
