Re: Grissom & Sara #28: To heart's and eyes' delight
sarah! i missed your essays, lol *hugs*
btw, have you already seen the finale or are you still waiting?
I'm not anti-finding out more about Sara's family, but in an episode that really is going to be jam-packed with trying to find Sara, and hopefully some gooey GSR coda scene, I can't see them also going into a huge exposition about Sara as a child or what involvement her family had in her life since then when the episode really doesn't necessarily call for it.
well, you know, there is always the
Aftermath to deal with ... the aftermath, lol.
let's assume that Sara dies. the second ep named like this would probably deal with mourning and maybe with Sara's family (including Grissom).
CSI never gave straight answers. we had Nick's parents, but we didn't deal with Nick being sexually assaulted as a kid. we had Brass with Ellie, and we had some answers but nothing is so clear either. let's remember that Ellie is not Jim's biological child (the mailman, remember?) but she doesn't know about it. so there was a lot of issues going on with the families of other CSI. we got some answers but we still have some unanswered questions. like always, on this show, when the storylines are series/season - long.
i know that those cases seem to be less traumatic (in Ellie's case) or connected to the parents (in Nick's) but i'm trying to conclude a pattern to which CSI deals with family problems in a-CSI-in-danger episodes.
furthermore, i'm not saying that i want a whole episode about Sara's family and nothing about Grissom. i had an idea though, that it would be interesting to see Sara's brother for example. he can come, tell Grissom something ambiguous during a short conversation and it doesn't have to take over the show at all. like i said, Sara's childhood is more traumatic than Nick's relations with his parents or Ellie's-gone-bad storyline. i would expect mentioning Sara's past by her brother and for example some info that he lives let's say in San Fran, but nothing that would tell us point blank what happened. besides, you don't think that much about the past if the present seems even worse.
it would be nice if for example Sara survived and the brother would recognize through Sara's behavior that she's in love with Grissom, for instance. kinda soapy for CSI, but they have more courage to touch personal subjects now, than ever before.
i'm actually pretty interested how they are going to handle the second ep. cuz CSI is not a soap and everytime there's got to be a new case (at least that's how it always was for the last 7 years).
what if Sara dies though? how are they going to go and work another scene just like that? well, they can always throw some minor tricky murder, connected to the MCSK in some way. or a totally separate one, which would be considered almost like an annoying commercial break like it was with the taxi driver case in TGTBATD. and that would be ... well annoying.
but i totally get the point if Sara's family won't be notified nor mentioned. the answer why is simple. it's just easier to say "yeah, they're dead/in jail/Sara doesn't wanna see them/the don't wanna come or not saying anything about them at all. so it really depends on many factors.
Seriously Adz, what would we do without you? You should write down your thoughts, and feed us them in little bits to help us survive the summer.
egg, my supporter! *loves you* yes, yes y'all listen to her, she knows what she's saying
Who's a whatzit? *blinks* That was the single oddist sentence I've ever read. What she wants me for? *looks at Adz - looks at Egg* Turtle's confused.
*mumbles incoherently* fanfic, fanfic, fanfic ... need you to write one about ... the family coming to Vegas and meeting Grissom ...
lol
