thanks for the welcome-back's everyone
i was thinking this thread needs some more GSR talk to keep us all sane. so my question is: what would you like
exactly to happen in 8x01? fanfics aside and let's try to be extremely realistic and in-character about it and also remember there has to be a twist and turn somewhere. i'm sure y'all have some original ideas. it would be awesome if we stayed spoiler-free, but if someone has a spoilerish idea, there's nothing easier than put it into a box
so, my scenario:
1) We have a flashback through
Living Doll, so that people know what happened earlier.
The action is picked up more or less at the same time that it has been left at in LD. I doubt they would get back to Natalie's interogation unless they already filmed it last season.
2. The team is trying to track down tow truck service Natalie could've used, they also go to where they store the evidence to see how the hell did she steal the Mustang. Grissom and Catherine analyse the miniature.
3. The team circles the search radius and they send choppers on a blind search.
4. There are some rushed findings, some evidence twists that don't actually mean anything. The team is exhausted. They even talk to Natalie's father again, if he could possibly have an idea of where Sara could be.
5. After long hours with no results and dead ends Cath talks to Grissom. She regards him about his relationship with Sara, and shows him support and compassion. All in a *Catherine* way of course.
6. They go back to talking to Natalie, and she involuntarily reveals an important detail. Grissom gets enlightened and breaks the case (kind of in the way he did in
Inside The Box, when he saw Nick with the apple and immediately thought "scissors!").
7. Grissom, Catherine and Brass get to one chopper, the rest of the team to other ones. After some time they find the car and they land.
8. Sara doesn't move. Grissom keeps his cool and leads the whole operation the same way he did in the end of
Grave Danger, but is visibly more nervous.
9. They get Sara out. Grissom talks to her, pleading her to live. Paramedics are not there yet, and he checks her pulse.
10. She is still alive and breathing, but unconscious. He caresses her cheek, looks at her with fear but also lovingly and waits for an ambulance. The team is a bit dumbstruck cuz it's the first time they see Grissom being affectionate and emotional.
11. After a very short moment paramedics are at a scene and they take her. She's stabilized.
now i'm thinking should they end the episode like this, and do all the hospital scenes (if any) in the next episode or will they have time to finish it all in one ep.
basically i think, that to avoid soapishness they should make a *time jump* kind of thing they did in Grave Danger after Nick's ordeal.
12. The episode ends and the GSR theme and the cocoon are picked up in the next episode.
that is my scenario. i tried to be realistic and i didn't put a bajillion GSR scenes in there, cuz i know there won't be that much of them in one episode.
now does anybody have some other scenarios?
