Re: Grissom & Sara #30: Pin Me Down...But Not With a Mustan
*Delurks*
SockGlue, "a la carte" means "from the menu." Look! Taking French in high school, college, and grad school does have a practical use! (Of course, there should be a grave accent above the first a, but I can't manage to do it on this PC. Different codes from my Mac.)
I am dying with anxiety about the premiere tonight, but am extremely happy that it is almost here! And I am still spoiler free! *preens self*
I'm feeling fairly certain that Sara will make it through alive, but I think finding her is going to be a long, agonized process. I'm also pretty certain that everything will be resolved in this episode and that Sara's fate will not still be an open question at the end of tonight's episode. (Eeeeee! I just said tonight's episode! It's really here!)
All of your posts describing how people you know misunderstand or fail to appreciate Sara really strike a chord with me. But they also reveal something about why we like Sara and why we find her relationship with Grissom so convincing. Not everyone sees Sara's value because she is so introverted and self-contained. She doesn't call attention to herself with her dress or the way she wears her hair. Yet, she is, for those who are willing to look, beautiful, intelligent, dedicated, and passionate. Grissom, who as a man of science is fond of looking and fond of discovery, has been able to see in her what perhaps some men and women, whose notions of what is attractive stop at the surface, cannot. And isn't that why so many of us identify with Sara and find Sara and Grissom's relationship captivating? Isn't it because we, too, want someone to stop and look at us, and see that, despite our inattention to clothing or our stubbornly curly or straight or otherwise unchic hair, that we are attractive and worthy to be loved?
