seahawk, you just watched Grave Danger for the first time. Did you think that Sara was treating Grissom more intimately at the beginning, during the 'Trigger Scene'? Not necissarily as a lover, but as someone she had become very close to.
Yes to both. ITA with the timeline concerning getting closer emotionally, rebuilding friendship and trust (Griss getting his head out of the sand in Butterflied, starting "being there as a friend" in Bloodlines, then of course in Nesting Dolls, and the Trigger scene).
I think they both knew what was at stake, and therefore took their time to figure things out. I just can't see them talking things through, everything's back to fine, and then jumping at each other all in the same evening.
It's probably only me who thinks that if you are tentatively taking your relationship to higher levels with a person you ALREADY KNOW you are a lot more attached to than the current state of said relationship shows, you'd take the time to savor the slow progress instead of rushing things (and thereby probably scaring Grissom to death :lol
I haven't really figured out when I think the physical part of the relationship started
Not before Grave Danger, I think. And not directly after, either. Maybe during the hiatus? But probably before Bite me...Grissom's suffocation comment suggests enough intimacy to be able to suffocate (can you really suffocate from talking things through and maybe some dinner dates?)
On the English wikipedia entry to TOYD, which I haven't seen completely (only the youtube shipper bits), it says:
"It is strongly implied that the famous Grissom/Sara Romance (GSR) began following this episode. A careful observation of the camera's focus on Sara after many of Grissom's remarks, and the nature of many of Grissom's remarks, hint at the fact that while the relationship is merely platonic and professional at the beginning of the episode, it may have evolved into something more immediately following the end."
Main reason I don't agree? Timeline's off...
We get to know at the beginning of S8 that they became intimate 2 years ago, on a Sunday (still cracks me up everytime I think of Sara's dreamy voice and of Ecklie's disgusted face). 2 years back would be beginning of S6.
But the casebreaker scene just never aired (Grissom coming in for shift in an OBVIOUS good mood, with Sara being the only one not to ask him why because she knows the answer
