Yes, 1CSIMfan, I read the modpost. Sorry I linked 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death', I completely forgot that it's got an 'M' rating....I've been beta-ing it, so I know there isn't any smut and hardly any bad language, so I forgot it wasn't 'Teen'. I know, lame excuse. I'll endeavor to be a better fangirl in the future.
And yes, Dessert,:thumbsup: I've been having lots of trouble getting onto the website, too. Don't feel bad, they aren't out to get just you. And probably not out to get just us GSR shipper's, even though some days it feels like it.
Piper, I love your avatar! But Billy's dirty in one of the pics. Can you please pause it on that frame so I can wash him off?:devil:
Now, on to those three very interesting GSR questions....These are only my musings, I have no inside info, just hunches.
GSR in season 9...I think TPTB will be feeling a little bit burned by the rating slide for the second half of season 8, so we'll get us some real good, subtle, GSR until Grissom is gone. They just can't afford to lose all us GSR shippers, we are legion!
WP's hiatus...Dare we hope it? A honeymoon in the Amazon? Or, maybe Grissom goes away to work on a really big FBI serial killer case involving insect activity. I've got a feeling though, that JF will pretty much only be appearing in the eps that WP is in, if so they'll have to account for Sara's absence as well as Grissom's.
How Season 9 will end...I think that they'll have to end the season with Grissom leaving. I hope like heck WP signs another year, and maybe if the ratings rebound he will. He does say he only stays for the fans. TPTB might go back to the aborted bee story arc from last season. Grissom gets all hot and bothered about saving the world by saving its bees, and goes off to work in Africa, taking his new wife(that would be Sara, for any lurkers who might be looking in) with him. He comes back to Vegas a couple of times a year to help the new supervisor(and the ratings), Catherine (or maybe Nick), hopefully bringing Sara, who's earned a masters degree in entomology, so she can assist her husband!
Okay, I think thats it for now. See ya girls later. I'm working tonight, so if you don't see me, don't worry.
Oh, and Bengali, want your pressie this weekend if it's ready? Or would you rather wait until the end of next week?
