Re: Sofia Curtis
I don’t want to flame anyone’s favorite character, because I personally love Sara and hate people to put her down for no reason, but I thought I would share my reasons for not liking Sophia.
I’m all about GSR, but not mopey, jealous Sara. And as soon as I heard about a possible triangle my first thought was “Oh great here we go again”. I was kind of predestined to dislike her because they were planning on using her in this obvious way.
As for her character, I know you guy’s talk about how she is this awesome professional female, but I kind of hate how she comes off as flawless. I like my characters to have a little more soul and not be so robotic. I know this is going to sound like a strange comparison but it was like when I was younger and watching Dawsons Creek, they always made Joey out to be this saint, she could dance/sing/act/paint/pull straight A’s in every class etc. etc. It was so forced.
I feel that way about Sophia, I’m not saying that a woman can’t be hot/intelligent/moral/strong/etc. but it makes for a boring TV character. I know Sara’s not perfect, she can be depressing and a little pushy when it comes to Grissom, BUT, I can relate to her emotional flaws. To me she is the heart of the show.
And on another note I like Greg and Brass and I would really rather see our regulars fleshed out more.
But I will say that Louise Lombard is very pretty, and skinny. I don’t love her accent it can be kind of hard on the ears.
The strange thing is when she had that scene with Nick the other week, I enjoyed her more, she seemed more natural and less of a bad ass….. I think if she would have been brought in slowly instead of starting off with such a featured spot in the first episode she was in, things might have been different. I felt like she was shoved down the viewers throat and now they are trying to bring her in a little slowly. Who knows she may grow on me. I’m just going to have to give it time.

Re: Sofia Curtis
ashleyelizon don't fear, you gave a very good detailed reason for your opinion, this is great and acceptable.
You didn't jump in and say "I hate her" and then leave, which would have gone over well per the rules. We have found giving the good and the bad (with an explaination on the opinion) is something that gives food for thought.
Now this leads to discussions farther, while you have given some something to think about, you have also opened a door for discussion. Which is welcome.

Re: Sofia Curtis
I totally agree with ashleyelizon here...about how she feels about Sofia,
I think i once said that I disliked how Sofia sortof tried to break up GSR, and another reader just get really mad and yelled at me(through typing) I just wanted to know if what i did was bad, should i have written anything??

Re: Sofia Curtis
If it was in this thread, more then likely the problem wasn't what you said, but rather what you didn't say, such as more indepth as to why, giving points for discussion.
If you were yelled at you should have reported it to us TallyHo & Myself if we are the ones that yelled at you, more then likely it might have broken one of the rules, or it seemed like a bait, then an opinion open for discussion.
Thats why we urge people give a more indepth reason for the dislike, heck there has to be something good that goes with the bad, open yourselves up to think about what others have to say, be it good or bad, agree or disagree with your opinion, it might make you or them think.
No one is always going to agree, if they did it would really be boring, so by saying i don't care for this about the character, but this isnt' to bad, your are opening the bridge to view another side you might not have considered before that might or might not change your mind.
As to GSR that is mainly a "Shipper Central Forum" discussion, there are shades of gray where it is discussed here for instance your thought that Sofia would break them up, that is one thing, even a response back that others may not see it that way and why.
Alot of things are important when giving an opinion that should be considered, Who you dislike, why you dislike them, would you be open to another view point (usually your words answer that), What do you like about them (if anything), i am guess you are seeing where i am going.
People have tried to bait, some have joined to purposely do that, and if it is taken that way (ie no explaination to the opinion) then people might be offended, and while we understand why they might be, its still not right to go off on them, as they say two wrongs a right it does not make.
The great thing about opinions, its like i said food for thought, who knows there could be another side to the character only a fan can show you, and vice versa with something about the dislike that you can show them.
But what makes opinions really great is when you go indepth on why you feel that way, leaving it open for further discussion.
I hope this helps in some way.

Re: Sofia Curtis
Has anyone found promotional picture of Louise/Sofia from CSI? I'd prefer un-watermarked.

Re: Sofia Curtis
I believe they didn't do them because by the end of season 5 she was still pregnante, and alot of times, they would like the baby weight come off (which is apparently has now), but at the time of promo pics she might not have been comfy. or available.

Re: Sofia Curtis
I have to admit that in the beginning I disliked Sofia because she was so smug and overconfident and well she and Sara didn't really seem to get along. But she has grown on me. I like her now.
I think the main problem was that (in my opinion) the writers made Sofia look bad with her attitude...
And then again, most people hate everything that comes from dayshift :lol:

Re: Sofia Curtis
Hey ABC, I have 3 last year that I have enhanced and this year too at my Sofia Yahoo Group . You are most welcome to join and help spread the Sofia Lova around the internet as well as join in the discussions we have. I'd love to have you there buddy.
About ‘A Bullet’ - now how cool was it to see Brass & Sofia grabbing a hot dog at 6:30 in the morning. And their car was cool too, the new Charger, bet it has a Hemi in it. How sweet of Brass to go over to Sofia when they were waiting for their interviews, to start to reassure her about what happened by talking about his first shooting. Interesting they have Sofia reminding Jim, that they can’t talk to each other.
I think it’s a safe bet to assume this is Sofia’s first shoot-out as well as her first kill, so it was quiet moving to see her process all of this and then tell Jim, “I’m going home” like she had told Greg last year. Wonder if they will follow up on the after effects this has on her?
Thank you Danny C for NOT allowing Cath to act all cold and jealous towards Sofia. This woman against woman thing is getting too old and stereotypical on this show. Okay, I'm ready for part two!
