Desertwind: I don't try to change the minds,the people are free to think and to say they want it. But i am always reading the strong criticisms that some people are saying about Jorja/Sara or GSR. I respet the different opinions,but to deny the obvious with strong criticims because not like a character or a story love is not respect to who if like it. There are thousand ways to make it without to use so strong criticism,i only ask a little of tact.
I don't want to get too deep into this, especially because it detracts from the discussion of other spoilers, especially as mods and admins have explicitly said they don't want it too shippy in here, which is fine with me. However, I do have some points to make.
Jorja Fox in several interviews has stated that the whole GSR storyline/ark/whatever you want to call it has become a big deal. It's very Polarizing, with just as many people who adore all the little moments such as the Veggie Burger, the little hug and guide out of the lab, the flirting, etc, think they're horrible moments, and want to spork their eyeballs out, and they feel like that aspect of the show is taking over, and it's not Grissom as his own entity anymore, or Sara as her own entity anymore, it's justs simply GSR, A force unto itself.
Some people feel like this has become the focus of the show, and that a lot of the other characters get shafted for it.
Others Like it, because in spite of all of their flaws, they do work wll together as a couple.
It doesn't appear to be much middle ground, you either love or hate GSR, You either love or hate Sara. That's the way she is. However, whatever side you're on, it's a very fierce ship that they're very loyal to.
I think that we all guard our ships jealouslyand speak up for them at every opportunity.
It's the same thing with our favorite characters. We guard them jealously, and when they have less screentime, we notice. and we tweet. Same things with characters who are OOC or do OOC things.
That's the problem, that each of the characers has a strong, large and loyal fan base.
The problem is, we're all too human. And passionate.
We come in here, and unload on a character we don't like, and when I see somebody ripping on then I usually stand up.
Now, I'm fairly neutral to GSR, simply because I do think the make a proper couple if they could open up to the emotions of it.
However, the bashing has to go. All the bashing I've seen on this board lately is just getting insand
Caterine Willows and her daughter for one. Where they're ripping her skills as a parent irks me, especially because it takes a village.
The character of Ray Langston is another one. I get what they're doing here. It's quite interesting. Just from his first few esodes with him, he's brought a presence. My only gripe is that I'd like to see him try to learn the ropes more then dive right in Mr. Insta CSI.
