I honestly think they made Ray work with Sara so that people who like her character get warmed up to him. Obviously, he is not popular at all. They also made him bond with Nick a lot and at the moment Nick and Sara seem to have the biggest fanbases (or at least the most vocal) out of all the characters left on CSI.
:lol:Alot of fans don't like Sara.. and he's extremely popular, if he weren't they would have let hm go, like they did with so many other "stars" who've been on the show. So, maybe not with you, but check out how many fan-sites he has and he's now going into his 3rd season. A bit odd, for someone who's "not popular". How does one explain that? Once again he's got the life experiences that she needs right now, for her situation when this airs. I do want to see how she handles this, maybe she won't let it get to her, and maybe she will. I do remember one episode where her "boyfriend" said back then "I haven't seen you lately" she goes "What, you see me everyday" I thought how cold and mean. Ray would never say that to her. she craves respect and needs to feel important, which happens with them.
I can agree that not every one likes Sara...but she has a way bigger fanbase than Ray. And he is not extremely popular. The only person on here that has been really tooting his horn is you. Spread across the popular csi boards, (not talking about the few that are dedicated to him) he does not come across as a character that people like. If he is so popular than why didn't CSI rating rise, or viewership increase since his arrival? As a well known actor I think that is why he is still on the show, his contract is probably different, and the TPTB are still thinking that they can milk his star power. The other actors that TPTB had kicked off because of not being well like were actors who were not well known, and their contracts could be set up differently.
So far have we seen any conversation between them that one can actually call "personal".
Your interpretation of the quote is kinda of backwards. Think about what you just said. Grissom said "I haven't seen you lately" and SARA replied "What you see me everyday". How in the hell is making a comment "I haven't seen you lately" cold or mean, her response was a little more mean if you ask me. And if you remember, at the time he was not her boyfriend.
I think that your love for a particular character is overshadowing your interpretation of other characters relationship. I do have to agree that Ray and Sara seem to have respect for eachother. But they have not bonded and shown a blosiming friendship like she had with the other characters, and I doubt that she would confide in him in the way she did with Grissom. I honestly think that she is just being nice to him, because she has sympathy because he is the newbie, and he came in at an akward stage for the team. Remember the tension that was present when she walked in on 10x01 Family Affair, and Greg wasn't pleased that Ray was being put over himself because he was a couple of levels above him, tension between nick and cath. And Ray being the newest one, had to try to find his way, Sara had been there before... when she came in Holly had just died, catherine nor wawrick liked her, nick felt threatened by her, so she could feel sympathy for the awkard situation her is in.
I think for this episode sake, it is possible that she "might" confide in him, for the main reason of him having the smallest relationship with Grissom. He'd be less judgemental because he doesn't know Grissom all that well, doesn't know that much about their relationship. Where as the rest of the team might be judgemental towards the situation because of their relationship with Grissom.
I just think that your are an undercover Ray Sara Shipper :lol:...and that is okay. I love that you have that opinion, not matter how unpopular it may be. Have you thoght of any names for them...oooh you could call is Ridle, or Say, or TSWRIBOTDOOF (The Ship Where Romance Is Base On The Death of Our Fathers...sometimes we swing with others who lost their daddies as well) :guffaw:
Just messing with you because at the momment you are out numbered, and as a short person I can't help being big and mean sometimes.
