Re: Season 8: Returning Stars & Show
Amen to you both! I've felt that the 'relationship' aspect of GSR has been fairly calm and subtle. The most obvious scenes were when we first saw them together at the end of 'Way To Go' and the latest episode that showed them relaxing and watching a 'Godzilla' movie of all things! A plus was also seeing Billy's puppy Bruno the Boxer sitting on the end of the bed. So cute! :lol:
Again as far as GSR goes, I enjoy it from the perspective that Grissom and Sara seems to have had some type of an
on again/off again involvement since their first meeting at a seminar Grissom gave back in the day. Even now if you watch the first season, you'll see a fair amount of flirtatious behavior between the two of them and it's definitely not as cautious as their current behavior is. Plus I can 'cite my sources' and name the episodes where I'm pretty sure it was more than forensic science being examined. :devil:
As to Jorja Fox's contract, Studios, both film and TV have done this 'trash the star' routine in the tabloids for years to 'keep the help in line' making certain that the money goes straight into the pockets of the producers and network executives. Any other kind of business would be hauled into court for harassment charges trying to get away with this type of behavior towards any employee. All that is going on here is a yearly salary review like any other large company does with their employees, Ms. Fox is not being unreasonable for requesting a yearly salary raise, problem here is how she'll be perceived by her fans and others in the business by being painted as 'difficult to work with' when she's doing exactly what any other actor at contract time would do. Last point and I'm done, many people seem to think that actors in films or TV have extravagant lifestyles where money is no object and that they have no 'normal' bills to pay plus the kinds of bills most of us don't think about like, agent's fees, publicity manager’s, union dues, ect, ect. So, much of what an actor makes is often spent well before they see a check; much like many of us, they may make more money but it still gets spent on the stuff of everyday life too. Just my rant against the producer/network idiots in charge, gang. Sorry for running at the mouth.

i agree with everyone saying that the whole JF negotiating thing is just a publicity stunt by CBS to get ratings and that she already signed on to return.. hopefully! Im not really sure why everyone is saying that GSR has too much air time.. their interactions are pretty much limited to one or 2 quick scenes an episode, unlike alot of other shows that spend the whole time on romances. i think that the GSR is handled well, imo
i definitely agree with everything jmmant. I think it's a publicity stunt too. they can't get rid of sara- the ratings would drop tremendously (just look at what happened to the OC after they killed off Mischa Barton's character).
I also agree what you said about GSR. We watch the show not only to see the the cases, but to see character development as well. I think that GSR was shown a good amount of time, just enough to please those in favor, but it shouldn't have been enough to annoy those against it. (But i'm still pulling for a cath relationship, not necessarily with grissom, just with someone, maybe warrick. or even nicky!)
