Re: Season 8 Wishlist

-The same amount of GSR. Season 7 didn't have a lot of GSR scenes, but it was enough to satisfy both the pro and the anti GSR's.
Well, looking over this thread and seeing all the calls for an end to it, I don't think that the anti GSR fans were satisfied.
I agree with many of the wishes already posted (more team work, more variety of pairings on cases, the return of the Gris/Cath friendship, an end to GSR, etc.). I would also like to see a few more cases that aren't about murders. Stolen artwork, missing persons (oh wait - I guess that's Sara
) or freak accidents that appear to be murders but aren't - those things are nice for a change of pace. I missed a few episodes this season, but other than the guy who ate himself to death, were there any such cases?
Also, I agree, it would be nice to bring back the humor ala "Fur and Loathing..."
Finally, as yet another "anti-GSR" person, I had kind of hoped, since they went and did it anyway, that we could at least have seen reactions as the team members found out during this season. Scenes of various members discovering the secret and responding in various ways (some surprised but otherwise indifferent perhaps, some truly upset etc.) it could have been an interesting way to bring in some "drama" without distracting from the plots of the episodes. Unfortunately, of course, the relationship remained a secret for the whole season, although the writers did use the situation to bring up a few humorous moments (like Cath prattling away about Grissom and Lady Heather, much to Sara's discomfort). I was not only disappointed that when the relationship was finally revealed the reactions were so brief, but I was also disappointed that the team found out the way they did. After all, they can hardly exclaim in shock, express any negative feelings or even question it with her missing, can they? But since what's done is done, I hope we get to see some reaction next season. I guess it will all depend on what happens with Sara however.
