Re: The Great Ship Debate
See this is where I disagree with you. If they are so intuned with one another why did Sara not notice Grissom's hearing loss in season 3. But shall I say Catherine noticed and was there to support him. She picked up on it when Sara was clueless.
i gotta agree on that,
Waiting. and i think, like most GSR shippers, that that's why they weren't ready for each other in S3. the thing is, that with Snakes came a new Sara, the one that is ready for him, and actually can finally read him. not all of him, cuz that's something even Catherine can't do, lol, but surely better than in previous seasons.
Also, in season seven when Grissom was getting burned out...again Sara didn't notice, but yet again Catherine did. Odd...see I don't agree with you on this at all. Sara seems a bit oblivious about the person she is so in love with. Also, when Grissom left to teach because he needed a break from work...she took it personally. He even send her a gift, and she couldn't get past the fact that she did not receive a note with it...yet that is so Grissom like. So no...I don't find this couple to be in tune with one another.
well, you don't know that. they behave very proffessional at work and if Sara seemed to be all "Grissom, baby, you ok?" she would be pretty obvious. especially if it was in front of Catherine.
there is of course a possibility that she didn't notice his unusual concern and tiredness. but hey, you learn every day about your b/f and it's not like Grissom is an open book. if she didn't notice, doesn't it make their relationship more interesting? cuz if they were so alike, she would know that something was bothering him, right?
there is a lot of things different about them. the primary example is Sara's attitude towards him over the years - she was wearing her heart on a sleeve, asking him for dinner, boldly telling him she moved to Vegas for him. he on the other hand could never find the right words, and was never ever straight-forward about it. Sara is emotional at some scenes, she loves animals, she is a vegetarian. Grissom can sit near a decomposing pig, drink his coffee and later go and eat his steak. so yeah, they are similar, but i don't think they are exactly the same to the point that they're boring.
it would be boring if it was simple and they were average people. instead it's very complicated, they are big, fascinating individuals, and what's more, they're having a secret office romance. that doesn't sound boring to me.
ETA: besides, Grissom is sexay. End of ETA
Well, if I'm correct...the show was working on two angles with Grissom, and not just one. Some might say that the show was leading up to a Grillows relationship for 7 years as well. Not to mention his moments with Terry or Lady Heather.
if we are comparing it to Grillows: how many hook-ups/boyfriends/ex-husbands did Cath have? like 4? and those are only the on-screen ones. but i also agree, you can find evidence for every single pairing if you look closely. you can even try to prove there is a lot of chemistry between Ecklie and Grissom too. you know, the *angst*.
lmao.
the thing with GSR is that it was the most implied possible-to-become-canon ship over the years. Cath and Gris flirted, Sara and Nick flirted, Greg and Nick flirted, Ecklie and sherriff Mobley flirted. did any one of them asked the other to dinner? or had a whole episode about their relationship? not that i can recall.
although i know that Grissom still loves Lady Heather. yes, yes. they will have a crazy-ass threesome in the upcoming ep, i know it. those three are MEANT for each other.
lol
have you heard the saying opposites attract?
you know exactly what am i going to say here right? birds of a feather flock together
Weeping Willows is a prime example of Grissom.
welllllll, you know. he said that he doesn't go out, cuz people in bars are possible suspects and it's easy to get in trouble, especially in Vegas. i don't think he meant having a partner there. but i see where it's coming from, and i understand why it can be interpreted this way.
