gags. i'm seriously hoping anginst this. i like knowing their past lives. especially grissom which im presuming we dont now much about, and i love going into peoples personal lives. but this whole GSR crap is just that. a load of crap. im extreamly glad its not really being shoved in our faces but at this rate CSI will turn out just like every other show. near the end of its run it HAS to put someone on a "team" together. its nausiating. at least they could have had a differnt couple.
What you must be mad!!
that is real red flags to lady bulls in this forum!
I agree that CSI is popular because of its plot lines. Twisty ending and dark themes too perhaps. I am a fan of criminal minds too - but CSI LV is the orginal and is hard to beat.
I think you cannot keep an audience totally watching
case files without some feeling of empathy or involvement with the characters. It would quickly get the reputation of wooden and 2dimensional.
I have theory that one reason women in particular, read and write a lot of murder-mysteries (Agatha Christe, Dorothy L. Sayer, P D James, Naigo Marsh - well everyone nearly except Conan-Doyle) is because the plots involve discovering and unraveling the, usually hidden, secrets and passions of the victim and suspects. It all about human life and interactions.
With CSI the add the logic and puzzle solving aspect and an investigator(s) with brilliant abilities. And have an absolute dish as the lead character!
If year-in-year out there is no impact of the investigators own lives on the series it would just not be credible. And I for one just love the fact that they are:
1. Showing that the most likely people to get together in their line of work are the only people who could understand it and were drawn to the same line of work ie their co-workers. Nowadays most people met their partners through work.
2. They are for ONCE showing a mature and not a angst ridden rocky relationship
just to get more story lines out of the relationship. What they show is perfect. Little hints and glances to those who care and not enough that it intrudes on anything else. Pretty well like it would be in real life. If professional co-workers were together like them they would not be snogging in the break room or having personnel arguments in front of everyone. They are playing this well I think. WP's instinct are correct. For the opposite look at Grey's anatomy! Christ I would not want such unprofessional doctors looking after me or mine! But it makes smut tv light enough for peak viewing times, but it will never be a landmark show like CSI. You could watch it with the sound down - just look at the pretty buttocks and lovely torsos.
3. They are giving WP more scope to put his considerable acting talent to.
4. Finally, I like all the thought of Grissom being happy. He deserves it! He's The Man - we can all wish to be there for him!! :devil: :devil:
