YEAH good point ollieuan!
And Sara/Grissom IMO don´t have as much chemistry as Sara has with Nick, Warrick or Greg.
The GSR "flirting" seems forced to me. In eps like The Hunger Artist they put all this romantic music in the Sara/Grissom scenes but there is nothing in their body-language indicating they are attracted to each other. Only a word here and there that is not matched in non-verbal communication or chemistry.
I can´t see sexual attraction bw Sara and Grissom. It looks cerebral and platonic. I also can´t imagine Grissom in a relationship with anyone. JMO.
But my main reason for not shipping GSR is Grissom´s behavior.
He´s treated Sara badly and I don´t think GSR is a good "rolemodel" (for any gender).
What does it say about Sara, and women in general, if she would still be waiting for Grissom to come around after all he´s done?
Should Grissom´s behavior be rewarded in such a way that he "gets the girl" even though he´s been an a** and never even made an effort or took a risk. Sara´s done all the work.
Should the stereotype of men as emotionally unavailable and afraid of committment- and women as emotional and more inclined to make sacrifices for love be upheld. (Not to mention the whole "older man with power/younger female in dependent position").
Is it a better moral to the story if a guy who is brave enough to express his feelings, takes risks for love and treats the woman he´s loves good DOESN´T get the girl?
No.
That´s why I like Greg for Sara.
Finally a guy who isn´t knee-deep in the macho stereotype. Same goes for Nick who is never afraid to express his feelings. And they both treat Sara with respect. And as a friend and an equal.
