Last night's rerun just made me wish the next few weeks would hurry past so Griss would return...I know I'm not the only one missing him, but it's nice to know that William Petersen's performance in Dublin Carole has been well recieved...Unfortunately, personal obligations beyond my control keep me from popping in the see the show myself...Drat... :(
I notice there have been a few mentions in the media specifically about GSR...Ordinarily I'd simply figure it's innocent, but after 6 seasons, I can't help but wonder if things are ramping up a bit in the publicity department to generate interest in GSR merely to highlight a big impending plot direction...
I mean, it's not as if this story has been all over the place like the one on Gray's Anatomy...Heck, I don't even watch that show, but I have at least heard the nickname "McDreamy" and jokes about the plot...
Up until now, that hasn't been the case with CSI or "GSR"...
I'd go as far as to say that outside of the CSI fandom, casual viewers barely realize what "GSR" even means...Unless they hear it and think it's the acronym for gunshot residue...
So I have to wonder why the media is suddenly so interested...Not in CSI, but specifically in GSR...
Hmmm...
Methinks the plot is thickening...
No matter...I plan on watching until the bitter end...
Seeya next time,

Is fandom out of sync with reality?...
Yes, we all have TV shows and movies that we love and support...
But when is too much...well...TOO MUCH?...
In the current political climate, with families recovering from losing loved ones from a tragic terrorist attack (9-11) and others from a horrific tsunami and still others who lost everything to a hurricaine (Katrina) and with children going to bed hungry all over the world and HIV running rampant and war in nearly every corner of the world, is it justifiable to spend thousands of dollars to try to ensure that a fictional character remains on a TV show?...
Let me put this out there...
If you can write several letters to a TV production studio to save a fictional character, have you written the President about the handling of a war that has our troops away from thier families?...Does that injustice fill you with the same outrage?...
Have you taken a stand on the hate crimes committed every day against people of colour or people who simply want to have the option to marry the one they love regardless of gender?...
Have you sent money to fund the creation of clean water distribution systems in countries where they don't get thier water by simply turning on a faucet while watching CSI?...
Do you think for one moment that these issues are less important?...
And more importantly, which action do you think the real person behind the fictional character would find more fitting a tribute in thier honour?... And which action do you think they'd see as an unfortunately selfish waste of resources?...
You readers decide,
ABS;)

LocoClueless...
It took me a bit to recap this episode due to other distractions in my personal life, but here we go...
I liked the poor guy stuck in the cement...Poor guy...Must be awful to live in the vortex of Murphy's Law...Accidental killings aside, this guy just couldn't get an even break...
Cath had me cracking up...As sad as the whole case was, it really was funny in a "giggling at the funeral" way...
OMG...Griss smiling???...What a surprising treat...Erm...What?...No "true love" sharing the moment?...Go figure...
Doc sure has been highstrung lately...I wonder if he's the one burning out instead of Griss...
Brass in shirtsleeves...Mwrar...He could barely contain himself with Cath giggling away...
What a great job by cutie kid actress Lexi Jourden as "Suzy"...Ya knew the "Hi, Max!" was coming as soon as he saw her in the hallway, but it was still cute and well done... Loved her interraction with Warrick, too...
Warrick and Nick worked pretty well with Sofia, but I'd like to see more of Warrick's story arc...What's going on with him and Yoko...Erm, I mean Tina?...
Izzy's PSA were hilariously insincere...Ha!
I don't buy Ernie Dell as the MCSK...I think we're all thinking someone else used him to take the fall...I hope this plot line doesn't fizzle out...
OK, OK...You knew I'd eventually get to this...
Um...I've mentioned this before in a few forums, but I keep getting told that my opinion is tainted because I don't like Sara...
Is anybody else seeing Sara being written as completely clueless in regards to Griss' feelings?...
At first I saw her as insensitive, but after this episode I just think she's being written as clueless...How unrealistic is it to have a CSI who solves crimes through deductive reasoning not pick up on her "soulmate" burning out?...
That would be reasonable if they WERE'NT in a "mature adult relationship", but it's being written that they ARE...So, what's the excuse for when they see each other OUTSIDE of work?...Why isn't Sara in tune to Griss' stress at all?...And please don't hand me a rasher of crap about "Oh, she's just being subtle at work"...Presumably, they spend time together after work...No?...
Cath noticed and Sara gave a ScoobyDoo "Huh?" look that spoke volumes...She is clueless...Sad...
Well, geegollygosh, but at least it's all "canon", huh?...Yay!
The question now is, will TPTB allow it to continue or will they toss it like yesterday's trash...Hmmm...
We'll see,
ABS;)

Running the bull...Ole`...
Why is it that people think they can control anothers' behaviour?...By being vigilant, by trying to curb anothers' natural impulses?...It's all an illusion, you surely must realize that...
People you've known forever will PM others who share thier opinions right under your collective noses, using the very technology you provide for only those you think share your opinion...It happens anyway...
People will "warn" others about how "only a select few" are allowed to "voice thier thoughts" because they've paid for the technology and "everyone else is afraid of them"...
People will privately EMail and commiserate with others that you struggle to keep segregated...
And because people will always seek each other out, no matter how you try to prevent it...Your only recourse is to realize that you really cannot legislate people finding each other...and the harder you attempt to keep people apart, the harder they will try to find each other...It's human nature...
That includes trying to keep the opposition from writing to the very same people you plan to write...Your post, not mine...
As a matter of fact, it would appear counterproductive to bait someone if you'd prefer they DIDN'T write, no?...Without your suggestion, mebbe they wouldn't have been thinking of it...But now that you've tossed the idea into the ring...It just might get considered...How clever of you to be so kind as to get folks thinking in that direction, who otherwise might not have bothered...But now?...Who knows how many you've inspired?...
Being obnoxious to the very people you hope won't oppose you is like waving a red flag in front of a Brahma bull...It's stupid and it annoys the bull...
Just a thought,
ABS;)
