Argh...and a brief Anatomy lesson...

I've resisted the urge to post spoilers from 'over there" in the past...

I'm sooo tempted right now, but I'll resist...

BUT...

I must say this or I'll explode...

It's comin' ya'll...Yet another Sara!Dysfunkshunal!MyPastRaisesIt'sUglyHead episode...

It's been hinted at for years, but it looks like TPTB have finally decided to expand upon the dreaded "Past"...

yay...[insert huge dollop of sarcasm]...

TPTB, TPTB, TPTB...tsk, tsk, tsk...

Let's see...Over the years they've made Sara anti-social, judgemental, a loose cannon...

Um...Oh, yeah...And a failed drunk...[Sorry, but one DWI and cough drops do not make a believable case for her ever really having an alcohol addiction]...

The only consistant character traits for Sara have been 1) hideous hair, makeup and fashion sense, 2) her craving for Griss, and 3) her "Past"...

Well, boys and girls, seems as if TPTB are about to go where no man has gone before...[insert longsuffering sigh]...

No, not there...THERE...

If they don't chicken out and water it waaay down, which would be consistant on thier part...

All I can say is, if she wasn't abducted by aliens when she was a kid this will all be anticlimactic in the extreme...

BTW, a dear friend has been bugging me forever to watch Grey's Anatomy, but it conflicted with my schedule up until now...

I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised...

I really like this show...

I had heard folks were jumping in and out of bed, but I haven't seen that yet...

I absolutely love Bailey and George, but Izzy is my hands down favourite...She's so sweet and kind and real...Loved how she got everyone to get past her lingerie layout...[thumbs up]

Anyway, now I understand what all the fuss has been about...Glad I tuned in...

ABS;)

Red 180 Proof Rum...And a fair lady...

I dunno...I feel like I'm spinning my wheels waiting for Griss to get back from New England...

It was nice to see A Martinez again...(I've had a huge crush ever since The Cowboys...mwrar)...

Wasn't in love with the idea of Cath and Brass helping the new guy deceive the team and thought it a bit out there that it actually worked for awhile, but I did like watching them create the fake crime scene and evidence...

I like Nicky's thicker face and build...And he's very cute when pissed off...

Nice to see a bit of Warrick...I've missed his leisurely strides through the lab...

Hodges, you're a genius!...Reprint button, indeed...LOL

I doubt Griss will be amused, however...

Hmmm...The Gift...

I suppose I should comment, but really...What is there to say?...

The chrysalis was certainly quite a Grissom-like gift to send...And it's dorky sweetness wasn't lost on me one bit, but...Why do I get the feeling it was lost on Sara?...

It shouldn't come as any great surprise that Griss' romantic gestures would be as cryptic and obscure as the rest of his personality traits have proven over the years...

Somehow though, Sara seems disappointed...

I can't imagine why...

I'm suddenly reminded of My Fair Lady...

When Eliza launches into a diatribe about Henry Higgins' supposed ill treatment of her, he replies succinctly, "The question is not whether I've treated you badly but whether you've ever seen me treat anyone else better."...

And when questioned by Henry's mother, Eliza explains, "You see, Mrs. Higgins, apart from the things one can pick up, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated...I shall always be a common flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me like a common flower girl, and always will...But I know that I shall always be a lady to Colonel Pickering, because he always treats me like a lady, and always will."...

Therein, I believe, lies the rub-a-dub-dub...

Griss' Higgins-esque misanthropy will always be point-counterpoint to what Sara feels, rightly or wrongly, she is entitled to in a relationship...

Sara!...Wake up, girl!...Griss is being all he can be!...Stop acting as if you've only just noticed!!!...

And for crying out loud, Griss...Reconsider growing accustomed to her face before you find your slippers being hied at your head in a fit of rage by a most ungrateful wicked girl who makes the angels weep...

After all, even Eliza realized, "There can't be any feeling between the likes of me and the likes of you."..

Sara, have a chocolate...You might marry, you know...All men are not confirmed old bachelors like Griss...Most men are the marrying sort, poor devils...And you're not bad-looking...You're really quite a pleasure to look at sometimes...Not when you make that pussface, of course...Then you look like the very devil...But when you're all right and quite yourself, you're what one might call...attractive...

Griss, if you want some advice...You've won the bet...You have nothing further to prove...Give her seven and six to start a flower shop and have a glass of port in front of the fireplace with Brass before all hope of retaining your dignity is lost...

Ta,
ABS;)

Sweet Keppler...

I miss Griss...

I miss his quotes and lopsided smirk and the way he peers over his glasses...

I miss the sexybowleggedness silhouetted in the swirling twilight mist of a fresh crime scene...

I miss feeling safe just knowing he's somewhere in the lab, even when he's not onscreen......

I miss him appearing in a doorway without warning...

I miss him...

[Le sigh]

Enter Keppler...Liev Schrieber has always struck me as very creepy...In a similar way to Gary Sinise or Donald Sutherland...

There are certain actors who, even when they're smiling and playing a supposed "good guy", my antenae are always twitching for signs of mischief in the air...I'm not so easily lulled into believing they aren't up to something dastardly...

Liev Scrieber is that sort of actor...I always suspect him, even when he's innocent...

I enjoyed watching him in his first appearance out of the dark, ambling towards Catherine at the first crime scene...Truth be told, a chill ran up my spine and I was worried for her safety although there were plenty of cops around, including Brass...

Seems the two Jersey boys are gonna bond...Ew...I wanted to shake Jim...(Amoung other things...Is it just me or does Jim strike you as the kinda guy who wears yummy aftershave?...mwrar...But I digress...Ahem...)

I think even Cath senses that Keppler's got a whole lot more going on behind that shy grin than meets the eye.. (WTF is Frank and why does he keep leaving messages???...)

Ned Beaty, on the other hand, is a sweet rolypoly type who I always feel comfortable is the good guy...I mean, after Deliverance how could I ever suspect him of anything sinister?...

It is this exact uneasiness that reeled me in from start to finish...

The creepy "La La" song added substantially to the hairs raised along my neck...

But I still miss Griss...

And I don't feel safe in Las Vegs without him somewhere vaguely in the background to protect me...to protect us all...

There are miniature crime scenes to be dealt with and mysterious new guys and...and...Something very creepy is going on in Nevada and it's got me edgy and unsettled...

Come home soon, Grissom...We need you,
ABS;)

Oh boy...Here we go...again...

First let me say...When I first started this site, it was pretty much a kneejerk reaction to rabid Sara fans...They make me nauseous...

Over time I've come to realize, through several GSR fans who feel the same way, that the rabid Sara fans are seen as an embarrassment by many GSRs who claim that rabid Sara fans "ruin GSR for us all"...

They may be right...

Except for rabid Sara fans themselves, I have yet to find anyone in any ship who can tolerate them for more than a few minutes...I'm not sure why, but there is something as annoying and cloying about them as there is about the character of Sara...Very very annoying...

Having said that, it's no surprise that the current speculation on whether Jorja Fox will be allowed to re-sign for Season 8 has turned into martyrdom for Sara...

(If you haven't heard, due to the "firings" of Jorja Fox and George Eads several seasons ago, TPTB are delaying offering them the choice of re-signing for Season 8...BTW, this isn't a spoiler from "over there"...I got this info from other sources...)

Personally, I think they should simply allow Jorja Fox's contract to complete, kill off Sara, and keep things moving...

I'm so ready for this to all be over...

The newest rabid Sara fan speculation is that when Griss gets back from sabattical, she'll be withdrawn (big shock there) and unresponsive (ditto) and Griss will try to help, but be rebuffed in his attempts...

And this is earth shattering news how???...

Get ready for yet another installment of "Sara is a pathetic victim who manipulates those around her by withdrawing and being unresponsive"...Yeah, it's all about Sara...Again...

Whatever...

I'd personally pay the Mini Crime Scene Killer to whack her...Sheesh...

OK, just had to let that out...

ABS;)

Finally leaving...Erm, Las Vegas...Yeah...Las Vegas...

Awww...

He'll miss her...

How sweet...Quaint even...

But the fact remains...Despite, or mebbe in spite, of anything or everything or nothing...Wait...What's the terminology?...

Ah, yes...I remember now...

It's now officially CANON that he left anyway...

And she doesn't look as if they of the "mature adult relationship" came to it as a mutual decision...Not by a longshot...

Ah, well...C'est la vie...

(Is it terribly naughty of me to keep looping that clip?...)

Huzzah,
ABS;)

P. S. Hodges is reeeaaally creepin' me out...He and Gil are BFF...Yay!...
