Fallen Idols
Brass notes on tonight's episode and a few extras.
Brass got some of his snark back so I don't have much to bitch about for once--although I'm still bitter about the lack of continuity and the fact that he was supposed to have a line to Megan that they gave to Nick. That would have counted as a wee bit of continuity but nope.
First off, what is it about Jim and women these days? The guy's a flirt and the women are flirting back. First there was the woman in "Toe Tags" and now Sheila's mom. Jim knows how to punch machines. Little personal things like knowing the soda machine doesn't work and how to get a free soda is great stuff. See, I don't ask for much, really.
Jim at an autopsy? Um, let's see, seven seasons and yes, that's a first. I think he's only been in the morgue maybe three times prior to this.
And then to think maybe he was somehow responsible? Squee! Too bad they cut the bit with Jim giving CPR. And it would have been nice to see his reaction to finding out Sheila was dead. In his office. And him not liking to touch dead bodies. Wonder if the writers remember that?
"Now I know why I don't like modern art". Welcome back, Jim! And can I just say how much I love it when he runs around with his gun out? Rawr!
A couple of side notes: Yay for Nick's hair growing back and Yay for no mention about Warrick getting divorced. I really don't want him available for the potential Cath hook-up because I'm still holding out for Brass in a towel in her bedroom at the end of the season.
Now I know all the Grissom/Sara fans are wetting their pants right about now but if I were a casual viewer, I'd be all WTF about that end scene. I mean, I thought it was okay and all but the writers could have at least given some sort of set up to it. Otherwise, I'm just going WTF? It seemed so...left field.

Brass was awesome in the epi. I liked it. As for Jim at an autopsy. . .well, it was his office, after all. I think I'd feel a little guilt too. The story was so-so. I don't really care much for high school students.

See, that's my take on that last scene. It's like someone said, hey, we'll toss a little bone to all the GSR fans just to let them know we're still stringing them along. If I were a big Grissom/Sara fan, I'd be ticked off.
Then again, I'd be happy to get an out of the blue continuity to S6 Brass scene...
Idyllic Falling
Forget continuity. It doesn't exist in real life, so why should it exist in fiction?
So many strange snippets have cropped up in episodes I've watched which link directly to stuff I've already written beforehand. There is definitely something occult about CSI. Which means that we can manipulate the future content just by gathering our collective wishes, and it seems pretty certain that we're all on roughly the same track. So for an exercise in positive sorcery, we couldn't really have a better subject, now could we?

I pretty much equate my GSRism and TPTB with an emotionally abusive relationship on good days and on not as good days, the Stockholm syndrome. They have strung me along all these years teasing me, only giving me crumbs to subsit on. So, a look is a repast, a word is a feast, a touch is a bacchanal...any tender mercies from their hands are a cause for jubilation. It is sick, it is sad and it is what I live for.
Do I agree the scene came out of left field? Yep. Do I care? Nope. Am I a squeeing, idiot fangirl? You betcha! ;)

It just seemed like the writers could have given you all a little bit more. I guess the reason it seems worse this season though is because Grissom and Sara are actually in a relationship. If I were a huge GSR fan, I'd be ticked that I'm still getting crumbs, although granted, the crumbs are a lot juicier now.
I love, love, LOVE flirty Brass. He is just too cool. I love him like this. I want to see him with someone so much.
Yup, me too. Little scenes that show off a different side of Jim like that one did are crumbs for us Brass fans.

I am a diehard GSR fan and I was like WTF? It did appear to be stuck on the end. But considering what we normally get - it was pretty damned amazing. And was it only 19 seconds - I swear I counted 20! LOL.

Since apparently they filmed her actually shaving off all of his beard, it would be nice if they provided that someplace--like maybe on the S7 DVD extras.

Brass shipments
Re: Brass shipments
Actually, out of all the main characters Brass gets shipped the least.
I put this down to the "if I can, I will" syndrome. He knows he can do it, with blonde leggy women, chair legs, bits of evidence, even men.
Sorry but you totally lost me here. Chair legs and bits of evidence?

The worst thing about this episode was the hospital 15" screen and commercials. I begged them to let me go home last Thursday instead of Friday.
The best thing was definitely the coke machine. Classic Brass. And can I just say that the lab coat with shirt and tie underneath gave the man a look that no one has ever pulled off in that room before.
I cannot believe that tonight's is a repeat. I could really do with a decent JB fix right now. Of course it's doubtful I'd get that from a new ep...
