Goodbye and Good Luck

[bunchofgrapes]

I really thought we'd only get about 20 seconds of Brass. I was very surprised. He was actually in the episode a lot! And he got to work with Sara, which, you know, since it was her VSE, was pretty good.

The look on Jim's face when he said he was going to notify the parents and Nick says "perks of the job"...poor Jim. Interesting how that comes up again with Sara.

In the spoilers for this, Sara was supposed to get into a row with Greg. Looks like they might have changed that to be Brass (wow, that's a first--actually giving to Brass instead of taking away) cause man, was she ever snotty to him about the warrant. Jim doesn't look too pleased when she brings up that part about having to talk to the parents.

Sara goes off on Jim about how if they'd done their job the first time, Kira would still be alive. Given that Jim wasn't even in that episode, um, he wasn't the one who effed it up.

Brass gave a shout-out to McLean, Virginia, w00t! Have to mention this because it's where I work. Unfortunately, it's where the victim, Kira, was from.

For all those fan fics where Brass calls Sara "Cookie"? I had to laugh because it's Warrick who calls her that. Btw, that's one of my fan fic pet peeves. "Doll" is the other one.

I like how when Brass is talking to a suspect (in this case Marlon), he's always looking around. I bet when he eats at a restaurant, he always has to have his back to the wall.

There's a great close-up of Brass when he and Sara are listening to the Hannah/Marlon convo. I swear PG has broken his nose at some point in his life. Given his hockey playing past, it wouldn't surprise me but it was kind of obvious in that close-up.

Sad that Sara left but saying goodbye in a letter? Ouch. I feel bad for Grissom. Then again, if you're girlfriend comes up and plants a tonsil sucker on you in the middle of the lab, wouldn't you follow her and find out why? Especially since you've made it a point to keep the relationship under wraps. I will say that Sara's note was very sad and I hope that Gil always loves her too. That's me saying no future Grissom relationships. Let someone else (Brass) play in that sandbox (Brass).

Oh, and someone needs to write a fic where Sara, Nick and Brass form a support group. Anyway, these three need to form a support group where they talk about all the crappy shit that's happened to them over their lives and since they came to Vegas. They could have a special bumper sticker and maybe a secret sign.

Ohhh, woe is me for missing this episode. Love the recap. The whole letter thing ... wow. I really have to find other means of watching the ep.

I swear PG has broken his nose at some point in his life.

I've always gotten that impression when looking staring at close-up photos of him.

**ooh, PG biceps icon love**

I've noticed his nose before but tonight it was really obvious.

I really have to find other means of watching the ep.

There is a community ihearttvshows where you can join and get the episodes as soon as they are uploaded.

Lifesaver. I'll go check that comm. out, pronto. Thanks!

The look on Jim's face when he said he was going to notify the parents and Nick says "perks of the job"...poor Jim. Interesting how that comes up again with Sara.

I felt bad for Brass having to do the notification and Sara having to tell Hannah about her brother.

Sad that Sara left but saying goodbye in a letter? Ouch. I feel bad for Grissom.

Not sad Sara left, but that sentiment is widely known, I do feel bad for Grissom Though. and didn't you just want to smack him for not following her, shows just how clueless he is to a woman's feelings.

They definitely left the door open for Jora to return.

Funny that Hannah noticed and commented in the difference in Sara and did the research on her, pushing all her buttons and was able to figure her out where he co-workers and lover couldn't/hadn't

The girl with Sara in the beginning -- New girl on the team?

The girl with Sara was Ronnie. I thought she was only supposed to be around for four episodes so since she worked with Sara on Swing, maybe she's gone now. Personally, I hope they dump her and bring back Sofia.

your support group idea is terrific! Yeah, they could be in the "Screwed by Vegas" club--the SBVs!

I liked him in this one. But was surprise about the snark with Sara on the warrant.

I think it's just such a shame that for Sara's last episode they had to bring bad the annoying twit.

[bunchofgrapes]

See, I thought Sara was bringing the attitude and he was just giving it back. He was trying to tell her why he couldn't get a warrant and she was getting all snotty about it. I also thought that was the point of the scene: to show that Sara was being short and not quite herself with others.

Our DVR decided to do a reboot in the middle of the opening sequence, so all I got was Nick about to talk to Brass over the phone. Nice.

I think it's unanimous about how Grissom responded to Sara throughout the ep, but especially after she lays one on him in front of Hodges. I mean WTF, really. Surely you'd trot after her and find out what was up. At least they left it somewhat open for JF to come back.

Brass was all over in this one. I loved him going at it with Sara and for some reason enjoyed that she was the aggressor. And when he was in the classroom with Hannah, you could tell he just didn't like her at all. I heart PG so much.

About the broken nose thing? Yes. I would be amazed to find out he hadn't had his nose broken.

Okay, Cookie?

[bunchofgrapes]

I also loved that scene of him going at it with Sara. He has such a WTF look on his face but when she mentioned the parents, he got pissed.

Okay, Cookie?

When Warrick was in the locker room with Sara, he says she's a "tough cookie" or something like that. Only the tough part was said softly so all you could really hear was "Cookie" (or maybe I'm just going deaf, which is entirely possible). Anyway, I just thought it was funny because Warrick is the one who called her that while Brass never has--except in countless fics.
