And there was squeeing

[bunchofgrapes]

But not for the reason you think. tos_lover, don't peek. It's better to watch unspoiled.



My squee? Well, you'll see, you'll see...

I'm very happy that all my GSR friends got their happy ending. I liked it too, although I did marvel at how drenched in sweat Grissom was and how "just stepped out of the salon, complete with make-up" Sara looked. I'm guessing she knew he was coming. Still, it was very nice and I'm glad you all finally got a proper kiss.

Ok, back to the beginning. At first I was thinking they got a new sheriff but then a little later, Brass called him Burdick so he's the same sheriff, different guy playing him. And Brass looked a bit resigned when the sheriff shot him down and seemed to blame him that the killer killed again.

Just a odd observation: PG always looks very good in HD. Not everyone on the show does. I also love how the peach fuzz on the tops of his ears stands out in HD. And he has really sexy hands.

So Ecklie is the new Undersheriff. Interesting. I wonder if that will get Marc Vann more screen time.

Wife of suspect: "You always keep tabs on your wife?"
Brass: "Yeah, that's why I'm divorced."

Drug dealer starts to run. Brass, following the police cruiser in his bitchin' Dodge Charger, sees this and takes off to cut him off. Important note to fan fic writers: BRASS DOES NOT DRIVE A FREAKING FORD TAURUS! HE NEVER, EVER HAS! Sorry, that's a ginormous pet peeve. Brass cuts off the perp, who darts around car and into the street. And becomes road kill courtesy of LVPD. Brass's reaction was priceless. Long day, Jim?

It's so nice that after 9 seasons they are finally letting Brass do all the cop things like pursue suspects, instead of having the CSI's do it. Maybe that's because before it was always Nick and Warrick and Warrick's gone. I hope this continues but I probably just jinxed it.

Special note to PG though: when you're busting down doors and such, please, I beg of you, LOSE THE FREAKING TIE! Thank you.

Ok, the best part of this episode? The part that made me squee? Grissom walking through the corridors, doing that little Survivor memory walk, observing his former peeps in action. He looks over and there's Brass and Catherine. Sitting alone (Brass is looking at something on a laptop). Hanging out. It's BrassCat people! The new ship is on! See mingsmommy, the signs are there.

ETA: I forgot to add how awesome it was that Brass got to free and comfort the woman, Maureen. Seriously, after 9 years I think they finally figured out what to do with Brass. I really hope they don't eff it up.

LOL. I see! I see! Gimme a little recovery time and I'll get there.

Oh, he was smoking in this ep! Lovely indeed. And yes, I'm all atwitter over the ending, and I'm sorry Brass heard about Grissom second-hand, but I'm hoping he'll get more screen time now. He's the reason I'll keep watching.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I forgot--he's so good with the girl. I just love it when he does that, and we've only seen it, what, once before? The I-5 Murders? It makes me want to go out and get distressed just to have him comfort me. :P

[bunchofgrapes]

LOL! So it's not just me who thinks like that? I do love how tender he is with female victims. They need to show that more often. And little kids. He's great with little kids too.

I'm so glad you're going to keep watching. Even if you don't write CSI fic any more, at least we can still have discussions about it. Or more likely I discuss Brass and you nod politely.

[bunchofgrapes]

Yes, you must have much time to bask in the afterglow and have naughty thoughts.

Btw, did you notice that Catherine can't wink?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do! Here's hoping anyway.

And definitely we can have discussions. Heh, we need to get together again...

[laura27md.livejournal.com]

I adored Brass in this ep! Especially his reaction after the road-kill. He's the reason I'll keep watching. :)

[bunchofgrapes]

Brass got some great screen time in this episode. I really loved him with the victim too.

While many WP fans are sad that Grissom's gone and probably won't watch any more, it's nice to know there are quite a few sticking around for Brass.

[cincoflex.livejournal.com]

Brass can be hard with perps--he didn't let up on Mrs. Accomplice one minute, but with victims, yeah, he's good.

Happy sigh.

[airforce-chic.livejournal.com]

I'll miss WP but at the same time, hopefully it means more screen time for PG. At the end of the epsode, I was kind of like "it's done, he's gone" now let's have more Brass.

I am curious as to how things are going to work out with Ecklie being his new boss...

The rescue scene was pure awesome. I was soooo glad he was the one to get her. I just loved the way he conforted her.

[insanityonline1.livejournal.com]

I love Brass. He's freakin awesome.

Could have done without the GSR ending, but the moment between G and C at the end was amazing.

[smacky30.livejournal.com]

I'm still holding out for Brass/LH. :D

Actually, I just like messing with you. I think Brass kicks ass all the time.

[bunchofgrapes]

Mrs. Accomplice was hinky. What was up with that whole cell phone thing? And I always figured Brass had to be hard with perps so that Grissom could be the sympathetic good guy.

[bunchofgrapes]

I hear ya! That's my hope too. I'm still bitter that Brass has been shoved into the plot basement ever since the end of S6. Wait, he was even shoved into the background during his own episode! Yeah, still bitter.

[bunchofgrapes]

I'm just glad it's over and the show can move on. I have high hopes for the rest of the season.

[bunchofgrapes]

I don't care who Brass is paired with as long as she's a she and not some hinky Mary Sue. I ship Brass equally and at every opportunity.

[airforce-chic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm still in the bitter fan-club too! Maybe TPTB are going to have him walking up the basement stairs now starting with next week. We'll see. Now that the cast is settled down/in, there is sooo much they could do with PG's acting abilities and Brass' storylines.

[bunchofgrapes]

I saw this comment and completely forgot to reply. Yes, we do need to get together again!

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

:D When are you free?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

I had to admire the actress on that, though--she really made me believe in the character, someone smart and yet totally under her husband's control. Very sharp.

[bunchofgrapes]

I emailed you but just in case I sent it to the wrong addy, I asked about next Saturday, later in the afternoon, like around 5pm?

[tos-lover.livejournal.com]

And I was so good about not peeking, apparently I forgot to comment! (and you know I peeked!)

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Yes, I replied yesterday--maybe Gmail ate it. :D That's fine! Sounds great to me.

[bunchofgrapes]

Apparently, it Gmail did eat it. But it finally threw it up because I got it this morning. Maybe that explains the other email I didn't get from a friend. She uses Gmail too and sent me something on Friday that still hasn't shown up.
