Advanced Chemistry 202: Sara & Grissom
Sep. 14th, 2004 08:53 pmSeason 1
Sara (leaning out a door and waving a roll of duct tape): Hey, Grissom! Could you come tape me up?
Grissom (in a soft aside to Catherine): I love my work!
Catherine (admiring G's twinkling smile): It shows.
Season 4
Sara (to Grissom): Pin me!
He nods and closes on her...holding her wrists and then bracketing her waist with both hands as they act out the struggle of sexual predator and prey. He watches her intently...she avoids his eye until her final, breathy, "Yes!"
A few posts back I took on the topic of shipper imagination...but...the two scenes above require no imagination at all. Still...it isn't so much WHAT is said as some internal chemistry between the actors.
The question on my mind is: Is the viewer part of the chemical equation?
See? I am not what you would call a FAN of C.S.I. I like the show. It's clever, competently written and it is easy to care about the cast. But I usually watch it only when there is nothing else on.
I've seen maybe 6 shows per season. Based on that limited viewing, I think Nick and Catherine and Warrick are hot. I think Grissom is smart and (thanks to the Lady Heather episodes) kinky, but he doesn't light my fuse. He's a middle aged guy with bandy legs, a gut and lately he's sprouted a beard to hide his extra pounds. I think Sara is as smart as Grissom, his equal, but not much to look at, a 30 something tomboy with prominent front teeth. I don't mean to be cruel...lots of people may find them sexy...but I don't. I don't find the thought of older men and younger women appealing either.
Separately, Grissom and Sara do absolutely nothing for me. They do nothing for me when paired with the less imaginative prospective mates: Catherine and Nick. It is a chemical equation...we all have to get mixy. Almost every Sara/Grissom scene leaps off the screen at me. But until this last week, I hadn't reached my shipper combustion point.

...OR SKIP AHEAD TO SOME SLIGHTLY KINKY...WONDERFULLY EVOCATIVE AND EROTIC Sara/Grissom Fanfiction!
I highly recommend you start with BENEATH (the first story on the page)...and then back up and do UNDER (at the bottom of the page)
UNDER is the true start of the CASA CALIENTE storyline but it's not as compelling as BENEATH...so read chapter 2 first then go back and read them in order...pressing on through the first two chapters of CASA CALIENTE (story number three on the page).
Then go take a nice cold shower...'cause believe me...you will need one.
