I give up. I surrender.

I've come to the realization that I'm hooked on CSI.  Every night I lie down on the couch and watch the two to three hours the recorder records off of Spike TV and watch. And OMG, since I've been watching the earlier seasons, before it became more like it's glitzier spin-offs Miami and New York, I actually LIKE Grissom now. And Sarah. And although the writing is uneven here and there, at least in the earlier seasons the characters interacted, and now I "get" what other folks were saying about "Team" on this show.  Don't know if I'd look up fic for it.  And Nick Stokes is a babe, alright.   And some fans are going to roll their eyes at this, but I saw the Ship Development between Grissom and Sarah happening from way in the beginning - from like, the first six episodes.  I don't know how I feel about it, exactly, but I'm not up in arms about it. Hey, NOT a shipper here. After all, they did "flirt" with the idea of Willows and Warrick for a while, I noticed.  Well, as long as the affair between Grissom and Sarah is dealt with realisitically - for example, Grissom is reprimanded, or Sarah has to be moved to day-shift or go to another facility in another city (can you imagine her in "Crossing Jordan"? LOL) I'll go with it.

I'm not totally caught up yet, but I have realized (after finding an episode list) that I've caught a lot of season ... five? or four? before. Which might explain why I wasn't thrilled with the characters. Somewhere along the way, they all lost their souls to the Neilson machine and the glitz.
