CSI, Doctor Who and Cat Love

[misscam]

So, CSI spoilers...

The spoiler-sources at YTDAW haveth revealed that Lady Heather is returning to CSI for an episode - and hugs Grissom at the end of the episode, after he's been forced to kill someone.

This does not amuse a great portion of the GSR crowd. Hoo boy, does it ever not amuse. People rant, talk about quitting the show and rain abuse upon TPTB. Cam ponders fanfic implications of Grissom killing someone and realises she has in fact more or elss given up on the GSR show-wise. Oh dear.

Granted, I've always been a bit on and off with GSR, but I am so not liking where the characters have been taken in the show. And there's only so much I can compensate for that in my head, y'know? I try to enjoy GSR as a fanfic-ship, but much, much badfic makes me sad. I was going to write GSR for the geekfiction, and now I am tempted to write something widly dysfunctional because really, that's what the show is giving me right now.

The writing has just - blah-blahed me of late, and Doctor Who is just ever so shiny. (Not to mention there's more hand-holding in the first episode of the new series than in six years of CSI.) I gather I'm not the only one who feels that way (minus perhaps the wild Who love). Which makes me wonder if maybe six or so years is about the pain threshold for a show. I started getting blaaah about X-Files around that age of it too. I guess we'll see where CSI goes from here. But perhaps it's about time to pack up the circus - or think seriously new.

So, GSR crowd boos on - with some exceptions - and this before the episode has even aired. When it does air, there will be wanking. Assuming at least some of the episode remains as it is. Will it be the death of the ship? Will fandom implode? Will BNFs be very loud in their opinions? Will there be fall-outs? Will Cam's smutfic have wild monkey sex with a side of dysfunctional because of this? Cam will keep you updated. If she can tear herself away from the Doctor Who: Adults Only Special in her head, that is.

Meanwhile, in another fandom, dark_aegis and I have started featuredwhovian. Not much up there yet but icons and banner (all courtesy of the lovely dragonlp86), but you can join up early if you think you'll be interested in it. Our first victim will be announced, and a FAQ should also pop up soon.

Also, mademoisellenon? You made fandom_wank.

Finally, thank for all good wishes for the cat. I am happy to announce he is going very well. He hasn't tried to bite open the stitches, and takes his medication with only a slight distaste. He even demanded to sleep in my bed today, curled up against me, so he seems his old self. I'm going to spoil him seriously this weekend for being good.

Oh, I quite like the character of LH, which is why I am not in the chorus of 'OhNOES, the show is ruined!' over that specifically. But my trust in the writing of the show is... not high, which makes me not optimistic about how it will all come out. Still, I'll sit on the fence and wait. I have popcorn here.

Not sure they're killing GSR - but not sure they're giving it much life either. Limbo, what joy.

I love LH. But so far, this season is really disappointing me. I think this season's Miami episodes are actually better- with each episode it's one or two major cases, then something involving one of the CSIs. SO much better, it helps with character development.

silly CSI TPTB. I want GSR. Now.

But Miami has the sunglasses of justice...
