Oh, Sweet, Sweet Insanity...
May. 18th, 2005 04:29 pmRemember me mentioning babydoll's letter to Carol Mendelsohn in my pervious LJ entry?
She DID send me it, to my great surprise - and then she cut short my debate about whether or not to share by making it public herself. She posted it to YTDAW, you can find it here. It's 12 pages. It's like Christmas come early. It's like a personal giftwrapped amusement-package to me from the Universe. Thank you, Universe.
You don't even need to know CSI to enjoy this, my friends.
Some excerpts:
To all CSI fans I’m best known as babydoll, and I wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprised if you’ve already heard of me. (...)
“I can’t see Catherine kissing just anyone, it has to be the right guy.” Well when I read this quote I laughed! Please! Over the years Cath has kissed many different guys, none of which appear to be the “right guy” and still you’re getting it wrong! You can’t honestly believe that Warrick of all people is the “right guy” for Miss Catherine Willows? Now I’m not saying that Warrick’s not a great guy and a cool character, not at all! I’m just saying he’s nowhere near the top of my list of people I would out my idol with on the show! Near the bottom in fact! (...)
It was so forced that you made it funny! It made me realise how wrong the pair really were for each other, if you have to force the chemistry that hard to make it work! When their faces were centimetres away, all I could think was how much more sense it would make had Nick been there instead. Because with them, I think the chemistry just flows! “But then watching that moment when they fell into each other’s arms, - oh, my God! I couldn’t believe it!” OK I was actually literally rolling on the floor when I read this one for the first time! I couldn’t believe how stupid that sounded! I couldn’t actually stop laughing because you couldn’t be more wrong!(...)
Down the Drain, some forced desperate attempt to put SOMETHING there, and I guess in Too Tough to Die there’s a slight amount of flirting, and in A Little Murder there’s contact, but not sexual at all! So what the hell was all the rest?! FRIENDSHIP DAMNIT! FRIENDSHIP! If you can’t see that then you must be blind from head to toe! I mean for crying out loud! In every single occasion, it’s one of them, looking out for the other! What does that tell you? I mean if you got a steamy relationship from THAT then there must be something wrong with you! You get friends from people looking out for each other, good friends, very good friends in fact! Sometimes even siblings. And for siblings to get together would just be plain gross! (I really couldn’t think of a more sophisticated way of putting that!) But it’s wrong! Call me old-fashioned, but I’m a Christian and I have my own standards, when I see a gay couple kiss, I cringe, I feel really wrong all over, it’s the same at the thought of brother and sister kissing, and it’s that feeling I get at the thought of Cath and Warrick getting intimate! You can’t honestly believe that these people are a match-made in heaven! No way! That’s wrong... it’s horrible… it’s flaming disgusting! I really can’t believe you’re actually considering going ahead with it! As a matter of honesty! It’s… it’s an abomination for starters! I’m telling you as the most loyal of all fans…. Die-hard fan as you seem to want to call me… don’t ruin the most loved crime show of all time by getting 2 people together, that no-one wants to be together!(...)
OK just to sum up. I was gonna make this longer, but all the fans seemed to have summed it up pretty well for me! Scrap the Cath/Warrick thing, at least for this season, which I know you have done, coz I know all about Grave Danger, and how it’s all Grissom this Nick that! Which I love Nick, and I’ve seen the roughcuts, and extended footage, and I’m overwhelmed. You’ve done a fantastic job and us fans could not ask for a better finale in our lives! We really couldn’t, and I want to thank the CSI crew on behalf of all of us fans for doing such a fantastic Tarantino production and everything! Also… scrap Miami and New York, the ratings have dropped considerably since they came out, and no-one I know likes them. They really arte both very crap spin-off which no dedicated fan would even attempt to watch, because the original, was, is and will always be the best by far! Remember the good ol’ days, when the CSIs were a team, 1 big relatively happy family, with only a few cares in the world, Grissom’s team, and they always will be, promote my fave character or not, they’re all Grissom’s night shift team!(...)
Read. Boggle. Marvel. Truly, there are no words to do it true justice. There are only exclamation marks.
And of course the C/W smut I intend to write just for her.
