misscamYo, parts of CSI fandom?
Ooooh, you don't like Grissom and Sara together so ooooh talk about how Sara needs death, misery and rape! Oooh, bonus use of ratings to point out how the whole of America hates this chick just like you do, because you were elected spokesperson for them by divine will! Oooh, you really don't like that Lady Heather caught Grissom's eye, so ooooh talk about how that makes her a totally slut and prostitute and stuff! Ooooh, bonus use how how morally wrongity wrong BDSM is in all its forms. Oooh, you think Catherine is a bit of a threat to your OTP, so oooh mention how she's so unprofessional and how dare she actually enjoy sex? Ooooh, bonus deprecatory sexual slur used! And of course, if Grissom/Nick/Warrick is not with the female you've decided is best for him, he'll be totally miserable and you should talk about how miserable he would be endlessly. Ooooh bonus fanfic that explores this and just how mean, vile, foul and bad in bed that chick he shouldn't be with is! Ooooh, someone bashed your favourite character HOW DARE THEY and oooh better bash their favourite character right back! Ooooh bonus offensive character nicknames! Oh double bonus insulting anyone who is fan of the character! Ooooh free bash-for-all now!
Your score: Extreme fail.
Yes, I'm just a liiiiiiiitle fed up with all the character bashing, why do you ask?
Aaaaaanyway, remember some posts ago when I wondered if the wank would a-fap over at TVGuide after they opened a talkback section on CSI? Well, it did. In minor ways.
And off it goes...
The moral highground got lost in the woods:
So it's funny to me that you're talking about moral high ground, about us beating down your arguments when you're just sort of weakly flailing about with ratings numbers, which don't make sense, because as the other poster said, if it was all about Catherine and Grissom, why didn't the last two episodes get good ratings? And now you're attacking our posts.
[Jaws opening theme]:
The evidence never lies. CSI has jumped the shark, and you can blame it on that ridiculous insult to viewers that aired in the final few minutes of Way To Go.
Because Catherine fans never bash Sara like ever:
Ya know, now that you mention it, the only CSI shippers I ever see complain about Catherine are Sara fans...
It's either Cath's boobs are too prominant, her lovelife is too much, her daughter is troubled, etc, etc...
Gee, insecure much?...
TVGuide is taking sides in the shipwar!:
Well over 20 million people watch CSI. And 70% of people who write to CSI and CBS ask about Grissom and Sara.
So why does TV Guide choose to publish a letter from someone who thinks the Grissom/Sara relationship is being shoved down our throats? Does anyone at TV Guide watch CSI?
Anyone who thinks CSI has pushed this relationship beyond any limits is obviously incapable of objective thought. It disappoints me that TV Guide continues to support that opinion by publishing anti Grissom-Sara comments in lieu of the majority opinion.
Old grievances come to light:
I almost stopped watching when they suggested Grissom had slept with Lady Heather. Grissom? Above reproach, morally superior Grissom getting his jollies with the town dominatrix...while on the job to boot!
Bully for GSR:
Its ridiculous how you Grissom and Sara fans got your panties in a wad over a one-sentence FEEDBACK. I couldn't get why you are bullying the email-sender, tracking her down, and spreading malicious information about her over her one-sentence email, it's just out and out psycho.
Personal insults are fired:
to the person who said that gsr has had like 2 minutes per episode and that they haven't worked every case together...may i remind you of a post you made on another board where you posted every moment of screentime they've had together this season (which was quite substantial by the way).
And gets a torpedo back:
You know LisaK...I love your post. We refuse to accept..over and over..we refuse to accept. We refuse to accept your opinion as gospel? Yes, we do. We refuse to accept your LAME ratings crap? Yes, we do. All of your posts on here have been about ratings. Something you cannot prove and something that you are spinning to match your opinion. If the rating went up, it's because of GC, if the ratings went down it's because of GS. See a biased silly pattern here? Just because you type something, doesn't make it true and please stop assuming you know how all the viewers have tuned out feel.
Missiles!:
Headdesk. Now I know what the previous poster is talking about, he is right you all get your panties in a wad over littlest things and are paranoid. I'm not insinuating that you are cheating.. I called it "figures" because I have no time to type "The Computation of Grissom and Sara's screentime for Season seven down to the last second by sarahvma" or to think of a name for whatever the hell is the computation you did.. because its Christmas for f*ck's sake, everyone is busy.. don't expect them to have the leisure time like you do. If I'm going to be rude I will do it in your face. Lighten up and get a life.
Lightsabre duels!:
However, I won't apologize for what I said to you earlier. I still feel that you were rude, and that now you've been even more rude by personally attacking me. Did I overreact? Yes, and I will admit to that, and I apologize for the DEPTH of my reaction, but not for what it was trying to get across. You started out your sentence by saying you didn't know how reliable my numbers were. That was what I reacted most to, not the fact that you chose to put little quotes above figures.
But hasn't Waterloo already happened?:
I can understand that 23+ million viewers are not all going to agree on Grissom's choice of a mate, or on Sara's choice of a mate for that matter. What I don't understand is why this turf war is still going on. Seems to me that the battle has been won. Grissom and Sara are together, and if that makes some viewers want to puke, then I really don't understand why they're still watching.
[Cue omnious music?]:
When Season 8 dawns, I think folks will still be sputtering over what happens during this season...
Wankimplosion II, anyone? I should have a poll on it to see if anyone can actually predict what will happen and how the fans will react. If I was running CSI and had read all these posts, I know how I could be tempted to end CSI in pure spite.
Rocks fall, everyone has orgies in the rubble, an escaped ninja nemesis of Grissom kills everyone except Ecklie, who wanders into the sunset with Grissom's komodo dragon. The end.
