"CSI" spoils our Jorja peach

One of the many conflicts about Thursday night TV is this:

I don’t watch CSI regularly (weak stomach), but the thought of Jorja Fox and Marg Helgenberger together forever with no Grissom in sight certainly earns the show a place on the DVR, even if I have to FF through the icky parts.

But a spoiler dropped this week turns out to be ickier than all of the carved corpses in creation. (Spoiler, I say! Stop now if you don’t want to know!)

Apparently, Grissom has not gone far. Take a look at this trailer. You’ll probably have to watch it twice to catch the spoiler, since the chemistry between Sara and Catherine is the stuff of fan fiction. (Yes, please.)

Again I say, ick. (Granted, that is not the first word that came to mind.) OK, I know Sara didn’t specifically name her spouse. Maybe Dorothy Snarker’s fantasy came true.

Despite the setback, Sara/Jorja and Catherine/Marg are a very cute couple, obviously destined for more than friendship. Just check out the boob touching.

Don’t you think they belong together? What are your thoughts about this (icky) spoiler?

    *Raises Hand*

    I'm with you on the Jorja list.

    But I disagree about MLP-she's beautiful but isn't in my fantasy list.  I think she can act and is very gracious, which is kind of rare in Hollywood.

    dragonlady07's picture

    yessss

    good call on parker

    Sara's picture

    agree about jorja

    i've never found her remotely attractive, and her character on csi would drive me crazy when i used to watch the show.

    but mary louise parker on the other hand.....i love her. she's pretty much on the top of my list.

    I'm with you on this...but I think Mary Louise Parker was one of my first crushes...sooo, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one

    I don't find her attractive

    I don't find her attractive either.  Part of that may be because I can't stand her CSI character, but overall I think she's very plain-looking.

    Meh, I don't watch the show

    Meh, I don't watch the show so I don't really care about the fandom. Sick of hearing about Jorja Fox though. She always quits the show because she wants more money and now she is back on again? She seems greedy  

    http://lesbiandaily.blogspot.com/ <---Check it out. :]

    She only quit the show once

    She only quit the show once lol. She's not back full time. Just like 5 episodes this season. She made some appearance on Season 9 because one of the CSI's got killed and to further her thing with Will Peterson's characte, Grissom.

    clairey's picture

    married!

    Sadly she went away to Costa Rica, not Iowa...damn you writers...it's Grissom isn't it. Well at least we got to skip the wedding...blahh. With that, getting rid of our soup-chef and killing off my Angel/Stella hopes in NY, I am cancelling my CSI magazine subscription - despite the hot posters. 

    Brennan's picture

    I have to disagree.

    Ok, so while I'd love to see Sara and Catherine together, I must admit that I'm actually rooting for Sara and Grissom! I've watched pretty much every ep of this show and I've loved Grissom from the very beginning. The two of them ending up together are like Tina and Bette ending up together. It's just something that has to happen!! :)

    For all you Sara and Catherine Shipper fans out there...

    I can't wait for the Season premiere. The teaser looked great! I think her and Grissom are cute together in a science geek sorta way. I love me some Jorja Fox!

    And for all you Sara/Catherine shipper fans out there:

    Quote:
    Would Catherine ever kiss Sara?
    Jorja: We did today! At the TV Guide Magazine photo shoot. But on the show, probably not. Sara and Catherine love each other very much, but they probably wouldn't kiss.
    Marg: We have to keep some mystery

    Here are some very hot pics from the new issue of TV Guide:

    OMG

    I just realized that Jorja reminds me of someone...I don't like being reminded of her. Jeez, it's the teeth. I can't help it.

    As for...the topic. I don't like the men in CSI. Don't think Grissom was that bad, the Miami guy is worse. However..

    OMG

    i cant STAND david caruso! idk what it is- i just want to smack those glasses off

    LOL! I'm right there with ya! What makes it worse is those corny ass one liners he says before putting them on.

    I'm so with you! The

    I'm so with you! The glasses. The one liners. Ick.

    But which of them was the one who quotes Shakespeare all the time? I mean, there's nothing to say against Shakespeare, but an icky CSI-guy quoting him is too.much.period.

    Shanti's picture

    Grissom quotes Shakespeare

    Grissom quotes Shakespeare alot. He has his little "one liner" moments but they are no where as bad as David Caruso's.
    frammie's picture

    And the stance

    Don't forget the way he delivers those fabulous lines... always standing sideways to the camera/the people he's interviewing/the bomb that never quite goes off when he's near...

    What's wrong with facing what's in front of you?

    Here's an idea... How about this couple on CSI: Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard) and Riley Adams (Lauren Lee Smith)? Hm? Hm?

    I like! :-D I wish Sofia would come back.

    Sara, Grissom, & Catherine

    I've never understood how anyone could find any kind of chemistry with Sara & Grissom together. They were fairly decent characters individually in the first 4+ seasons, but when the writers started hinting of their 'relationship', I think the characters became bland & boring to watch - basically one-demensional.

    I always loved the scenes between Sara & Catherine - even when they were biting each other's heads off! LOL They worked well together. I hope they continue that chemistry with Jorja's return earlyin the new season.

    Tris's picture

    Hinting

    Actually, the writers hinted at a relationship between Grissom & Sara from the first episode right after the pilot. Grissom called Sara to Las Vegas because she was the one person he trusted implicitly. I think the writers were feeling the characters (all of the CSIs) out in the first season before they figured out where they wanted to go with them. Case in point, the first season all of the characters are fairly light hearted and then become progressively darker and more angst ridden as the seasons progressed.

    Grissom and Sara are really cute together in my opinion and I rooted for them the whole way through. I do feel that the writers fell down on the potential romance between Warrick & Catherine, which made me really sad but it's too late now.But I do recognize how hot Jorja & Marg are. I just can't see Sara & Catherine hooking up, that seems somehow wrong.

     

     

    Love is a growing up.

    Apologies about the video clip problems. If it's not working while you're here, you can watch it at the People site.

    Yay to Sara coming back.

    Yay to Sara coming back. NOOOOOO to GSR.  They had just zero chemistry. It's just.... wrong.

    Wow chemistry extravaganza in the clip though! God I hope Sara didn't marry Grissom. Although you know she totally did. Clearly the wrong paring.

    The embedded player is telling me that the account has exceeded its data transfer limit.  No doubt too many AEers got there before me--is there another place for the vid?  (Must.  Have.  Sara/Catherine.  Chemistry.)

    Yes!

    GSR!

    I LOVE Grissom and Sara. Granted I don't love them as much anymore, it feels like I'm watching "Billy and Jorja" instead of Grissom and Sara. I loved the past episodes with their cat and mouse game. How adorable and it kept me hooked! I still love GSR. :D
    noreality's picture

    umm really

    Seriously, do we really think we could lucky enough to see Marg Helgenberger in a lesbian relationship? ! And btw so over CSI Miami and David Caruso, find some new lines.....
    7Up's picture

    I love Sara/Jorga being back, I'll actually tune in again!

    I have to wait untill later to watch the clip as I've been downloading media today... LOL...  but I love Sara/Jorga being back, I'll actually tune in again! 

    Sorry, but I'm not at all a fan of the Sara Catherine idea, I just don't see their personalities/ characters being compatible.

    Catherine is such an ultra straight character that the only way a woman would be able to get her attention was if said woman was real trouble! I could almost imagine a woman who was a real power lover, a woman who needed to always be in control and have a following, a woman who saw seducing Catherine as a challenge, a woman who definitely enjoys seducing men and women, a woman who is emotionally unavailable but needs attention, she'd probably be very sharp, nonmonogomous, and into something illegal.

    Sara is toatlly drawn to security and those she can trust and no way would Catherine fit that bill.  Grisam does though, so I'm all for a straight couple on tv where the guy is just a good guy and not some macho playboy or a sleeze who's so unattractive compared to the woman he's been matched with that you want to barf on the casting people.  Sure I'd love to see Sara with another woman, and I think her character could easily swing that way, however Grisom is a gentle nice guy and I'd hate to think Sara would dis him if he stays cool...   unless of course she realizes she's gay in a very realistic way...  ***meaning she falls for a woman and is suddenly awakened to a depth of love and desire she's never known before or thought possible..... it would have to include a painful process of ending her relationship with Grisom that would be difficult and upsetting for them both.  She'd have to deny her self for a while, maybe start to be with said womn and then end it repeatedly.... drive the other woman crazy first so that the viewers would sympathize with the new lady in Sara's life and find Sara's inability to accept her lesbianism more upsetting than her disloyalty to Grisom. Basically everyone would need to seem better off for Sara to just accept being a lesbian...*** 

    I'd love to see this last story unfold on tv - handled well- it's so common!

    Am I the Only One....

    Who is a bit saddened by the loss of the gorgeous and talented Lauren Lee Smith on CSI? Man, I've been following her for years, since her days on Mutant X. So, I have a huge celebrity crush on her - I admit it. But still, I was enjoying her on CSI, and now she's gone? Wah, my friends. Wah....is all I have to say.

     

    Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand..

    So...

    Are there actually any lesbian relationships in CSI now? I'm kinda missing something here, it's been ages since I saw it!
    LCTRgirl's picture

    Sadly no, only subtext and

    Sadly no, only subtext and even that's a bit scarce now that Sara has gone.

    I like GSR

    Well I like the idea of Sara and Grissom together but only because there is no way in hell the show will ever have Sara with Catherine or any of the main female characters getting it on.

    All of the CSI women are drop dead gorgeous and sexy as hell and I would like to see Sara with Catherine, or Sofia, or Riley mmmmmmmm

    I'm excited Jorja is back and I like that her and Grissom are married. . . .

    shes gorgeous.

    ive had a madddd crush on her since season 1. i stopped watching when she left so maybe i can start again now ;)

     

    o how i wish her character was gay

     

     

    brightClik5's picture

    super excited to see Jorja

    I am looking forward to seeing her back on the show, even if it's only for a little while.  my heart of hearts wishes her character was gay, but it's been pretty well set up since day one that she and Grissom will end up together.  so it may not be top on my list of dreams, but i get it. 

    In my imagination, i'll still be imagining she's with Sofia Curtis.  i wish they'd bring her back as well!

    Either way, i'll be enjoying that gap toothed grin tonight.  :)

    Straight up

    I'm at a loss as to how people can find Jorja attractive. I think she is just... NOT.

    But to each her own! ;-)
