The team uncovers a bizarre love triangle that could reveal who is responsible for the murder of a woman in a church.

Apparently this episode tests Grissom's faith, if he has any of that left.

I'm sorry to say this but I didn't like this ep. I thought it was lame. I saw the ending a mile away. I getting really sick of these GSR parts! What is happening to my favorite show?!

**Mio** · 10-19-2006, 07:40 PM

I thought it was good, but not it's usual CSI goodness, ya know? I feel like the writers are giving up because they're against GA and know they might not be able to win that time slot.

They have to understand that CSI has a loyal fanbase and has for the past 6 years. I think they should take a hint from tonight's episode... they just need a little faith.

And Grissom's reference... "these belonged to my mother". Do I presume she's dead now?

Guys, I'm not watching the entire episodes, I just get to see some clips and stuff, so I can't really give an opinion. But I wanted to know, what do you mean when you say that the show is not the same anymore? Is it JUST the GSR or is something else that you don't like?

I just wanted to know your point of view

**Mio** · 10-20-2006, 06:28 AM

The storylines seem to be getting crappy and they're focusing more on Grissom and Sarah. I'm GSR but too much is a little too much. They need to remember that this show is about forensics, not a love triangle.

Karen65 · 10-20-2006, 02:50 PM

M- Amen!!!!!

jBosco · 10-20-2006, 11:27 PM

I disagree. I didn't really like the case all that much, but I hardly think the GSR scenes are overpowering or anything. We had the same length GSR scenes, sometimes longer, before they ever even went canon. And even then, it wasn't much. And there can always be a "not too great" ep that isn't great because of the case or how it's approached, not because of GSR or lackthereof. *shrug* JMO.

I wasn't worried about the GA competition at first, but now I guess it's really testing CSI's audience. Ratings dropping are often the start of losing a show. Still, I don't want insane cases just for shockvalue in an attempt to beat GA... It's a confliction situation.

CSI beat GA on Thursday.

Personally, I really liked the episode. So far, the only one this season I haven't liked is "Fannysmackin", probably because of all the violence toward Greg. But this one was interesting.

Michelle Dessler · 10-23-2006, 08:51 PM

Hey, I know the thread is not topped, but we can still discuss, right?

I have to say that I completely disagree on the GSR thing, guys. Not because I'm a shipper, not at all. That's like jbosco said, they used to have even longer moments before they were a couple. The only difference is that now we know they are a couple.

I really don't see how a scene that lasts one minute or less than that can be a little too much. But that's just me

I mean, they are examining a corpse, but the show is not about forensics anymore just because they are side by side? Come on

**Astra** · 10-24-2006, 02:39 AM

Absolutely.... keep on talking... M usually tries to leave 'em up a few days.

I personally didn't think this episode was as solid as most... I mean, don't get me wrong... it was entertaining as usual... but the case didn't interest me a whole lot... This just happens from time to time... I don't believe it to be a backsliding of the show or anything though.

Michelle Dessler · 10-24-2006, 03:02 PM

That's exactly how I feel too, Astra

For the little I could watch, it seemed interesting, but anyway, if it wasn't interesting as usual doesn't mean the show is necessarily going downhill

**Astra** · 10-24-2006, 04:43 PM

Absolutely... I guess I just wasn't overly invested in the case. It happens...

Eilleen · 11-02-2006, 06:15 AM

I definitely agree that there was too much focusing on Sara and Grissom. The case was a bit strange too. I expected it to be... I don't know... more? There wasn't really anything happening that surprised me.
Hope the next episode is gonna get better

If we had the same GSR scenes before Way to Go would you guys still think there is "too much" of GSR? I mean, before they were actually a couple they used to work together a lot too, and we got even "more romantic"

lines than we have now, so, I still don't see what the problem is with them. It's amazing how just the fact of them being canon changed the way people are looking at them now. I mean, if they working together, it's not an investigation scene anymore, it's a GSR scene. It may feel this way for us shippers, but for the ones who aren't it shouldn't be that big a deal

At least that's how I see it
