quick episode reactions to CSI and Supernatural

[ratcreature]

I've been disgruntled with CSI this season for killing Warrick, whom I liked, even though he wasn't my favorite. However, if they really go for a Lady Heather/Gil relationship as the last scene this week with Gil asking her to stay with him in her guest room suggests, instead of backing away from it once again next week, I might just forgive them.

I really like Heather/Gil, and have long since bemoaned the (to me incomprehensible) lack of fanfic for it, so if it became canon it would be kind of awesome. Unless they'd mess it up completely of course, but maybe it will give the fanfic a boost at least.


While the suicidal, depressed teddy bear was admittedly awesome, like much of my f-list I'm sick of the trope to have a nerd mindcontrol-rape women in comedy episodes. These rapists are not sympathetic characters, and in Watsonian logic, the reason that they never managed to get any girl without a mind control rape scheme before is clearly not because they are nerds or not pretty enough, but because they are creeps who are okay raping a mind controlled, brainwashed slave over and over again. So who would want to be with them? Their fundamental personality flaw keeping them from relationships is not their nerdy geekdom. I'm just saying.

Also, it was a cheap cop out to have the victim forget (and what will she think happened to these weeks of her life anyway?!?), but the people who wished something remember.

Yeah, that would have been a good start. I think I would still have been slightly disgruntled, because the whole setup still would have had the creep as also a victim somehow pushed into raping others, even with a comment giving some perspective. But it would have been much better, that's true.
