old school csi

so we're dling and watching old school csi.  and last night we watched 106 (i think), in which nicky almost gets shot and grissom pulls his gun after growling "i hope i never have to!" at the bitchy cop who's snarling at warrick.

how many of their current plot-threads-in-progress had already begun?  count em!

they were totally working the "warrick is hot" angle. 

sara: we need to take this car apart.
warrick: okay, let's do it. [tugs his dress shirt sharply to unbutton it in a manly fashion]
sara: [has undressed while you were drooling over warrick's manly biceps and is throwing her shirt in the car]

nicky, with his little hair fin, was totally macking on greg in the lab, while greg got in as much gratuitous ass-wriggling as possible.  grissom comes in and greg takes this as an excuse to edge even closer to nick, who at the end of the scene pats him on the shoulder seizes an excuse to throw his arm around him and then leans in and fondles his chest.

warrick was already trying to cover for catherine with grissom.  aw!  catherine, get it together and leave that asshole for the hunk of blue-eyed, no-longer-gambling manflesh right under your nose!

and not in the every day run of things, george eads proved that he can actually act the fuck out of his part with this stunning breakdown, almost to tears, when his life is threatened.  well, okay, he DOES cry, but first he gets all bright-eyed, red-faced and trembly, and... wow, man.  WOW.

the phaaaantom of the opera is here

we're at wax's mamma's for her belated birthday dinner, coming home tomorrow.

i spent most of last night reading entertainingly bad phantom of the opera fics that generally did a horrible job of "fixing" the ending (to phantom/christine, of course!). so far i haven't found anybody actually writing the sex, but i have high hopes for the handful of poorly-htmled angelfire pages my googling turned up. :chortle:

highlights of last night:

+ the phantom using "gross" in dialogue to mean "disgusting"
+ christine thinking the phantom said something "lamely"
+ christine stomping her foot "sardonically"
+ christine "snuggling into" the phantom's jacket--while he was wearing it, and as far as we knew, it wasn't really giantly ill-fitting
+ raoul's family disinheriting them, and christine subsquently supporting raoul in a life of leisure by her embroidery while he refused to work
+ the phantom stopping by a catholic church in the middle of the night on their way to the harbor and asking the priest to perform a drive-by wedding+confession... and the priest doing it

ps:

me: they translated "the phantom of the opera is here inside your mind" into swedish as "...here inside you"
cim's brain: although perhaps the added suggestiveness went well with the mood.
wax: cause "inside your mind" just sounds stupid in swedish.
me: it'd mean physically inside, right?
wax: it'd just sound dumb.
me: not that it sounds totally un-dumb in english.
wax: even dumber.
