[fandom-hoarder]

I'm on the Misha ep of CSI, 5x13. A few eps ago, Adrianne Palicki was on.

[moon-of-desire]

Random Questions from Starla Deluna about Misha’s roles outside Supernatural.  CSI Season 5 Episode 13 - Nesting Dolls

So we all know Misha plays the Receptionist Vlad in this episode, He is the partner of Chloe the owner of  Madame Matryoshka's a beauty shop. A former employee of the beauty shop named Svetlana is missing for 2 years at this point and ends up being found buried and encased in roofing tar.  But besides here there is another body underneath her. For the body underneath they simply find out that she tried to come into the country while hiding in a suitcase. For Svetlana they have to dig a bit deeper.

                       SPOILER ALERT + Quick Summary/Recap

So they start the episode by going back to Svetlana’s ex husband who is allready remarried, and tells them Svetlana fell in love with someone else. They go back to her workplace Madame Matryoshka's and find out that it’s actually a key point in a Russian Mail order bride circle.

Svetlana was unhappy in her marriage, Andrew never beat her but there where signs that he was mentally abusive towards her, at her work Svetlana fell in love wuth a client named Ken and she wanted to escape Andrew. So she and had made him punch her so she could go to the hospital and falsely acuse Andrew of abuse. This resulted Ken’s blood being present on Svetlana’s body + clothes.

He is brought in for questioning, where he shows Brass a note from Svetlana telling him that she was running away. Ken finds it odd that the note refers to him as "Ken" because Svetlana always called him "Kenski." 

Their attempts at framing Andrew for abuse happend to be a succes since Andrew did spend a night in custody for false accusations. However not much more of it could be proven so he was let go. A days later Svetlana is murderd inside the Beauty Shop by her ex husband Andrew. However they have no proof of it. Untill they decide to examine the handwriting on the letter They compare the handwriting from the appointment book and the note Svetlana wrote to Ken. He finds that the letters are a match, meaning that the handwriting on both is Vlad's. They compare Vlad his credit card statements and find out that 5 years ago he brought alot of tar.

However not much later we see in a flashback Vlad coming up into the store whitnessing the murder and looking Andrew directly in the eyes.

Vlad cleaned up the crime scene of the body and took Svetlana to that oil field and dumped her in tar. As he did this same job before for certain Russian families. He dumps body, body never found. Vlad says that Andrew is a very good tipper.Then the question comes up if Andrew was a good tipper 5 years ago. Vlad says no, He explains that the girl beneath it couldn’t get a Visa but decided to come anyway in a suitcase. She didn’t survive the trip and Vlad decided to get rid of her.

With this they have a full confession from Andrew that he murderd his wife but Vlad’s faith is undecided.

And here are Starla’s questions about the episode & Vlad!

1. What the hell happend to Vlad? I mean he did just confess to whitnessing a murder, covering up a crime scene and burrying a body.

2. How did Vlad know in which suitcase the girl was hiding? Did he know which flight they came in and who the suitcase belonged too?

3. Why would Vlad get rid of the suitcase? If the girl came with nothing how would they know she would be there?

4. Why didn’t Vlad order multiply amounts of Tar? I know Tar can be used as a base for coatings and paint, in roofing and paving, and as a binder in asphalt products. A the amount would be less sucpicious and B. He could’ve just said Roofing repair.

CSI 5.13 Nesting dolls

i was watching the episode ecklie orders grissom to fire sara and he’s basically like yeah over my dead body sweetheart

[addictedtostorytelling]

Hi there! When sara confessed to grissom that she still loves him on 5x12 snakes, why do you think grissom sent her to work with catherine on 5x13?

hi, anon!

so while episodes 05x12 "snakes" and 05x13 "nesting dolls" are certainly consecutive in terms of the airing order, they're actually not all that close together, chronologically speaking, in terms of the in-show timeline.

believe it or not, in-universe, they take place over three weeks apart from each other, with the events of the former episode happening in-universe on 01.12.05 and the latter on 02.03.05.

that so, i don't think there is actually any real correlation between sara's revelation in episode 05x12 "snakes" and grissom sending her to work with catherine in episode 05x13 "nesting dolls."

like.

it's not as if sara blurts out that she's still in love with grissom and then he immediately the very next day "exiles her" to go work with catherine so that they don't have to be around each other.

rather, sara tells grissom she's still in love with him (in so many words), and then nearly a month passes—during which time, the two of them almost certainly end up working together elsewhere, just given the logistics of the split team—before he then loans out her services to catherine as a matter of availability rather than for any reason having to do with their personal relationship.

as grissom states in episode 05x13 "nesting dolls," the reason why sara is the csi he sends catherine from grave shift (as opposed to anyone else) is because sara is the csi from grave shift who just so happens to have wrapped her last case at the time when catherine finds herself in need of extra help.

had greg or sofia just wrapped a case instead of sara, then he might have just as soon sent one of them instead.

it's just a quirk of the schedule that sara is the one who is "up for grabs" at that particular juncture.

really, it has nothing to do with her or grissom's feelings for her specifically.

and especially not as, by this point in their relationship, i don't think grissom would be likely to try to foist sara off on catherine in order to avoid having to confront his feelings about her anyway. by mid-s5, he is in a much different headspace than he was in in s4; he's no longer running away from how he feels for sara. he's not trying to impose arbitrary distance between them anymore. she told him that she's still in love with him, and rather than being terrified, he's actually excited. he wants her close to him. he's not in the business of dodging the truth about their love for each other in the same way that he once did.

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

How CBS uses the same actors in different roles.

1- Josh Stewart.

*Robert Wharton in Ghost whisperer, 5x13 'Living nightmare'

*Colin Astor in CSI: Miami, 7x14 'Smoke gets in your CSI's'

*Sean Cleary in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 4x18, ‘Bad to the Bone’

*William LaMontagne Jr. in Criminal minds, recurring role

Note: only in CM he is totally a good guy 😂

[iriswestsallen]

Based on the 5x13 still, wouldn’t those criminals know Barry’s face because of the trial and that he’s a csi?

😂😂💀💀 you’d think that but nah consistency isn’t a thing. there are plot holes everywhere. it’s really freaking sad. they want the audience to think we’re as dumb as they are. 

[sophsun1]

Did you ever watch the Stars In The House reunion? Hal said that he's always wanted more Queer as Folk (that he's even suggested a CSI thing, where it's like QAF Miami, QAF LA, QAF New York, etc, etc.) and I think that's such a fantastic idea, I don't understand why they haven't done it. I even think this new show could have been a good thing if it had been like a second generation thing - they could have taken characters like Gus, JR, and some new characters, and they could have made this new "woke" version of QAF without completely disregarding the original. I even think that it's a little bit offensive that they're just not mentioning it at all. Is it flawed? Absolutely. Is it offensive? For sure. But that doesn't take away from how incredibly important is was at the time, and everything that it did for the community. Scott even says in that SITH reunion that this was at a time when Bush was standing in the White House garden, promising to make it a law that gays couldn't marry. And these creators, these actors just went 'Fuck that. We're gonna shove this in your face, and it's gonna be unapologetic, and explicit, and you're gonna have to deal with it. We're not leaving.' Plus I do believe that it was the first show ever to show a wedding between two same-sex characters. This show is just so important. I'm happy to talk about the flaws, for sure, but to completely disregard it just feels... wrong. It feels bad. It did so many good things.

Hey anon!

As a fan I would absolutely love a follow up to the og cast and the characters, whether that would be a one off film or a couple of episodes following each pairing post 5x13. As to why it hasn't happened there's lots of factors to consider - would all the cast want to be involved, having a script/story arc that would live upto and not ruin the previous legacy, Dan and Ron willing to do it etc. Many shows have rebooted or done follow ups that have failed or just not worked with the same magic.

There's no media out there that isn't a bit problematic and without flaws and you have to look at the time when it was made. It was incredibly important and groundbreaking, the point of the show was to give a voice to the queer community and give people the representation they didn't have and deserved. I've seen the interviews where they talk about how hard it was to even cast the show because no one wanted to do it or were scared to be associated. But the cast said fuck you we're doing it anyway ended up being part of such an important show which touched and educated so many people.

Whatever happens with this new show it's not gonna affect the previous two versions or erase whatever good they've done.

“Do you think there’s a murder gene?” 

“ I don't believe that genes are a predictor of violent behavior.”

“Do you agree with Dr. Corey’s theory that individuals with the MAO-O gene are predisposed to violent behavior?”

“I think it’s utter nonsense” 

CSI parallels- 5x13 and 11x15

I just watched CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 5x13 "Nesting Dolls"

[beesbutterfliesandgymchalk]

Hi! It's your SS again!! Sorry for the delay-finals week has been kicking my ass, but it's basically over now! I'm getting back to watching some CSI now that I have free time again and it just keeps getting better lol. Do you have a particular favorite episode or season? And for a more general question, how has your past week been? (I also ended up baking a ton of cookies which was a great stress reliever, although not the best for my physical health whoops)

Hi Secret Santa, I hope your finals went well and you have been enjoying a bit of a break now! My week has been pretty good, have just been catching up with a few friends before they travel to visit family for Christmas. Oh cookies, they seem like your kryptonite haha What kind did you bake? I may have attempted making a mango cheese cake that I ate far too much of last weekend hehe.Ok, so time to go down the CSI rabbit hole now :) Only thing I can probably talk more about which is gym! So because the series is so long I don’t have have one fav season or episode really but the build up and story arcs from season 4 through to 7 are awesome (and the first part of season 8 too) - it was after season 8 that a lot of the core writers left as well as a couple of key actors which really impacted the show (don’t want to give away too many spoilers!). As for my favourite episodes, they all centre around GSR (Grissom and Sara’s Relationship - also a play on the gun shot residue acronym). I love the writing of their characters and how committed the actors were to developing it’s depth properly. There are probably my ultimate favs:2x16 Primum Non Nocere 4x12 Butterflied (probably my all time favourite because of a lot of behind the scenes details and the technical/layered aspect of the writing)5x13 Nesting Dolls (epic revelations about Sara)6x21 Rashomama (Not so much obvious GSR content but love how each character retells the investigation from their perspective)Season 6 finale Way to GoSeason 7 finale Living Doll then Season 8 opener Dead DollI also LOVED the series finale because of how homage was paid to the entire series and the epic amounts of GSR :DWhat are you up to this weekend? Are you getting excited for NCAA yet? I’ve just watch a bunch of the showcase/preview meets and videos. So much excitement for this season!! Thanks again for your questions xx

Esse olhar dela pra ele, é de uma profundidade imensa. Revela o verdadeiro significado daquele dia na vida de Sara.

Sara: o que você quer de mim?

Gil: que você me deixe entrar (de um jeito profundo e íntimo) que nunca fizemos antes

Quer dizer essa garotinha passou sua vida inteira esperando por alguém que realmente a amasse o suficiente e fizesse questão de ir mais fundo, onde ela mantinha em secreto seu trauma que ela jamais permitiu que alguém acessasse antes. Alguém que se importasse o bastante para tentar entender o porquê de seu comportamento às vezes tão instável. Que a amasse apesar de saber de onde ela veio e que tipo de lar quebrado ela cresceu. Achando que nunca encontraria esse alguém, por que afinal ela não era uma pessoa fácil de amar, que talvez ela nem merecesse esse amor, que era indigna, quebrada de um jeito que não se pode concertar. Ela lutou a vida inteira contra esses sentimentos negativos, e eles sempre levaram a melhor sobre ela. Até esse momento, que parece está prestes a mudar tudo.

Ali está ele, bem na sua frente esse homem por quem ela está perdidamente apaixonada e por quem pensou que nunca teria os sentimentos correspondidos como gostaria, que jamais ficariam juntos. Pedindo a ela que o deixe entrar, conhecer seus segredos mais obscuros e sombrios, que ela nunca revelou a alguém antes.

Ela mal consegue acreditar no que está acontecendo bem diante dos seus olhos. Que ela esteja prestes a abrir completamente sua alma à única pessoa que ela confia na vida. É um momento muito íntimo emocionalmente, que ela jamais experimentou antes com ninguém.

Mesmo antes que ele possa ser compreensivo quando ela finalmente se abre, o simples ato dele em insistir que ela não o afaste, mas revele a ele seu ❤️, significa muito mais para ela que ele consegue imaginar. Que ele tenha ficado quando todos disseram que ele devia ir, porque ele realmente se importava, deu a ela a maior prova de amor que alguém já fez na vida por ela. Isso dá a ele um acesso que antes estava restrito mesmo para Gil Grissom. Eleva o nível do relacionamento deles a uma intimidade única para ambos. Eles nunca entraram nem permitiram que outra pessoa fosse tão fundo.

É especialmente significativo que apartir daí eles se tornarem oficialmente um casal era somente uma consequência natural na ordem das coisas. Quando eles quebraram a barreira emocional que os restringia nada mais seria capaz de segurá-los longe do braços um do outro.

E embora não fosse revelado abertamente até o final da season seguinte, é tão emocionante ler tudo isso nas entrelinhas. Faz a season 5 ser de longe a melhor para qualquer ♥️ GSR apaixonado. Amei seu GIF parabéns!!!
