Often only Nick or Warrick are talked about, a little swooning over Greg, and gossiping about Hodges. Grissom is often only found on page two, but he is one of the most interesting characters on the show precisely because of who he is. Highly intelligent, introverted, and reserved. But also always highly concentrated and focused on the work. (Right now, the episode “Butterflied” S4E12 is running, and that just made me realize again)
So it’s not surprising that he maintains closer relationships with the most interesting women on the show. And because it’s Grissom, I don’t mean that in a sexual or physical sense, but on a deeper, much more exciting level (which of course doesn’t exclude sex). But who do I mean? Terry and Lady Heather! Both fascinating characters with incredible depth, and it’s understandable that Grissom is interested in both. But unfortunately, Grissom is Grissom, and that’s why both relationships are doomed to fail. Very sad!! Nevertheless, the episodes in which they appear and interact with Grissom are always interesting and exciting to watch.
And just a little side note, you should listen very carefully to Lady Heather regarding interpersonal relationships and BDSM (dominatrix/sub relationship). She reveals a lot here, which is often misunderstood and also misrepresented by various media. This can lead to very unpleasant situations!!
In the third season, it already becomes a bit clear, but in the fourth season, you can be sure that this series, as mature as it already was at the beginning, is now fully grown. Why do I mention this? Well, precisely because we’re only in the fourth season, and when a series has reached such a status, it often doesn’t live on for too long or is kept alive far beyond its peak. That’s not the case with CSI, and I include CSI: Miami and CSI: New York in that. All three series manage to keep themselves alive in an interesting way without declining too much. Of course, there are always small rough patches, and that’s not only forgivable but completely normal. But you always manage to give it new impetus through slight restructuring, new characters, bringing back old characters, and also changes in the setting.
This is wonderfully shown in the successor to CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: Vegas. There are now two seasons, and a third has already been ordered. You start anew, but you’re still in Vegas. Much feels different, but because we have familiar faces and they practically accompany us, it’s easier to get used to the new. You can’t look away, and the first season is over before you know it, and you really like it. Because you were slowly introduced to the new without it being bothersome or boring. Truly a very good example of such a kind of follow-up series.
