the man who has a lot of influence as a higher member of a cult that has been accused of human trafficking and sexual abuses; whose third wife had to plan her divorce from him by practically staging an escape; who keeps being compared to a woman for some misogynistic reason... fuck that

coming back to this; redford died on september 16th which isn't that sara's birthday? kinda makes the whole headcanon even more personal for them now if so lmao

that lil connection is so special to me :'))) (and i like to think to sara, too. in my mind, she jokes that her two fave leading men were born a day - and twenty years - apart, in the same place)

sdfjsdf if anybody were to disappear in the mountains it'd be grissom (glad he didn't do and glad he's living w sara now lol)

i haven't seen the natural or jeremiah johnson yet (i have this dumb rule of never finishing my faves' filmographies, so i have a few blind spots), but i can totally see grissom luv them (especially the natural. probs made sara watch it w him and she reminded him of the beauty remark)

(will def @ you when i will get there. btw, i wanna say, i finally read this fic and i luved the meta nature of naming characters after the actors/writers re: the whole lh thing sdflsdjfk archiveofourown.org/works/47183602)

idk anything about laurence or ted's characters (other than i think we like ted's character? i do LUV ted so i'm excited to get to his ep). and ya know, i read an interview, i think w zuiker, where he said (iirc) that the show focused more on the characters starting w s10? which feels fake but sure!

(i luv having opinions on seasons i haven't even watched dsjfldksfj better to be opinionated than passive and accept anything tho)

and honestly! they could have that done re: grissom. or they could have said 'oh, he visited last week' or, since i know sara isn't in every ep after she returns, the writers could have said 'oh, they're together' whenever she'd skip an ep. it was very doable!

honestly, i trust william (and jorja tbh) more than i trust trust anybody re: this show. whatever they believed re: grissom x sara (both on their own as characters and the ship) was, most times, right on the money.

(for real now, i think grissom would luv everything redford did in the 1970s and maybe considered all the president’s men or three days of the condor his fave redford for years until he watched all is lost)
