I’ve started a new blog at blogspot, dealing specifically with worship matters. It’s something that’s quite dear to my heart, and I felt that it would deserve a site of its own rather than being thrown in with everything else in here.

if you’re interested, do drop by at Worship Thinks

note, the website URL says worshipthinks, not worshipmatters. this is because someone else already took that URL!

CSI talk: Sara Sidle leaving November 6, 2007

so it’s been confirmed that Jorja Fox is leaving the CSI: Las Vegas show (she plays Sara Sidle) for real this time. While it’s sad to see characters, especially main characters go, hopefully this time it will be a peaceful exit rather than the way Tim Speedle left Miami (shot in a shootout when his gun jammed), or Aiden Burns left NY (fired, then killed by a murderer and burned up in a burning car). Most comments seem to hint at possible returns to the show for cameos and stuff, so it’s probable that her character will survive.

what I don’t get is some of the reactions that I’ve seen from fans of the show. Many are saying “oh, Sara is gone, I’m not gonna watch the show anymore”. Like, CSI is not a personality show, especially not the Las Vegas one (although, CSI:Miami is really practically the Horatio Caine show) so when one person leaves, you just really have to replace that person with someone new for the team. It’s that simple. It works in real life, in our jobs, I don’t see how this should really end the show or something. Also, Jorja Fox herself came out and said that she wanted to pursue her own projects and there was no contract issue involved, so really, folks, CSI:LV will still be a great show, it will survive, it will evolve and adapt and who knows? It may get even better when she’s gone.

That having been said, I never was a great fan of Sara Sidle anyway… too much angst. I deal with enough of that in my workplace.
