Sara Sidle is a strong, intelligent, complex, and beautiful character. She is far more interesting than Catherine not to mention morally superior. Sara helps give CSI its humanity.I have always supported the Grissom/Sara relationship ever since Sara was written in as Gil's love interest. If we viewers can be loyal to our characters then why can’t CBS and the writers/producers of CSI be the same?Without Sara, I doubt that I will watch Season 8. It’s too bad, but I hate being jerked around by The Powers That Be like this!
