Canon similarities between House/Cameron and Grissom/Sara

[naika7]

 I am now finished with CSI season 4 and I can't help seeing the obvious similarities between canon developments for these two pairings. The timeline fits well, seasons 1-4.

This is about canon events, speculations about characters, motivation and the writing is a topic for a different, longer discussion. I am aware of what happens in CSI season 6-8

You are very right about the chemistry. House/Cam (HL/JMo) had it from the start. For Sara/Grissom it came in much later and the sexual tension was present in fewer scenes, but the way their romance was written was very similar to House/Cam. It was played differently- yes, but it seems written similarly.

I love how you said "subtle-but-intense"...it's so true. Cam and House move so much faster ), lately though- the season 4 scenes are much more Grissom/Sara friendship like.

"but judging from comments DS and KJ have made, it sounds like no one really knows what they're doing."

what if they don't know what they are doing in the Short run? but what if in terms of the general Long term storyline, they already know who they wanted to pair House up from the start? or they knew from the start for example that they want him to end up alone? I think that since House is THE main character, they might have planned his final destiny from the start. And since Change is such a big aspect of House's characterization, I wonder if they planned the "will he or won't he change?" aspect. And if they did- a romantic connection would definitely be a major way he could change just a little bit you know?

"Change" has always been emphasized in House/Cam. Cam changing to be tougher and House either becoming more humane or staying who he is. With Cuddy for example it's all about the "past" and who he has been while with Cam it's about who he can become.

You are right..House is much more character based than CSI!

this is what came up when my sister and i were discussing H/C. we believe that DS has already had in his mind who he wanted House to be with. and all of these will lead to that...
glad to see someone else agree with us :)))

That's definitely a good point - one that I hadn't considered!
