William L. Petersen, the dumpy heartthrob of CSI: "Like a forensic investigation exhuming a body, a simple Web search unearths a seething niche subculture of CSI: 'fanfic,' the often sexually explicit fiction written by fans that imagines TV characters living their lives in the interstitial moments between shows. Some of the literature spawned by CSI is 'slash,' or gay-themed, some is straight, but an inordinate amount of it focuses on the off-screen cavortings of Gil Grissom, the lead investigator played by William Petersen. For those of you who haven't watched the show, Gil is hardly the most obvious object of erotic longing; he's a gray-haired, slightly dumpy, middle-aged workaholic who probably smells faintly of formaldehyde, and whose social skills are inversely proportional to his forensic acumen. Whence the mystique? Why are so many people in love with Gil Grissom?"
What do you think? I can see the attraction, a little bit, but for me, it's Warrick all the way.
