Although I didn't mind Sara, I think it's good to get some new blood in there (assuming that one chick -- can't think of her name -- will become a regular). It's amazing that after 8 seasons, they've kept the core together for so long.
Of course, since they didn't kill her off, she'll probably be back for an appearance in the future.

I thought it was a very classy way to write out Sara. Yeah, they did leave the door open for her to return, but I hope she doesn't return until the final season of this show whenever that is.
I'm really not sure if Jessica Lucas (Ronnie) is a lock to take Jorja's spot as a regular. They haven't really developed her character enough. I would prefer to see Liz Vassey (Wendy) get out of the lab like Greg and learn the ropes.

I thought it was a very lame way for her to leave. I mean, what kind of world is this, a fantasy world. You just suddenly pick up and leave everything behind. Come on....
Where is she going? Don't you have bills to pay and a life to live??

it's TV. An actor/actress doesn't get a new contract or wants out, they can indeed just pick up and leave. Perhaps Sara will meet Gideon on her soul searching journey.

Actually, its called shitty, cliched, writing.
How about being a little more creative, the producers knew for awhile she was leaving.

I thought it was an OK departure. But they had been setting this up since the beginning. It wasn't just that she was out of sorts due to her ordeal but it looked like she was sick of the job.
They could have had her make her decision earlier in the episode or the one before and then used this one for a proper closure, but personally I was more interested in the crimes rather than her leaving. I watch CSI for that reason, not character development.

It looked like she had a pregnancy pooch all season long.

it's TV, dude.
i honestly don't think i'll miss jorja in the least. she never had a storyline that i really liked. The Grissom/Sara love stuff was brutal at best.
I love the idea of having liz vassey move to the field. and i like greg, so hopefully this brings back more screen time for him.

I can't bring myself to watch it yet. I loved Sara and well, I am not ready to say bye yet. I think the rest of this season is going to be sitting there on my DVDR for awhile. I am not ready for this yet. No thanks.

Seriously though, her character leaves in this episode and I am not happy about it so I haven't watched yet. I am not at home cutting myself over it though so don't despair. I am just... doing other things. You watch a character and a show this long, I think you are entitled to care a little about it.

Some people are invested more than others when it comes to characters on a series. After all this time, it really does make perfect sense to be.
