Argh, I wish they had ended Manos early. That movie was evil. I'm sure there's something in the Geneva Convention about making people watch it. But the one I was thinking of was actually The Wild World of Batwoman. That one's more goofy (and slow) than evil.
I actually hadn't noticed very often. I always thought Gil was more of the awkward/loner type.
That's part of the reason I'm not in favor of a Gil/Sara romance (though hardly the only one)- they're too much alike. And this is all just my opinion, natch. Sara is often a bit too abrupt, a bit too intense- she can do the social thing (with mixed success, like with Hank), but it doesn't seem to come naturally. But give her a nice forensic puzzle to focus on and she's perfectly comfortable. Gil's a lot like that, although he has an absent-minded professor thing going on that sometimes helps him seem a bit less harsh than Sara. But that same disregard for/discomfort with social niceties is there- neither of them is very good at friendly chatting or asking personal questions without making them seem like interrogations, and often neither seems to bother with that sort of thing (whether through discomfort or it just not occurring to them, I don't know). They stay in "job headspace" a lot more often than the rest of the team. I think that's part of why Sara's attracted to Gil, like drawing to like and all that. Or so my theory goes. *g*
