George/Nick:Texan Charm #9

While going all "CALL ME RIGHT NOW" in 'For Gedda'
Also Nick had senority over Sara and rank over Warrick, but they get solo cases first. WTF?:scream:

Sorry, this topic always gets going.

 

Yup, Warrick gets accused of murder and Grissom is there, Sara gets suspended, gets a DUI and Grissom is there. Warrick leaves a trainee to gamble, she's killed, but Grissom gives him a second change (one of many) and then proceeds to promote him anyways a few episodes later.

Yes, Nick gets a stupid riddle for his evaluation and Warrick gets a roller coaster ride.

As for Grissom supporting Warrick and Sara more because of lack of family, I don't believe that as Grissom never seemed to view them as his family. Catherine mentioned that herself. Grissom was there for Greg too and he would've had strong family support.

Grissom has always told everyone how he feels about them, good things, but not Nick. Yes its the stupid writers and they proved that point by the fact that originally all Grissom was going to say in their good-bye scene was "you did a good job" just proves how Grissom feels about Nick. I know he cared about Nick, but not like the others he favored.

At least Catherine has been there for him.

 

Sigh... Amen to all that. Geez, Grissom..

 

AMEN

As much as I like Grissom, this has always and always will be a sore point with me.

But whose having the last laugh!!! Warrick got himself killed because he was a rogue CSI, Sara burnt out and quit, so who was left standing..Nick and in the end, he was the best student Grissom ever had.

I love the irony of it.

 

Well, even in season five Nick felt that he had disappointed Grissom somehow and season six we have Daddy's Little Girl and we really see that Grissom's attitude hasn't really changed towards Nick, with the "It's over" line...either the writers will take Nick and soar with his character or we will see him phased out like Warrick...time will tell.

 

And why are also quite protective of the character because he's been mistreated by Grissom.

I don't think Grissom ever got Nick because Nick represented the complete opposite of what Grissom himself.

Grissom had no social skills, Nick had aplenty. Grissom followed evidence, Nick followed the human element. Grissom follwed the 'how' while Nick wanted to know the 'why'.

But as I wrote earlier, Warrick got himself shot, Sara burnt out and Nick is the lone man left standing. And he had the worst of it.

Nick was thrown out a window, buried live and held at gunpoint, not to mention he had criminal charges pending. And he got through all of this with no support from Grissom-no support from anyone come to think of it. Yet he got through it. And he didn't become a fall down drunk, or a gambler or a rogue CSI.

Which proves you can go through crap, with no support from anyone and still come out on top of the game!

While Grissom sat crying the blues with Sara over Warrick's death, Nick got right into the thick of it, figured out it was McKeen and nabbed him.
He proved to the strongest one of them all.

 

Thanks for all of y'all's feedback. I really appreciate. That said, I think it's a little harsh to say that Warrick 'got himself shot.' Personally, I think his overall course of action was similar to something Nick would do -- see a lead, feel strongly about it and do something about it.

Warrick knew something suspicious was going on, and he did something about it, even though none of his supervisors were telling him to do it (kinda like Nick in response to the whole 'reverse forensics' thing). I hate to say it, but it also felt like there was a bit of a parallel between the Warrick/Candy (I hope I'm getting her name right) and Nick/Kristy angles. Ultimately, when something's up, they both pursue it. Warrick just got unlucky in the process, and stumbled on something really really big. The other big difference, I thought, was that Nick tends to get other people involved (like bringing Greg, Sara and Rick in when he was questioning the 'reverse forensics'), whereas Warrick went at it alone.

 

Sorry I probably was a little harsh, but I guess I feel the same way as Smokey, I didn't like the whole storyline of Warrick being a rogue CSI and wished his send off had been better.

And I also felt resentment towards Warrick for being the 'teacher's pet' when really, it's the teacher who should be blamed for playing favourites.

Thankfully, Nick rose above it.

 

Bumping this thread up. The pic thread is always near the top and I can understand everyone wanting to drool over images of Nick/George....but this one needs a little love too. It's been days since anyone posted anything in here.

I just saw the most recent spoiler from CBS and the scenes with Nick and Langston are great. I'm really looking forward to seeing Nick move into the role of mentor.

 

Hmmm, Google's new search is kind of cool. When you bring up George Eads it also has quotes by him. Kinda cool.

In any case, I thought what he said about Petersen in this article was sweet. I've only quoted what he said.

Even though I already know, it's nice to see that student/teacher relationship was off screen too. I know they are good friends.

Oh well, just wanted to share.
