"Death And The Maiden" Discussion *SPOILERS*

Nick told Cath a long time ago in the episode called "Overload" that he was assaulted/molested by a last minute babysitter when he was nine years old.

Happyharper, I agree with you about the angle used for Nick meeting this girl... but he didn't even mention once in the episode about what happened to him when he was nine. That bothered me. I think they should have had him mention it to Tommy. Not in detail, but just that he knows how he feels cause it happened to him too.

I just don't like this girl for Nick at all. For one thing there was absolutely no chemistry. There should have been sexual tension in the scene where they were arguing when he first met her and it just wasn't there.

 

Oh and I loved the little compliment Greg gave Wendy about how thorough she is with DNA processing and how there couldn't be a contamination because she is so thorough. And her grateful smile when he said that was cute.

 

Yeah the "pulling a Sanders" thing was funny. But I agree... Ecklie is seemingly back to being a meanie again? I thought he got nicer after Nick's box ordeal.

 

Not a bad episode. Again the season seems to be shaping up to be a good one.

It was great to see Vartann back in action. I never fully realized how much I had missed him until tonight. So now I'm hoping to see a few more guest appearances before seasons end.

Doc and Ray in the morgue and the clapping? I busted cause I really didn't expect to see something like that from Doc...yet on the other hand, it was oddly accepted without question. The reaction from Langston the first two times made it more amusing. But then, that's just me.

Hodges' little comment to Wendy about wanting her to be happy, made me smile. Maybe there is a little hope for him after all...:lol: And his and Greg's little scene together was long overdue. I love those two when they have a scene like that. I missed their dueling snark.

As did I. I thought it was very considerate of him. Way to go Greg.

 

I was thinking that too... that it had to do with the actress. Not that she was a bad actress... its just not everyone can have instant chemistry with whomever they want. It's either there or its not. And it wasn't in this case.

 

I really enjoyed this episode. It was very serious at times with the topics it was dealing with, but yet they were able to get humor into it in appropriate places.

I loved Greg talking to himself at the shop and then his scene with Hodges later on. So glad to see him having a couple humorous scenes again. That is the Greg I know and love. I loved how he called Hodges a loser in pig latin. :lol:

I love how it is now a full fledged term "pulling a Sanders". It was sweet of him to compliment Wendy like he did. I have a feeling that maybe his promotion has to do with training Wendy to be a CSI. Just a thought.

I was wondering too if Nick was going to bring up his past experience with Tommy, but I think he did not because it was not exactly the same thing. I felt sorry for Jess at the end, him walking away from her. It was a sad ending.

Oh and I loved the Clapper in the morgue. That scene was funny too. :lol:

Nice seeing Ray work with Greg instead of Nick for a change. Also nice that in the last layout room scene, it was our 3 original CSI's only there.
