I’m sure I’m venturing in hear at my own risk because there’s going to be a lot of Sofia hating going on.
I have to say I absolutely can’t stand Nick and his big stupid head; I just wanna punch him every time I see him (how’s that for critical discussion)
Ok, a lot of this has to do with the fact that I haven’t gotten over Grissom recommending Nick for the promotion over Sara (was the episode Bloodlines, or just before it?). I’m not sure if this reinforces my hatred of Grissom or of Nick or both but we all know Nick’s the least skilled CSI, well next to Greg, but Greg’s still in training so he doesn’t count, but seriously why the heck did Beardo The Weirdo recommended Nick over Sara when we know that she is a better CSI then him. Lets examine the facts:
1. He and Sara were the same rank when she showed up, actually he was higher then her cause had been at the Vegas CSI longer, and Sara got to work murders solo right from the start, how long did it take before Nick was allowed to.
2. Grissom even said outright that Nick wasn’t ready in the first season.
3. Sara also got a higher performance evaluation then Nick.
4. We can assume she probably didn’t fail her firearms evaluation like he did, and then go traipsing of out into the field when he wasn’t allowed.
5. He went of his rocker and punched a civilian (but that was later on)
6. He walked right in on an interrogation at a crucial moment (and got blasted by Grissom for it.
)
7. He got evidence throne out of court because he marked it wrong (that’s just careless)
God I’m sick of those Nick lovin fics where people actually act like he’s better then her. O.K. I’m ranting now, I just haven’t gotten over it yet. Are we supposed to believe that “because he didn’t want it” is a good reason? Sara was right, that was a stupid reason, what kind of boss recommends someone for being unambitious and careless when there’s a much better choice. Sometimes I do like Grissom, when he’s being quirky in that creepy sort of way but mostly he annoys me, especially where Sara is concerned.
On another note, I do like Eckley, mostly for his Grissom hate.
