Thanks for the welcome, katbug!
Happilyhappy, I have to go watch that episode again, but I think I remember that! Wow, I can't believe I didn't pick up on it when I was watching, since it was a HUGE pet peeve of mine, and it always makes me want to slap some sense into H. Yeah, I was disappointed they didn't do more with H and Ryan in Nailed. Like the Eric/Ryan moments and the Alexx/Ryan were great, but they could've slipped some good H and Ryan bonding scenes. H didn't even visit him in the hospital, or they didn't show it.
inge, thanks for the welcome! I know Ryan should have opened up in Burned, but the thing is, H never gave him a reason to! H always keeps Ryan at a distant, and it must be hard for Ryan to completely trust him like Eric and Calleigh too. He was scared and in trouble, so I don't blame him for not wanting to risk telling someone. I'm beginning to wonder if H would have even helped him, or been able to.
And definitely not surprised that CSI:M is down from #1, but the writers need a bit of a blow to their ego, maybe now they can return to some more simple stuff.
