Well, as for the description of the new lab tech 'smokin' hot' is probably in reference to the fact that she is an
explosives expert.
Explosion? Smokin'? Get it?
However, I'm so sick of a young girl being paired with someone who is old enough to be her father.
Now I'm not wholly convinced that she is going to be Nick's love interest as he said himself that he wouldn't date someone he worked with.
So I hope that George would put a kabash on that. I'm hoping that it will just be a mentor/student thing, kind of like how Grissom was with Nick.
Now that I've said all that, I'm pretty much convinced that George isn't coming back.
I mean let's look at it, shall we?
They have started filming already or possibly next week if they hope to get the season opener done on time. Now I know they don't always shoot the episodes in order so there are three possible scenerios:
1. That George is still in negotiations and not being sure whether he is coming back or not, he WON'T be in the first few episodes. Because no matter what, the scripts for the first few episodes have been written. Yeah, they can rewrite them, but with all this concern for money, would they go through the expense of rewrites and reshoots because his contract is renewed?
2. He has signed up and they're playing the dumb act and not letting anyone know so everyone will tune in for the first episode.
and
3. He didn't renew or tptb opted not to renew and they're not saying anything because of the uproar it could cause. Then the season opener will make no mention of him or just something in fleeting and then us Nick fans will not get the closure episode that we so rightly deserve.
Ugh.
