So what if this is Nick centered episode, ever character gets there at some point.
There has NOT been a episode centered around Nick since Season 6, episode 5 "Gum Drops" and that wasn't even suppose to be him. It was suppose to be a GSR episode, so that would've made "Grave Danger" one and that was more centered around the team finding him.
And if you remember, there is one thing that will always get to Nick and that is kids and that is why he is probably the center of this story. Kids are his achilles heel.
I don't think this episode is going to much centered around Taylor Swift as some think it is. What I've heard is that 15 minutes is dedicated to a season about crimes that happen at the hotel, not to her character. So maybe is just someone Nick sorta befriends, which a lot of people in law enforcement do.
I pretty much agree with all of this. I have no problem with this case being "personal" for Nick. All the major cast members have had their "Very Special Episode" at one time or another. And lets not forget that Nick has always had a reputation for empathising with the victim. It's who he is and it's nice to see that tptb actually remembered that. (Yay for continuity :thumbsup
As for the Taylor Swift angle, that doesn't bother me. No, she may not be the best actress in the world but I'm willing to cut her a little slack. I don't see her as a wanna be starlet who's only using this role as some sort of stepping stone. From everything I've heard, she's a genuine fan and has been for years. And if she brings in a bunch of new viewers who have never really watched CSI, maybe some of them will become converts and stick around. That's how I got sucked in back in Season 4.....And the rest, as they say, is history.
