Nick Stokes is a good CSI, I've got no doubt that realistically spoken that he'll be assigned to lead. However, is he willing to do this job. So far I experienced Nick Stokes as presented in the TV show.... I believe Nick prefer to be a specialist rather than becoming a leader. Remember Nick's feedback to his promotion as Catherine's assistant leader? He doesn't seem to be too enthousiastic about that position.... It's something like, "well, if I've got to be..." That's why I believe he won't do it... yet.

As Smokey said, he was being humble and doesn't really care about the recognition part, just doing the job. He did smile and say "thanks." There was also the fact that she dumped a bunch of paperwork on him right away, which kind of takes away from the joy of promotion. :lol:

I think Nick would make a great leader, and that he would willingly step in to take Catherine's place - any lack of enthusiasm at that point would be from seeing Catherine leave in the first place.

My vote for team leader goes to Conrad Ecklie! Demote him and bring him down to Graveshift Supervisor. Seriously! It would shake things up and we'd get to see him back on the screen on a regular basis. (I miss him!)

:guffaw: I miss Ecklie too! He's mellowed a lot over the past few years, but it would still be interesting to see how he'd do being in charge of the lab again. He'd certainly be more bureaucratic and less forgiving than the supervisors they've had so far (No more ballistics gel!). We've rarely seen Ecklie do field work, so that would be an interesting change for him (and a big step down, in his mind, I'd think).

I have to say, I've never really understood how Brass was ever in charge of CSI.. he's never seemed that interested in the science or processing, just the results. He's always seemed more "detective" than "CSI" to me.

Personally, I would love to see them bring Sofia back (quiet Speedy! Let me dream!! :lol:). She has the brains, the composure, and the experience. She was the assistant supervisor on day shift and was a former leading lady back in season 7. I could see her either take the actual supervisor position or become assistant to Nick. Both would be good.

I would love to see Sofia back as a detective. Didn't she say becoming a CSI wasn't really by choice anyway?

I think being assistant supervisor (to Nick, of course) would be a great opportunity for developing Greg, so I'd like to see him get that spot. Having Jorja stay full-time or bringing Liz back as a CSI would round out the gender equality.

IMO we need a woman to either replace Cath as supervisor or become part of the team as Nick steps up as supervisor. There's far too much testosterone in this bunch already and with Cath leaving it'll just get worse. Only Sara will remain and I'm not even certain how much a regular she is. I mean Nick, Greg, Hodges, Dave, Robbins, Ray, Brass, Ecklie... way too many guys with just an uncertain Sara.

Sofia back would be nice :).

Personally I want to see Mandy back. She was always my favourite female for being incredibly snarky, holding her own against the guys and having a like for GTA. Really, when was the last time she was featured for over a couple of seconds? :(
 
To really balance things out, they would need another female CSI. Not a cop or labrat.

You need someone out in the field and one of them.

And not Sophia, she had no chemistry with them. (IMO)

Too bad they got rid of Riley. They could have had a good 'sibling rivalry' thing going between her and Greg.

Who knows what they'll do. However, I can be fairly certain that Nick will be the supervisor.

Though who knows, there may not be a CSI next season and if there is there could be no Nick or Langston. We don't know how long their contracts were for.
 
I have no problem with TPTB bringing in someone new, as long as they don't go about it the Laurence Fishburne/Ray Langston way. My top picks would be bringing in either John Malkovich (who was wanted when Billy left) or William Fichtner (who played Alex Mahone on Prison Break). Female blood is desperately needed on CSI, so I also would be quite happy if Joan Allen or Catherine Keener.
 
I would like Sofia back but as a cop, not as a CSI replacing supervisor or supervisor assistant. For that part I would too like someone new. So if we had Sofia, new female, and uncertain Sara we'd at least have more female blood on the show. Guess I would just like Sofia back because it really irks me that she just dissapeared. But for the team I really would like someone new :).
 
The only logical choice is Nick. Anyone else -- especially Ray -- would be such a leap in plausibility that most would not accept it.

I think we are having a language barrier issue. I don't get what you mean by Nick's willingness to prove others wrong or be part of a cover-up.

What I meant to say, is Nick will be standing right behind, i.e. error is related to Greg, Nick would rule out that possibility. Langston, however, would consider this as a possibility. Not that Langston would kick the team's ass. He would provide the team the opportunity to proof him wrong. Does this make sense to you now?

No, it has to be a scientific person. The scientific element is the key element that make this show differently from CSI: Miami. People, like cops, gun shoot specialist, etc. belongs in that show. Scientific people, doctors, teachers, etc. belongs to CSI Vegas. Of course, I do agree, this has to be a field worker, not a lab rat.

I highly doubt that Nick would let an error anyone did slide, even Greg. Don't you remember how he went off on Greg in "Family Affair" when Greg was complaining about being given the job that should have gone to a lower level CSI? Nick said point blank, "If your supervisor tells you to do something, you do it; you don't complain about it".

Again, if Nick for some reason were to turn down the offer to be lead supervisor, they should bring in someone new, a female to be lead supervisor (someone with a background being a CSI supervisor) and keep Nick as assistant supervisor.

No, it doesn't. Remember Brass was originally the graveshift supervisor. He's definitely not "scientific". Every single CSI is scientific though. They have to be because their field is called FORENSIC SCIENCE. Nick also has been to entomology classes and is now nearly as good a bug expert as Grissom was. So if Grissom is good enough for supervisor, then so is Nick.

I do kind of like the idea of Ecklie going back to being supervisor, only for the graveshift (if Nick turned down the supervisor role I mean). I think he has gotten nicer since Nick's abduction and gets along with everyone much better now.

I forgot about Ecklie...he would be a great choice. He's done it before and everyone generally respects him. Respect is very important to have in a leader after all.

Sofia had chemistry with the other characters. It's just that her chemistry was slightly detached from the family feeling that was already established with the other characters at that point. Sofia was an outsider and by the time she left the lab to be a detective it was too late to show her becoming part of the CSI family.

If Sofia became supervisor I would certainly be shocked. In order to bring her back the writers would have to explain where she disappeared to and since their has been some...reluctance to do that on the part of the writers, I don't think Sofia has much of a chance of coming back as a supervisor.

Actually the list as was posted on here were "John Malkovich, Kurt Russell & Laurence Fishburne, and according to Carol Mendelsohn, LF "topped their dream list" Her and Naren Shankar [when he was still on the writers staff], said "He's a powerful & intense actor, with an incredible range"~Indeed he is incredible:bolian:
