I feel as if I haven't posted in forever, but it's only been about a day. Wow. Anyways ...
I may be one of the only people who don't really think that Nigel Crane was in love (or had a on) Nicky. I just didn't see it. I personally didn't find it too strange to see the hero complex, or maybe I'm just naive. I took Grissom's words for granted. Hmmm. Still on the topic--I could see Nigel wanting to be Nick. Nick is everything Nigel isn't--handsome, confident, got a good career, nice house, *friends* ... I definitely believe that bit. I *do* think Nigel knew about Greg and Nick being friends, though. I personally am not sure if anything had developed between N or G in the second season, so it might've just been playful flirting still. *shrugs* I don't think Nigel was jealous, however. Or maybe he was jealous of the possibility that Nick's relationship with Greg could *go* somewhere, if you get my drift, but not Nigel being jealous of Nick and Greg being together.
After thinking about it, though, Nick talking in his sleep about his old prom date ... man, does that sound hard-up or what? Honestly! That must've been at least ten years ago. To me it seems a bit creepy. Even if he *had* received an email from her with pictures, why would you say her name in your sleep? Then again, I am not Nick and I can't really say anything. But still ...
The one thing I do find *extremely* odd is the fact that Greg found out about the crime-stopper article, and no one else had even read it yet. How DID Greg come to find it? Obviously at Nicky's, right? Maybe they sent it to him via snail-mail, and Nick had left it open on the counter, and one day Greg just randomly read it, snuck it home and copied it?
