I loved it! I'm so glad we finally got a Nickisode!
Great acting by George Eads, of course. I liked the birthday cake at the beginning. Even though the address was somewhere he's been to many times, you can tell he just wanted to get out of there. Doesn't like to be center of attention.
The phone call from Grissom was surprising, as I'm shocked he would even take the time to wish Nick a Happy Birthday.
I loved Ray at the ending, he handled it better than Grissom would have. Grissom would have told Nick to basically, let it go! It's over, so let it go!
I'm not surprised that Nick blamed himself for Hayley's death, but Ray was right. That was set in motion long before she was born.
I really liked how Nick is setting up a college fund for Warrick's son. That was a really nice touch.
Super Dave getting hit with the rotting body fluids. :guffaw: I love Super Dave, he's my favorite lab rat.
I, actually, liked Riley in this episode and that's saying a lot. Her stuttering to say Crime Lab, with the naked guy in front her, too funny :guffaw:
I thought Taylor Swift did a good job. The cases were interesting and how they tied into together.
I agree with everyone that ever since Grissom left, I feel we've been seeing the old CSI. I think this is one of the best season they've had.
Basically, I loved everything about the episode, but I could be biased. :lol: and know that I'll get another Nickisode again.
