*crickets chirp*

So . . . I didn't miss anything particularly exciting last night?

[not_so_logical]

Not really. =/

Heh. Exactly what I was thinking when there were no comments afterwards.

Now that I've seen the episode I decided to stop worrying when all is quiet.

It was quite a basic episode with just a dash of Nick/Greg, who both looked nice, but didn't really flirt; they are so in an established relationship and get too good at behaving professionally. *pouts* (Although I think I spotted eyeliner on Greg, who is still aging backwards)

Greg looked so young o_o
he has the secret of the eternal youth xD

I thought more was going to happen to greg this year

Not exactly a Nick and Greg *squee* worthy episode.

We saw a little Greg (very little) and a bit more of Nick. Other than one short scene together, and their standing/sitting near each other for brief moments at the lab, that was it.

They have got to stop trying to make CSI into the Dr. Langston show if they are going to keep people interested.

Is it just my imagination, or is Greg actually getting less screen time as the season progresses?

I was a bit disappointed in Nick’s lack of emotion in dealing with the dead child. I miss the days, before he became a tough CSI supervisor, when he would get all emotional over the death of a child.

[lawlietcomplex.livejournal.com]

I agree with you :/
man, nick didn't ever sobbed or anything, and we all know that emotion is what nick is made of.
also, greg barely spoke in the episode; it's like when he was a new CSI and none seemed to notice that he was there.

[rustie73.livejournal.com]

It really is a shame.

Nick and Greg work so well together. Their conversations are always my favorite scenes.

The way things are now, they might as well send Greg back to the lab to make coffee and sit alone sorting through bags of trash the rest of the team has collected.

I'm probably pretty alone with this opinion, but I have to say it's completely normal to me that Nick didn't get emotional in this episode. Even though it's always more sad when a child dies, that kid's death was an accident, nobody didn't kill him or mistreated him otherwise. So even though Nick (or any the other CSIs for that matter)is sad about it,I think he realizes this is just one of those cases when there's nothing anyone could have done to prevent it. And there's no use to start thinking all the what if's.
I know that might sound a bit cold, but that's just the way I see it.

On the more lighter note, when Nick and Greg were standing besides the evidence table, did you notice their arms brushed against each other? They were well inside the others personal space, but neither didn't seem to mind at all. ;)

[rustie73.livejournal.com]

I don’t think you sound cold at all.

And it’s not as though Nick didn’t show any emotion at all. After he finished processing the boy, Nick did gently place his hand on the child’s head in a moving, yet brief, emotional gesture. It shows that he’s matured as a person.

I suppose that I miss the old Nick. While he was examining the boy for trace and whatever, they didn’t yet know how the boy died. All they knew was that the boy died from a blow to the head and his body was dumped. That alone would have brought tears to the old Nick’s eyes (and there are few things better than seeing Nicky cry).

And yes! I did notice the closeness of Nick and Greg at the table. At one point, it almost looked as though they were touching hands when Greg was leaning on the table’s edge.

It seems as though, in both the sitting and standing scenes, they were totally comfortable being together and that neither of them was aware that Greg kept leaning closer.

[lawlietcomplex.livejournal.com]

I noticed the closeness too! their body language is so telling, I thought that Greg had his hand at Nick's when they were at the table, and they always stand next to each other close enough to brush their shoulders or hands accidentally.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I must have missed the touching, but I thought I saw Nick glancing at Greg's ass! Will study their scenes together more closely and get screencaps as evidence. *grins*

I liked seeing them together, even if there weren't any sparkling conversations.

[happy-harper13.livejournal.com]

Another ass check?! Has the rewatch yielded anything definite on this? *Fingers crossed*

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately I couldn't get a definite still of the ass check, but there was blinking and clearly a wandering of the brain (and possibly hands!;)
I posted some caps in my journal (http://beelikej.livejournal.com/283127.html)

(Have I already told you how much I love that icon of yours? Such typical facial expressions, I can't stop grinning)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I think Greg himself is also trying to be(come) invisible: he seems to be shrinking!

It wasn't really the Langston show though, was it? It was just a regular case with everybody working. Even Catharine showed an interest.

I thought Nick handled the case fine; in the past there have been crying moments when they weren't required (after TPTB figured out he cries so pretty) but here he showed an understandable restraint on the job with the perfect touch of feelings when he was on his own (stroking the dead kid's hair, smiling when looking at the videos). And you bet he let go in private.
He used to wear his emotions (especially anger) on his sleeve, I like that he has clearly matured on the job (some may say he got colder, but I think it's out of selfpreservation)
