Classic Episode Discussion: S9Ep09

[nickngregmod.livejournal.com]

S9Ep9 19 Down...
On request we are going to extend our Icon Challenge and this means we will postpone the second part of the Season 6 poll, as to not distract you with too many projects;)

For those of you who are in the mood for a trip down memory lane, we offer a classic from season 9.
This is the episode when we hear Greg is promoted to CSI Level 3! \o/ And then the guys go on a roadtrip to celebrate. At least that's what we think;) How about you?
Here are four moments to reminisce...


---BREAKROOM---
00.
Riley is assigned a 425: "Awesome, a trashrun for the lowest man on the totem pole" and she looks at Greg - WHO'S RECENTLY BEEN PROMOTED TO CSI LEVEL 3 \o/

01.
Greg: "I promise not to abuse my power over you."

02.
Nick: (Looking at Greg;) "Watch your back, Riley."
{Obviously he knows from experience Greg is totally capable of abusing his power...}

03.
Greg: {You are so funny}

04.
Nick: "Why don't we all meet up at the coffeeshop after work? Level 3 here is gonna pay."

05.
Greg: {Seriously; too funny}
(No doubt Nick's gonna pay for that comment later;)

---ROADTRIP!---
To investigate the home of a suspect, Nick and Greg are sent on a roadtrip to Reno!

06.
Fangirl research has concluded this is an eight hour drive each way. So they had plenty of time to come up with ways to entertain each other. Imagine the hours on the road; music-battles, a lot of teasing and obviously a stop to 'stretch their legs'.

Why did we not see ANY OF THIS??

07.
All we got was them getting out of the car at the end. Fail CSI, fail! (Missing scene fic, anyone?)
For the untrained investigators among us; you can see Greg's reflection in the car;)

---BACK AT THE LAB---
08.
Greg: "You guys aren't going to believe this..."

09.
Nick: {Try me, Level 3}

10.
Greg: "Remember that apparent S&M murder from five weeks ago? Well, who ever killed Gerald Oliver was also involved in the murders of Ian Wallace and Justine Steffani; his shoeprint was at both crime scenes. And Ian had nine post-mortem stabwounds, which didn't mean much at the time, but is consistent with the DJK's MO."

11.
Greg: "I think we're dealing with a copy cat who's trying to make Ian and Justine the ninth couple."

12.
Nick: {ORLY?}

13.
Nick: "A DJK copycat, who just so happens to kill a DJK's accomplice that nobody knew existed until just now?"

14.
Greg: "I've clearly missed something."

15.
Greg: {Dammit}

---PEARL JAM---
Make your own subtexty dialogue:)

The end. :-)

We hope these scenes offer plenty of inspiration for fic, icon-designs or a comment-discussion: Smug!Greg, Teasing!Nick, ROADTRIP!, Excited!Greg, Challenging!Nick and of course those glances in that last scene. Let's talk:)

Already know of follow up fic? Link us!
Want to join the Icon Competition? Go here!. We'll set a new deadline this weekend. Be creative!

OMG the roadtrip is great i need to write the missing scene...LOL i am curious as to what others would come up with as well...

[slashxyouxup.livejournal.com]

Oh Greg and his little faces ♥
xo

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Nick and his eyebrows of disbelieve \o/

[cali-cowgirl08.livejournal.com]

I had always wondered why nobody wrote fic about the 'abuse my power' line. C'mon writers, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would wanna read this! XD

[itskinnetik.livejournal.com]

ROADTRIP! Maybe I will write that fic on my plane ride Friday.
TO VEGAS.
Sorry. I'm just excited.
XD

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Do iiiiiiiiiiiit. :-D

If the trip is eight hours each way, and they actually have to work the scene in-between, then wouldn't the lab have to comp them a room for the night?

Those last scenes look remarkably domestic when taken out of context, for some reason.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. It was not mentioned, but it sure gives us plenty to think about;)

The lighting does make it look like they are in a comfortable room. I'm pretty sure it's Catherine's office, she decorated it quite homey;)

[skidrow-seymour.livejournal.com]

I must admit I'm a little freaked out by the fact that in the seventh cap it looks like Greg's got two heads :(

[sillie]

Ahahaha, Greg's little faaaaace!! *smishes it* <3<3

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Which one? All of them????? :-D

[sillie]

I especially like his face in 3, but 5 is adorable too. :D

Greg gives Nick one of the most exhausting road trip experiences ever.

First came a battle for control of the radio. Next, Nick demands that if Greg insists on listening to that ear-splitting noise, he should put in his earphones and listen on his iPod. This doesn’t last long because Greg drums his hands on the dashboard in time to the music, sings the off-color lyrics to Marilyn Manson and bounces in the passenger seat until the entire vehicle shakes.

After Nick snatches the iPod and tosses it onto the back seat, Greg entertains himself by singing three full rounds of “Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall,” and then several rounds of “B-I-N-G-O,” “Row-Row-Row Your Boat” and a mind melting rendition of “This is the Song That Doesn’t End.”

In order to preserve his sanity, Nick pulls rank on the Level 3, declaring that no music of any kind is allowed in the vehicle for the duration of the trip.

With nothing else to do, Greg rambles on about his family, his childhood, college and his post-grad adventures.

As they begin their ride home, and somewhere in the middle of Greg’s description of his wild existence in NYC, Nick realizes three things:

1)His boyfriend, even in hyper road-trip mode, is incredibly hot.
2)There’s a decent looking motel at the edge of town.
3)And Greg’s abundance of energy, non-stop talking and animated rendition of “B-I-N-G-O” is more of a turn-on than he’d ever imagined

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Yes. \o/

In the last scene, Greg is instructing Nick to pay particular attention to the scene in the porno playing on the TV screen because he wants to know if Nick can still get in that particular position, and Nick turns to Greg and tells him that he has lost his damn mind..... LMAO, Jaxson;)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

You have such a pervy mind, Jaxson;) I bet you voted for that scene as your favorite - which I totally understand with the kind of subtext you're seeing :-p

[recordplayer69.livejournal.com]

Really and truly, the pervy doesn't come out very often. I'd like to take this oppotunity to apologize if my perviness has offended someone.....:D

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize to me, I quite like what you have in mind for Nick and Greg *grins*

[recordplayer69.livejournal.com]

A lot of it comes from what things were like for Randy and I in the early days of us..... We still surprise each other every now and then, and believe me hon, after 17 years, that's kinda hard to do.....;)

[randomslasher8.livejournal.com]

Some peoples comments are hilarious!

First off, Greg looks so smug in the first scene,and he just looks too cute for something not to happen on that road trip!
In the second scene, Greg's wide eyes are kind of funny, or is it just me?
And I thought they were somewhere else in the last scene, until someone mentioned it was Catherine's office. It totally looks like it could be a house. And both of them just look really nice there! :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

:-) I love it when an episode or post inspires people to squee all over the place;)

That last interior does look like a livingroom, very homey.
