Ohhhh...I love the banter in this episode. So much subtext in the opening scene.

After talking about the cycle,

Greg: "A little action?" (stares directly at Nick)
Nick: "Yeah, let's do it." (staring directly at Greg)

I think those were their exact words, though I could be wrong. But, it went something like that. Either way, I squeed! :) I'm certain they were talking about what they were doing after their shift.

I love when Nick plays nice with Hodges..."Go Team Stokes!"

This Kevin guy was very stand-offish with Nick by the pool. In my mind, he was actually jealous of Nick's relationship with Greg, wanting him all for himself. Like I said, in my mind.

Oh, and one last thing...I absolutely love Greg's knowledge of on-line gaming and all the lingo. He's so adorkable!

Everyone has been an unsub in Crimial Minds once. :) Going to watch the episode later tonight!

I only saw about two minutes of it tonight (curse you, English paper), but I had pretty good timing; caught a little bit of banter between the guys, and then the scene at the pool looking for the rogue bullet. Although I must say: TPTB, next time you have something needing to be retrieved from the bottom of a pool and a certain Texan happens to be around, do me a favor? Have said CSI just get in the pool, rather than being all lazy/buzzkill-ish and counting on some little vacuum robot to find your bullet for you. Kthanx.

Here Here!

Nick needs to get back to basics, take off that shirt and plunge into the pool to retrieve the evidence.

There is no excuse for wasting time (and a killer bod) on pool cleaning devices.

be still my nerdy gamer heart: first WoW-talk on The Big Bang Theory, and then this on CSI. (though, it looked more like FPS then mmorpg to me...)

Love the banter in the beginning, and Greg in black=drool. And "lingo" talk from Greg, heh! Too bad they weren't teamed up :(

I did not expect Kevin to die though, go Doc Robbins!

Awww! This episode was sweet (except the fact that no body was even remotely creeped out when kevin died was a bit weird). I spent ten minutes watching and rewatching the first 30 seconds just to see Sanders written in GREG'S HANDWRITING (sqeals) on the board. and then there was the cute little smile nick gave greg at the freeze tag comment (reference joke maybe? kinda like the leprechaun in the sqweegle episode). And, of course, the undisputed love moment: 'A little action?' 'Yeah let's do it'. SQEEAAALLL.

Kevin REALLY pissed me off!! But he was totally flirting with Greg in the autopsy scene. I mean, did you SEE him checking Greg out and touching Greg's arm during the whole white chick, black chick, mexican chick, asian chick (that's just gross) moment? And he was suchaaayy asshole to nick! Nick and Greg will obviously have some complaining to do when they get home. I supposed that's ONE perk of not working on the same case; they'll always have stuff to talk about at home. Unless they're too busy getting 'a little action' to talk ;) ;)

Also, Greg looked SO cute when he was like 'I guess we can all go home then'. And his leather jacket!!!! <3 But Nick takes the cake: he was lookin' mighty fine in the poolside scene, especially when he blasted Kevin =)

As for Greg's gaming skills, they equal to cuteness. But I don't think Nick will look at it that way if Greg starts ignoring him while playing!

All in all I really liked this episode. I loved the Superdave banter, and Doc Robbins was just AWESOME. Still, the end creeped me out some--EVEN if I hated Kevin. In fact, I would have liked having him around a little longer. Maybe to ruffle Nick's feathers, and make The Love all the more obvious! ;) But blah, he's annoying so... just blah. But, the most remarkable thing about this episode is that fact that I think it's COMPLETELY impossible for the CSIs to solve so many cases in one night XD I mean, did you hear? What was it? Umm... five homicides, two suicides and three accidentals? That's like TEN cases! Haaiiiii.

Great episode - all of it! Except Kevin's being such an ass. G*d, I wanted to kill him myself for being such a smug bastard. But I did like Brass this week - he was quite funny.


Being epileptic ... and an insurance geek, I thought the episode was especially good this week! I can say that they were right about a certain percentage of epileptics having seizures triggered by things like strobe lights, video games, etc., so the gamer having a seizure from the game is possible.

Although the whole life insurance thing... well, that could get detailed and boring so I won't go into that.

I wound up watching this one 3 times. Once by myself, then my daughter wanted to see it. She loves CSI and the whole science part of it, but hates the gory parts. I could see her growing up to be a lab rat every easily. *L* And then we had to watch it again with my husband. Still funny, I LOVED the ending and found myself going, "WTF? Why didn't I think of that?"

Love the Nicky/Greg banter
Always love Doc/Super Dave
Glad they killed off Kevin or I would have started a campaign for it
and still hopelessly devoted to Hodges (which means Henry annoys me to no end). ;P

Ok.I saw again this episode and it seems to me that to the beginning when hodges is speaking,and the boys are behind like in the minute 2:15, I believe that greg does gestures to nick,of fact I saw it to move the lips as a stew and nick smile and it blushes ... ok.maybe I see signs where they are not someone else see it or was just me? Forgive my English,I hope you can understand me

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Your English is fine; you made me check that scene (a couple of times even;) and you are absolutely right that there's an additional exchange between Nick and Greg. It's not just you!
