Am NOT happy about there being only 2 brief scenes with Nick and Greg together!! Shame on TPTB...LOL
Really liked the scene where Nick was teasing Hodges about his hand.

I feel we missed out on a significant look between Nick and Greg when D.B. Russell called a 'family' meeting in the girl's bedroom. Wouldn't that have made more sense than Nick raising his -perfectly plucked- eyebrow at Brody?

(Would you believe I had to google both D.B. and Brody? I couldn't remember their names;)

I do applaud the return of Nick's khaki pants \o/

User coolceruleanblu referenced to your post from Wednesday September 28, 2011 (http://csi-gazette.livejournal.com/249891.html) saying: [...] CSI: LAS VEGAS Episode Discussion - Ep 12x02 "Tell Tale Hearts" [...]

[angstytimelord.livejournal.com]

I was so annoyed at the lack of Greg/Nick in last night's ep! Our boys need to work together more! Less Whoregan, more of our boys!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I was annoyed at how the case was followed. I don't mind Morgan that much, I just wish we could have watched the guys process the scene instead of seeing her (lack of) interaction with Daddie Ecklie.

Boys were looking good though! *two thumbs up*

[angstytimelord.livejournal.com]

What REALLY pissed me off was her calling Greg "brown nose" when that snake very obviously used her connection with Daddy Dearest to squirm her way into the Vegas crime lab.

It's also pretty obvious that we have the series' new Mary Sue Extraordinaire.

But yes, the boys did look AMAZING. I'm betting Nick took Greg home & got him in the shower to wash that dirt off his face -- and that Greg wasn't alone in there! ;)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I thought her comment was out of order, and I wish someone had made a reference to Grissom's old speech about how you learn from your mistakes and it's alright to change your mind when new evidence comes up. Greg obviously didn't do it to make a good impression, he doesn't need to suck up, he was just doing his job.

Ahw, dirty Greg is an inspiration for many fantasies;)

[angstytimelord.livejournal.com]

It was WAY out of order, especially as she's the one using nepotism as a way to get her job. Greg doesn't need to make a good impression -- everyone already knows he's a great CSI. Seemed like she was just trying to put him down to try to make herself look like less of an incompetent bitch.

Somehow, I think my Greg/Nick series will have to take the boys to the shower VERY SOON!

I admit I really liked this episode. True, the boys didn't really have any moments together. But I loved Greg with smudges on his cheeks, and I thought it was adorable when Nick smirked (while Ecklie and Jim looked aghast) over the whole Cock Robin explanation!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes, Greg does do that smudgy look so well;) Nick's face was priceless.

[amyvand25.livejournal.com]

I had a bit of a giggle when Nick said that he was inside with Greg.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

;-) I was bouncing because I thought we would get to see the two of them working together. But it was not meant to be :( Still: we can IMAGINE \o/

[angstytimelord.livejournal.com]

When I first heard that, I was POSITIVE for just a moment that he said he was INSIDE GREG. *sigh* If only.

[karachilovaa14.livejournal.com]

Personally, I really loved this episode. The lack of Nick Greg was a little annoying, but I don't really mind simply because there was a lot of IMPLIED Nick and Greg;

A. Nick's little smile when he said he was inside with (coughofcough) Greg. And the fact that he specifically asked Morgan to work the perimeter. He obviously wanted Greg all to himself. (I also thought his 'enjoy yourself' was pretty cute/mean at the same time.)

B. Nick's face when Greg raised his hand was just so... Oh! Sweeeett!

C. Greg's dirty face, but the fact that in the next scene back at the lab, he looked squeeky clean. Perhaps, Nick helped him clean up in the locker room showers?

D. The look on Nick's face at the Cock Robin remark. Priceless.

E. After the John-Lee-killing-himself scene there are no more Nick and Greg scenes. In the last scene, Cath is obviously distraught about what happened. I'm assuming Greg was too. Plus, in the interrogation with Lonny Gallow's dad, they show pictures from the crime scene at Leslie Gitig's house. My theory, Greg saw how upset Catherine was, offered to work the scene cause someone had too, and kept it together until afterwards with Nicky.


Personally, I think you guys are being really mean to Morgan. I actually like her. Her weird flirting with Greg seemed a little put on though, not natural like it was with Riley or Sara. Greg, if you'll notice, has always had this I-will-flirt-with-every-girl-I-work-with attitude (Catherine, Sara, Mia, Wendy, Riley... and now Morgan). I really don't think anything will happen between them, flirting to make Nick jealous is just Greg's thing. And anyway, even if I WASN'T a die hard Nick-Greg fan, I wouldn't want Greg and Morgan to be together. She seems to young for him, but most of the girls he's been interested in have been sorta jaded/sarcastic (Case in point: Sara and Riley). Nothing like Morgan. Also, I think that the writers are trying too hard to create chemistry between Greg and Morgan: with Sara, Nick and Riley, the flirting was always just sorta ad-lib, the chemistry between the actors rather than just the characters.

But anyway, I think the flirting is kinda cute, as long as it stays just flirting, and doesn't develope into anything else. I just don't see any chemistry between them. I think that there was definitely a hell of a lot more chemistry between Greg and Riley, and of course, between Greg and Nick.

But I like Morgan, she's sweet. And I really, REALLY love Russel! Finally someone with a NORMAL life on CSI!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thank you for standing up for Morgan. I don't think I was being mean about her, I just didn't agree her calling Greg names;)

I love that you made a list of worthy moments and added your imagined follow up scenes \o/ OH, we know what goes on in the lockerroom showers;)

I was pleasantly surprised by Russel; I didn't know what to expect, but he is a worthy supervisor. I could do with a little bit less of his home-sweet-home references, but I suspect we'll find out more about his family later. I do hope TPTB don't focus too much on his personal life though; I prefer the attention to be on the cases, not so much on the background of the CSI's, they can leave that to us *grins*

I think Greg flirting with anyone is cute.
