nickngregI was checking out TWP and came across this. Funny Greg and Nick descriptions.
Nick
Question:
Who is Nick Stokes?
Answer:
The writers' bitch, that's who. Need someone to get a gun pointed at his head? That's your man. Need someone to have an ill-advised fling with a hooker that ends up dead? Hey, Nicky-boy! Want someone to get stalked? Ohhhh, Niiiiicky…
And of course, if ever anyone needs to be buried alive and eaten by fire ants -- with the whole thing available at www.yet-another-may-sweeps-stunt.com -- there's your man.
What we'd like is an entire episode where Nicky gets to sit at home -- without a stalker breaking in -- and watch Discovery Channel. And maybe crack open a beer.
When he's not busy being the victim, Nicky gets to be everyone else's foil. If a scene calls for someone to gape like a rube or make a shocked comment, in pops Nicky. If a scene calls for a tertiary character to pound home just how counterculture they are, there's Nicky, patiently waiting for a total stranger to insult him.
In Season 3, Nicky's big character arc pretty much consisted of "When am I gonna work alone, Gil? When am I gonna work alone, Gil? When am I gonna work alone, Gil? When am I gonna work alone, Gil? When am I gonna work alone, Gil?" Nicky eventually worked alone. In Season 4, the odds that he'd embark on a Day of Rage fell to practically nil, and he busted out his intelligent alter-ego Smart Nicky, or Snicky. In Season 5, Nicky really regretting pushing to work alone. (See also: Buried in a coffin for May sweeps.) Who knows whether he'll still be the same sweet-natured doob in Season 6, or if five solid seasons of really bad days at work have finally caught up with him.
Nick Stokes is played by George Eads, who appears to be an extremely good sport, all things considered.
Greg
Question:
Who is Liam the Lab Tech? Or Liam the Larval CSI?
Answer:
Back when this show started, it was possible to go an episode or four without learning anyone's name, as the closed captioning would helpfully label the unidentified speaker as "Cop" or "Lab Tech." Since generic labels make for poor reading -- especially if an episode has multiple cops or lab techs -- and since Television Without Pity has a fine tradition of nicknaming characters, it only took one look at an unnamed lab tech with Liam Gallagher-like hair to lead to the inevitable.
Liam the Lab Tech is also known as Greg Sanders, but Liam he was christened and Liam he shall remain.
Can't you just call him Greg?
No. I'm pretty stingy with the nicknames around here, and I don't think it will kill anyone to remember that Liam = Greg. Lord knows you people seem fond enough of the nickname.
But he doesn't look like Liam Gallagher anymore!
So? He once did.
Anyway, back to Liam…
He had an active love life in Season 1, but that appeared to have atrophied as his interest in Sara grew, and in Season 3, Liam gave up on live women entirely and began speaking to magazine covers. By Season 5, Liam's passion for Sara had flared up again, and this time, it looks as though it'll be reciprocated.
If someone needs a useful tidbit about a facet of culture with which they might not be otherwise be acquainted (scuba divers, junkies, hockey players, Scandinavian proverbs), Liam's the go-to guy.
In Season 3, we learned that Liam is feeling fenced in by the PCR machines and wants desperately to get into the field. His fellow lab rats appear to also want him in the field. Liam also got blown sky-high in a little accident we like to call "sweeps." By Season 5, he was a full-on CSI, and will likely play the newbie until Season 9 or so, when a new crop of actors comes in and Liam gets kicked into a more senior role.
Liam the Erstwhile Lab Tech is played by Eric Szmanda.
