Top 5 Thursday: CSI Episodes Centering Nick Stokes

As you all know, my favorite TV shows is "CSI" and my favorite character from that show is Nick Stokes. So I decided to create a list with the best CSI episode centering Nick. Here they are.

5. Stalker (Season 2)
The team is working on a stalker-case. Then they find out that the suspect is also following Nick. We get a glimpse of Nick’s personal life. The scene where the stalker confronts him is very strong and was definitely the highlight of the episode.

4. Targets of Obsession (Season 11)
The second episode with guest star Justin Bieber and slightly better then the first. Jason McCann returns and he's making it personal. I liked the scene where Nick, Catherine, Vartann and Skip the bomb-guy went into that building, which was filled with boobytraps. And Nick shooting Justin Bieber, almost a classic CSI scene.

3. Turn, Turn, Turn (Season 9)
This episode was even my favorite of the season. We see three different cases in a motel, that happened all in one year. Haley (guest star Taylor Swift) is the constant factor in all stories. She even ends up dead herself. It's a sad story, but a very strong one. Wonderfull episode and the end scene with Nick and Ray is beautiful.

2. Gum Drops (Season 6)
You see Nick as the leader of an important case involving a family and one missing child. What I liked most is that this case was investigated by Nick, Warrick, Greg and Sara. Nick is a great leader and for the Stokes fans it's a wonderfull episode.

1. Grave Danger (Season 5)
I think this is the most popular episode ever and I can understand why. As a Nick fan I really enjoy the emotional scenes he did and the race against time is nerve wrecking. It's a two hour episode directed by Quentin Tarentino and it's the most exciting episode I've ever seen.

They almost made the top 5: Boom (Season 1) and Shock Waves (Season 11)

Emma, Rachel, Owen, James and George

I made five new wallpapers featuring some of my favorite people. I'm feeling super inspired lately so you can expect more wallpapers from me. The first two are of Emma Stone. I just love her, she is so talented and I'm going to see "The Help" soon. It opens in theaters this thursday here in The Netherlands.

Next is James Franco. This wallpaper is actually on my desktop right now. For the holidays. And by the way, I asked Santa to bring me James but it didn't happen.... Well I still got a lot of pictures and movies.

Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams where already a great couple in "Wedding Crashers" and I really want to see them in "Midnight in Paris". I haven't seen it yet, but I hope I will soon.

And last, George Eads. Or actually his "CSI" character Nick Stokes. It's a picture from the episode "Targets of Obsession" from season 11, where he shot Justin Bieber (which was awesome).

Top 5 Thursday: "CSI" Characters

My all-time favorite TV show. My top 5 changed a couple of times already, because of new characters. But the top three has been practically the same ever since I started watching the show. Here are my five favorite characters from "CSI".

5. Morgan Brody
She appeared as a guest star in the episode “Cello and Goodbye” in season 11. I liked her right away, so I was very excited to hear she would become a series regular. Morgan is a young woman with a fresh view on things and I already see some kind of attraction between her and Greg, but I think she might like Nick more.

4. Warrick Brown
Warrick was without a doubt the coolest CSI. His death really shocked me and that was the first time a CSI episode made me cry. I always loved his friendship with Nick and his flirtatious behaviour towards Catherine.

3. Greg Sanders
When he was just a lab guy he was the funny one everyone messed with. Since season 5 he became more serious and he turned into a great CSI. Greg went through the most change of all the characters and his character also got more depth through the years.

2. Catherine Willows
Catherine is a wonderful person. She is a great leader, a strong woman and very helpful to her friends and co-workers. I really love the storylines she’s in, especially in “Built to Kill” her role is really intense.

1. Nick Stokes
I don’t only like him for his good looks. Nick is smart, good with people, kind and a real teamplayer. I liked him “Stalker”, “Grave Danger” and “Gum Drops”. I've always found him the most interesting and the one with the best storylines. I just hope he finds a nice woman, Morgan for instance...

They almost made the top 5: Sofia Curtis, Wendy Simms, Archie Johnson, Mandy Webster and Ray Langston

Looking past the shadows in my mind

I made a new wallpaper for my computer. This time it features Nick Stokes, my favorite character from my favorite show "CSI". The text I used is a line from the song "Breathing" by Lifehouse. Here it is:

Turn, Turn, Turn

I just saw the "CSI" episode "Turn, Turn, Turn". It's a Nick centered episode and it's totally my favourite of this season. It's shot perfectly and it shows a lot of emotions. It's about a 16 year old girl, Haley, found death outside a motel where she lived. Then we go back a year and we witness some other cases that took place at that same motel. Haley is the constant factor in all those cases. We see how she changes and how Nick deals with her. When she is found dead, we see Nick struggle with it. Haley is played by singer Taylor Swift, great performance. Wonderfull episode and George Eads was great, especially in the end scene.
