He's just-- decent, and honest, and caring, and dedicated to his job, and such a strong person even after all the crap life has dealt him over the years. But he's not a goody-two-shoes, either. I don't understand how anybody could not like him. =)

Word. To everything you said, though I don't find Nick quite as blindingly attractive as some people do. But he's probably the one person on CSI who would be great in a relationship--and he's not. Nicky needs a girlfriend (who's not a hooker, please).

I mean, what a waste. :-)
