We Support George Eads AKA Nick Stokes
I've only become a fan of CSI over the last year or so (what can I say I'm slow on the uptake) and one of the things I absolutely adore about the show is the wonderful chemistry between the cast.
Now don't get me wrong, I adore all the cast, but Nick Stokes seems to have a kinda special chemistry with all of the other characters - the mentor thing with Gil, the buddies thing with Warrick, the cute friendly flirtation with Catherine - it's wonderful to watch on screen, and I just think it's such a shame that he's been so underused in the new season.
I understand that trying to bring Greg in as a CSI (and incidentally I much preferred him in the lab but not the point) in the new season obviously off-balances things a little, but that's really no excuse for wildly under-using a well loved character, and a well loved and respected actor.
