So stoked to see Nick on Criminal Minds! EEEK! What a crush.
November 22nd, 2007 at 3:15 am
the episode was excellent. I adored the “geek love” aspect. Very cool.
Glad to know you’ll be coming back for more episodes.
November 22nd, 2007 at 3:22 am
So I just wanted to say I loved the geek chic look that Nick was sporting. I can’t wait to see some more of Kevin & Penelope love, it was very sweet. I think my fav part was when “Kevin” said he loved this girl etc when he first went through her computer, very cool.
So can’t wait for more…good job Nick, great to see you on tv again

Kevin Lynch was so hot XD Omg, I kept saying, “I know him…I know I’ve seen him!” Went to look it up…Xander ^_^ BUFFY! Haha, I love love love the new look, very very cute =) I can’t wait to see what happens with Kevin and Garcia…I was squealing so badly at the end, it was so cute! <333

I’ve never seen Criminal Minds, but I watched it just for Nick – and it was hawesome
It was wonderful to see Nick on telly again and I am so lovin’ the geek chic. Great job!

I really loved this episode of Criminal Minds. It’s not a show I normally watch but since Nick was going to be on it I wasn’t about to miss it and I really enjoyed it. I thought Kevin was very sweet and I enjoyed the computer competition and the love crush going on between Kevin and Penelope. I hope they will bring Kevin back as a more regular character. I’d really like to see more develop between those two. Very cute. Great job Nick! (:

Nick did a wonderful job on Criminal Minds tonight – I really enjoyed it. I’m going to have to send a letter to CBS, letting them know that as long as Kevin is on the show, it has a new fan. Sexiest computer geek EVER!

Like Melody, it took me several takes to figure out why I KNEW that geek’s face! As a girl geek whose coworkers nicknamed me “Garcia” (though that is not my name, regardless of what I put here;) I was appaled to see “my” character in such danger, and thrilled that your character came to her rescue with technology! Go Go Geek Love! I hope you keep on coming back in Criminal Minds – I dearly love that show and I have always enjoyed your work in the past. I would love to see you spend a little more time around the BAU
Congrats on a great gig any way it goes, and it was nice seeing your face again

Did you notice the other Buffy Alumn on tonight’s ep?
Bailey Chase aka Graham of The Initiative.
*g*
Both did an excellent job, and I look forward to more Nicky if and when the writer’s strike ends.

Nick, it was awesome seeing you on Criminal Minds tonight. I had no idea you were going to be on it. My wife and I watch it every week. Tonight I was eating dinner when it started, my wife was looking away from the screen, and my mouth was full. Suddenly I saw your name and did a double take and started going “mmmeehhhhh … hoookk … hook … hick grengon” cause my mouth was full
Rough translation was “heyyyyy … loookk … look … Nick Brendon.”
Anyway, really happy to see you on TV again. My wife and I still lament the loss of Buffy and Angel … though I’ve been getting the Buffy season 8 comics and I’m going to pick up the first issue of Angel Season 6 in comics early next week.
Take care,
Ryan

My DH would never, normally watch this show, but, tonight he got roped into it because I was taking a break from all of the cooking I’m doing for our Thanksgiving, just to watch CM– not only did he like the show, but he was the one who “noticed” Nick first (wink, wink), and yes, he did notice the other guy from Buffy– which I didn’t, until it was pointed out to me.
I was so happy to see Nick doing TV again, he probably could have done his worst acting ever and I still would have been like “awww look, its Xander”. No worries though, not only did he do a great job, but I love the character and the way he just “fit” in to the seen; not to mention the little power struggle between he and Garcia and the exchange at the end between them– “Your good.” “Your better”–priceless.
I hope we get to see more of “Kevin”; Garcia is so fun and free spririted, it would be great to see her character do more than buzz in with the criminal info for the other guys on the team.

“You” “You” “You’re good” “You’re better”
Too funny! It was great to see you on TV again Nick! I loved the role and really REALLY hope to see you again. I already enjoy watching Criminal Minds, but adding you to the cast, or at least on a semi-regular basis, woud just be awesome!
November 22nd, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Great CM episode. Between your geek and the Bowie reference that might have been my favorite episode ever. Hope you’ll be on more shows. Geek Goddess Garcia deserves her own Geek God.
November 23rd, 2007 at 1:43 am
Woohoo! The site looks great
Nick was awesome! I’m so happy to see him back on T.V. Looking forward to more Nick on Criminal minds.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:04 am
Congrats Nicholas!!! Was absolutely tickled pink to see you on Criminal Minds!!! Great job! Hope real hard to see you as a recurring character!!!! Hope to see you on CSI. All of them!!!
November 23rd, 2007 at 3:10 pm
I have been a fan of buffy summers and xander harris since the beginning, and now Nick hits mainstream prime-time, to paraphrase from my favorite BTVS summer quote, Nick, you are no longer the proverbial butt-monkey with the funny syphillis. EXCELLENT JOB on CM, if the producers can not see that making you a re-occuring character on the show will bring in a whole new demographic, then they should be smacked about the head and face with day-old pita bread.
Love and light, brightest blessings to you and yours.
p.s. – you still weraring that multi-colored toe-nail polish from the video game interview? just wondering
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:53 pm
I just loved see him on criminal minds it the only time I seen the show. I hope
they put him on more ep, He did the best job and I just love him. Great job
Nick!
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Nick rules! I love the character Kevin Lynch! Nerds rules! CBS needs to bring him back for more =D I wrote them a comment asking for more.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:23 pm
I am a massive Criminal Minds fan (also a Buffy fan) so when I heard you were going to be on the show, I was ecstatic. Seeing the episode only confirmed what I was feeling because you were part of one of the best scenes of the episode. I’m already adoring Garcia/Lynch and I will be SO SAD if you don’t come back. You were AMAZING!! I’m still smiling over the scenes you were in.
November 27th, 2007 at 3:56 am
He was so adorabled!
I had no idea that Nick was going to be on the show so I had a real geek outburst when I saw him. I love the geek love angle and even though I’m secretly holding out for Garcia/Morgan, Kevin was so perfect for Penelope I can put that aside.
Here’s hoping we see more of him!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:06 am
LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT EPISODE! I love Criminal Minds and the episode was just pure awesome!! I really hope we get to see more of you in that show. The whole Garcia/Kevin love interest thing would totally rock!! And Morgan being all protective, that would just be awesome!! Awesome stuff (wow i said awesome alot)
Hope to see you on there again!!
November 27th, 2007 at 9:50 pm
I may be a bit biased, but I honestly thought Nick was the best actor of the bunch! He should definitely be a regular! I’m not into crime shows at all, and only tuned in to see Nick…and he’s the only reason I’d keep watching. I completely believed the love and awe his character conveyed for Garcia at the end of the episode. So incredibly sweet, and what a great performance. Of course it would’ve been even better if his computer-geek-girl was played by Alyson Hannigan.
Okay, so I never got over rooting for Willow&Xander, so sue me. 
It was wonderful to see Nick again, and hey does anyone know if his TV movies “Celeste In The City” and “Relative Chaos” will ever be on DVD, because I’m dying to see those too (no ABC Family here in Canada)? It’s beyond me why Disney doesn’t release more of their TV movies, with those terrific stars!
November 28th, 2007 at 6:47 am
Loved this episode. Definitely going to write the network and tell them how much we want to see this character again.
Fun!
November 30th, 2007 at 5:58 am
Well, on the last episode, while Kevin Lynch wasn’t in anything axcept the “previously on Criminal Minds” part, Garcia did say his name like three different times, and referred to as him “cute”– hoping that opens the door for more of the character…
November 30th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
I can’t wait to see this ep (Well it hasn’t aired in Australia yet) but judging from the one clip I saw on youtube I’m gonna bet that nick will be a regular, at least for a while.
December 5th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Hey Nick,
I was wondering, next time you blog, could you answer some fan questions? Here are few for you:
What are you listening to on you iPod? You know, what kind of music are digging lately?
What kind of dog do you have? Can we see a pic?
What was your favorite role so far, and why?
And who was your favorite person to work with on Buffy?
Just thought I’d throw those out there.
December 5th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Let’s all put up questions (Please answer em nick)
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
What movie that was released in 2007 did you enjoy the most?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
What TV show would you NEVER do a guest spot on?
Do you think you will ever write or direct your own movie?
And finnaly, How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
