It will be so great to see Nick on tv again. I just wish we saw him in more roles. Maybe a Dollhouse guest stint?

Dollhouse will be cancelled before that can happen. As for Nick in this role, I heard it will be a little more extensive than his previous ones this season. Let’s hope they write him better. Whoever writes for his character whatever episode he appears in clearly could write him in a more better light. He comes out as annoying due to his lines but they could make him more likeable. That first episode, “Penelope,” is the sole episode that makes him seem likeable. Let’s hope for the best.

Nick looked so great in his suit and glasses and his new haircut! Way to go Nick.
@BabyBlue5 You might be right about Dollhouse. I would just be happy to see Nick in meatier roles where he has more screen time. As for the writing on Criminal Minds, I hadn’t really noticed anything annoying about the character. But there’s not a lot of opportunity for him to have screen time on a show like that. I wish we could see him as a regular in a new series. Maybe a stint on Leverage? Castle? Or Supernatural? I’d love to see Nick mix it up with the Winchesters!

Sadly, I am right about Dollhouse. I’m sick of having hope for shows that are on Fox and then being let down by Fox executives. First it was Firefly, then Kitchen Confidential, and many other shows. Fox does not spare anyone, regardless of its fanbase. You should know that.
Nick’s scenes in his last episode of Season Four were well worth the wait. Stupid Imdb hasn’t listed him in the guest list for Roadkill, as usual. Anyway, he got a lot of screentime in this episode and compensated for his lack of it throughout this season.
Like you said, I hope he gets a lot of guest roles. But with Nick’s resume, he has a lot of opportunities besides guest roles. Like you said, part of a main cast again is not so far fetched. David and Alyson seem to be doing fine and Nick would be doing fine as we speak with Kitchen Confidential if Fox hadn’t cancelled it. Sadly and objectively, I feel Kitchen Confidential was better than Bones and How I Met Your Mother, yet it was cancelled.
Anyway, I’m really thrilled about tonight’s episode. The writers gave him a serious role in this one just like “Penelope” and ultimately made this his best outing in my opinion. Why I am also thrilled is that he is guaranteed for Season Five so we can expect more of him next season. Yay!

It was great to see Nick on “Criminal Minds” last night. (: I really enjoyed it. And I agree with babyblue5 “Kitchen Confidential” was a good show and it was a shame that it had gotten canceled. And, I would definately enjoy seeing Nick on the main cast of a new show of his own.

Dude, give me a frigging heart attack! I couldn’t even pay attention to the stupid episode after his first scene because I thought they were writing the character off! Not cool writer type people! Not cool!

BTW – what’s the deal with the Quincy Rose Show? Might make a good web property if the cable networks don’t know what to do with it.

I just started watching Criminal Minds on Netflix, and am keeping up with recent episodes. I did a spit-take when I first caught Nicholas. Now I’m all caught up, and he’s been so great!
What a fantastic show.
