He entrusts a special baby to his mother, a person he hardly knows and who he hadn't seen in 20 years because he was told she was dead. As a policeman, his primary concern should be for both mother and baby. Diana would have been better off with her mother. Nick, as an experienced detective, would have seen hundreds of domestic cases. His sixth sense should have been flagging a thousand red flags at him when Kelly was talking him into giving her Diana.
and...
Quote:I for one would like to see Nick become a stronger more dominant character. Monroe and Rosalee are great resources, but they are beginning to wear thin in my opinion. They just can't possibly know everything about everything, yet that's what we're led to believe from week to week.
So...Oh go ahead and click, you know you want to!!! given your first quote - how? They would have to retool the character. Nick is not a leader, he may be a charismatic figure that gets people to follow him, but that is actually different than being a leader. For one, as you pointed out he makes extremely poor decisions, in many ways it goes back to my comments about his seeming arrested adolescent development. rememebr the court holders form hihg school, with their little troupe f hanger-ons, msot of the folks I know like that washed out in the adult world. tha ti swhat NIck sor tof remineds me of.
When you look at it, Rosalee may view him a bit maternally, or at least as a big sister-little brother relationship. Monroe, may be his friend, but in many ways Monroe plays a wise elder to an impertinent youth. I guess what I am saying is after 5 seasons, Nick character does not seem to have matured much and I don't see how he grows in leadership, given the fact he is, well, Nick. Everyone's favorite brother.
Quote:I would also like to see Nick leave the force.
Ditto.
But as you know, I would like to see some attempt made to bring him to justice for his many crimes. I also think he should be afforded a path to redemption, in the form of the classic way men use to restore honor to their family name, ala warden Norton in the ShawShank Redemption: Warden Norton
But frankly the writers seem to lack the moral courage to make a more profound statement as other series have attempted to do(aka Seinfeld, The Sopranos).
But perhaps justice can be served by a group of unconnected maraudering wesen in the aftermath of whatever conclusion they draw this BC/HW nonsense with. Well, I can dream can't I?
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
