    Stalker is one of my top-five favorite episodes of all time. The case is very different to other episodes. It begins like any other case but I loved this because it had many twists. But this a very important episode for charachter development. The episode is centered to Nick. We get to see his apartment and we learn more about him. It is very entertaining episode because the case is not predictable at all. I got a shoking feeling when we learn his connection to the victim. The actors give an excellent performance here. George Eads's final moment in his home is heart-breaking. A very emotinal episode.moreless

    This i belive is one of the best episodes of CSI ever it has great acting, fantastic story and also can be considored creepy but overall it is just wow. I have watched this episode at least 2 times during the past fortnight and each time i still feel the same shiver and excitment while watching it. Also the acting portraid by George Eads is just amazing and also the acting who plays the stalker he just fits the bill perfectly knowing all about Nick and about his life and acts in everyway a good CSI preprator should. Overall this episode is a must watch you won't regret it.moreless

    Ok this episode starts with a girl who is scared to death because someone is stalking her. Then you figure out that she was posed because the guy wanted to be like nick. I liked the crime stopper artical and how they had it all plotted out so Nick would be freaking out when he saw the e-mail with his prom date. The clarivoint guy was just brilliant that just added a whole nother level of weird to the episode. The ending i didnt like so much with him getting caught and brought into police custody and arrested i would have rather him got away and been in a few more episodes.moreless

    So, this is my first review of CSI Las Vegas. I loved this episode specially because of the keen details one often overlooks. The choice of music and sound was perfect, theis episode even has perfect thriller meterial in it with lots of suspense. It kept me on the enge numerous times and I gotta say it's all because of a great direction. The only flaw that I see is that the story of the phsychic was left in thin air. Did he die when Crane threw him out? He was a key element in the whole episode and I think is not fair to just leave him out like that.moreless

    Fantastic. This is one of the first episodes I ever saw of CSI. It's such a great reason why I watch the show. It had lots of suspense without it being predictable. I enjoy the show when it involves the CSI field investigators into the storyline. I'm now watching the show from the beginning and this episode is where I am currently at. This episode and the episode "The Finger" have been my favorites so far. As I said before, this episode isn't as predictable as some of the CSI episodes prior. And last but not least, I heart Greg. :)moreless

    • Goof: When the bathtub is first examined, Catherine takes out her swab to get a sample of the hair dye. The q-tip is dirty when she takes it out of the supposedly sterile box, but is clean again when she goes to collect the sample. Edit
    • Goof: Satellite TV isn't cable TV, yet the dishes on the houses say Luna Cable. Edit
    • Nick's apartment is seen for the first time. George Eads, who plays Nick, requested that some trophies be removed and books added in the apartment in order to match his CSI profession and get rid of the high school atmosphere he felt. For the final outlook, the writers addressed his concerns. Edit

    • Nick: Why me? Grissom I don't think it was about you, Nick. Or Jane Galloway, for that matter. I think it was more about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. His premise is that social beings strive to belong. In Nigel's mind, Jane Galloway was someone he could control which was okay for a while but you ... you were someone he could actually become. See, Maslow's Fifth Tier of the Hierarchy is Self-Actualization. The problem for Nigel is that you would have to die in order for that to happen. Or else he would. Sara: Twenty-five years to life, Nick. It's over. Nick: It's not over for me. It's over for Jane Galloway. Edit
    • Nigel: Nick, you know what a nine-millimeter slug does to a skull at close range? You know? (Nigel pulls his gun back and holds it in front of his face) Nick: Yeah. Nigel: Blow it right apart, right? Brains like strawberry swirled. Whipped cream, everywhere. And you. (Nigel points the gun back at Nick) You'd have to scoop that stuff up, right? Yeah, little pieces of skull and bone and brains. All in individual baggies with the victim's name on the label. Nick: You know I don't want to disappoint you, Nigel, but this isn't the first time I've had a gun in my face. How do you want this to end, Nigel? Nigel: How do I want this to end? I want you to be able to remember my name. Edit

    • Nick: You know I don't want to disappoint you, Nigel, but this isn't the first time I've had a gun in my face. The reference to "scooping little pieces of skull," as well as Nick's quote about having had a gun pointed at him before, echoes events from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction. This also refers to the Season 1 episode "Who Are You?" where Nick has a woman pull a gun on him and aim it at his head. Edit
