You had me at 'brotherly incestous subtext' vibes. ;)

I finally watched the episode last night and LOVED it!!
Okay, as of 5x03, I was prepared for Nick to be the one character from this gen that I actually severely disliked UNTIL THIS EPISODE HAPPENED!!

I mean, I'm still a bit turned off by him because of the way he pressured/to an extent even bullied Mini into sleeping with him when I can't imagine he wouldn't have realized that she had no experience (his asking her if she wanted to tell him something before they had sex kinda came off that way to me); but MAN did I feel for him this episode =|

He's so... repressed and frustrated and just generally screwed up. In fact, he's so much like Mini really in that he's constantly putting on a show and trying to maintain a certain image--that part where he had to stop and plaster on that smile before going into the rugby locker room was so telling, I figured he wasn't as into rugby even before he gave his coach the speech at the end (gaah I love this show and all its subtle signs!! <3 ( ... )
