What exactly was Eckley's problem with Grissom

[hypnoticgenes]

On CSI, why did Eckley have it out for Grissom?

I mean he already outranked Grissom. Grissom mentioned many times that he was fine in the position he was in so he wasn't after Eckly's job. I dont get what his problem was.

Power breeds paranoia. Eckley was pretty secure in his position, and Grissom didn't want it, but Grissom WAS better at the job than Eckley was, and he perceived that as a threat.

A better question, why was Brass such a nob in the first series, but then come the second he was like, everyone's favourite uncle?

I think, it's been a while since I watched the early episodes, he was demoted, and didn't particularly want to be there, nor did they really want him there, but once he grew into the position he had, he got along better with everyone.

Not only that, but one of his first big decisions in the series in his post was overridden (He wanted to fire Warrick Brown over leaving Holly Gribbs by herself at a crime scene and leaving her without support when the perp came back to the crime scene and killed her). That really, really, REALLY rubbed him the wrong way.

And MAN, Warrick, what the team f*** up in the first couple of seasons. I don't know how he became Grissom's teacher's pet.

Because Catherine was too old to be a protege, he was romancing Sara, and Greg came into the field too late. It was between Nick and Warrick, but I guess he felt like Nick didn't need the guidance like Warrick did. Other than banging a prostitute, Nick really never did anything wrong.

Yeah, I think if I could TRY to make the show better by re-writing it, I'd have pushed Greg into the main cast way sooner, so he could be the protege.

Grissom always kind of rubbed me the wrong way because he seemed sort of arrogant and he always got the attention of the hottest chicks like Sara and that Lady Heather. But then that could be jealousy and feelings of inadequacy on my part.

Eckley's really became tamer since then though.
