The Watcher - Strike Watch, Day 3: What will happen to 'Dirty Sexy Money' and other new shows?
yes I like DSM esp Nick George who keeps having occasion to demonstrate integrity.
(then last week good drama letting us think he compromises himself for SimonElder, uses influence over Tripp & wrongs him. but, v good, flashdback: Tripp was in on it. lovely.
1-6 Recap "I Love You, Nicky" The Game - That's what Tripp tells Nick, and boy, does he prove it.

and an episode back, where I was most struck by Nick's integrity, not compromising himself:
1-5 Recap Off With Her Head! The Bridge - Well, that's the punishment Juliet would probably prescribe for Natalie, as it turns out Natalie isn't pregnant. The good news is that the twins reconcile, though. Also, Nick chats with Simon Elder.
Jeremy gets drunk & distraught, sings "AllByMyself" in his boxers. awesome. Trip gives Jeremy a stern & contemptuous lecture. Nick stands up to Tripp, tells him he's handling Jeremy all wrong. that's the integrity moment I was esp impressed by. here:
1-5 The Bridge - epis recap (by Couch Baron) p10: Jeremy's red-eyed and sitting in the suit he was wearing before his Near-Nude Revue as Tripp acidly dresses him down in front of Nick, saying that he's had every conceivable advantage given to him and he's wasted it on a two-million dollar "Brooklyn Bridge bacchanal."
Tripp turns to Nick, who clearly doesn't want to be pulled in here, and says that "we" shouldn't just delay the trust -- it should be revoked entirely. I've asked this before, I think, but…can they do that? Nick tries to bring this down a notch, but Jeremy seethes that he doesn't care -- Tripp can take it all as long as he gets out from under his father. "I wish that I could be someone you love, Dad! I wish that, but I can't. I can just be me. I know that's not good enough for you." It looks a bit soapy on the page, but it's affecting in execution, and I love Donald Sutherland for committing to this role entirely and everyone else for rising to the challenge he presents. Jeremy characteristically he's a sweetheart huh, his sister too apologizes to Nick on the way out, and when he's gone, Tripp says he supposes Nick thinks this is all his fault. He sounds mildly dismissive, but Nick refuses to be intimidated, saying he does find it puzzling that Tripp can accuse Jeremy of being irresponsible when he declines to be responsible with him. Tripp tells Nick that the situation is between Jeremy and him, but Nick again won't back down, as he evenly says that part of his job is to provide Tripp with advice.
yes that's the moment I was distinctly impressed by Nick and thought "integrity".
Tripp: This is between me & Jeremy.
Nick: No, it's not, because I am here to say that it's wrong.
