Remember the almost-kiss between Nell and Eric earlier this season?
Not really no. Are we talking about when they were completely awkward and weird while away from the mission?

Remember how bummed you were that it didn’t happen?
Nope. I actually turned to my husband and said "wow, I don't know if Barrett Foa is really terrible at pulling off being straight or if he thinks that that is how "nerds" act. Either way I'm kinda offended"

Why oh why TPTB would you pick them out of all the ships on the original and LA to have a kiss in the forth season?!? I don't know why you want to hurt me.

Now, before Kensi and Deeks fans cry foul and claim they’ve been waiting for a love connection longer, Brennan is quick to point out that the two couples are on very different paths. “Nerds don’t hang around when it comes to love. They jump right in,” he jokes.
I'm sorry, have you ever even seen a nerd? They are normally shy and insecure and it takes them forever to do anything social, especially romantic things.

I understand that Callen/Nell will never be cannon, that is not what this is about. I just want for once "the nerds" not to get paired up simply because they are nerds. Just because two people are smart and socially awkward/geeky =/= love connection. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr



Feel free to disagree...

Grr.

I wrote him as a gay best friend in my massive fic for a reason. I think they're too much alike, and she's too much smarter than him (IQ wise) for it to work - he'd be to jealous.

I KNOW that Nell/Callen is a pipe dream, but I'd rather no romance on the show than have Nell and Eric hooking up.

Oh, that's such an icky thought. EWWWWWWIE! That gives me the same icky feeling that Tony/Kate does ...

I don't really consider Nell to be a nerd. She seems to be socially much more normal than Eric. His character is written as the classic nerd, while she seems more like a highly intelligent over-achiever, but one with a normal personality.

At first, I thought they made a cute couple, but the more I watch, the less I like them together. I agree, TPTB are just putting them together because NERDS!

Wow! Seriously?

I liked them earlier on, but a certain someone *cough Rae cough* showed me the light of the Nell/Callen ship and I haven't looked at Nell/Eric the same since.

I agree - we have chemistry dripping off the walls with Tony/Ziva and Deeks/Kensi and yet they chose to put together a couple who doesnt' have any? Meh!

Bad move.

The idea is just icky.. I don't want Eric/Nell.. Like, ever.. Everyone here has already said the same thing I think..
