CSI canon

So apparently, years of watching The X-Files has made me unable to keep any sort of canon details straight in my head.

The first season starts in '00, right?

Greg moved to Las Vegas pretty much right after he got his BS?

How long has Nick been in Las Vegas when the series starts?

The problem would be easier to solve if they laid out any kind of definitive canonical details. For instance, we don't actually know how long Nick's been in Vegas. All we know is that he worked as a cop for three years before training to become a CSI, then he took the job in Vegas. Nobody really knows when, although a good guess is that he's been there a year or two before the series starts, since he's promoted to level 3 in the first episode of the show.

Greg interned in SF for a year and then took the job in Vegas, so yes, he's been there pretty much since grad. And according to IMDb the series started in 2000. The fact that I know that without having to go check just goes to show I've spent way too much time researching stupid details about this show.

OK, check it for Nick (this is plus/minus one year):

1989-1993 - B.S. at Rice or T A&M depending
1993-1994- Police Academy
1994-1997 - police officer
1997/8 - Begins training to become CSI (probably in Dallas) and at some point in the next year or so transfers to Las Vegas (Or San Francisco for the AU).

That works for me. Although I should warn you that I am so bad at math that just seeing numbers makes my head hurt, even though they are clearly dates. But yeah, that makes sense.

I'd go with A&M. That's actually mentioned on the show, while the site says Rice but with no reason to. And I've heard the site info has quite a few toher mistakes too. So I'd go with A&M.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. I just couldn't remember which was which.

Well, glad to be of help then. Caroline went with A&M the time she mentioned it too.
