Back in my good graces show but I had to trash you first NCIS LA review

[kalikahuntress]

Do you guys remember that discussion in Empty Quiver, re-watch the first scene with Pam Greer and Sam bond automatically over the fact that she was in a relationship with her married partner, where he compared it the higher meaning to their partnership and the job? Sam tells her he doesn't wear his wedding ring often and he's not at home, he

Wow that song. The lyrics that I had picked up during the show I had thought were referring to how he'd fallen in love with and then betrayed another woman, and what did that say about his mariage.

In an early episode, Sam was in bed with someone, which we now assume was his wife. She'd not been mentioned or referred to. I have to wonder if the ptb remembered that he was married or not? There are so many times when he did things that you would never expect him to do if he was married. What that says about his relationship with is wife is just sad. I agree totally that G is far more important to him than his wife.

Before this last episode I had this whole thing in my head about how Sam and G were going off together for the weekends, and that when Hetty was sending Sam home to his family, that meant G. I mean, G bought Sam a car because Sam was all sad about his getting stollen!! That is not the act of a friend. That's the act of someone who loves you enough to know exactly what you want and how much it means to you and is willing to give you whatever he can to make you happy. That's family. I was very sad to find out that there were TWO other women that Sam was going home (or away) to.

You are so right about the vacationing and holidays and all. It says something very bad about Sam's relationship with his wife and child if he's spending free time with G instead of them. Especially since G knows about them and hence is complicit to the deceit. As well as how much that has to hurt G when he longs so much for his lost family and here Sam is his surrogate family, but at the expense of Sam's own family. Not fun dynamics there.

Next week scares me too. I'm really hoping that the scenes we saw were purposely misleading and that it's all an undercover thing, and not really real. I do not want poor Deeks hurt like that (they used to do all sorts of misleading coming next weeks on Veronica Mars, so I can hope?)

I think the fact that they asked LL to record this song for his character and that Shane said that Sam has 'family aspects' to him suggests they knew they weren't going to go the devoted husband routine. I wasn't sure if they remembered themselves especially when Sam agreed to go to the Bahamas for a week because G asked, really who does that unless duh you are married to your partner.

I am so scared for poor Deeks; the show really ripped my heart out this past week and I don't Deeks stamped on. Dammit, Sam and Ga are already a hot mess we need Deeks and Kensi to balance that all out.
