Parsons: Do you take full responsibility for the actions of your team?
Gibbs: What do you think?

You know what, it's been a month and I just realized the sour taste hasn't washed out of my mouth yet and this still isn't any easier for me to watch. I am still angry that he doesn't. I am still angry that they make McGee say, "Gibbs would do the same ( Read more... )

Since he'll play a part in certain chapters of the Somalia story, I started rewatching the Ari episodes today to get a better feel for him, and "Bête Noir" is *killing* me. God, he was such a delicious bastard. Brilliant and insanely creepy and ruthless. I'm not gonna go into how hard I want to smack Kate around for her mindboggling levels of ( Read more... )

It's... interesting to go to the Tiva tag on Tumblr at the moment - in a slightly disconcerting way. Not because of the content, but because the longer the season break lasts, the fewer gets posted. (From hundreds of new posts each day we are currently down to a dozen max ( Read more... )

Just a tiny bit of quick-and-dirty musing, since I won't have the time to do the full-blown review that's been scratching at my leg before the preview comes out tonight. Sooo, let me just pull out one thought from there about the next episode, throw it out here just so it's out of my head, and hopefully it'll leave you pondering a bit. Or excited. ( Read more... )

6x24, "Semper Fidelis"
Ray Cruz: She says you're like a brother to her.
8x20, "Two-faced"

Jesus Christ. For some reason that line by Michael always slipped through the cracks of my memory and never really registered before. It's really no wonder that Tony' ( Read more... )

Finished clearing out my bedroom and ended up throwing away a big fat part of my fannish youth, like photocopies as sources for drawings etc. Because I looked at mostly the Sentinel and the Due South stuff and realized that no, I will never go back there. I still like the shows and the characters - but I will never go back to being a part of slash ( Read more... )

Of course, these thoughts always hit me when I'm out and on my phone, so I can't put together the links I want now. It'll have to wait until I'm home again. For now, this will have to do ( Read more... )

So, now that I finally put my head canon for the summer between seasons three and four out there in written form, I feel the need to explain why this is (currently) the only version of events that makes sense to me and actually works well with all later events, too. (Slightly disjointed reasoning on my end, but I hope I still end up making sense ( Read more... )

Yet another question about the new season, asked over on Tumblr. Since my lengthy answer is based on a biggish spoiler for the first two episodes... spoiler cut for anr. ;)
