Did anyone really think Wendy resembled Kate a great deal? Not just in physical appearance but in the way she acted, hell, even in the clothes she wore?
It's funny you say that. During the episode, an online friend and I were discussing and "first reaction despairing" on facebook. At some point, she said "Is it my imagination or does the girl playing Wendy bear a striking resemblance to Kate?" and I told her I was glad it wasn't just me. Cause Wendy really was like Kate. When I first started watching NCIS (it took a couple years because I was still mad at Tony and Gibbs for trying to arrest Harm on JAG) and went back to the first episodes, I found Kate to be annoying and rather know-it-all. And I thought she dressed really impractically for a federal agent. Skirts and heels don't work well in the field, so wearing them to work means either changing before going into the field or being impractical in the field.
But yes, for a second I almost thought it was another sister of Kate's, come to "get her own" on the team that her sister died a part of. When I realized who she really was, it made a lot of his interactions with Kate make a lot more sense...
After the whole TATE baby scenario in LBHE it was really kind of telling they made her look like Kate, do you think? Tony and Kate obviously weren't happy together in that episode even though they made a baby, and now in this one, where Wendy looks and acts so much like Kate, she broke Tony's heart and now wants to go on to round 2. Tony should run not walk away from her.
The impracticality of Kate's clothes made me crazy. I remember a couple of episodes in season 3 where they put Ziva in very high heels and once in a tight skirt with heels but those were exceptions. Her regular "uniform" of pants and jacket with boots (with heels or not) is much more believable. And it makes the exceptions, like last year's appearance in the short dress, tights and the new boots Ray sent her so exciting!!!
Bit repetitive since I say this every week but outstanding review, specially of all the great parts in the episode that I loved from Ziva getting a speeding ticket to Abby posing for a picture with the superheroes who admired her 'costume' and Abby said its her normal clothes. Also really liked the Ducky- Tony chat. I didn't mind Wendy coming back to Tony's life because he needed closure as you pointed out and if she returns, I will happily accept that since as you said it will jolt Ziva into action. I do agree with Mew that I didn't like Wendy much because she never once said she was sorry. Thanks for the analysis and all the splendid screen caps.
Wow one of your best reviews sammy!! I feel so much better about my doubts and confusions. I need to watch a few more times.. Ok -Fred. He is not 7 yrs old! That is so obvious. If 7, he would be real tall for his age, his voice would be more childish and he wouldn't be old enough to be that snarky. Goood catch.
Ziva and Tony oh my. They are adorable and you caught all their interactions perfectly. Tony DESERVES a woman like Ziva. They both need to work out some stuff and then --- knock down drag out make out CITY! I did not notice him putting his arm around her..oh MW and his perfect playing the part. So posssessive of him it makes me feel faint.
Wendy - I liked the actress from Entourage. I don't know if she really digs Tony enough to make him happy. the "money" thing about her ex bothers me. She noticed Tony's $100o suit - things like that make her maybe judge him as a good catch?
Can't wait until your next review, more fics please and love all the caps.
