Random NCIS Observations are Random (and probably been discussed already, elsewhere)
Because I tend to only really notice if numbers are involved - and then only *really* pay attention to the numbers - and because Legend aired only a few weeks ago and Enigma was repeated last night.

1991 is a magic year for Gibbs and is mentioned approximately 80 million times... that said DADT wasn't around back then, although you could be dishonorably discharged for it. So maybe after Gibbs was blown up (which resulted in the coma that is mentioned at the end of S3) he was 'asked' to retire a hero instead of facing being dishonorably discharged?

I seemed to think, even as I was writing, that that might be the case. If ever someone sits down to add up allt he things that happened to him, is it going to turn out that 1991 would have had to have had 500 days?
(And if it did have to, are we going to be able to blame one of our time travelling buddies?)

* Jethro is wounded in Desert Storm
* Shannon & Kelly are murdered
* (June) Jethro is released from Bethesda and visits Shannon&Kelly's grave
* (August) Jethro starts working for NIS
* Jethro is in South America
* plus about 10,000 other things Jethro did
There are more things, like it was mentioned as the year there was an insanely popular stuffed animal and he got it for Kelly and there's the flask and a lot more...
I like the idea it's the Doctor or someone else mucking around making all of it possible as opposed to sloppy canon compliance on the part of the writers

I blame post-it notes. One day you just have to know that someone got a post-it and wrote "stuff happened in 1991" on it as a reminder to *themselves* not to use '91 again. Then they stuck it on a folder or the side of a monitor or a whiteboard where all the rest of the team could see it and then- they forgot to take it down...
Time Agent Jack running around screwing up the timeline I can well believe.

*translation: I will be watching it - there will be no kids needing to be fed, or phone calls from sister, or dog needing to be let out.
I'm a bit bemused by NCIS: LA.
On the one hand slash goggles aren't even required for Callen/Hanna - it's handed to us on a plate - and I *adore* Linda Hunt's character.
On the other it's very heavy on the action and bit light on the procedure. And there's SO many damn *people* to try and get a handle on all at once.
And speaking of people how the hell has that neighbourhood NOT noticed something's going on in that condemned building with all those people turning up to work every day? Is there some kind of underground transport system we aren't aware of - souped up golf carts perhaps, or maybe a monorail, like in all those 60s shows?

As per usual, I'm loving the geek. I nearly screamed when I saw the touch-screen Windows 7 computer. Effing A!
Oh I was so thinking along those lines. I was wondering what would happen if the city decided to beautify the area or regenerate it.
How is your dog, by the way. A lot of people I know have had pets unwell or worse recently, so I'm hoping yours is well and can break the cycle!

Milo (the dog) is fine *touch wood* though I've barely seen him today.
