Chained.

I love this episode.  Suspenseful and yet still amusing.  Lot's of Tony which is always good.

Type your cut contents here.  My favourite bits;
"Do I seem like the kind of guy that would drive a squishy little car?"
Hell no, and that's why we like you.

"Who's Tony Curtis?  Who's Tony Curtis?  You are!"
I love the bits when Tony is comparing him and ( Read more... )

Congratulations on making your first post in NCIS_nostalgia!

Hell no, and that's why we like you. So true.

Good thoughts on the professional-personal relationship.

Poor Tony. I agree that was a bit insensitive. It just wasn't the right time. Gibbs was just relieved, but Tony spent time with this guy. Just because someone is evil doesn't mean they aren't a real person you can start to establish a bit of a friendship with. It seems to be almost necessary to pull it off well. Killing your "new friend" can't be easy.

Lane definitely gives me the creeps when he ushers Tony to bed. Ughhhh!

Yes, oh, yes! *shudders*

At this point I actually felt sorry for Jeffery.

Yeah, Jeffrey was likable. Pity he was also a killer... :-(

If they started a more personal relationship this could lead to romance and he doesn't want to go there with her.

Yeah. There is attraction between Kate and Gibbs. But Gibbs also made it clear, quite early, that he doesn't like relationships between agents. And I think, the more Kate's gotten to know Gibbs, the less she actually wants to be in a relationship with the grouchy bastard. ;-)

I'm still saying that it'd take a special kind of person to handle the Gibbs we see on-screen... and I don't think Kate's got what it takes - don't even think she'd make the effort. But I'd love to hear from the Kate/Gibbs people out there, and see what they think.

lol - you opened a can of worms asking for a Kate/Gibbs person's opinion! ;-)

There are a couple things that I believe someone who marries Gibbs has to be able to handle.
1. understand his commitment not necessarily to the job but to catching bad guys, and put up with those moods to a certain extent (Remember at the end of "Hometown Hero", the case was over. There was still paperwork, but Gibbs left before doing it and didn't plan on early or on time on Monday to do it. He was going to funeral.) This a lot of people can cover. Everyone works with him, they understand that drive. His later wives did not.

2. keep Gibbs at a manageable level of emotional health. In this respect only Ducky and Kate ever appear to try. They try to engage him on how he's feeling, they ( ... )

4. shared likes/dislikes With the exception of food, they seem to share a general view of things (and Gibbs could use someone to watch his diet). Kate grew up having to work, and she'll splurge only once in awhile. She's put her juvenile stage behind her and will spend a weekend cleaning and doing bills if she has to. Gibbs has his Sears clothes and his homebody-ish lack of a social life. They both value privacy and quiet and don't have a crazy need to pry into the tiny details in other people's lives. They both appear to be Catholic, and both seem to love and are ready for children ( ... )

I agree with Dhae Knight on this one. A bit insensitive here, Gibbs.

Just a bit? :-) Gibbs just isn't sensitive to emotions. People have to put up with a lot to work for or with him. I do believe in this part, though, at this point he's also too relieved that Tony's not dead to notice. Of course, given, we know there was no way Tony would be dead, even with the blood over the car, but within that world....

Yes, Sammie, just a bit. I don't like to criticize Gibbs too much. At this point he has no way of knowing the depths of Tony's feelings.
