This is one where Tony is a jerk, but so is Kate (when she's drooling over the beefcake). I don't know why the jerkiness doesn't bother me as much in this one; perhaps because it seems less mean spirited. I'm pretty much with McGee about the spring break thing. I never understood the appeal of going to Florida for a week and partying until you get ( Read more... )

This is the episode from which they took the deleted scene between Tony and Kate on the roof for A Man Walked Into a BarTony is not only competent in this, he is (for once) more competent than Kate. I love the scene in the bullpen when McGee and Kate think Tony's slacking and it turns out he has a whole bunch of stuff to report. It's not ( Read more... )

I do not like the beginning, when Kate and Tony are bickering. I think it's supposed to be funny. At least it's not hash. I will say that, despite the bickering, they do work well together. That's one of the reasons I like the characters in this show. They switch in a moment from arguing to cooperating to get the job done, and it doesn't feel false ( Read more... )

This is a Ducky episode. As such, it deserves admiration. However, I find it hard to watch. The mother of the villain is almost worst than Vincent Hamlyn. Maybe it's because of the abused husband that I find this difficult. I think this is an episode I don't need to watch again ( Read more... )

I don't have much to say about this episode, because I think the premise is pretty stupid (meeting the other team that's exactly the same as Gibbs' team). The mystery isn't bad, but the rest of it... It's particularly annoying because they do this twice (with Borin's team). It's also full of hash, although at least this time McGee suffers, too ( Read more... )

Is this a McGee episode? It's difficult to tell. He's certainly awed by the P.I. and crushed when he develops feet of clay. We also get another hint concerning McGee's book. McGee is learning, but he still hasn't quite gotten a grasp on when he should or should not listen to Tony ( Read more... )

Oopsy. Missed yesterday. Too much fun at Dinner to remember to post this ( Read more... )

They're working weekends again. From Kate's attitude, I assume she's had her counseling. Of course, it isn't until season ten or so that the show acknowledged the need for an investigation and counseling after a shooting.

Tony's a jerk, again, setting McGee up. We also see Lt. Kim, who also features in Frame Up as a woman who let Tony's charm ( Read more... )

The mysterious redhead is back. It's also a call back to the early episodes where Tony calls Gibbs at home ( Read more... )

It astonishes me that the guest star in this episode did not win the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Star Actor in a Drama Series. He certainly deserved it ( Read more... )
