The opening scene is the one the shippers really go for. I can take it or leave it; I've been much into watching porn, soft or hard. That said, it's certainly an intriguing beginning, given Gibbs' well known rules about inter-office assignations ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, after the break, they bring back the hash. Sigh. I really like the kid in this episode, the actor is very good, but the point of the rest of the episode is to trash Tony. First by proving he's not good with kids and then by giving McGee credit for his work. Gibbs usually does a better job than that figuring out who did what. On the ( Read more... )

I like it that at the end it's Tony who puts together that the murderer was the redhead they passed on the way in. I also get a kick out of the fact that he beats Gibbs to the answer. Abby's "now you know how I feel" is appropriate payback-certainly more appropriate than if Tony had said that, since the writers would've used that to give Gibbs yet ( Read more... )

There's not a lot of new character stuff in the episode, except for Ziva as she struggles to fit in with the team. She looks so awkward trying to comfort the wife (it's obviously well out of her comfort zone). I think it's nice to see her not doing everything well. Understandably (since she's shorter) she doesn't run as fast as Tony, either ( Read more... )

First episode without Kate. Last episode without Ziva as a regular. Fifth episode with Paula Cassidy. And I guess I was wrong earlier, they're not done showing us flashbacks to the commission of the crimes ( Read more... )

This episode has repercussions that carry through the rest of the series. Well, one repercussion, anyway. Tony's bout with the plague comes up a number of times during the series ( Read more... )

The last appearance of Faith Coleman, this time in civvies. I have to wonder (since I didn't watch the show and don't feel like looking it up) whether it's the last because they cancelled JAG. Makes a good theory, anyway. I always like the episode this woman shows up in. At least, for once, she's on their side ( Read more... )

A McGee episode. Is that his sister, or a lover in his apartment?. Nice to know he has a social life outside work. At the beginning, he is much more mature than Kate and Tony. He makes his share of mistakes, but over all he's doing well. Why is he glaring at Tony and Kate when the mistake was McGee's ( Read more... )

I felt so sorry for the victim in this. They gave her a lot of background and didn't leave her as just some stressed out kook. Maybe it's because I know a lot of people who struggle with various forms of mental illness ( Read more... )

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... )
