NCIS and a tiny bit of NCIS:LA

[webbgirl]

While there were pieces of this episode that I did like (Tony mimicking Gibbs during the interrogation scene and the Tony/Tim moments) overall I think I might be done with the show. I'll stick it on DVR and watch when/if I get around to it.

There were so many things that just didn't make sense or were cheesetastic. Not that this hasn't happened in the past, but those combined with the TIVA is just too much.

It really did feel like an 'intro to NCIS' they way they were telling the story. Almost like SB is trying to use this as his clean break from the legacy of DPB for the show. He wants his mark to be the only one now.

The idea that Abby, McGee and Tony tracked the guy down through Caf-Pow is just ridiculous. Including the idea that anyone spending that amount of time in the Sahara would be drinking a caffienated drink enough to have it shipped in.

There's also the idea that the three guys would go in alone to avenge Ziva's death and wouldn't have Mossad with them.

Gibbs' miraculous ability to get from a hill that far away and shoot the guy at the door (laying aside the whole eyesight and age thing).

The cheesetastic ending. Remind me to never travel with these people if Gibbs didn't even change out of the clothes he was wearing under his ghillie suit before hoping a 10+ hour flight and walking into NCISheadquarters. Ewww with all of them.

Also? Tony comes back from the dead he gets 5 people who notice and has to reclaim all of his stollen stuff. Ziva comes back from the dead and gets a standing ovation. Ye-ah. I really can't understand why folks would call her the Princess at *all*.



Still think the plot of the first episode was meh, but my G/Sam love is still strong. Bromance doesn't even come close with these two. They are such an old married couple. The scene in the car when they're driving to the guy's apartment? They might as well start making out. I did love the movie reference out of G. :) I also have a soft spot for Dominic.

I think there's hope for the chemistry of this cast, but I am leery about liking it because it's SB's.

One thing that I do wonder about is if the convoluted NCIS mess is because Shane Brennan was stuck with the world that DPB had already set up. He has to work somewhat within the parameters of that world, but he wants to morph it into his own now. This is why we get these freakin' plot-lines outta left field.

I finally saw the preview for next week for NCIS:LA!!! I squeaked out loud and scared the dog!

did you like special agente Kensi?

I think she has potential, but I though she was way underused as a character in this episode. She kind of became the "girl" of the episode. I'd like to see what they do with the character to see if they actually develop her.
