Oh NCIS....

[donutsweeper]

I actually really liked it, until those last two seconds with it's cheesy hackneyed cliffhanger fail of an ending.

*SIGH* Ncis this season, never failing to disappoint.

presumably there will be spoilers in comments

I would have been perfectly happy had they ended it with Tony's shut cell phone.

Otherwise, I really did like the ep too. Tony needs more Abby-hugs I think.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YES! Exactly- that would have been PERFECT and probably one of the best episodes I'd seen in AGES. Actually in YEARS. But no, they had to go for the *shocker* blurgh

and yes- Tony definitely needs more Abby hugs!

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

I know. They seemed to nail everything (even if I wanted to slap McGee at the beginning). Then they went and did that... *rolls eyes*

Because now I feel like they are going to have "NCIS goes on Safari" next season and I shudder to think about that...

[kateri-e.livejournal.com]

yes, that would have been the best place to end it

[kateri-e.livejournal.com]

They do like making us think something is going to be great and then giving us that last minute let down.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

exactly!! There are several ncis episodes that it's just better to turn off with seconds or minutes to go.

[kateri-e.livejournal.com]

Its like the writers have forgotten how to write the end of episodes or that the directors just don't realize they are supposed to wrap up the ep.

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

You nailed it PERFECTLY. Such a disappointment after the good story. Rather contrived feeling, IMHO.

And, did you catch Gibbs smacking Tony's ass in Vance's office when Tony was dismissed? :-))

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

Mee!!! I did!!!

It was a love tap. :-)

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

Well, he couldn't exactly blow him a kiss, now could he? *GG*

[kateri-e.livejournal.com]

O.o

Oh my! That's what I get from grabbing a drink out of the kitchen quickly.

Must watch it again as soon as it's up online.

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

Oh, you must Hopefully someone will cap it or something. Since ny DVD to avi program seems to not know how to work right now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

OOOh, bet Micheal and Mark liked doing that scene! :)

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am sure the Official Word is that it was a pat on the back. *shakes head* nope, back is LOTS higher than that, guys.

I might actually watch this episode. Just because if I want to have any interest in the next season I should probably watch the finale. I did watch Tony's fight in the last episode, and that was good. Still not hugely inspired though.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Tony has some *great* scenes in this one. FF through the rest, but Tony and Gibbs have some good interaction as well as him and Abby and a great interrogation scene between Tony and Ziva's dad

[mylogiceatsyou.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll watch it for the Tony and Gibbs and Tony and Abby interaction, if nothing else.

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

Just don't watch the last minute after Tony closes his cell phone and all will be good. :-)

[mylogiceatsyou.livejournal.com]

Lol, duly noted. I'll cover my eyes. :P

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I just wish they'd keep her.

Lots of good Gibbs/Tony fodder. :-0

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ship off Ziva, give us someone new.

Or....

Have Callen come here and then start up a nice threesome Callen/Gibbs/Tony.

[kateri-e.livejournal.com]

Tons of Gibbs/Tony fodder, I forsee some interesting summer fic.

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

Yes there was. :-)

And I really want to figure out what the Mossad guy talked to Tony about in the car ride to Mossad-HQ.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I have to say, when they give Michael Weatherly something to do, he nails it. I wish they would give him more material to work with. The scene with him and Ziva's dad was killer.

For a moment, I thought they were going to reveal that Gibbs and Ziva were romantically involved, the way the tone of the 'why do you trust her?' scene was going. Oh, and don't tell me that Gibbs actually believed Ziva wasn't under orders to kill Ari. Gibbs is way savvier than that.

Also, I would like once, just once, when a show taunts at killing off a main character, it actually does. There are only so many times you can put a character in an impossibly dangerous situation and have they get out alive before I expect to see some sort of mutant powers confirmed.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Micheal is AMAZING when given something to do. But yeah, the show underutilized him terribly.

OMG yes. It's just getting annoying.
