It popped up outta nowhere last season. Apparently his father was military, probably a pilot with the Alameda and previous reference. There was a line in (whatever the ep was with the kid that found the gun) about his father being "The Great Santini".

Ah, thanks. I didn't remember that. It doesn't fit at all with what I thought of McGee's background (from when Sarah was introduced)

Nope. That plus the fact that he knew so little about military life when he first started. Then there's the whole thing about him being a Super!Scout when he *twice* stumbled into poison ivy horrifically.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... canon compliance and NCIS don't really go hand in hand, does it?

The poison ivy thing bugged me QUITE a bit.

I hadn't heard about that, either. huh.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently it was randomly introduced last season sometime *shrugs* who knew?

[identity profile] adafrog.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever. *rolls eyes*

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-22 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that totally just came out of nowhere.

But, then, I was a bit too busy noticing how fit Tim's gotten, lately, to shake my fist at them for that.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-22 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently (points up) it was mentioned last season. Which contradicts everything we've previously learned about him, but, oh well.

And yes, may I say his shirt was tight in *all* the right places

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I was a happy little bunny watching it. Although I've never managed goggles that'll let me slash McGee with anyone.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he just doesn't really work with anyone in that way.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I feel a bit guilty about that. I've read the occassional Tim/Tony that semi works if I think of them ooc. But Gibbs/Tim is just.. *shudders*

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I feel he's just too young to be slashed with Gibbs. It's more of a father and son sort of relationship, anyway.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
wow, there's a 26 year difference in dob of the actors. Mark Harmon is 1951 and Sean Murry is 1977. wow. ick

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
I find it somewhat amusing that Sean Murray is actually older than my oldest brother. Only by a year, but, still, I really thought he was younger.

Now I feel bad for thinking my brother looks older...

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

I still think it's hilarious that he was in Hocus Pocus back in the day.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
I don't remember that.

I do vaguely remember MW in "Loving" though. He was so young

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
He was the cat. I swear to god.

I mostly remember him from Dark Angel. I loved that show.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
S1 Dark Angel in particular. OMG the glasses. The Scruff. SO SEXY

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
GUH is all that comes to mind. and maybe DROOL

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That show was just full of pretty.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
S1 much moreso than S2 but either way OMG yes

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's one of those shows where the second season just didn't live up to the first.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
God yes. It really seemed like the network execs kept going- okay we like your show but it needs a little something.. what if we try X? Hmmm, that didn't work. Now let's try Y. Hmmm, what about Z?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been the downfall of many a show

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If only there were a network out there that didn't have to rely on executives.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
some seem to get it right though... USA for one.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Very true. And at least we have something new from them to watch tonight.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
White Collar! I'm stupidly excited about it.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm getting pretty excited myself, now. I've been watching some of the clips and previews.

Not to mention, I really like his hats.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
ISn't he just sexy as hell in them? There's already a main comm [livejournal.com profile] whitecollar_tv and a shippy one [livejournal.com profile] caffrey_burke.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Some people just can't pull those off, but he most definitely can, and should be encouraged to do so.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
He's handsome as all hell. And the clothes they have him in! *sighs happily*

But then again, I've liked him since his Guidling Light days back in 2001 and 2002

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I sadly don't think I've actually seen him in anything before this.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I never watched Chuck, so I didn't see him on there. I tried to watch "Traveler" but it was pretty bad. And I hated "Tru Calling" but I did watch a few of the episodes with him on it.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-24 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
I watched probably three episodes of Tru Calling, and I honestly don't remember if he was in them, which is probably a good indication that he was not.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-10-24 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
He was only in S2? Or something? I thought the show was terrible overall.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-10-25 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wasn't particularly impressed.
