Minor NCIS and NCIS:LA comment

[donutsweeper]

Tony never heard of Doctor Who? I liked the reference by McGee, but although Tim should have know better to call him "Doctor Who" instead of "The Doctor."

Tim: Wow, this is like the TARDIS

Tony: Tard-what?

Tim: It's the contraption Doctor Who that travels through time in

Tony: Doctor Who? Who the hell watches that.

And it was nice to see NCIS:LA make mention that Macy had been in charge earlier.

Wow, Kensi kicks butt.

It's mostly a Classic Who vs. New Who thing. Like I said, even though the character never called himself "Doctor Who", there were other things, not just the credits but things like the question marks on his clothes through multiple regenerations that made that an acceptable reference. And if you really want to get into it, Peter Cushing's portrayal, for instance, did refer to himself as "Doctor Who".
