Minor NCIS and NCIS:LA comment

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.

Nate's all cuddly and cute

He's a wonderful Papa Bear for the LA team, isn't he?

I loved the episode (one before last I think) where he debated pulling G, that things were getting too close to the heart for him. He hit it all (the concern and whatnot) just perfectly

I love the chats he has with Heddy in that one.

She kept trying to get him to see the bigger picture and he was just all worried and concerned

I like how, instead of getting all upset about him considering going to the director, she just calmly pointed out the benefit of letting Callen stay on the case.

She is SO much better than Macy was. Lord, Macy made no sense

I'm quite glad they replaced her.

And her 'secret history with Gibbs' made me want to throw things

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
They use Gibbs' past in that manner way too often.

It was also factually incorrect for previously presented canon.

NCIS bugs the crap out of me for its inability to keep canon straight

And I have little hope for NCIS: LA doing any better.

They've already borked the math with G's foster homes. I can't remember the numbers now, but it averaged as 5 mths per home or something and Nate had said the 4 mths G spent in the russian girl's home was the longest ever

Math is obviously not the NCIS crew's strong suit.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
it really really isn't.

I have very low expectations for G's reveal. What they've teased out of his history makes NO SENSE

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm not exactly looking forward to that.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I have no expectation that SB planned it out ahead of time or anything sensible like that.

The whole "G? That's not a name!' "That's all anyone's ever told me." proves that

Few shows do such logical things as plan ahead, these days.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
which is a damn shame. I mean no one is ever going to plan like JMS did for Babylon 5, but three seconds of forethought would be nice upon occasion

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
why it has to be so damn rare boggles my mind

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I feel not enough of these people are making shows from a fan's perspective.
