NCIS

[donutsweeper]

New canon!

Tony's mom died when he was 8!

And he was left in Maui when he was 12.

They obviously have a strained relationship and barely talk, Tony didn't even know about his father's most recent marriage.

Gibbs: Tony likes to hide behind the face of a clown but he is the best young agent I've ever worked with.

Then Gibbs tells Daddy dearest about Tony having the plague! Dad didn't know!!!

Dad: I should tell you to piss off, but I do know Junior thinks the world of you, so I'll keep this civil... Do you have children Agent Gibbs?

Gibbs: Had. A daughter. But unfortunately I didn't get to know her as an adult. You have that opportunity, do it.

NEW RULE!!! Rule #6 NEVER SAY YOUR SORRY! (I updated my "Gibbs' Rules" list)

And his dad is completely broke!!

Dad calls him "Junior!" And Tony calls his father "Sir"

Aww, it ends with the dad telling Tony he loves him.

Then is scene with Tony and Gibbs sharing a steak!! At Gibbs' house!! Tony brought the beer. And they both pull out their knives (Rule #9!) to cut it!

And Gibbs saw right through Tony trying to con his dad. Awww.

Wish Tony had brought up the fact that Dad didn't realize that he had left Tony in Maui until Dad got the room service bill.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was hoping to see that scene too!

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

when did Dad lose his money?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

They didn't specify. Tony wondered if it had happened years and years ago.

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

could be.

I can update my pillows now! Yay! Sorry was an unknown #....

And yay for new canon!

I'm so in love with this ep. So in love.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yes!! I was thrilled to find out sorry was an actual rule and not just a vague saying!

I was SO thrilled with the episode. I had set the bar VERY low and expected to be disappointed and embarrassed, but it was wonderful.

And the scene between Gibbs and DiNozzo, Sr.? SO PERFECT. Gibbs admitted to seeing through Tony's masks and how great an agent he is and Sr got his feathers all ruffled.

I'm just glad they didn't give it #5 because that would have screwed with my story I wrote about the Fifth Rule. ;-)

I really loved the Tony and Gibbs interactions throughout the show. It was perfect. And Tony's reaction to his dad was perfect too. I would LOVE to listen to commentary on this episode, especially if it was MW and RW or MW and MH or MW by himself... OR MW, MH AND RW.... *nods* :-)

adslkjalsa MUST SEE THIS EPISODE ASAP YES

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YES!!! You totally must!

[xanthe.livejournal.com]

It was a wonderful ep that totally did justice to Tony's back story! I loved it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Didn't it just fit seamlessly with preestablished canon and how Tony and his dad should be? It was perfect!

[xanthe.livejournal.com]

YES! I was amazed that they got it SO right when usually they get this stuff SO wrong! ANd it fitted perfectly with Tony's canon and yet was also an amazingly fresh twist on how Tony's dad should be - I haven't read anything like it in fanfic. I completely loved what they did with it. Far better than I expected, given their recent lousy form ;-)

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

So much yay. I loved the last scene SO MUCH.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh YES, that scene was AMAZING

[butch16423.livejournal.com]

i think Tony defaults everything to the age of 10

mother dressed him in sailor suit until he was 10(frame up)

left in Maui (episode when the dad was abducted while the kid was on the merry go round)

boarding school 10 (kid carson aka mini tony- and the magnum PI bed)

even poo boy was at 10 years of age - Silver wars

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

That is true about Tony. And he does like to spin a good yarn or two, we never know what exactly is the truth and what is made up in what he says.

[little-ozzo.livejournal.com]

We have new canon and I love it! It's so very, very angsty (and awesome)! I'm actually, and I didn't know this was possible, running out of words to express how much I loved it, and everything I liked!

New rules! :-D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:) Isn't it great to have an NCIS episode where we feel that way?

[little-ozzo.livejournal.com]

That might be my favourite thing about the episode - that so many people seem so happy about it!

Also, Tony calling his dad "Sir" - I love that so much, for some reason. :-)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I loved that last scene. ADORABLE.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

How comfortable Tony felt in Gibbs' home? Just walked right in with the beer and tossed the pillow to the side at sat? The clinking of beers?

YES

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And how Tony is totally ready with the knife and plate when Gibbs pulls the steak off the grill.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Can't look. Can't look. Can't LOOK.

We only finally get to 'Flesh and Bone' next Friday.

Come squee when you've seen it! You'll love it!
