NCIS 8x22 episode review/comments

[donutsweeper]

Random note: In about 10 seconds, Ducky calls Tony "Anthony" three times.

The mighty mouse stapler!!!!! Tony won it via a pool (second year in a row) given to him by his boss.

Tony planned on being married?!?! And it's his old partner, Danny Price who gave him fashion advice and told him to dress up. "With the right clothes, you'd be unstoppable."

OMG, Tony tells Danny that he proposed to his former high school music teacher, Wendy (who had asked him out) and SHE SAID YES.

"Who'd want to be a Navy cop, I'd rather have the plague" bwhahaha, oh Tony, you shouldn't have said that back in 2001

Rule #35, Always watch the watchers

PACCI!!!!!! And Pacci is the one who researched Tony!

Although... very poor taste for them to have Pacci joke about his ulcer and that his stomach is going to be the death of him.

Tony, you do NOT turn your back to the open door!!!!

Oooh, nice way of bringing everything together.

Awww, Tony. Danny's a dirty cop, what a betrayal.

Rule #5 You don't waste good

And Gibbs quotes Butch Cassidy!!!

Ummm... so what happened to Tony's fiancé?


And two new rules, so I've updated the rules list, so we now have either 24 or 26 of the 51 rules (depending what you think about the two different #1 and #3 rules).

I loved, loved, loved it--and the Butch Cassidy quote in particular.

And yeah, I thought the plague part was funny, but the Pacci part was a bit much.

But still--I loved it.

I loved it too. So, so much. :)

I really wish they'd give good stuff to Michael Weatherly more often, because he can really pull it off when he has something to work with.

I knew they'd somehow manage to connect Gibbs to Tony's story, but they didn't make it about him (or Ziva) and that pleases me.

I'm glad you didn't know what happened to Wendy either, I wondered if it was another continuity joke I didn't get (I find they sometimes bring back people or ideas from waaaay back and act like everyone should know what they're talking about). Maybe we'll find out in the future. I don't remember Pacci.

I think they did a good job of aging down Gibbs, but not so much Tony. Although, ten years a bigger different when you're younger than older, I think. Like, you age a lot between 20 and 30, but not as much between 40 and 50.

Pacci appeared in a few episodes in S1 before being killed off and his murder being the focus of episode 1x19, "Dead Man Talking." He's also mentioned in a few episodes.

2001 Tony... They did try. I'm not sure I'd buy him being mid 20s or whatever 10 years younger from today was supposed to be, but he did look at least somewhat younger. I thought dying the hair/eyebrows didn't help much though and was just distracting.

Ah, I just read up on Pacci and I now understand why the joke was in poor taste, but I still have no memory of him, even though I'm certain I saw those episodes. I also couldn't figure out all of last season if I was suppose to know who Colonel Bell was. Everyone was acting like they'd dealt with him before but I couldn't remember him.

Yeah, I get that they were trying to match him up to earlier seasons, hair-wise, but I don't think Tony's hair was ever that black, was it?

MW's hair was darker, it's almost blond now(dirty blond, but blond), but it definitely wasn't black/dark brown.

Here are some shots from his Dark Angel days, which aired 2000-2002
