I'm hooked!
Between Gibbs head slaps , Abbie, Duckie, and what I call, the "Zeva-isms".

I will start the discussion with the "elephant-in-the-room" question.

How does Gibbs get his boats out of his basement?

And, a Zeva-ism -

Zeva - "Like shoot fish in a pond."

Unfamiliar 3rd party agent - "It's, 'Like shooting fish in a barrel'."

Zeva - "What would fish be doing in a barrell?"
:p

    I don't want to spoil your party...but after the last episode - Duckie might be a dead Duckie

    And - you forgot to mention the new foil addition - Jaime Lee Curtis

      Not spoiling the party.

      Damn shame about Duckie. I'll miss him.

      And, I find Jaime Lee a refreshing addition as well as a fascinating character.
      (And her looks don't hurt either).

      Yes, Abby is an enigma.
      She's kinky, maybe...
      On one hand she appears to be about 15 years old emotionally.
      But, then she will say, or do something that makes you think twice.
      And, obviously, the dog collars and tats imply something totally different.

      Her genius and her relationship with Gibbs...

        One of my favorite shows. The characters are all so interesting in their own way.

        Will Tony and Zeva EVER hook up? Probably when the show goes off, but even
        then I'm not sure. The tension between them is great.

        Gibbs has so many demons that he has to wrestle with every single day. I don't
        know how he does it.

        Will they ever go back to the Leon story. It's obvious that he's not who they
        think he is. Will they ever find out or will they just drop it? I hope not.

        Will Gibbs and Jamie ever hook up? Jury is still out on that one.

        Is Ducky dead? I hope not. I always liked Macallum going all the way back to
        UNCLE.

        Will there ever be another NCIS/NCIS LA crossover? I love that show too and
        it's season finale was amazing.

        Richard Schiff, who I loved in West Wing, is brilliant in this role as Harper
        Deering. I hope he stays on for a while.

        And finally, who dies in that explosion? Tony and Zeva are probably going to
        be stuck in the elevator. Magee looked like he got hit bad.

        Now I have to wait until September or October to find out what happened.

        And STILL no Dr. Who!

          I think NCIS and Criminal Minds have done a great job of character development along the way - and I enjoy all the characters in those shows.
          I also like NCIS LA.

            Criminal Minds probably loses Paget Brewster if the season finale is any indication.

            Great show. Their best episode was when Hotchner lost his wife to that maniac.
            What a way to make a 100th episode.

          NCIS: LA is a close 2nd.
          'G' will get out of his predicament somehow. But, if they lose Hedi, it will be the shows "Jump-The-Shark" moment.

          Maybe there'll be room in this thread for both shows but, I don't think so.
          We'll see.

          Unfortunately, Ducky looked pretty dead. (I want to know Macallums secret! He's got to be 80).

          I think Gibbs' team will all survive. I don't think they would lose Ducky and a team member.

          I wasn't crazy about Jenny. And, I don't like Vance. But, I'd kill for the Ali - Liston photo he has on his wall.

          I get the distinct impression that Jaime Lee may be the one the writers have been looking for as far as a long term interest for Gibbs.

          Man! I'm glad I started this thread. I really had no idea what of response it would get.

            Oh, my - I have definitely missed some recent episodes. I will be heartbroken if we lose any characters, especially Dr. Mallard. I haven't even seen Jamie Lee Curtis on the show yet.

            I'll have to go see if I can download the most recent season from Netflix.

            NCIS is one of my favorites but life has been so insane that I've not been able to watch too much television.

            I also love Criminal Minds and we definitely lose Paget Brewster, although they left it open enough to bring her back. She's my least favorite character so I don't care that much. I don't really care for the new blonde, though, but maybe she'll grow on me.

    As for the NCIS/LA crew - The thing with "G" looks like a ruse - they shot that guy in front of a camera to put him underground (and not the 6ft kind) Like the season ending of "The Mentalist" - they want it to look like G went mental...(imo)

    Hetty and that new boss (Miguel Ferrer, who is very good at playing someone you hate - even if he is George Clooney's cousin) have a back-story...I always thought her character was a bit odd - but then, at 4'9, Linda Hunt has always looked for characters larger than life.

      Doubt it. Otherwise, why Hedi's resignation? That was done with nobody around. If it's a ruse, no point to her resigning.

      No, I think The Chameleon is dead. What happens to G is anybody's guess. Granted he will get out of it because I doubt the show will go on without him, but how he does needs to be seen.

        I concurr.

        Hedi can't go!
        The show couldn't last without her.
        I love the mysterious power she has accumulated over the years.
        She has power and connections that go beyond her superiors.
        She may bow to their immediate threats and demands but, when push comes to shove, she's nobody to f*ck with!

    Just a note for anyone who may not know.

    3 or 4 days a week the USA channel shows NCIS reruns all day.

      Ah! You needed to make that distinction NCIS will soon encompass every show on CBS - like "Law and Order" on NBC :rolleyes:

    OK. Back on track.

    I have a deep appreciation of Tony's appreciation and knowledge of old movies.
    And, despite popular opinion, I think his impersonations are pretty good.
    Especially his Sean Connery.

    He's a man of my own heart.

    OH... he also has a GREAT interrogation technique.

    I would liken Tony and Zeva's relationship to Pierce and "Hot-lips" Hoolihan on M.A.S.H.

      For those of you who have been watching NCIS from the beginning, if you
      recall, in one episode Kate asks Gibbs "What did Ducky look like when he was
      young?" Gibbs replied "like Illya Kuriakan."

      That was one of those "This one's for you fans of David McCallum" moments
      that just make you smile from ear to ear. I was a big Man From UNCLE fan as
      a 7 year old. One of my favorite shows from back in the day. I even bought
      that UNCLE toy set that had the badges and the gun and all the other
      paraphernalia that went with it.

    I was watching an early episode of NCIS last night.
    When Kate was still on the show.
    It was cool to see how the characters have grown and developed over the years.
    Tony's hair was longer and combed straight back. Not quite high enough to be a pompador but close. And, he was wearing a turtle-neck sweater.
    McGee wasn't quite as "nerdy", and Abby wasn't quite as Goth or excitable.

    Oh...
    And I also thought I'd share this;

    I tried to find clips of my favorite DiNozzo but they wouldn't play.

    So, here they are.

    1. When Tony turns the tables on Eli, Ziva's dad, in the interrogation and, by driving him crazy with his 'smart-ass' attitude gets Eli to admit that he assigned Rivkin to use Ziva to spy on NCIS.

    2. Tony and Ziva are posing as married assasins. Ziva takes the leader to get the CD from their hotel room leaving Tony tied to a chair with his captor left to kill him.
    Tony knocks the guy down with the chair and Gibbs, Ziva and McGee enter the room, Tony's sitting on the guy kicking the sh*t out of him.

      Ah yes, I remember them well. 1 was what, about 2 years ago? The other one
      I think was around the same time. A lot of the seasons are starting to blur

    OK. Trivia time.

    Why did Dinozzo get kicked out Cub Scouts?

    This is an easy and obvious one.
    Just requires a little imagination and thinking like Tony.

      I honestly don't remember, but knowing Tony it had something to do with
      starting a fire or chasing after girls or reenacting a scene from Friday the 13th.

        Close, but no cigar.

    I really hope the duck man is not dead. He is an integral part of the entire team ranging from Gibbs, and all the way down to Jimmy Palmer. Who would they get to replace him that would have the kind of social interaction with the rest of the team like Ducky did? One possibility is Torri Higginson, shes been on the show a few times filling in for Ducky. Like when he was stabbed and as well as her intro role on the case where the lady was killing her husbands with the Mercury in the brain. Also somewhere in there she played a few minutes when the good DR was accused of war crimes and was seen comforting him.

    As for Gibbs Boat(s). Got only knows. For the longest time I thought he just build them and took them apart and then built them again. Until the episode in the LA harbor where one washed up from Mike Franks shoot out with Col. Bells Men. So he obviously has to get them out somehow. Maybe he builds them gets everything to size. Then carrys them out and reassembles them outside piece by piece for the final construction.

    A classic "Zeva-ism:

    The team is investigating a murder on a top secret Navy ship that is not listed in the Navy logs.

    Tony: This is a "black ship".
    Zeva: A "black sheep"
    Tony: Yes. It means they don't exist.
    Zeva: Yes they do. I've seen one.

    In answer to the question, "Will Gibbs and Ryan ever hook up?"...
    It's a done deal.
    Right before they leave Gibbs house in the morning:
    Gibbs: "I think we did alright last night."
    Ryan: "Well, Practice makes perfect".

    What does this mean for Ducky?

    From the NCIS FB page;
    Brian Dietzen, who plays Jimmy Palmer, will be getting much more screen time next season after his promotion to series regular!
