NCIS review/picspam 7o20 Moonlighting.
There were a lot of good lines in this episode. The other writers could call these one if they have difficulties with the dialogue.
Aww, they're talking about video games! Tony is interested in McGee's life. And in his health, and his private life, and his social life, and...
"I thought you said 27,000 kills."
"28,000 kills."
"But, yesterday, you said 27,000 kills."
"That was yesterday."
"You killed a thousand people in a day?"
"I was hot. I was super hot. I was cappin' fools."
"It's not a cause for pride, McGee, it's a cause for concern."
No wait, it's better than that. They're continuing a discussion started the day before. Tony willingly participates in a geeky discussion and staying in the know about McGee's game scores. Just like in Mother's Day. With the same worries about his sleeping hours and thinking he looked tired in a quick glance. You remember? "Ah, Timmy. You look a little rough around the edges there. You up all night playing video games again?".
Soon, Tony will analyze McGee's doodle to check if he's sufficiently happy.
"Speaking of causes for concern. Autopsy Gremlin. What are you doing in here? You know what happens if the direct sunlight hits your skin."
"I get a little nervous about...Permanent things. Actually, I can't even put a bumper sticker on my car."
Man, he even knows the places Tim wants to visit. Interesting reactions from Ziva and Palmer.
"Where is this? It looks like the Baltimore Street Scene. McGee, didn't you say you wanted to go to that?"
"I decided not to."
"Did you really make that decision, McGee, or was it made for you by your addiction to killing?" "McGee killed a thousand people yesterday."
"Eh? That is not the record."
Tony's face at Ziva's answer. Another example of Tony against Ziva's taste for violence? Is it in the script or Michael's acting decision?
"On his video game."
"Oh. Is that a record?"
"That's pretty good."
"Thank you, Palmer."
"We're not encouraging this kind of behavior. You spent, like, six hours online last night. You need to unplug, talk to real people."
"Uh, these are real people, Tony."
"Living, breathing people with lungs and skin, you can touch and interact with-- we got to find you one of those. Or you know, me."
How does he know it was six hours? Seriously, he reminds me that:
Buffy: I didn't notice anything. Of course I'm not as hyper-aware of him as, oh, for example, you...
Willow: Hyper-aware?
Buffy: Well, I'm not constantly monitoring his moods, his health, his blood pressure...
Willow: 130 over 80.
Buffy: You got it bad, girl.
Willow: He makes my head go tingly.
Also, more interesting looks from Palmer and Ziva.
"Oh, all right! That is not an appropriate reaction, is it?"
"I know, boss, I'm as shocked as you are, but Ziva invited the Gremlin up here."
"Don't get him wet."
"Words. Use 'em. Helpful words."
"Two? You sure it was two? It wasn't an echo?"
Yay, he got his new toy!
I'm starting to think you have a personal interest in getting McGee away from his games, Tony. (Or, and it's kind of a wildly out of there theory, it's the nature of the game which bother him, if my impression of Tony finding his inner pacifist is actually deliberated from the show.)
"Does your new magical machine tell you how he died, Timothy?"
"Well, it's not much of a noodle-scratcher there, Duck, but I'm gonna say GSW to the head."
"McGee would know-- head shots are his specialty."
"What?"
"Referring to a video game he's been playing way too much."
"That's a surprising bit of editorializing coming from the once and future king of Dorkland."
"Hey, I now have a girlfriend."
"The king is dead. Long live the king."
Oooh, staring! They're actually jumping when Gibbs interrupted them.
Hey, where's the headslap from the promo?
"All right, Tony, let's hook him."
"I believe it's called a gaff."
"What is?"
"Uh, the hook."
"Well, you don't seem to be gaffing very well, so try hooking."
"You know, I used to like spending time with you."
Gibbs signal!
"Saves me a trip to the rooftop to flash the Gibbs Signal."
"You, uh... still investigating those Mob hits?"
"Hence the undercover beard. I'm worried. It gets a little bigger..."
"People are gonna start thinking you're Kenny Rogers."
"The hits... "
"I'm gonna start calling you The Gambler."
"...not the beard."
I love the Gibbs/Fornell scenes.
"It was bad sand; very bad sand. Made me break out in red welts."
"Oh, it wasn't the sand, Mr. Palmer, but the sand mite."
"The sand might what?"
"The sand mite bit you."
"Sand bites?"
"Sand mites might bite."
"I'm grammatically lost."
"But medically found."
Ahaha! Palmer's reaction after his bad joke! Like turning and leaving while keeping an eye on Gibbs.
"Reminds me of middle school, when you get the smart kids to check the dumb kids' homework."
"Yeah, which one were you?"
"And that's because I anointed you king of Dorkland? Fair enough."
Awww, Tony woobie face at having the paper taken away.
"We occasionally use them to verify statements before we get to court."
"Really? You can't just take what career criminals say at face value?"
And now, Fornell is worried about Gibbs's level of caffeine. Does the writer has a problem with taking too much coffee? It's the same writer than Jack Knife, Caffeinated McGee and Worried Tony about Caffeinated McGee. And also put the two couple in the same level of Old Married Couple.
"You had a cup this morning, didn't you?"
"Yeah. Every morning."
"And Judge Wallace bought you one. What is that, your fifth? It's not even 4:00."
Oh McGee. You just can't lie in face of a figure of authority. The two only times he succeed, he did it on the phone and without looking Gibbs in the eyes.
"Thanks for doing it my way."
"Yeah, don't mention it."
"I was being facetious."
"Yeah, me, too."
Seriously Tony, obsession. It's the next episode.
"Then stop acting defensive."
"I'm not acting. I'm genuinely feeling on the defensive. You have a very off-putting way of putting people...You know, off."
Wow, I knew it was coming, and I still jumped at the explosion. Twice.
Nice shot, camera man. Abby vision?
Ahah! No relationship. He really didn't like it. And Fornell knows that Tim is the sweetest of all.
Bwahahaha! Fornell! '...it was his idea!'
"You have a surveillance camera in the conference room now?"
"Hope you don't have one in the elevator."
"We don't. Not yet, at least, Agent Fornell. How can I help you?"
"Need to borrow your TV."
"And my copy of Emily Post. The door was closed."
"I thought you were in MTAC."
"Well, we all make mistakes. That's why God invented knocking."
How come I can love Vance just with his smiles? He could say anything and I'll be still amused. On the other hand, I find Jimmy's jokes funny, I could simply be easy to amuse.
"You sure you don't have a camera in the elevator?"
"When I do, you'll be the first to know, Agent Fornell."
Why are you so worried, Tobias?
Vance's reaction at fate and the harassment! Okay, he's just suspicious, but for a moment it looked like "Yeah, gotta keep her away from him."
Yeah, the tech guys totally planted the bomb.
Fate? Run faster Timmy.
Okay, I didn't think about it, but after reading other reviews, yeah, that was logic fail. Susan is not dead because Gibbs and Fornell took her out, nothing else. A few minutes before, she'd be dead. Even fewer minutes, and Gibbs and Fornell would be dead with her.
"Hmm, someone must've been carrying this for good luck. Wonder if they can get their money back."
No really, I love Jimmy's jokes. I may have thought something in the same vein, but less funny.
"So who's lucky 11?" Matt Smith.
Abby's expression when Tony talks about marriage. It's her "yeah, if you keep staying silent, this day won't be here before a while." face.
Hey, jealous Abby. But she's right. Naive is being nice. Wait, *put tinhat* see, Abby is doing two things there.
1) Protect McGee from bad girlfriends, because he's better at attracting them than spot them.
2) Protect Tony and their possible committed relationship by keeping her away.
See Tony's questioning face.
"I mean, McGee-- he's a capable investigator, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he can be a bit naive."
"Are you talking from experience?"
"That's classified."
Hmm, it's the first time in years that they're talking about McGee and Abby's relationship. And I don't really know what Abby is hiding from Ziva. McGee's mistake was to think Abby and him was serious, not the kind of mistake she's talking (Amanda and Susan). And it's also not really a secret.
So, bad writing, bad foreshadowing, or she's hiding something else? Like, her personal experience says she knows someone is interested in him and he has no idea but she'll stay silent on it? Or she knows he should try men but not ready yet and she definitively keeping this secret?
"Just think about his last girlfriend. She tried to kill him."
"I get it. You're trying to cover McGee, like a protective hen."
"Or an over-protective panther."
Ooh, Abby/Susan fight?
You know, by McGee's expression, he knew Abby would react like that. And would you have done if she didn't and you had to keep Susan in your apartment, huh?
Oh Abby. <3
"I was actually voted "Least Likely to Take a Hint" in high school."
"Really? I can't imagine."
Oh well, you're in good company but still, stay away.
Oh Susan. And here he was starting to think you weren't so bad. All destroyed now. Nice facepalm.
I love you Abby. Don't let it go.
Gibbs doesn't play the remote game.
Bwahaha! Tony's face at "Trust me. I spent half the night up with her."! What? He didn't... He did? Is he thinking about it?
Well, he's running. After asking Gibbs' permission.
"Boss, can I go with Tony instead of Ziva? I'm sorry, it's just, I've been here all night. I got... I'm fighting the cabin fever."
"Go on, get out of here."
"Thanks."
Okay, it was hard to get, but did you see this smile/laugh at the nun line?
"Can I give you some lady advice?"
"I'd rather get a lap dance from a nun, Tony."
Tony, what are you doing? No, he's not really interested in her, stop being selfless. Oh, okay, that's more you. Unless you're trying to hid your sacrifice for his happiness and not let him see your broken heart *dramatic, theatrical pose*.
"I think you should give the girl a chance. You never have. Maybe you should. She's a nice girl."
"That's very adult of you."
"Hmm. It's not me. It's her. Something about her. I can't put my finger on it, but I think she's got a really nice butt underneath those long blouses."
"That is more like it."
Oooh, nice how they moved together.
"That's the janitor, but I don't remember him looking quite so green."
"I actually thought Tim really liked me, and he was just playing hard to get."
"Perhaps he is... And just doesn't know it. You definitely provoke a strong response in him."
"Yeah. The response to run."
Yeah, no Ziva. No means no, if he doesn't want, he doesn't want, there's no secretly want it.
Bingo!
"Fornell and his beard are running contacts"
Hmmm, French Abby. Not sure about the bottom, but I love the top. While I'm thinking about it, when the last time Abby wore a mini-skirt?
"Questions, answers. Wavy lines next to them."
Oh they kept Gibbs not taking the test canon.
Fornell and Vance are having so much fun.
"Wouldn't miss this for the world, huh?"
"He's been dodging this for years."
"Um, if you could just make some room."
"Where are you thinking of clipping that thing?"
"It's for the sphincter sensor."
"Have you ever stolen more than a hundred dollars in cash or property from an employer?"
"That one gets me every time."
Ohoh. Hey, hey, guys, guess what! Gibbs killed someone in Mexico! Just in case you forgot.
Wow, there're really a formula to guess the murderer.
Vigilante, also the word of the year.
Bwahahaha! Jimmy!
"Dear God... someone fed him after midnight."
"I'm late for a squash game."
"Oh, sorry, I gotta get the hell out of here."
"Please, guys, it really itches!"
"That's what girlfriends are for. Okay, I can get the top part..."
"Stay, stay, stay! Stay!"
"No, please, do not..."
"It maybe be actually very contagious."
"I need help."
"I may have to hurt you massively."
"She'll do it."
"I may have to hurt you."
"She'll do it!"
"I would do it for you."
"No, you wouldn't!"
"Yes, I would!"
Tim, what are you doing? Simply listening Tony's argument? The one about the ass, I mean.
Okay, now I can watch Obsession.
Aww, they're talking about video games! Tony is interested in McGee's life. And in his health, and his private life, and his social life, and...

Okay, now I can watch Obsession.
no subject
I think Jimmy's jokes are funny, too. More Jimmy!
Tony's utter fascination with McGee and his habits definitely goes way beyond the boundaries of colleagues/friends. I mean, he's canonically incredibly nosy, but REALLY? He knows how long Tim spent online? He remembers details about his games? He has SOME CONCERNS. (Just tell him you love him, Tony. I promise it won't end badly.)
no subject
Crazy theory based on Tony in Obsession! His reasoning actually went like that: McGee like his girlfriends a lot crazy. Therefore, he tried to emulate them to get his attention.
no subject
Wish we had more episodes like this.
Although, Tim's protectiveness over Abby and the Mexican fed is along the "turn about is fair play" lines. Fabulous!
And I adore your commentary.
Love and cherries,
Wingstar

Abby will ask Ziva's participation, I think. And maybe add a camera. Maybe.

More Jimmy is awesome! Even the cast asked for more Jimmy.

It has fewer pictures, fewer quotes and a lot more rambling but hopefully it still amuses. We noticed a lot of the same things.
I loved your 11th Doctor quip, and thanks for pointing out Tony's laugh at the nun remark, I never noticed.
Great job!
