NCIS Picspam/Review 8x07 Broken Arrow

I think Michael tried to break Sean's record of funny faces in an episode.

Awww, geeking out at Ziva's passport!

"McGee! Look what was waiting for me when I got home last night."
"Your passport?"
"My United States of America passport."
"Ziva, congratulations. God, that's great. Can I-- can I peek?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, see, that is unfair. No one's passport picture should look this good."
"You think?"
"Yeah. I mean, where'd you have it taken, a photo studio?"
"No. A booth at the Post Office."
"Hey, Tony! Look what Ziva got."
"Congratulations. I'll alert the media."

That was a short squadroom scene.

Hmm, Tony, were you going to start something? After McGee point Tony's advice/order wasn't necessary, he's starting to go to him but is interrupted by Ziva.

"Make a note, would you, to have Abby check for trace evidence?"
"Uh, yeah, thanks for that, Tony. I would have done it anyway."

Bwahahaha! I love when the boys pulled rank on Ziva, she's the probie! McGee must love that, he was expecting this since she arrived in the team.

And I think they didn't plan that, but had the same idea in the same time, the way McGee look Tony when he said he was the Senior agent and how Tony look sideways when McGee started to talk.

"Someone's going to have to go through this. This is disgusting."
"Last time I checked, I was senior field agent."
"It's too bad we don't have a probationary agent with us."
"But we do!"
"You're going to pull rank on me?"

And poor Ziva who still thinks McGee will be on her side after Tony's use of the Senior excuse for the nth time :)

You know what could be interesting? McGee pulling rank on her for no humorous/funny reason. In a tense scene, because Gibbs and Tony are not there and is the next on the list. The dynamic could be interesting, if he manage to give her an order, if she obey easily, if she resist, if he can be commanding with her...

Heee, Gibbs rearranging Ducky's bowtie after noticing something is wrong! So cute!
Bwahahaha! Ducky's reaction at McGee's interruption!

Oh oh, McGee saw something interesting...

"All right, I got a hit. 15100 1st Street, Northeast. Mid-Atlantic Trailways bus station."
"This is worse than I thought. My father... at a bus station?"

*sigh* I really want to see McGee leave the computer.

Nice, Mark/Gibbs nodding to someone outside the door. Probably nobody during filming, but suggest a guard in show.

"Anthony DiNozzo, the name I totally don't know?"

Man, Senior almost look scared to see his son there.

"I don't expect, uh, special treatment because I'm Junior's father, and I accept that you and I will never be friends, Gibbs... but I don't like your tone."

Well, tough.

"We were kind of hoping to hear your version of why Junior got expelled from boarding school."
"In your wildest dreams, McGee."

So, there's a different version of the expulsion of Tony?

Ouch. Sorry Tony. Stop loling at his pain, Gibbs.

Huh, that's rare, McGee taking Tony's side against Abby. Well, now I want to see Tony taking McGee's side against Abby.

"I just think Tony is too judgmental of his father."
"Well, Abbs, Tony didn't have a normal childhood. I mean, Senior wasn't exactly Cliff Huxtable."

"No, I know, but Mr. D's getting older now-- I think he's trying to make up for his mistakes. Tony's lucky... he still has a father. I mean... I wish mine were alive. I would forgive him for anything."

Abby's dad is dead? :( Is there something to forgive him for, or did she just say that like that?

"Color me confused."
"Yeah, color me, too. I just Googled the 310 number, got the home page of a Beverly Hills wellness center. They specialize in colonics and herbal enemas."
"Ew."

Ewww.

"Checking up on me?"
"No. I just wanted to talk to you without your son being on the other side of the glass."

Okay, the guy nobody saw in years but still taking bad decisions, it's a lot like Dead Reckoning. The guy is probably dead or in the coma and someone is using his name.

Well, he's a civilian, so Tony's got a point.

Good work Timmy! Look how proud Gibbs is!

"Well, when in doubt, try the Internet."

(Was the civilian-run agency comment written in answer to the complains of the diminution of the military presence in NCIS from the fans?)

Nice, Gibbs standing with Vance.

"I've been unable to obtain the guest list, but, uh, there is a video security system in the house connected to the Internet. I think I can hack into it."
"I've got faith in you, Tim."

Oh God. Poor Tony. Call Ziva mommy, it'll make it funnier. "Mom? Can I go play with Timmy? I finished my homework." "Mom! Abby's bothering me again!"

"I got another agent in mind. One who speaks a bunch of languages and looks a lot better in a dress."

That's a lot of money.

"Uh, Anthony DiNozzo, Sr. is not only staying in a $1,500-a-night suite, he's also running up a huge tab. Spa treatment, manicure, room service, French champagne, and I just got a call, he's ordered a limousine for tonight."
"Guess you haven't got the bill for the flowers yet?"

"Are you out of your mind? You don't bring a personal tailor up to your room. Dad, come on! This is a-- Wow, that's soft."
"Pure cashmere. 100% virgin."

Gibbs, Ducky is trying to ask you to a date.

Nutter Butter is back! Bet you it's against all the complains about his weight.

...okay, I have to tell you that my subtitles decided Tony's describing these moans as orgasmically. It goes really well with Tim's smile at that. No wonder Tony's always buying him Nutter Butter (cf. Guilty Pleasure.).

"Mmm, mmm, mmm! Nutter Butter."
"This is surreal. I feel like I'm in a James Bond movie directed by Fellini. On a stakeout, watching my father and Ziva go undercover, while you munch orgasmically on a Nutter Butter."

"Name is Julie Merriweather. President of Merriweather Associates. It's a Beltway PR firm."
Betlway? Like the blogger killed in S7?

"Hey, Tony, I think you just got a glimpse of your next stepmother."
"That's very funny, McGee."

Ohoh.

Nice! A mention of her life outside work and other friends, and a nice kiss.

For once, Ziva, obey.

Bwahaha!

Boys show their badges before coming in.

*snort* Vance going to Tony and backing up at "Senior!"

"Director, gentlemen, I have a serious problem with Anthony DiNozzo."
"What?"
"He's absolutely out of control."
"Senior!"

Poor Fred.

AWWWWW!

"We're DiNozzos. We don't communicate well."
"We used to, you know. A long time ago. Sometimes I wish we could rewind to the last time we had a normal father-son relationship."
"When was that?"
"It was a fishing trip. It was just before Mom died. You probably don't remember. Dad, it's... it's okay. I mean, I..."
"I look at that picture every morning. It's one of my fondest memories, too."

And now I'm going to ignore spoilers and interview. Someone up there has decided of a marketing direction making the episodes look different than what we have and catering to one part of the fanbase. It was starting to hurt my enjoyment of the show and Ziva (kind of what you feel for the teacher's pet.). Staying at some limited threads in the CBS forum (because a lot of people there don't care about spoiling people) is not easy, but I must admit I'm feeling better since.

I won't see Enemies Foreign before tomorrow, so please, no spoilers.

First: this episode was beautifully shot. Just look at them all! They are all gorgeous, especially Tony. (Even if I think Robert Wagner occasionally looks like Toad of Toad Hall.) Lovely pictures. :D

You know what could be interesting? McGee pulling rank on her for no humorous/funny reason. In a tense scene, because Gibbs and Tony are not there and is the next on the list. The dynamic could be interesting, if he manage to give her an order, if she obey easily, if she resist, if he can be commanding with her...

I'd love to see that. It would be really fascinating to see where they went with it.

(Was the civilian-run agency comment written in answer to the complains of the diminution of the military presence in NCIS from the fans?)

There have been complaints? Really? I keep forgetting there's an entire world of NCIS fandom I know nothing about. I am so parochial!

Betlway? Like the blogger killed in S7?

Beltway is a geographical term in DC. It describes Washington and the bits of Maryland and Virginia that are close to the capital. It's often used in a political context. So a Beltway firm will mostly have some links to something political. As far as I know.

No spoilers from me. I always avoid pre-episode spin myself--it can be such a let down or such a misdirection, there's no point.

I loved the double teaming Ziva. "But we do!" It was great.

And Hell! SM and MW do make like five million funny faces. But I still love them.

With the way SM was eating that Nutter Butter you'd think it was the first he'd had since he started dieting. Poor SM.

This was great. We're going to need coke bottle Tim/Tony goggles at the rate this season is going. I loved that one episode last season with jealous!McGee, but I just haven't seen it all that much without your help.

Keep it up!

oh, god, he's so skinny <3
thanks for sharing <3

and here's something for you to laugh about: my grandma pronounces it NCIS. no, not en-see-eye-ess, en-sis. She's like "they say it like that on the show!" and we're like "NO THEY DON'T" but she won't listen. She's like "I was watching en-sis, and..." and we're like "FIOEAJR"

Nutter buuuttter face! I laughed so hard and from that point on, I was looking forward to your picspams even more. =]

Gibbs fixing Ducky's tie was so cute. I hated it when Gibbs ignored Ducky's invitation later in the show, though. Poor Duck.

Thanks again for sharing this! ♥

Haha, I lol'ed so much reading this one! Probably my favorite picspam yet!

The Beltway is actually a road. A major highway in the local area to be exact. The Capital Beltway loops around in a large circle and in the center is DC.

The dynamic could be interesting, if he manage to give her an order, if she obey easily, if she resist, if he can be commanding with her...

Do you, uh, need a minute there? ;)

Nutter Butter is back! Bet you it's against all the complains about his weight.

All hail the return of the Nutter Butters! And I will take that bet. I bet that it's a slight nod back to Guilty Pleasure and how it represents Tony's love for Tim.

...okay, I have to tell you that my subtitles decided Tony's describing these moans as orgasmically.

LMAO! I like to think that the only thing blocking Tony's enjoyment of Tim's orgasmic moaning was watching his father and Ziva. Had it been anybody else, there would have been sex in the van.

Yes. That is the Capital Beltway. However, Beltway is also used to describe what I already described. It's like when we talk about the M4 corridor in Britain. We're not talking about the road, but the area surrounding it and the companies that are built close to it for easy road access. Gibbs could totally be saying 'this firm is near the I-495, but it's more likely he's using it in the context I said.

I want to see McGee out in the action a bit more. Is it just me or was he seeing more fieldtime and badassery BEFORE the diet? BOO, writers! Give us badass McGee!

Loved them both pulling rank on Ziva. Just the way that their faces both lit up at the realization 'we don't have to do the grunt work' and they got that evil grin that they give each other all the time in the bedroom... And I'm with you, I'd like to see McGee seriously pull rank on her as well, especially if it turns out he's right and she's wrong. Their dynamic has always been a more clear cut brother/sister kind of thing, but if he had to go all 'I am the senior agent here, listen to me probette' on her, it could get messy. But McGee should know his work enough that he can tell what should be done in a situation. Ziva may have come a long way, but her instincts still skew towards Mossad agent over NCIS federal agent. Her first reaction could still end up being the wrong action just as easily as the right one.

I think this was the first we'd heard of Abby's Dad being dead. I'm guessing here, I think she lost him young and didn't really get to know him, hence why she's such a daddy's girl with Gibbs. And she's idealized her father in her mind so that he would be like Gibbs. Tony and Tim, though, got the short stick in the fatherly lotto, so they're both bitter about the matter.

You know, now I REALLY want to meet Tim's Dad - isn't he an Admiral or some other kind of high muckety-muck? C'mon, show, let's see this.

...I need to go out and buy Nutter Butters now.

Oh, as always, I enjoy your review. And I think your idea to stay away is wise. I don't move much around English fandom anymore for the same reason.

Can't wait for your next review!!

I want to see McGee out in the action a bit more. Is it just me or was he seeing more fieldtime and badassery BEFORE the diet? BOO, writers! Give us badass McGee!

I call it the Season 7 effect. S7 was full of badass McGee.

So... shouldn't that mean that we need to be continuing the trend of badass McGee instead, y/y?

I'd love to see that. It would be really fascinating to see where they went with it.

Strangely, I think she'll take an order from McGee more easily than from Tony. There's no competition between them.
There is a regular comment from some Anti Tiva that McGee/Ziva makes more sense than Tony/Ziva because it's obvious McGee and Ziva like each other whereas Tony and Ziva go often over the line and hurt each other. I kind of agree with that. I can't see Ziva and McGee fight like Tony and her did in Aliyah for example.

There have been complaints? Really?

Yeah, the Naval part of NCIS really diminished in the past seasons. The dead petty officer is almost an after thought sometimes, and the respect/mention the army got before is different. Mostly because Bellisario was a Marine and Brennan...not.

And I just realised it mean Sean (and his family) went from a Navy dad to a Marine step-dad.

The way the spoilers are done right now makes no sense. They piss off those tired of Tiva and the Ziva centric attention and they piss off the Tiva fan with the fake hopes. Maybe they're trying to destroy the attention to spoilers to slip better surprises.

Thank!

I can easily see Sean and Michael having a funny faces contest. During someone's else take.

Thank :D Funny grandma :)

And the actor(victim) has to try and keep their act together. lol. I so see that going down

Thank you!

Ducky didn't seem to be too much bothered. I'll find someone else to go with him, like the other times :D

:D Thank you!

I'm purely friendship with McGee and Ziva :D But I'm all for McGee in dominant mode, like in Caged.

It's such a Tony/McGee thing!

LMAO! I like to think that the only thing blocking Tony's enjoyment of Tim's orgasmic moaning was watching his father and Ziva. Had it been anybody else, there would have been sex in the van.

That's why Tim looked so cheeky. He knew perfectly well the effect he had on Tony.

Action Timmy depend of the writer. Stern is good at that, mostly because he likes writing McGee. And now he is on twitter, maybe someone could ask him.

The feeling of Abby's dad being dead started to be really obvious in Silent Night but it's barely touch usually. I guess the dads of every one coming back is waking up something she buried.

With all the daddy issue in the show, I hope McGee's dad is not a bad one. More Gibbs like. Gary Glasberg took note of the lack of McGee Senior and said he'll think about that, so maybe next year...

Thank you!

Yeah, I have to be selective in the places to stay. What I like or don't like doesn't fit in the big cliques so frustration is guarantee one way or another. But I like reading discussions of the show...

Probably Cote, she's their favorite target :)

Yeah, that would be funny, but I would love for them to try it with Mark. That would be priceless.

I loved that episode I was affraid it was going to be too much Tony/Ziva but I didn't find it that way in the end XDD. And the scenes with Tony and McGee were so cute and funny! first talking at the same time and then the orgasmic comment xD
