NCIS Picspam and review 8x08 Enemies Foreign

Watching Merlin in French. Can't get used to Uther's voice.

That's modern.

Photobucket

"What's NCIS?"
"I can't believe some people have never heard of us."

"Still won't keep you hacky types from stealing my numbers from the matrix, anyway."
"That's right. You should still be terrified of my kind."

"A would-be artisan went for my wallet once in Rome."
"How'd it turn out for the borseggiatore?"
"You need to get the device closer to their wallets, all right? You realize a 22-year-old girl had this mastered."
"People mature much faster these days, McGee."
"Yeah, present company excluded."

"Also can't be sure that Gibbs will be swilling coffee when we get back to the office or you'll fumble a simple American expression or that McGee will sleep alone tonight, but people do tend to follow patterns."

That's your punishment for mocking him, Timmy. Tony's not afraid to threaten with the couch in public!

Come on, Ziva, already? Just because she flirted with Tony?

"Liat. Liat. It's like music."
"In Hebrew, it means "you are the one for me," Tony."
"My name roughly translates to "two parts of a leg.""
"Liat is one of the most common names in Israel."
"Where only the grandmothers are named Ziva."

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

New Ziva is direct. I think Tony likes.

"You left me!" …No Ziva, you sent him away and went alone to Saleem. Then Gibbs sent Malachi away when he comes to NCIS to bring you back.

"Tourists have their passports scanned, they don't carry firearms and clearly this is the new Ziva. In Mossad. Your replacement."
"Did you expect we would never move on after you left us?"
"You left me."
"Let's not get hung up on who's left, who's right and who's wrong. Let's get back to the original question."

"Still, I feel this, uh, measuring contest would be more at home in the men's room. Don't you think?"

I like Liat.

Photobucket
Photobucket
'I swear, it's this big!'
'Huh.'
Photobucket

Yeah, McGee in the morgue! Can always count on Jess to take him away from the computer.

"You're fluent in chicken scratch. Perhaps you can make out this scrawl."

"Pirates do like rum." Hee.

Photobucket
Photobucket

"I mean, with our mystery smugglers and our Mossad operatives in their dark clothing, sticking to the shadows."
"Yeah, 'cause that hasn't gotten old."
"Black on black never goes out of style, Gibbs, just so you know."

The hug and kiss is on the paper?

Photobucket

Photobucket

"Americans-- you can never just say hello."
"How about "Shalom"? Hello and good-bye."

The night fell fast.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Ooh, game of quotes. McGee doesn't like Tony flirting with Liat neither.

""All someone needs is the willingness to trade his life for mine." You know-- In the Line of Fire."
"Kennedy said that."
""Why don't you just memorize your lines and don't bump into the furniture, McBartlett." Spencer Tracy said that."

*snort* House should have done the same thing with his cane.

Photobucket

"Then we need to get on Eli's protection detail. I know he's going to make it miserable for us."
"Got McGee babysitting him in a safe house."

McGee is doing something else than type on a computer!

Photobucket

Are we sure about Eli letting Ziva for dead? Or are we pretending there wasn't a Mossad presence in Somalia?

Photobucket

Sex without a serious relationship, is it what Tony want? Because it's how I see the Tiva from his side. And I think he's really interested in Liat. If he was McGee, I'll be wary of her. (Because of his luck with women. She's so going to be a bad guy.)

Tony was waiting for McGee at the lift! And McGee is not surprised at seeing him!

"All safe from the safe house I see. With sandwiches."

I admit, when Tim said he learnt a lot of interesting things, I thought it included the fight in Aliyah.

"Well I've had a very educational morning."
"Good, cause Liat killed Gibbs and Ziva. Hmm. Meatballs?"
"We killed you first."

Photobucket

Nope, sorry Tony, Tim is not staying near the mine field.

"Tim-Amit ; palindromic pals." (Amit Hadar)

Photobucket
Photobucket

Would she really misunderstand that?

"I have hung a net."
"I do not know who "Annette" is or why you are so proud of killing her."
"No, what I mean is, if they make a move, we're gonna know about it."
"DiNozzo. All right. Send the manifest. We're on the way. Transport truck just got hijacked near Fort A.P. Hill. Army contractor."
"Well, see? We know about it."

Heee, McGee got his random anecdote a la Ducky! And Ziva is listening.

"That's stacking up to be a lot less precision attempt and more Wile E. Coyote. You know, more and more elaborate, out-of-proportion tactics? Did you know Wile E. Coyote was based on a character out of a Mark Twain book? It's true. Twain described the coyote as a living, breathing "allegory of want.""

Yeah, Abby/Ziva scene! Abby is really big on this father thing. She was like that in Silent Night, so I don't think he died recently. But the return of Sr. and Jackson probably woke up something buried.

Also, even if I disagree on Evil!Eli in the way fandom like to simplify it, he's still no angel. Abby can't really talk about them, Eli tried to kill their trust in Ziva to get her under his control, it's not small.

"You killing me!"… It's not going to be Hadar, right?

"Agh! Amit, you're killing me."
"Oh, prison guard has come to check up on us."
"Hadar, no one taught you. You let your boss win."

"In Israel, I travel with a team of armed guards behind four-inch bulletproof glass, separating me from the world like a sweatbox, even in autumn. I was looking forward... to the chill of an East Coast winter. I understand the air here is different."
"Open a window."
"I even bought gloves for the occasion."

Photobucket

"Movement gets the blood flowing, stimulates the mind. It can even create the illusion... of freedom."
"I'm a magician."
"Mm. Well, I cannot disagree with that, Agent Gibbs. You have a way of making my family disappear."

… except for the part about giving the order to kill Ari and knowing that it's Ziva who killed him. Are we in for more retcon?

"Out of the way! *shoot the guy* Drop your weapon."

"You did good."
"Toda. So did you."

I liked that they stop the measuring contest. It's not going to last, isn't it?

Photobucket

Someone like the reflections…

"Leon."
"Yes."
"This is incredible. Pretzel with peanut butter inside. This is American ingenuity."

Photobucket

Did Eli admit he was the leak?

"Did you think I wanted the assassins to follow me?"
"I think you told them where to find you."
"He is a splinter in my toe, Leon. He has been for years. If I do not extract him now, it could become infected. That's nasty, Eli."
"Yet illustrative."

Photobucket

"We gave you a life, but you should want to know if it was not all just a lie. They are all here, Leon. I have delivered you each and every man and woman, everyone who knows everything. Now, you must be courageous and learn the truth."

Nice little smile from Vance to Ziva.

Photobucket

Honestly, his gestures and expressions when he's trying to see if she's going to notice him or ignoring him are funny.

'So? No? Okay, if you want.'

Photobucket
Photobucket

Pony! In one hand, I'm pissed off he's making a joke of it. On the other hand, I'm kind of laughing.

"I know this face. You made the same one when I told my brother he could not buy you a pony."

Photobucket

Well, to play devil's advocate, she cut every link with him and he's respecting that. Sure, there's his pride at work, but he didn't continue to force her back to him.

Photobucket
Photobucket

"There was a time, Ziva, when I was quite different. When my house was filled with the sound of children laughing. You and Ari and Tali. There was a time, Ziva. Yes."
"His heart is hidden for a reason."

McGee found the gun! ...The gun found McGee. It's following him!

"Most fathers teach their daughters how to drive. I have you to blame for this?"
"This she learned from her mother."

I like how they're all working together.

…'k, it's not Imoteph. (It's okay, he'll come back. He always does.)

your picspam has left me with a vague desire to write a fic from Eli David's POV on how hard it is for him to care/show that he cares. I mean... his wife died, his daughter Ali died, his son Ari died, and there's just Ziva left. He may be at the point (or there might be a part of him that believes/thinks) that if he allows himself to care for Ziva as anything more than a former agent of his... well maybe she'll die too. And it would have to be hard for him to realize that Gibbs has become such a father figure to her. I mean, Eli is not and likely will never be the ideal dad but he's not completely evil and he still has feelings - even if he does his best to hide them.

I'm also tempted - due to us seeing Gibbs', Tony's, and Ziva's dad to write a NCIS meets Tim's dad story under less than ideal circumstances.

I did love the tony/tim interaction in this episode. And thought Ziva and Liat had a lot of chemistry together. It came off almost like an older sister jealous of a younger one. I half expected them to have a paperclip duel, sort of reminiscent of those western scenes where two gunfighters shoot it out, except of course, they'd walk the ten paces, turn, and fight it out with nothing but paperclips.

Seeing how bad every one's relationship with their dad is, I hope McGee has a better one.

I love the image :D
