NCIS review & picspam NCIS 8x24 Pyramid.

…Sorry. I kind of thought I already posted that.

The finaaaale!

EJ? Did he kidnap her?

Not!David! Noo! He's with Colby, now.

Cade, stay alive!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Yeah, he took her. How did he knock her without shooting her? Tony who wants so badly go after her.

Photobucket

EJ? She's alive!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Wait, Vance was there? Or he's just imagining it?

Photobucket

Meaning Vance, meaning he's probably not going to survive.

What the…? If you pay attention to her face, she’s surprised by what she felt. So, not sure if she knew that was there or what it was. On the other hand, why would she keep it to herself? Maybe she wants to protect her teammate.

For women or for you too, Timmy?

…no, agent Levin died because a murderer shot him.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Now she's considering him her boyfriend? I guess fearing for his life wake up some feelings. He's going to be dead, isn't he?

Photobucket
Photobucket

Oh shit, Ziva!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Oh, new stuff in the office!

Photobucket

Pretty flower, it's for what? And who? So Mike was dying.

*snort* I don't know what I prefer: Kort putting his feet on the table or Vance pushing them off.

"If she gets hurt, you answer to me."
"Is he threatening me, Director?"
"If he wasn't, I am."

Well, isn't that something every woman like to hear from their boyfriend?

Photobucket

Woah! He's got guts.

Awww, Ray’s the first near her.

Love the amusement of Brody at Palmer being unwilling to put his arm in front of him. Awww, Palmer is getting married!!! Why we didn't see the announcement? And, oh god, please, don't kill Palmer.

Palmer!!! Nice move from Brody and EJ’s hair, though.

Aww, he's leaving? Alive or dead? Still think Brody wants Vance

Palmer, EJ, and? Kort.

Oh, little silent communication between Palmer and Gibbs.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Well, that was anticlimactic. He wanted to die? The resolution of the threat of Super Killer via cop suicide is a lot like the end of the Kai’s storyline. I’m disappointed.

Awww, everybody's leaving. I want Cade to stay. Or to come back.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

McGee too. He wants to know more about his….stature.

Photobucket

Love the little amused smile of Gibbs.

"I think I'll stay put. No sense walking away from a good thing."
"That a compliment, DiNozzo?"
"No, boss. Sorry. Never."

Photobucket
Photobucket

I kind of want EJ to come back too. I mean, with more characters, McGee will have even less to do, but still, I like her.

A not ring?

Wait, that was a yes?

"It's empty."
"You disappointed?"
"Well, I know what I would like better."

"Well, tell them that I threatened to divorce you."
"They know I'm not married."
"Well, if you keep doing this, you'll never be."

Photobucket

Gah, Ray! I like you, don't be involved into bad stuff and Kort, and Eli, and who know what else!

Oh, Franks. Damn, I didn't really care, then they show Leyla and her daughter and I started crying.

Oh. He was building his coffin. How long did he know Mike was dying? Yes flashback, we recognise them, no need to do that.

I’d like to know what Gibbs say to make her smile like that.

Where's Ziva?

There's a mole in NCIS? Again? And Tony got a personal, secret job with the bosses, again?

Photobucket
Photobucket

Okay, it's not Vance or he wouldn't be there. It's someone Tony knows and cares, because Vance wanted to spare him that. They're not going the Ziva/ Rivkin Ray road again, right? (Hell, they probably don't know who it's going to be until they start writing the new season, but still.)

I'll never believe it's Gibbs. Not McGee either. I mean, at least, they'll do something big with him, but can we really believe McGee would do something like that? Unless he’s being framed up.

EJ, I guess. If Vance's friend doesn't want the team to know, it's probably someone close to all of them. Palmer? Unbelievable too. Only let the new guys, EJ or Cade.

And seeing how they never dealt with the stuff she took from Levin…

And here’s the end of the season. And to be honest, I don’t know how I’ll take the new one. Oh, I’ll watch it, but with Jesse gone, I’m not sure of how much stuff McGee will have. Gary Glasberg is the new boss and while I appreciate the diminishing level of Tiva anvils and the return of a professional Tony, he doesn’t know what to do with McGee and he’s reduced to geek boy/jealous&possessive with Abby.

Plus, let’s be honest, he doesn’t know how to close an arc. See the Reynosa and P2P. And with the hint of the new arc being a repeat of season 4 and 6…

Can’t they have two show runners, one for the characters and the other for the storyline?

It’s not that I watch only for McGee, but he’s my favourite and if he’s going to be reduced to the roles Abby and Ducky have, I’d like to know it beforehand.

I’d also like the usual fighting teams to include him in their new war theme (GG is distorting the characters!/ GG is bringing back the team at the front!). Strange how the first one only means Ziva liking Ray and the second think McGee is actually at the front. No wonder they think of him as an arrogant know-it-all thinking he’s better than everyone else. If he’s doing more than reading his screen, he’s above his functions in the team!

While I’m there, I’d also like a TARDIS and a robot to do all the cleaning.

You're so right, and this kind of treatment of McGee is very frustrating and depressing to see. A lot of things in Pyramid rubbed me the wrong way, and I'm really not sure if I'm looking forward to S9. :\

It's strange to be so wary of the new season for McGee reasons when the loudest voice are all about Tony, Tony & Gibbs, Ziva, or Ziva & Tony.

Unless he’s being framed up.

Or maybe threatened.

I also don't like that new storyline with the mole. We already had that. But I read spoilers that the mole will already be revealed in the first episode of the new season. So maybe (hopefully?) it's just a short arc and we'll get to new stuff soon in the season.

And I want more McGee. Out of the office. Can't be too tough. All the work McGee is doing can also be done by Tony or Ziva. They've done it before, they could do it again. But it's easier to give all that work to McGee while they're usually out in the field. :/ I kinda hope Sean will ask for more work out in the field for his character.


I just don't know what to think of s9 if it's continuing like this. And that's what's bugging me. :/

I'm really wary too. I'm going to keep an eye on the spoilers this years, just to be prepared.

GG is the worst thing that could happen to NCIS. The dude doesn't know the characters and I agree with you, he doesn't know how to close and create arcs.

I'm still looking forward for next season. I like NCIS but if I'm honest McGee is my favorite and the moment the tptb decide to let him go, I'm over.

Wow, the wet-haired palmer without his glasses, yumyum!

I didn't like season 8 as a whole really... :(
