I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

NCIS random ramblings

2012-03-16T02:26:23Z

I've been watching NCIS season 3 (while doing crochet).
Can I say how much I ♥ ♥ ♥ Abby? So Much Love. If she and Jo Grant got together, the world would be blinded with the sunshine and love and awesomeness.
Ducky! Ducky, Ducky, Ducky! I would be happy if it was just the Abby and Ducky show, I would!

As for Gibbs, he could make Chuck Norris cry.

NCIS still in Season 2

2010-08-08T22:49:42Z

I love Abby and Ducky with much love, but I am utterly sick and tired of the way that Kate and Tony are squabbling all the time. Sick of it. Stop it, please, peoples!

Also, Abby is doing the work of a dozen people. Just sayin'.

I've been watching more Season 2 NCIS, though I don't feel like reporting on every single episode. So here's just a few small babblings.
( Heart Break )
( Black Water )
( Doppleganger )
( The Meat Puzzle )

NCIS: Call of Silence

2010-07-25T13:26:13Z

I've been catching up on NCIS, looking at Season 2. I haven't been remarking on the episodes, as they've been average, but fun.

However, this episode, "Call of Silence" impressed me. I think the writers of NCIS must know more about the Marines than they do about computers (Abby, whom I adore, I still have to roll my eyes whenever there's computer stuff, because she always spouts gibberish. Well, gibberish that sounds good.)
Of course, I have no way of knowing whether the Marine stuff was accurate, but it just struck me so much, the honour and tradition that was shown here.
The awesome, awesome characterisation of the guest-star, and how the evidence kept twisting in one direction and another.

And Gibbs was awesomely sneaky.

Gleeful GIP!

A while back kalquessa mentioned that we should have a year where we "take back the glee!"... only we didn't. Since I think we're in even more urgent need of taking back the glee, I have made icons!

I have already posted at my icon journal, but in the interest of spreading the glee, I am posting them here too.

Want, take, comment, credit and don't alter.

And make some "Take back the glee!" icons of your own, too!

More musings about NCIS

Has anyone else noticed that Gibbs always calls Caitlin Todd "Kate", but he always calls Tony DeNozzo "DeNozzo". Except when he's introducing them as "Special Agent Todd" and "Special Agent DeNozzo". And what's with all these Special Agents? Are there any plain Agents?

NCIS: A Weak Link

2009-07-04T13:18:18Z

Yep, I'm churning through them.
I'm kind of surprised I'm playing "spot the actor" with this again; I usually tend to do that more with British or Canadian shows. But this time it was "Eeeeee!" when I saw Adam Baldwin, and I kept on wondering if one of the actresses was the same person who'd played Darla in Buffy (I've now checked with IMDB, and the answer is "yes").

NCIS: up to "Missing"

2009-07-04T11:05:55Z

Wow, this show has really hit its stride! Interesting to see how obsessed Gibbs is about what happened in "Bete Noir". Tony is still an idiot most of the time. It's interesting how McGee has become a semi-regular.

NCIS: Bete Noir

2009-07-02T13:43:30Z

Now that was a good episode. Facing your nightmares... or failing to face them.
( are you afraid of spoilers? )
This episode is kind of haunting.

NCIS: Enigma

2009-07-01T11:29:39Z

That was actually a good plot there. A mixture of truth and paranoia. Intriguing.
( abandon all hope of lack of spoilers, ye who enter here )

NCIS: The Good Samaritan

2009-07-01T10:16:14Z

One question, for folks in the US: Sherrifs get elected to their positions? Not appointed? That seems really strange. Then again, the whole durisdiction thing strikes me as a bit dumb, since all it ever seems to do is make things more difficult. But then, I live in Victoria, which has one police force for the entire state. And the police chief sure don't get elected.
Anyways...
( there be spoilers in them thar hills )

NCIS: One Shot, One Kill

2009-07-01T08:44:14Z

I still don't like Tony. Though the thing that he and Kate have going giving each other dirty jobs... well that's kind of amusing, I suppose. Though I guess the positive thing is that he wasn't so much of a clown in this episode.

Aw, Gibbs looked good in uniform.
( there be spoilers )
Oh, and I have to say, I forgot to mention about the episode with the satellite ("Eye Spy") that I was thrilled to see James Morrison playing the part of the CIA boss, even though it was a tiny part.

NCIS: My Other Left Foot

2009-07-01T07:32:18Z

So, this is the first time the "redhead in the car who picks Gibbs up" is mentioned explicitly. And neither Tony nor Kate know who she is. They just know that Gibbs has a thing for redheads.

The plot for this one, a bit bizzare...
( here be spoilers )

NCIS: Marine Down

2009-06-29T12:57:38Z

Well, the plot on this one was more interesting than usual; all cloak and dagger.

Ah, poor Ducky! I don't think Ducky is boring, I just think he has a tendency to get sidetracked.

What is it with Gibbs and driving off in a sports car with a redhead (who is presumably his wife)? Or maybe I should say, why is it that his wife always turns up in a sportscar when Gibbs needs to avoid questions?

NCIS: Sub Rosa

2009-06-28T12:33:18Z

Hey, this one had a plot that was actually good! There may be hope for the series yet.
Since this is about the third time I've come across the phrase "Sub Rosa" as an episode title, I decided to look it up. And there's a pun in the title! I love titles with double meanings.

I was rather amused by the fact that Abby's relaxation reading is a lurid-looking magazine... entitled "Extreme Computing". (grin)
I like Abby.

more NCIS

2009-06-24T11:07:03Z

Well, I've seen the next two episodes of NCIS... and I'm somewhat dissatisfied. Well, I still like Abby and Ducky (and Gibbs), but the plots... don't make a great deal of sense. No, they aren't complete nonsense, but they feel... wobbly. For things I can verify (such as Australianisms, or computer geek stuff) they have stuff that's right and stuff that's unlikely, and stuff that's wrong. Wobbly plots.
Mind you, The Sentinel had wobbly plots too, so I'm not sure why I'm finding the wobblyness of these plots more irritating.

(sigh)

I've just watched the first two episodes of NCIS. I was expecting to like Ducky, since David McCallum is the reason I decided to watch it. But I was surprised how much I liked Abby. She's cool. I rather like Gibbs, but the rest... don't care, really.

No, I don't like this show as much as Bones. It's shallower than Bones, though I guess no more shallow than your average crime show. I'll keep watching, for now.
