• Wow the NCIS fan fest sounds like fun. Too bad i'm too far and broke to attend. Just have to live with watching season 1 and 2 on dvd. I have a question thats been buging me. Why does Gibbs not shout or yell or even mean at Kate when she spills his coffee in Sub Rosa but he is really mean to McGee when he drinks Gibbs coffee. -- Smartie, 12:04:24 02/10/07 Sat [7]

  • True...Ducky did say that both he (Ducky) and Gibbs were "old chauvinists" (in referring to Kate dying). In light of all that, I was quite surprised when Gibbs slapped Ziva in the back of the head! (NT) -- Debby, 10:41:27 02/14/07 Wed
    • I think Ziva's closeness to Gibbs makes her more like family than employee and thus doesn't warrant the uber-protection that Gibbs often gave to Kate. (NT) -- KatRose, 12:35:26 02/15/07 Thu

  • Oh, thank you! I loved this part: 'That was the moment where I looked at [Mark] Harmon, and he was wearing that stupid hat, and I said “That looks really stupid on you,” and he goes, “Yeah? Well, imagine how stupid it looks on you.”' LOL. And I have to agree...I love "The Office". Gervais is funny, Carell is funny in a different way, but a stapler in a jelly is always funny. (Yes, I'm five years old :) ) (NT) -- Debby, 10:45:29 02/14/07 Wed
    • Yeah, I laughed at that part, too! :-) ...........................And speaking of The Office, and offices, and well, office co-workers --- Is anybody out there looking for a new employee? I have one I'll pay you to take. He's just like new, his brain has never been used. He's free and I'll pay the shipping. You think I'm kidding, don't you? I keep putting this offer out here, and nobody takes me up on it. Maybe I should put an over-the-top, too-good-to-be-true ad in the paper for a position that doesn't exist at a fake company to get his attention; then hire him, fire him when he doesn't show up at the imaginary address, and refuse to rehire him here. It sounds so wonderful that it's probably illegal. And since I don't have any authority at all, except to hang up on telemarketers, it's really wishful thinking. I think I like the false hopes that come with being delusional. (NT) -- AmyLynn, 11:29:31 02/14/07 Wed
      • Speaking of telemarketers, I noticed one was calling thanks to Caller ID and so I used Tony's little speech from "Untouchable." MAN, did that feel good. (NT) -- Meg, 15:16:02 02/14/07 Wed
        • *clueless alert* ......*clueless alert* .....What was the speech? I try and keep track of these things for future use. I remember a Seinfeld when Jerry asked the telemarketer for their home number so he could bother *them* at home. And my favorite, hands down, is a real story that a JAG poster related: He heard a commotion in his secretary's area, and he came out of his office to check it out. She had pulled out a water gun and was soaking the salesman who had refused to leave. (NT) -- AmyLynn, 06:55:12 02/15/07 Thu

• Hello from the office .....where there's always something exciting going on (sigh).... -- AmyLynn, 07:54:23 02/15/07 Thu [5]
  Sometime last summer, when the air conditioning at work wasn't working, I posted my concern that it might actually be humid enough to rain in the office.
  
  Guess what?
  
  Our heat isn't working today, and I think it might snow in here. I'm thinking about going outside to warm up.
  
  The temp was 44 degrees when the boss came in. I read that they keep morgues at 42 degrees.
  
  I'm typing with my gloves on.
  
  I can't feel my nose.
  
  The heating technicians are on the roof working on the unit right now. I think it may be working shortly, and then we have to wait for office to warm up. Of course, it would be nice to get sent home. I'm in the mood for a snow day.

  • When I first moved into my new department, my office was so cold I thought I could hang meat and it would keep for months. So I got a small space heater. That was great for about 5 weeks, then one morning as I sat at my desk I smelled something funny. Given that I'm in the basement of a building that has a Sump Pump alarm for a reason, I wasn't too concerned until I saw smoke coming out of the wall plug! I quickly turned off and disconnected the heater. When my fire marshalls came by, they clipped the cord so I couldn't use that heater again (the plug was partially melted, so I wasn't about to use it anyway!). I moved into my new (bigger) office on Tuesday. It's slightly warmer than the meat locker, but I still feel the need to have a scarf and gloves handy. LOL (NT) -- KatRose, 12:39:04 02/15/07 Thu

  Hey, AmyLynn, you said something in our discussion about Ice Queen/Meltdown about how you'd taken a similar fall as Gibbs did down the stairs. Now my question is - just how similar was your fall? Because I would have thought a person would be dead from something like that.

• Ok, let's see if these comments get anybody's attention, LOL -- AmyLynn, the crazy one, 12:16:34 01/25/07 Thu [3]
  
  Every so often, one of the advertising banners here on Voy will be for a company called "Ideal Bite - Free Eco-Living Tips" (I hope I got that right). Sometimes it's some plain lines of text, sometimes it's an apple green box with 'questions' in it. And one of the 'questions' is,
  
  "humane veal?"
  
  Every single time this box comes up, I misread it as "human veal" and shock myself.
  
  Has anybody else done this? Come on, fess up. I certainly cannot be all alone in mis-reading this. Can I?
  
  And my high hopes have been dashed: it looks like the office idiot will escape tomorrow, unsequestered, from his tour of jury duty. Rats.

• Comments on "Sharif's Return" (I think that's the correct title, LOL) -- AmyLynn, 07:53:30 01/24/07 Wed [17]
  
  Let's see if anybody's awake in cyberworld today.
  
  I'll start with my standard comment: Tony = cute. Here are some other random thoughts:
  
  This was an episode I had to take my glasses off for --- I hate when we get close-ups of corpses and the autopsy room. I practically faint right on the couch. But if I take my glasses off, everything turns into a blur, and I can get along quite nicely and still hear the show. I put them on again whenever Tony walks into the scene. HAHA
  
  When Ducky said there was a strong garlic smell in the urine, I thought, "Oooh, garlic, garlic, garlic, a garlic smell ... this sounds so familiar". When they said DMSO was used as the topical facilitator to spread the poison, I laughed and wondered if the writers ever lurk on Voy.
  
  You see Voy runs advertising banners, and one that shows up for "pain" or "headache" is a site that sells DMSO for pain relief. I had a migraine at work and clicked the banner and learned all about the history of DMSO. While DMSO is used as a solvent, it's also used as a pain reliever. There are pros and cons on both sides of this issue. Because this chemical promotes quick absorption through the skin of Good and Bad things, toxins go right in through the skin, or something helpful can go right through. ANYWAY --- I thought it was kinda cool that DMSO was on NCIS.
  
  I'd hate to be wrongly accused of being a terrorist. It's nice to know that if it does happen, especially if you've been set up or confused with another person, that you get no attorney, no phone calls, and can be "interrogated" forever.
  
  You can't deny this (being wrongly accused) must happen, and that branding a suspect as "potential terrorist" gives law enforcement more leeway and bypasses some checks and balances. Without debating the issues this topic inevitably raises, I'm just making the point that I'd hate to be wrongly accused -- trying to clear your name would be unbelievable difficult, surviving the interrogation may be just as hard, and how long would it be before anybody would notice you'd been missing and found out where you were???? It's not the govt calls your family for you and let's them know. You're pretty much stuck on your own.
  
  I need a happy thought. Let's see: Tony = cute.
  
  Anybody else want to say something? Anybody awake out there? Hellllooooo ....

  • So just where DID that boat go? Enquiring minds want to know! Oh......no......you were talking about DSMO. OK. Never heard of it. I learn all sorts of stuff from the smart folks here. It's nice to know the story was based in reality. And as far as the grusome autopsy scenes go, I don't find them necessary. It's just NCIS trying to be CSI again. But the props look so fake (thankfully) that I can just laugh. Especially with that incredibly bright light shining directly on the privates. LOL On a lighter note, I LOVED Gibbs in this one. He was so uncharacteristicly happy (that cute little grin). Is this the start of something good, or is he being set up for a crushing blow? (NT) -- Sadly, his new relationship reminds me of MH's guest stint on The West Wing as CJ's love interest. WW fans will know how that turned out. -- judy, 10:46:06 01/24/07 Wed
    • Things I've Learned From TV --- The minute somebody gets a legitimate love interest, one of the parties will die or turn into a serial killer. LOL ... As for the boat thing, it is my opinion that the entire subject, from the moment we see the boat is "missing" until the end where Hollis asks Gibbs how he got the boat out, was a humorous way of letting the fans know that TPTB know the fans wonder about these things, and that they *don't* have to give us an answer --- I'm sure we will *never* know how the boat gets out of the house! LOL I thought it was very funny ....As for the DMSO, a banner for "Pain Ease" currently appears when I refresh this Voy page, and that's where I first heard about it. (NT) -- AmyLynn, waving Hi !!!!, 10:57:51 01/24/07 Wed
      • I hope Mann meets the same fate as Simon Donovan. I really can't stand her. But I enjoyed the rest of the ep. (NT) -- Meg, 12:45:29 01/24/07 Wed
  • Poison with DMSO was used in the pilot (what DPB calls the "pilot"--"Yankee White"--not the backdoor pilot "JAG" episodes). Abby explains to Gibbs through a video conference that venom from an Australian taipan was mixed with DMSO and applied to the uniforms of the football carriers. (NT) -- Debby, 14:26:03 01/24/07 Wed
    • Really? Neat. I don't remember that at all, I don't even remember if I *saw* the first episode. I remember an early episode where there is an explosion and Gibbs is blown backward down some steps. And all I remember thinking is that I've done that, and you don't get up and chase the bad guys, you sit, in pain, and wonder if you've broken anything. And then you get an ice pack. LOL (NT) -- AmyLynn ....waving Hi !!!!!, 14:33:46 01/24/07 Wed
      • That was the JAG pilot, only it wasn't Gibbs. It's someone dressed in the same jacket. You see the person fall, you think it's Gibbs, and then you see him appear after the smoke clears and he's okay. (NT) -- Meg, 17:37:00 01/24/07 Wed
        • Sorry, the ep was "Meltdown," part two of the JAG two-parter that introduced the NCIS team. Aired in season 8 of JAG. (NT) -- Meg, 17:38:04 01/24/07 Wed
          • Glad you remember it, too!! I trip on air, I have fallen UP stairs as well as down, and those stunt people must be stick thin and just full of padding to survive their jobs. LOL I would really like to meet them, esp the stunt drivers. Cool, cool, cool. (NT) -- AmyLynn, 06:43:14 01/25/07 Thu
    • Wow. Somebody was paying attention! I don't remember that, either, and I love details. (NT) -- judy, waving 'hi' back, 15:33:39 01/24/07 Wed
  • I thought it was very interesting how our *grumpy, get to the point, and never talk about anything but the case* Gibbs was extremely happy, personable, and full of grins this episode. It was kind of nice to see Gibbs happy like he was in the beginning of season one, although I must say it was a little wierd to have Gibbs acting so happy because its just not the "normal" Gibbs that we've known lately. And as always, Tony's sense of humor makes me LOL! He is so....what's the word? Adorable! Sometimes his immatureness can get annoying but most of the time you can't help but laugh at him!! (NT) -- classicaleclpise, 19:26:18 01/24/07 Wed
    • Although always adorable, I found his immaturity annoying with Kate. But I have been totally 'into' him this season. Maybe it's because Ziva plays up to him perfectly. Or maybe he's actually grown. But something is definitely clicking now! WOW! (NT) -- judy, 23:18:32 01/24/07 Wed
  • I finally watched the show this evening. I liked Tony's attitude about the teasing that Ziva gives him (teasing her back) and the way his face lights up when he sees his girlfriend. I like Mann and her with Gibbs, they aren't exact opposites, but neither are they completely compatible. I don't see a happily ever after ending for them, but I do see it lasting more than just this ep. Gibbs' comments about wanting to kiss her, but needing to wait until after the case was appropriate and cute. Overall, a good ep that kept me watching. (NT) -- KatRose, 21:59:04 01/24/07 Wed
    • Mann? Is that her name? I've paid such scant attention that I really don't remember. I just call her The Coronel. But I agree with you assessment. They're certainly not perfect, but they 'work' together. i can see her slated for several more episodes. It just makes me sad that we can't invest ourselves in periferal (sp?) characters because, according to Hollywood script law, they don't last. Harm and Mac may have been the last exception. Sigh...... Good ep all around! (NT) -- judy, 23:24:12 01/24/07 Wed
    • Yeah, his face *does* light up, doesn't it? ~dreamy sigh~ .... ok, ok, I'll quit with the sighing. LOL Your comment is the cherry on my sundae: The sun is out, YAY, and, MOST importantly, the office idiot is on jury duty, YAY (oh may they keep him as long as humanly possible, putting him on a case that will last months and need to be sequestered).

I am VERY interested in how Tony will react to Gibb's return. I thought I caught a bit of annoyance-maybe pissed-off-edness (I make up my own words) in the last shot of the last show. I think he will not like Gibbs just coming back now that he has made strides to be a leader. And if you really think about it, wouldn't any of you be a little bit peeved?

• I just had to laugh last night ...... -- AmyLynn, 07:13:10 01/17/07 Wed [3]
  
  Ok, who told the writers my standard coffee conversation? Hmm. Are you telling me that more people than just have had the hotel room coffee conversation? LOLOLOL
  
  I have given people the same look that Ziva gave Gibbs when he said he brewed his coffee in his room. It's the "shocked, incredulous, you can't be serious, you obviously don't appreciate real coffee" look. (I usually get called a coffee snob at this point.)
  
  When I saw her look and heard her comment, I smiled, and, I believe, I voiced my whole-hearted agreement at the TV.
  
  And when we found out that Gibbs brings his OWN coffee with him, I laughed!!! Who's on to me?? As Kat knows, I *always* bring my own coffee on trips ..... and filters of all sizes, and half-n-half, and WATER, because you CANNOT use the chlorinated, softened, hotel bathroom sink water to make ANYTHING .... and after my last stay in a run-down Memphis hotel, I now bring my 4-cup coffee MAKER, too!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
  
  I *really* liked those few seconds last night. Which means that more people than I thought are just as crazy as me, (thank you, I'm not alone), or at least they've THOUGHT the same things (thank you, I'm not alone) ... so everybody can just stop giving me those funny looks. ROTFLOL
  
  Oh, and uh, isn't MW gorgeous? The more gorgeous he looks, the happier, the more in love, the more he romantic he is ... the more they're gonna give it to him later. (This is what I've learned from watching TV! LOL) Poor, poor Tony. I shudder to think of how this will play out. ........... but until it does, my goodness is he gorgeous.
  
  And something else I've learned from TV is that famous or semi-famous guest stars are always put in the guilty column. Which is why I had the commanding officer guy on my list the minute I saw him. LOL The writers would hate me if I knew how I figure out my suspects, because it doesn't usually have anything to do with the plot. HAHA!!

  • The more I think about it, It strikes me that Ziva's comment about "it's not real coffee" were probably said because it was chickory. But my opinion is still the same. The little coffee pod or packet in the hotel room, with or without chickory, is so old, stale, and cheap, that I do not think of it as really being coffee. I think it WANTS to be coffee, but it falls way too short. LOL (NT) -- AmyLynn .......anybody out here today?, 10:32:55 01/17/07 Wed

  • You can go to Rosefern, at . Click on "Kate!" in the menu on the left, and that will take you to her profile page. When you click on "pictures" in "Kate in pictures"--it's got pictures of Kate (home, first case, her sketches). The last one in the pop-up window is Kate's drawings, and it's got *all* her sketches and the episodes they appeared in (obvious the ones with 1. are first season). I know you can't right click on these, but the screencaptures are downloadable (just not hotlink-able), so you can go the episode guide ("Episodes" in the menu) to get the caps. Hope this helps.

• First Time 'NCIS' Tops Weekly Ratings -- Ryne's Mom, 05:59:58 12/21/06 Thu [2]
  By DAVID BAUDER
  The Associated Press
  
  
  NEW YORK - Assuming military criminal investigators should do such a thing, they're popping champagne corks over at "NCIS." The CBS series topped the television ratings last week for the first time in its four-year history.
  
  It has been a methodical climb for "NCIS," which had a particularly strong summer in repeats this year. With 17.4 million viewers last week, it was a modest victory given that more traditionally popular series were in reruns, according to Nielsen Media Research.
  
  Meanwhile, the 16.4 million people who watched Sunday's two-hour finale of "Survivor: Cook Islands" was the smallest-ever finale audience for the CBS game, in its 13th edition.
  
  The Nielsen numbers illustrate the lack of depth in ABC's schedule when the network's big three - "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" - don't have original episodes.
  
  ABC finished fourth in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic it most actively seeks, and among all viewers as well.
  
  It yanked the Taye Diggs drama "Day Break" and the game show "Show Me the Money" from the schedule after poor performances last week. Ted Danson should be worried, too. His comedy "Help Me Help You" finished No. 91 in the ratings last week, with an audience of only 3.5 million people, Nielsen said.
  
  CBS averaged 12.3 million viewers last week (7.7 rating, 13 share). NBC had 9.1 million (5.9, 10), Fox had 7.4 million (4.6, 8), ABC had 7.2 million (4.7, 8), the CW had 2.5 million (1.7, 3) and the i network had 650,000 (0.4, 1).
  
  NBC's "Nightly News" won the evening-news ratings race, averaging 9 million viewers (6.2, 12). ABC's "World News" had 8.4 million viewers (5.9, 12) and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.5 million (5.2, 10).
  
  A ratings point represents 1 percent of the nation's estimated 111.4 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
  
  For the week of Dec. 11-17, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "NCIS," CBS, 17.39 million; "Deal or No Deal" (Monday), NBC, 16.7 million; "Survivor: Cook Island Finale," CBS, 16.42 million; "House," Fox, 16.13 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 16.06 million; "CSI: Miami," CBS, 16 million; "CSI: NY," CBS, 15.83 million; "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 15.69 million; NFL Football: Kansas City vs. San Diego, NBC, 15.26 million; "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 15.12 million.

  What is with all the disgusting sex scenes? ----Last night the one with the NCIS van. I thought we had found a show we could watch that didn't get into all that crap. Now they are getting Tony involved in a relationship...........I could care less about that stuff. I would especially prefer not to have to watch it my teenage daughter!! Of course I'll still watch it. I wouldn't miss anything with Mark Harmon it in...............he is so gorgeous!!!!!
  

  [Edit]
  
  Replies:

  • It's not like NCIS shows the sex scenes, only the beginning parts, which is much better than say ER or any of the CSI shows. Personal relationships are a part of life, so why not show them? Part of Tony's quandry is that the woman he's involved with is also involved somehow with the case he's been tasked by Director Sheppard. That's why Jenny told Tony to be careful, but didn't tell him not to get personally involved. I can appreciate you not wanting to watch sex stuff with your teenage daughter, but wouldn't you prefer she see it with you around than on her own? (NT) -- KatRose, 10:09:30 11/29/06 Wed
    • Besides all that the part with Duckys assistant and his girlfriend was not even seen, just left to our imaginations. Something tells me that that story line is gonna go somewhere much more serious. (NT) -- TV Junkie Mom, 19:30:33 11/30/06 Thu
    • Well now how did I miss the reason for Tony's quandry was because the girl & the special assignment were linked??? I didn't get at all that this girl is involved with the undercover thing he's doing --- just the opposite, I thought this scene showed she *wasn't* involved, as many were speculating (myself included), and this week we saw what *was* involved, with his little luggage-boy job. I thought he went to Jenny for advice because, as he said, Gibbs has 3 ex-wives, and she has the woman's point of view, he's also become friends with Jenny, and he feels in need of advice because he's afraid of messing things up in these uncharted waters of wanting more from a relationship than what he wanted in the past. Please clue me in on the dialogue I obviously missed!!!! Now I feel lost, when before I felt on top. (NT) -- AmyLynn, 10:05:42 12/04/06 Mon
      • It's not so much in dialogue, as in the way Tony's been acting. He hadn't (until last week) slept with the woman and he goes to Jenny for advice, talking about how a "situation" has come up and how he cares for the woman, but has held off for various "reasons". All, at least to me, implying that the woman has some connection to the case he's on. It doesn't mean that she's directly involved, but he didn't want to have any sense of impropriety going on either. Then again, I could be wrong. (NT) -- KatRose, 12:18:42 12/04/06 Mon

• I don't know if anyone from NCIS comes to this site, or really listens to us if they do. However I have noticed everyone in here talked about how they did not like Gibbs mustace, and it was gone with in two weeks after being talked about on this forum. Everyone was wondering about Gibbs limp and Tony said something about it to Ziva, I believe. Starbuks Coffe..... NO it is not a "Starbucks Coffe Cup." They had a close up this week and I stopped it on DVR and it says, "Hot Coffee," Just wondering are the producers listening to their fans or is it just ironic how things happen. -- David, 19:29:00 11/30/06 Thu [2]

• This is just a random thought. I was watching a rerun epsiode unsealed and I noticed that Gibbs smiled alot with Abby but not with everyone else.

• Comments on "Once A Hero" -- AmyLynn, the shallow one, 09:44:03 11/20/06 Mon [1]
  
  You expect me to be wordy, don't you? You expect me to discuss plot points and storylines, right? Well this post is regarding the only thing that caught my attention, and that is how absolutely handsome MW is and how the most awesome scene of all is with his "girlfriend" getting coffee. Was there more going on, I didn't notice.
  
  I watched the episode from tape, and after I got to this scene, the rest of the story disappeared from my mind. I watched the scene twice, then kept going. But as I kept watching the main story, I got distracted and would rewind to the coffee scene, then fast forward to where I was before I rewound. It took me twice as long to watch the last part of the show.
  
  I thought he was going to kiss her several times. He's really good about doing that eye sweep thing over the actress's face, his interest was very believable. I kept hitting the snooze button when the logical part of me started to wonder where this storyline is going (Is she really a student, is he really interested?) I hope that before we find out, we get to see a kiss at least. Then I'll have something to replay over winter hiatus. LOL

• I just read .... -- AmyLynn, 12:46:16 11/16/06 Thu [2]
  
  I read something that impressed me to no end about this guy.
  
  I was at one of his unofficial fansites, I forget which one, and the webmaster had posted an article from In Style magazine (I believe) that showed Michael Weatherly's home.
  
  They had a picture of his bedroom, and a quote where he said that he liked his tempurpedic mattress so much, he bought one for the *guest* room.
  
  I am in awe.
  
  I have a memory-foam mattress by Sealy (because I couldn't afford to get the real tempurpedic brand at the time) and I love it so much, I almost kissed the salesman. I know how much they cost, but I still think everybody on the planet should have one.
  
  Everybody spends their money on themselves, but not everybody is willing to spend it on other people ... or on an expensive mattress for the guests. Wow.

I understand about safety laws, etc., but if you had fire personnel on hand, you mean that for 10 seconds they couldn't have shut off the system alarm? Or couldn't have filmed with the alarm sounding & just blocked it out of the scene? Since their pros at filming, I'm assuming these suggestions weren't viable, but still ... 2 days for 2 seconds.

The lines are funny, but the expressions on the actors' faces are priceless--when Kate's smile falls off her face, and Tony instantly figures out that Gibbs is behind him; and the half-grimace, half-smirk as Gibbs materializes behind him. And yes, Jennifer, I think the knee is because of football--I think that's what DPB said, but I'm not entirely sure. (NT) -- Debby, 19:55:57 10/10/06 Tue

• Comments on the show ..... -- AmyLynn, caffeine deprived & realizing the office idiot is never going to be fired ::sigh::, 07:19:03 11/08/06 Wed [6]
  
  I'm going to try and be less wordy this time.
  
  I missed the sparks between Gibbs and ... and ... oh dear, I forgot her name. Now the show doesn't come in clear even on our big, new TV, but still -- shouldn't I have seen sparks? I felt like I was being TOLD about the sparks, but I didn't see any myself. With only being a few minutes into the show, how does Ziva figure that quickly that Gibbs has met ex-wife number 4? I thought that line came way too soon. Everybody throughout the episode was telling me the things they picked up on, but I never got those things. Shouldn't it be the other way around, the characters are picking up on what *I* as the viewer notice?
  
  Anyway, I'm willing to chalk it up to different people picking up different things, and the fuzzy static may have distorted the sparks, but I just didn't see it. At all.
  
  And on the Tony meter, well, the guy is always cute, we had several nice closeups, and are they really going to have him and Ziva get together? Come on, don't tell me you didn't miss the editing: After being asked if he found the right girl, and answering that he was getting more convinced of it every day, we jump to Ziva's voice talking with McGee. That's not accidental in my book. Sure, we see Tony later looking at pics of that student, or whoever she was, but Tony's following Ziva to diffuse a bomb and making a serious comment when it's all done, (at least a serious comment hidden in a smile), and Ziva's asking about his new girlfriend (is this displaying bits of jealousy?) Hmmm.
  
  I feel like I'm being set up. I also think that given all the sturm & drang with dragging out Harm & Mac on JAG, that on this show, Mr. B will handle things differently. I can see him having Tony & Ziva get together, and play around with the fall out of it. Perhaps it's more seroius for Tony, the playboy, that it is for Ziva. Perhaps we'll find out that it's sorta serious for both of them, and then get a shocker like Ziva has a husband back in Israel. (Mr. B does like to bring back old husbands and wives, think Michelle in Magnum and Mac's ex in JAG.)
  
  I could be completely off, but I'm nothing if not open to possibilities. I just don't want to see Tony really hurt. (Yes, I am so pathetic. LOL)
  
  Comments anyone?

  • You hit the nail on the head with everything. I'm still wondering about the son. When he saw the "spider web" why did he start backing away? They made a point of him looking at the trip wire, then he starts backing up like he knew what was going to happen. I thought it was going to be a 2-parter. Ziva's comment was cute, but I agree that it may have been premature. It would have fit better while they were in the office. (NT) -- Ryne's Mom, 07:58:43 11/08/06 Wed
    • Yeah, I thought the son was guilty from the beginning -- rigging the ball to explode so his dad would be injured enough to be out of the military and home with the family, only the explosion was more powerful than planned. (I was TOTALLY off with that, but I guess the situation & the kid looked suspicious on purpose.) Alas, due to static I didn't see ANY sort of spider web at all, did anybody else? Or was that just something we learned from dialogue? I also thought it might be a 2 parter. It ended and I was surprised. Then I thought about it, and it made sense that a terror cell wouldn't be identified & closed down in one episode, but even so it did rather quickly to me. And were there scenes for next week, because I missed them, too, along with the sparks. LOL (NT) -- AmyLynn, 08:11:35 11/08/06 Wed
      • You could see the trip wire next to the ball. The son said he thought it was a spider web. As for the sparks, to me they weren't blatantly obvious, just innuendos. I thought it a bit brazen of Hollis to just show up at Gibbs' house, let herself in and find her way down to the basement. A simple phone call would've done the job.. LOL (NT) -- Ryne's Mom, 09:24:54 11/08/06 Wed
        • Yeah, phone calls work wonders, LOL. So the person who put the trip wire in the sand was just going to wait for the next person to come along and hope that they would trip it. Eventually. I mean, not everybody is going to use the same parts of the sandy area, or is it pretty common to walk around & poke around to figure out your shot. I guess it would have exploded sooner rather than later, huh. (NT) -- AmyLynn .... can I list a co-worker on Ebay? LOL, 10:01:16 11/08/06 Wed
  • I definitely agree with you about the non-existant sparks. At the time I thought Ziva's comment referred to their squabbling, not any attraction. Other than Gibbs' out-of-the-blue comment about their impending 'relationship,' I saw nothing personal in their interactions which couldn't have been between ANY army officer and Gibbs. She (what WAS her name?) didn't endear herself to me any, either. And I, too, am curious about the red herring (?) relationship Tony seems to be embarking on. What gives with that? And thirdly, this is the second ep in a row which concluded abruptly and unsatisfactorily. By about 10 minutes of 9, I expected both to be 2 parters. (NT) -- judy, 10:52:33 11/08/06 Wed

• Last Night's Show ... -- AmyLynn, 07:23:59 11/01/06 Wed [12]
  
  Just a few comments on last night's show ... I like it. I didn't see the very beginning, so if there was a body or a shooting or anything involving blood, et al, I missed it ... yay! ... and there weren't gory flashbacks ... yay! ... so this episode was great. And I would just like to pat myself on the back and say that I knew that lady was in on the crime. When Gibbs had the mom alone in the bedroom, and the 'sister' came in, I knew the 'sister' was involved. And then at the end when the 'sister' was standing by the computer, something about it scene made my mind leap to: "she's definately guilty, in cohoots with the guy, and maybe not even the sister".
  
  I gotta say that watching the mom punch that lady was the best scene of that storyline! They never show real women fighting, but I think that was a pretty realistic portrayal of what a mom would do to a woman who helped kidnap her child. Great job!!
  
  And .... I was torn between laughter and watching for big brother when McGee knew Klingon. Not that *I* know much Klingon, only a word, actually, and I forgot what it means, but I have a story about this. Two stories.
  
  One is that a couple years ago on the way to work, a news story caught my attention. It seems DCFS went to a trailer and found several children living in extremely unsanitary conditions, with several pets, and oblivious parents, and none of the children spoke English ... they spoke fluent Klingon. The parents, it seems, were Star Trek fans. The parents cleaned up their trailer, became a little less oblivious, got the kids in school & learning English, and got the kids back. Happy story. But it was being repeated because of the Klingon part. When I got to work, I called my mother and said, "I never thought I'd need to thank you for teaching me the language of the country I live in. Thank you for teaching me English!"
  
  See, Klingon is a "real" language of sorts. It became used so much in the Star Trek shows, that when the movies came out they paid somebody (or a group of somebodys) to actual invent a real language, with grammatical rules and everything. It's unbelievable. I think of this story everytime I see a Klingon, either on TV or in real life. Which leads me to story two.
  
  I never, ever, EVER thought that I would use the phrases "Star Trek Convention" and "I attended a" in the same sentence. I hang my head and sigh. Yes, I attended a "small" one in Chicago. My young got all dressed up, but my only concession was that I wore pointy ears, (I told everybody that I was a Rijelian transfer student), and just enjoyed the rest of the fans. We met a Klingon in full military costume, like the guy on last night's episode. They all look the same and act the same in that costume. It gives men some sort of power trip, I tell you, because when the McGee translated the words about not surrendering, I almost died laughing. That's EXACTLY what a guy in Klingon mode would say! Whoever wrote this dialogue completely got it!!! What a hoot!!!
  
  And when Tony asked McGee if he understood Klingon, the exasperated way McGee finally admitted that he did was just priceless! And .... I'm going for a full confession here ... and I think I'm liking Tony more and more, oh my isn't he cute, and funny, and if I ever manage to crash the set (excuse me while I laugh ... hahahahahahahahaha), and actually meet MW, well, I'm sure I'll babble something incomprehensible, probably in Klingon, and pass out. The guy is too gorgeous for words and what a sense of humor!! I am a puddle of goo just thinking about him.
  
  
  
  PS: Just a quick note on Ducky and his tea, I loved it. What a cute tea cosy. Perhaps it struck me as just so English because I just had tea at the Ritz last week. "Wow" and "great" and "awesome" doesn't cover it. There is an entire feeling that accompanies a proper English tea .... you have beautiful dishes and tea services, real silver, you're waited on, you feel like you should be dressed in the Regency fashion and have an estate, and arrive by way of carriage to meet a dashing, slightly dangerous, fine figure of a man. That's an awful lot to get from just tea, I know, but I did. And I flashed back to it watching Ducky and Ziva last night. Of course, the mood was broken by the "root vegetable" comment.

But anyhoo, the ep was great last night. Abby rocked in the Marilyn costume! Poor McGee was having a hard time concentrating with her around!

      • No I wasn't there for the convention, but the Las Vegas Hilton has a permanent "thing" called the Star Trek Encounter. There's a bar where Ferengi serve bubbling, smoking drinks in a fish bowl. There's memorabilia, gift shops, and even (gasp!) Trekkie slot machines!

I'm surprised ST fans haven't all moved to Vegas and taken the place over. I mean, really ... let me get stereotypical here, LOL ... serious, hardcore ST fans probably do computer work from their home or garage, and are most likely good at it, so they have the money to go hang out at the local ST cafe every night, all the time, especially if they bring their "work", ie laptop, with them.

  Gibbs'N'Girl
  Romance sparks as Mark Harmon meets his match on NCIS
  by Mary Murphy
  
  Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs has battled terrorists, spies and torturers, but now he's facing his most daunting challenge yet: a new love interest. His past affairs have been seen mostly in gauzy flashbacks, but this one plays out in the present for the taciturn agent, who's back on the job after a short siesta of a retirement on a sand-swept stretch of Mexico.
  
  In this week's pulse-pounding episode, Gibbs encounters a disarmingly beautiful Army investigator - Lt. Col. Hollis Mann, played by Susanna Thompson (Once and Again, The Book of Daniel) - at a terrorist bomb site. The crime scene happens to be an Army-Navy golf course where they both have jurisdiction.
  
  If the sparks between them aren't enough to tip off the audience, the dialogue is. "I think Gibbs just found his fourth ex-wife," cracks NCIS agent Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). In other words, this could be the start of something big.
  
  "I love the dynamic between Gibbs and Mann," Thompson says. "They don't give each other any slack. They're interested in each other on a suppressed level so far."
  
  As the story unfolds, more bombs are planted in and around Washington, D.C., and munitions expert Ziva comes to the rescue. She climbs into the rafters of a warehouse to dismantle a bomb that's dangerously close to exploding.
  
  "This has to be the stupidest thing a human being has ever done," says Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), who follows right behind her. Why would DiNozzo do something so foolish? It's a quesiton that will be answered over the rest of the season, says creator Don Bellisario. The workplace teasing and tormenting between Tony and Ziva will evolve into something more in episodes to come.
  
  This week's case will be left unresolved, which means Thompson's character will definitely return, Bellisario promises.
  
  That won't make NCIS director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) very happy, considering her steamy backstary as Gibbs' onetime field partner and lover. "Does anyone want to see the person they love move on?" asks Holly. "Jenny would have a really hard time if Gibbs loved someone else."
  
  But on NCIS you never know when your romance - or your number - will be up. "This is an ensemble, and we all learn that people could go out the door," Harmon says. "It could end tomorrow."
  
  Double time, Gibbs!

• Hot off the press: -- Ryne's Mom, 13:16:15 10/23/06 Mon [2]
  NORFOLK, Va. - A sailor pleaded guilty Monday to abducting and killing a Marine corporal he thought had been involved in a gang rape.
  
  The rape turned out to be a lie, but the truth surfaced too late.
  
  Petty Officer 3rd Class Cooper Jackson, 23, pleaded guilty Monday to premeditated murder, kidnapping, impersonating a Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent and obstruction of justice in connection with the death of Cpl. Justin L. Huff, 23.
  
  In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to spare him a possible death sentence.
  
  Federal agents had testified at his Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a grand jury investigation, that Jackson had been fooled into falling in love with a woman who called herself Samantha and made up a story about being raped by servicemen.
  
  "Samantha" turned out to be Ashley Elrod, a 22-year-old hotel clerk on North Carolina's Outer Banks, who testified that she lied about being raped. She said she "might have" told Jackson that one of the Marines was named Huff or Huffman, and she said Jackson called her after Huff was killed. Elrod has not been charged.
  
  During his court-martial, Jackson told the Navy judge how he posed as an NCIS agent and took Huff to North Carolina to get information about the purported rape. He said he then slit Huff's throat and buried the body to avoid being caught.
  
  "I'd broken several laws and I had a missing Marine with me," Jackson said at his hearing Monday. "Quite frankly, I was scared of the consequences of what would happen, of being caught, more so than I was of the consequences of taking his life."
  
  If the judge accepts the plea, Jackson could be sentenced to life in prison with or without the possibility of parole, said his lawyer, Don Marcari. The sentencing phase was to begin Tuesday.
  
  Huff, 23, of Indianapolis, was reported missing Jan. 2 after he didn't show up for class at the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center in Virginia Beach, where Jackson also was a student.
  
  Agents said Jackson, of Boones Mill, confessed when they questioned him Jan. 12. The next day, he led agents to Huff's body in a wooded area in Currituck County, N.C., just south of the Virginia-North Carolina border.

  October 17, 2006
  "Dead and Unburied"
  
  The NCIS team investigates when the body of a missing Lance Corporal is found in a vacant house.
  
  "Dead and Unburied" -- The NCIS team is called to investigate when a real estate agent finds the body of a missing Lance Corporal is found in a vacant house, on NCIS, Tuesday, Oct. 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Colin Bucksey directed the episode from a script by Nell Scovell.
  
  At the scene of the crime, Gibbs and the team discover that the Lance Corporal was buried in the backyard and then exhumed. After determining his identity, they learn the Marine, who was deployed to Iraq but never showed up for duty, had two fiancs. Abby uses her technical knowledge to run DNA samples from the two women and soil from the grave while Ducky uses his newly obtained Masters in forensic psychology to help NCIS implicate the killer.

  I loved all the references to Gibbs' new look in last night's episode. What fun! I personally think it makes him look old. (I did like his scruffy look in the season opener.) But TPTB are certainly making a 'thing' of it. Like his weird haircuts of old, this too shall pass. In the meantime, they're sure having fun with it.

  • I liked the episode. I liked how Tony actually made a mature decision based on his desire to learn more from Gibbs vs just going off and being his own team leader. I liked how Gibbs stuck up for Tony with McGee ("probie"). I liked how everyone treated Gibbs like a slightly crazy uncle - loved, but watched over. ;-) (NT) -- KatRose, 07:51:23 10/05/06 Thu
    • Agreed. Tony's new maturity is much more sexy than his 'boys just wanna have fun' attitude of yore. I respected the way he never defended himself by sharing the promo offer. He seems content to let the team discover the new Tony for themselves. I love the way this show and its characters are growing, year by year. (NT) -- judy, 11:12:38 10/05/06 Thu
  • I also think the mustache makes MH/Gibbs look older. I hope its gone soon....MH is a handsome man, even in his 50's, & he looks much younger & better IMHO clean-shaven without that stupid white mustache. When he puts his reading glasses on, I just want to say "Hey Grampy!" LOL! I still don't like Tony, probably never will. Not to say I that I don't like Michael Weatherly, but the Tony character just grates on me. I hate him showing no respect for the Director by continually calling her by her first name. She's older than he is, she's in a command position, & it should be Director, or whatever, not "Jenny" coming from someone like Tony. I hate him still calling McGee "probie." It bothers McGee, & it also shows a lack of respect from Tony for McGee for him to keep on when McGee doesn't like it. I honestly wish Tony would've taken the assignment & we could've said bye to the character. His juvenile antics have grown weary for me. -- Jennifer, 13:13:46 10/05/06 Thu
    • I think the "Jenny" is meant to imply that there's something more going on between the two of them. Remember when he was snooping into her flowers? I don't mean that they're having a romantic relationship, but perhaps they've gotten to know each other on a different level than just work so he's comfortable calling her by her first name (not to mention she never said anything about him *not*). Plus this isn't the military where they should or need to use ranks on a regular basis. I think Gibbs does it because he wants to distance himself from the past and need that title to help him do that. (NT) -- KatRose, 07:14:18 10/06/06 Fri
      • I just think it shows a lack of respect..but then again, I basically think that DB has always had a problem with treating his female characters with respect, so that's nothing new LOL! I know its not the military, but it is still a government agency, & would Tony ever call Gibbs by his first name or Fornell by his first name? Nope, they are given respect by Tony, & I just think the same should be afforded to Director Shepperd. She is the boss, & proper respect should be shown by someone who reports to her, not calling her by her first name. Is this where we agree to disagree LOL LOL LOL!!! (NT) -- Jennifer, 11:35:29 10/06/06 Fri
        • I think your opinion of DB is coloring the way you see this interaction. Tony may not use Gibbs or Fornell's first names, but then again, most men in law enforcement call each other by their last names. While women do tend to call each other, or ask others, to use their first name. Think of SVU, Cragen often calls Olivia by her first name yet calls Elliot by his last (unless he's really pissed off). I see no disrespect. If there was, Tony would be leering while he said "Jenny," which he doesn't. He says it with straight-forward eye contact and respect in his voice. There's no need for him to call her "Director" or "Director Sheppard." (NT) -- KatRose, 08:17:16 10/07/06 Sat
          • Weren't Kate and Viv Blackadder and Abby all called by their first names, too? Although I am a little puzzled at the familiarity since no one referred to Director Morrow as just "Morrow." He was always "sir" or "Director". (NT) -- Debby, 02:15:02 10/10/06 Tue
            • Exactly! It should be Ma'am, or Director, or Director Sheppard....not "Jenny" by a junior agent. That's my gripe, the men are afforded the respect of their positions, while the women, well, they are just females who don't garner the same respect. On SVU I've heard Cragen call Elliott "Elliott" more times than "Stabler.." The only ones who are called regularly by their last names on that show are Fin & Munch...Munch is a kinda cute name, its my sister's nickname LOL! I just feel that DB & his writers should afford the female characters a "little" more respect...Sheppard is the boss, she's the Director, & she should be given respect by people like Tony instead of calling her "Jenny" in the workplace. Would they call Morrow by his first name? Doubtful....so give the same respect to the female director...she's obviously earned her position, she should get the respect as well. That's all.... (NT) -- Jennifer, 09:55:55 10/10/06 Tue
              • I still think you're putting way too much into this, Jennifer. Have we heard Tony call her Jenny in public or only when it's just the two of them? If he hasn't, then perhaps she's asked him to call her that. I also think it's a generational thing. I know I don't think twice about calling various execs here at the studio (including the chairs) by their first name, but older colleague always use a last name or Mr/Ms with the last name. Then again, the guy that runs all of Sony, we all call him "Sir" because he was knighted. ;-) (NT) -- KatRose, 17:04:48 10/10/06 Tue
                • Well watch tonight's ep, & I think you'll get your answer about the "Jenny" in public or private....it still IMHO shows a total lack of respect, & Tony should be called on it. Tell me what you think after the ep :) (NT) -- Jennifer, 19:29:33 10/10/06 Tue
                  • I still don't think there's a problem with it. We all talk to each other in manners that are comfortable for us and/or have been asked of us. I think the fact that Gibbs and Sheppard use each other's titles, has more to do with keeping a distance from their romantic past than with anything else. I don't think Tony's use of "Jenny" is degrading or indicative of a DB slant or slam against women. The CEO of my org is a woman and I don't know anyone that calls her by her last name - from the PAs to other execs to all of us in between. There are always situations that require a title, but daily conversations in and around work are not one of them. (NT) -- KatRose - who knows I won't be able to change your mind, because you have a specific view of DB and the way he protrays women and nothing will alter it, 21:27:44 10/10/06 Tue
              • I used to know a couple named "Munch" but actually it was spelled Muench.......it was their last name (NT) -- daisysdtr, 08:57:40 10/14/06 Sat
    • Didn't the big gorilla say all the characters will have screts this year??? Maybe Tony is sleeping with the director..... that would certainly be interesting.... (NT) -- Rebecckah, 23:31:30 10/07/06 Sat

• "Jenny?" -- judy, 12:45:28 10/11/06 Wed [3]
  Well, Gibbs called Tony on his familiarity last night. After the discussion here (Jennifer & Kat)it was fun to see Gibbs question him on 'just how close did you two get while I was gone?' (or words to that effect. Seems like everything we pick apart has been purposefully written into the script, clues to be picked up later. And is it just me, or is Mike being set up for a fall later this year? I am really enjoying this season.

  • What I loved about the question was the humor in Gibbs' voice and how quickly Tony tried to back pedal from it. It appeared to me that Gibbs was just giving Tony a hard time, that there was no rancor or "you've GOT to be kidding me" in it. (NT) -- KatRose, 07:37:27 10/12/06 Thu
    • Jethro loves to give his people a hard time, it's his nature. And that's exactly what he was doing with Tony. I agree with you, Kat, that there is no disrespect intended or perceived by the characters involved. But as Gibbs was pointedly implying, the familiarity does invite questions. The answer may simply be a recognition of Tony's elevated status within NCIS. But the possibilities go way beyond that. This is quite possibly (as someone else here pointed out) the 'secret' of the season for this character. We shall see...... (NT) -- judy, 10:37:19 10/12/06 Thu

• Starbucks Coffee -- Larry, 12:59:50 10/05/06 Thu [13]
  Can anyone tell me what kind of coffee does Mark Harmon drinks on NCIS? I can see that the cup comes from Starbucks. Is it coffee or is it something else?

  • It may look like Starbucks, but I think it's a variation of the Starbucks label. If that were the case then Starbucks would be paying a lot of money to advertise on a tv show. (NT) -- Ryne's Mom, 13:38:24 10/05/06 Thu
  • Keeping in character, I bet Gibbs is supposed to drink straight black coffee, no fuss, no frills .... but I seem to recall that in one early episode, somebody takes Gibb's coffee by mistake and it was some sort of latte (not just plain coffee). I think Kate got Tony to take Gibb's coffee, and then we hear Gibbs ask "Where's my coffee?" or something like that. ..... So what was the question again, LOL? (NT) -- AmyLynn, 14:52:38 10/05/06 Thu
    • Ho back to sleep, Amy. When you wake, you shall have.....all the caffiiene that's available. Yes, I agree. Gibbs just wants caffiene,. never mind from where. But it's niot from Starbucks, lookalike cup notwhithstanding. What I want ot know is, where does he get Abby's cafpows? Not the same logo, so...not the same company. Why they went with a Starbucks look-a-like, I can only wonder. Seems to me that any made-up logo would have worked, so why did they try to imitate a very well known symbol. Does Starbucks profit? I wonder...... (NT) -- judy, 20:32:41 10/05/06 Thu

      • Nothing wrong with wine! woohoo Anyway, Remember way back when, Gibbs and Kate met at the coffee shop. Did either one mention the name of the shop? (NT) -- Ryne's Mom, 06:45:42 10/06/06 Fri
        • Kate's coffee shop is called D.C. Bean (Beans?), and that's where they meet. It isn't Gibbs' coffee place; she says that his "caffeine dealer" is a block away. (NT) -- Debby, 21:01:57 10/06/06 Fri
    • McGee once accidentally drank Gibbs' coffee ("Doppelganger"), but we don't find out what's in it. In the first season, McGee is sent out to get Tony a coffee with hazelnut. When Gibbs takes a gulp, he spits it out. He just gulps down Kate's coffee (she takes it with milk and sweetner) ("The Curse", "Reveille") (NT) -- Debby, 21:00:28 10/06/06 Fri
  • Ryne's Mom and judy are right--Gibbs' coffee shop is *not* Starbucks. It's just a generic cup that says "Fresh coffee" on the outside rim and has a coffee cup with steam coming out of it. (Link inside to a screencap.) -- Debby, 20:58:29 10/06/06 Fri
    • My guess is that it's not Starbucks because of money --- paying to use the symbol, unless they make a deal for product placement. Doesn't everything run by money? :-) And I love the line about "his [Gibbs'] caffeine dealer" ... that's just great! I love the humor ... (NT) -- AmyLynn, 07:17:05 10/09/06 Mon
      • The "caffeine dealer" makes me laugh, too. And product placement--maybe "NCIS" would boost their sales, like the boost in honey powder sales after "SWAK", LOL (NT) -- Debby, 02:16:44 10/10/06 Tue
        • I don't think Starbucks needs any product placement, LOL, they're doing great --- many already imagine that they're "imitating" the Starbucks look anyway, without anybody having to pay anything! .... Now if only I can remember to use this phrase next time I'm chatting with the baristas at my local Starbucks! (NT) -- AmyLynn, 06:27:34 10/10/06 Tue
