  1. Since Chummy is also married and works as a midwife, I really don't understand why Mrs. Turner can not.

    I want Chummy back.

    I think it's her own sense of duty as a wife and mother that is holding her back. Renouncing her vows as a nun was incredibly difficult for Mrs. Turner and left her with a lingering sense of having betrayed/turned her her back on her sisters. We saw her struggling with this during the second Christmas special. I think she sees being the best homemaker possible as the route to 'make up for that' as it were. Given his comment about her 'being wasted' as his secretary, I don't think Dr. Turner would be opposed at all to Shelagh working part-time as a midwife. My theory is that it is her own sense of duty to the home and her commitment to being a wife/mother that is holding her back.

  2. Yeah, the promo monkeys are getting old. But it's what they always do. 

     

    I take comfort from the fact that the promos and marketing are done by CBS and not the show staff themselves. At least we know Shane and Co. aren't trying to mess with us deliberately (at least about this!).

  3. Me too KPC! If for no other reason, I can't come up with any on-screen reasons we've seen for IA to investigate Deeks in the first place. Did that that IT mole guy (can't remember his name) plant some electronic evidence or something?

     

    I'm really racking my brains about what could have prompted this. Especially if it is something that neither Hetty nor Kensi is aware of. 

  4. Having a young kid pop out of the blue is a Jump the Shark sign.  So no kids for Deeks!  (unless he and Kensi have a kid together, doing that raccoon thing).  

     

     

     

    Yeah, that is what I meant about that not sounding like a throwaway line. Not that Deeks has some kid out there don't know about. I'm think a year or so from now, maybe when DR starts thinking about having another child and oh look, this one gets written in. 

  5. As for Tony, I found him to be incredibly selfish. He made a choice to marry, and his wife was about to give birth.  He then commits an illegal act (whether it should have been illegal is irrelevant) in public, yet he acted like he was the victim the whole time. Oh Tony, you had no idea you were gay until after you got married and got your wife pregnant? How about instead of whining about everything, you just do your best to be a good father to your child?  Hate, hate the fact the show tried to manipulate us emotionally by making us feel sorry for a guy who was ultimately a self-centered person.

    Yes!  This, a thousand times this. I'm not condemning the gay thing at all. I'm condemning the whole 'cheating, selfish, law-breaking, victim card' thing. Right or wrong (and I think that law was wrong, wrong, wrong) he knew what he was doing could get him arrested. He knew he was gay and chose to marry, father a child and take such a risk. That's on him.

  6. No, she's not. Which makes me a little crazy. She was an established character on mothership and to have her play a different one here smacks of lazy casting/continuity for shows set in the same universe.

  7. I really couldn't tell: did they try to de-age Linda with make-up or did they get a different actor and dub the voice?

     

    And I never again need to see Callen and Kensi doing the bf/gf thing undercover again. Their relationship is too sibling-like for that to be anything but icky.

     

    I do appreciate that in what was a pretty tense/serious episode, the undercover thing wasn't used for comedy. Simply a matter of get job done and move on.

  8. Yeah, the whole 'racist, white supremecist' thing was really hard to watch. I think for me because that sort of thought process is really repugnant and really alien to me.

     

    I have to wonder how difficult it was for LL to play those scenes. Not to mention the actors playing those awful people. I suppose it is a testament to their professionalism but yeesh, was hard roles to deal with. I read somewhere that when Bryce Dallas Howard did the The Help she had trouble getting some of the most offensive language out of her mouth and was constantly apologizing for afterwards. I wonder if the actors tonight had similar issues.

     

    I like the call back to the Walinski legend for Callen. That goes back to Season 1!

     

    What the hell was with Deeks making that comment about 'for all our kids'? No way that was some throw away line.

     

    Is there any pretense left that NCIS:LA and the mothership still exist in the same universe? I mean, the actor that plays the younger version of Gibbs showed up here tonight!

  9. I kept expecting Cam to suggest she go with Aristoo, or even instead of him. Her citizenship is not in question, but clearly she didn't want to make any sacrifices or deal with the situation at all on any level. I really didn't like how easily she was willing to dismiss the concern over his brother.

    Cam going to Iran is just not plausible. The Iranian government is extremely anti-american and the US still does not have diplomatic relations with them. And that is before you consider their religious stance on single women and non-Muslims. Cam would be at very high risk of being arrested as a "spy", the way others have been when just hiking along the border.

  10. I agree with all of this. I don't remember if there is a Leonard Dad in the picture, however, his mom is a successful woman that I'm sure paid for Leonards education. Not buying it either. 

    Have you met Beverly Hofstadter? I highly doubt one parental cent was contributed to Leonards education and I suspect he preferred it that way. Any money from her would have resulted in massive amounts of scrutiny of not just grades but school choices, major's and even the topics of papers. I'm willing to bet money that Leonard wanted her purse strings nowhere near his college education and until this moment considered it money well spent.

  11. 6x21 "Beacon": Callen and Sam are shocked when an old acquaintance, who they thought was the recent victim of a murder, appears and asks for their help. As the team investigates, they uncover a possible breach of America's economic sanctions against Russia. Monday, April 20

     

    And ideas who this might be?

  12. I think it has something to do with his friend from Plan B.  Or he's being framed.  I still think Hetty knows everything about her agents (as evidenced in season 2 when she says that Sam is overwatering his lawn).

     

    I'm wondering if Sam, Kensi, and Callen will have his back or if they'll believe whatever IA says.

    I think it's Ray as well.

     

    No way that Sam or Callen (and especially Kensi) won't have Deeks back.
