  1. I liked it mostly. The bits with Hetty dragged but the rest was good. I liked those call-outs to the past.

    Loved seeing Callen's Mr. Wallinsky alias again. I'm guessing that the cover is that he's in lock-up due to poor driving habits. And seeing him with that much hair was a hoot! Love the reactions to it back at the office.

     

    I didn't think we'd be hearing about Branston Cole again. Nice continuity there.

    Nice to see the team has Hetty's back and that Granger is on her side. Still think she needs a smackdown but I think it would mean more coming from the team, not Congress.

  2. Very interested in seeing Max again.And Ray should be a treat.

    I'm glad Afghanistan is being addressed but it can't just be about the kidnapping. I'm sure Hetty didn't intend for Kensi to be hurt but she was because shewas sent in blind. I really want Kensi to confront her about that.

  3. I think I'm in the minority but I like Skye's bangs. She looks a lot like Linda Cadellini did on ER to my mind.

     

    And also in my head, I'm fanwanking that the bangs are there to help obscure the shape of her face and make her slightly more surveillance camera resistant, as SHIELD is now operating from the shadows.

  4. Given that we've already had one team member turn out to be a mole, I don't think Simmons has really turned. 

     

    But given that scientific curiosity seems to drive a large part of her motivations, I don't think it's outside the realm that she joined for real. And what a twist that would be! 

  5. Once Meredith accepts that Maggie really is her sister, I expect she'd figure out that Richard is Maggie's father very quickly after that.  Whether Meredith tells her or goes to Richard first is a toss-up, but Meredith might be the one to point it out to Maggie.

    That is exactly what I was thinking!

     

    Meredith knows when Richard ended the relationship with Ellis and the (after Derek) he's probably the first person she's going to go to verify Maggie's story. Not to mention that Maggie of African American descent. Meredith may have her dumb moments but figuring out that Maggie is Richard's daughter won't be one of them.

  6. Yeah but is is driving me nuts. No way Sam has a child out there that he isn't an active parent to. Writers need to get it together. That is fairly big plot hole.

     

    As for Hetty, I like her but it's time to answer for Afghanistan. And it's time for her to face Kensi and confess what she has done.

  7. Loved seeing Sam and Callen MacGuyver their way out. And I thought it was very true to both their character that once they figured out what was going on, neither hesitated to accept that they had to stop the bomb, even if it killed them. Liked the aside to Sam writing a letter to family.

     

    Just how many kids does Sam have? He references a daughter occasionally and she usually sounds like an only child when he does. There was only 1 child in the picture he was carrying in Spoils of War. But he clearly said 'kids'. Either lazy writing/continuity or Sam a child who's life he is not very involved in. Which doesn't fit his character in the least.

     

    I'm not pleased they went to the catfight place with Kensi and Talia but I am glad it was more because Talia was very deliberately needling Kensi rather than straight jealousy. And I think it fits that neither of them would be wiling to tell Deeks what had happened. 

     

    Love the last scene of depth charges at the boathouse.  Trust Deeks to come up with something so wrong and yet so appropriate!

  8. Since Carla Gallo is pregnant for realsies, I'd think Daisy is going to been seen sparingly for a large part of the season.

     

     

    I didn't realize that. No wonder the belly looked so natural on her. Sometimes it's supremely obvious when an actress is wearing padding but this looked okay.

  9. Oh I like that! Ray was pretty cool and I'm sure having him around a little will be all sorts of entertaining. I wonder if this is the context in which we find out more about Deeks mom. I thought I remember that storyline getting kicked around last season but it getting shelved due to Dani's pregnancy.

  10. I wonder how this will sit with Deeks, though.  If he will joke about it being a fantasy come true (two women fighting over me!) or if it will be more "Hey Kens, I'm your raccoon who mates for life, lay off with the violence 'kay?"

    I really want it to be the second answer. If for no other reason I feel like Deeks has grown beyond the whole 'girl fight' thing, at least as far as Kensi goes.

  11. The original NCIS doesn't have gag reels on their DVD's either. I think it depends on the actors/production team. Some folks feel like a gag reel is embarrassing and highlighting screw-ups they'd rather keep hidden while others think it's just something funny to put out there. I have noticed that gag reels tend to be more prevalent with comedies rather than dramas.

  12. Thank you Sam84!

     

    While I am aware that we are not actually in danger of having Sam or Callen killed off, there did seem to a be a good amount of tension as to whether or not they're getting rescued. 

     

    As for the commentary on TVline, I'm thinking Talia's advice goes something like this: "Your partner talked you about the whole time we worked together. I happen to think he's a great cop and pretty easy on the eyes but he's clearly got a thing for you, so I didn't make a move. That courtesy will not last forever. Figure out your 'thing.' "

     

    The following is pure speculation on my part:

     

    We know Hetty is in pretty deep doo-doo over the Afghanistan debacle (and she probably should be!) and had to get out of it somehow. A huge chunk of her mystique is what she knows and who she knows.  Along those lines, I'm wondering if Senator Lockhart (from Merry Evasion) might show up again. He was pretty vocal about owing the team a debt and it would be a plausible way to get Hetty out of trouble.

     

    Of course, I also want to see a nice smack-down from Vance first, preferable with Granger in the room. I think they'd play nicely off each other and it gives me hope of seeing Grager go toe-to-toe with Gibbs. Which would be epic.

  13. I think Amelia will get some brother/career drama, especially if Derek ultimately remains in/returns to Seattle. She agreed to take over his practice and could find herself very much in her older brother's shadow, in a new city and having recently broken up with her financee/boyfriend. Not to mention she *is* in recovery and could find herself struggling with it.
