The back half of this one wasn't that bad. Decent plot line and we got to see Jennifer Kim again. I could have done without all the accent jokes in the beginning and the weird split screens and definitions of british slang. Maybe I just watch too much Call the Midwife but I  knew what was being said.

Pretty silly, but people here have been aa skiing for more undercover work, so you got that. Also another big shootout in the middle of LA. These people get involved in more shootouts than anyone in history. I don’t watch the other franchises. Is it the same?

 I really liked seeing them all dressed up, everyone but Deeks reminded me of undercover in the past.  Kensi especially looked like she did when they dressed her up in the early seasons.  Of late, she looks just as scruffy as Deeks does.  He really  really needs a hair cut!!!! The premise in the illegal gambling establishment was blah.  I do like Jennifer Kim though.  The spit screen bit seemed to be very Ocean's 11 to me, but I haven't ever watched a James Bond, so I really don't know about that one.  The accents did me in though - they all didn't have to have the same one, you can tell where a person in England is from because of their accents, they are not all as sharp as the one Steve Valentine has.  The accents really grated on me.

Not so sure about NCIS NO, but the mothership rarely has shootouts in the middle of Washington DC.  I remember watching in season 5 when DiNozzo crossed over thinking they didn't use their weapons much. as he held his funny and was shooting one handed and waving his gun around like an ameteur trying to look professional.  You rarely see them shoot on NCIS.  Gibbs, maybe, but he was a sniper, so you would expect him to know what he was doing.  I know DiNozzo was a police officer, but seriously, he sucked at looking convincing shooting at a suspect in the crossover.  

ETA; the writers aren't going to make it a new thing between Jennifer Kim and Callen, are they?

It was nice seeing Granger.  

It might be time to pick additional team members to join in and develop their storylines.  

It is probably too soon to have Hidoko come back from the dead but would like that to happen.  I also like the young man that appeared an episode or two ago that helped the team save the new citizens ceremony.  And now Granger’s daughter.  There is more I’m sure but these are the only ones that came to mind.

What on earth was that?  Another episode with cartoon characters running around and being annoying.  I found the two Brits to be extremely obnoxious.  And again, I ask: Where is Hetty?  Where is Eric?  Where is Nell?  Is Fatima running Operations this week?  She seemed to be the only one there.  When they gave the 2 Brits Hetty's liquor and said it belonged to their boss, I yelled at the screen: And where the hell is she?  This show needs a re-haul.  If these actors can't be bothered to show up and be in these episodes, get rid of them and bring in new actors to replace them.  Either that or cancel the show because this is really becoming frustrating.

Who are the British guys that everyone seemed to know? Were they in a previous episode?  I don't know about the actors who play Hetty and Nell, but the actor who plays Eric was on a planned leave so he could appear in a stage production of "Angels in America".

I have no idea who the "distraught father" was, but Steve Valentine was in Crossing Jordan.

Clown noses, give me a break.

The idea that Callen and Sam would go to a Halloween party IN COSTUMES? OMG, that is so ludicrous. That is something Deeks would do--and Kensi.

This is the only network procedural where the GUEST actors are given more to do and more screen time than the regular cast. It's as if Gemmill and Military are casting actors THEY have a personal interest in working with and to hell with the story. Oh, and let's be sure and have Kensi dress up because, you know, she's the woman on the team.

How about FINISHING the storyline with Callen? They end S10 with Sam saying, "You're very damaged." And then --- nothing. So, when did he get better, or was that just another throwaway line? The writers spend an entire episode on a Densi "false alarm," but they can't even deal with Callen's losses or his relationship with Alex and Jake. Does anyone know what's happened to that "family" of his? And what about Sam? Have Kam and Aiden dropped dead? He's their only parent and yet he never calls, he never talks about them. He's going to "get involved" with that crazy Katherine and still have Michelle's ashes that he was going to scatter in S9. My god, these writers are absolute amateurs at "continuing" a character's life onscreen OR off; characters either disappear without a word (like Hetty) or people from a character's past just suddenly cease to exist. It's like that tool from MIB wipes out the writers' memories.

Dressing up and spending a few minutes in an illegal casino is not undercover work. Undercover is what they did in Rage, An Unlocked Mind, Plan B, Purity, Citadel, etc. That's undercover work; this is dress up. They didn't adopt a persona; they adopted bad accents.

I couldn't get over the fact that Callen and Sam just sat out of sight during the shootout, waiting, and then DROVE the Challenger the few hundred yards. Really?
