anna0852 November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment
Gramto6 November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 I don't know how exactly I feel about this one. I did enjoy seeing Jennifer Kim again and that part of the show was OK for me...missing Granger a lot... 2 Link to comment
EtheltoTillie November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 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? Link to comment

Maybe I just watch too much Call the Midwife but I knew what was being said. 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. 19 minutes ago, GussieK said: Pretty silly, but people here have been aa skiing for more undercover work, so you got that.

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? Edited November 4, 2019 by LittlePeas3 Link to comment
Ellee November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited November 4, 2019 by Ellee 1 Link to comment
Linda956 November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 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. 3 Link to comment
HurricaneVal November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 Fatima is rapidly becoming my favorite character. 4 Link to comment
piedmontgirl November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 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". Link to comment

OMG, that is so ludicrous. That is something Deeks would do--and Kensi. 7 hours ago, Linda956 said: What on earth was that? Another episode with cartoon characters running around and being annoying.

Either that or cancel the show because this is really becoming frustrating. 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. 13 hours ago, Ellee said: It might be time to pick additional team members to join in and develop their storylines. 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. 15 hours ago, GussieK said: Pretty silly, but people here have been aa skiing for more undercover work, so you got that. 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. Link to comment

dirtydi November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 Wanted to love this, but didn't. I appreciated the different style, but the case and undercover part were boring to me. Vinnie Jones cracks me up, but I wanted it to be funnier. Link to comment
