S01.E16: Bugs


Recommended Posts

There’s a lot of eating in this episode.

Why did Vera give her home phone number to Bugs? 😳 Anyway, Vera converting her second bathroom into her home office is unconventional.

Huh? The robbery case (that’s not worthy of Franks’ time) is connected to the Sandman case. Bring on the big bad. RIP Bugs!

Quote

“Are you telling me Roger is Sandman?”

“I think Wheeler is wasted.”

😂😂😂

Moody Franks is no fun. Even Gary Callahan cannot uplift his spirit. 

Gibbs can connect and emphatize with people in his own way — the Sunday ribs get together and the importance of that missing photo to Wyatt Morten. Gibbs cares without sugarcoating things.

These are the lines from E10 re the shredder:

Quote

MARY-JO: “Someone was shredding so much, they burnt out the motor on this thing. I can’t remember who Gail said it was.”

They need to talk to Gail, pronto. The threat comes from the inside.

Is “Operation Sundown” a mind-control program for the soldiers ala MK-Ultra? 👀

It was an old timey business phone with the light that shows what line is being used in her NCIS quirky bathroom office.

That was some slow response from the prison guard when you hear beating on the door with an unbound murderer in the room.

I have a sister who was a Corrections Officer in a male prison in the segregated section for the LGBTQ+. Watching one walking the yard with a K-9 or not made me double take. Maybe the warden should have watched a proto Mayor of Kingston.

Exactly how many murders happen to Naval personal in Southern California in a year anyway?  It seems that if your agency is trolling for burglary cases because the victim is in the reserves while you are keeping your feet up on the desk the SecNav  could have used that money spent on you to on a S.A.M upgrade to defend the fleet.

Since the navy has a large fleet in San Diego and the Marines have a large base in the area I would say as many as get killed (or kill) in DC/Virginia/Newport News on original NCIS.

Or as many as the writers want to happen in either location.  😉

I had forgotten the Sandman thing and the "previously" didn't even ring a bell.  Some guy with a long, narrow face gets killed because some guy code word Sandman is tying up loose ends from something I didn't remember at all.  Par for the course for me, lol.

I find this show to be so dark and dreary. And lord knows, I love Mark Harmon-ever since his 240-Robert  days, but is voice overs are so…I don't have the exact words-but with knowing how Gibbs’ career with NIS/NCIS started, this show contradicts so MUCH. They should have done this without the character of one Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Gibbs hated therapy of any and every kind and refused to talk to shrinks, doctors, whatever if he could help it.

It would be one thing to plug in the holes, but to change what was his and Franks’ original past and events, just irks me. Maybe if I hadn’t watched the original and know the canon. 

I find I watch while reading this site, and don’t really pay attention because it’s just not engaging. I gave it a chance when Inhad no plans to even watch, and for me, it’s disappointing. The original’s theme music is far superior as was the show the first four seasons. And I know it’s not fair to compare, so sue me!

With Law & Order on constant loop I don't think a period piece of 90s law enforcement without cellphones and PC search engines is enough to sell a show.

Maybe going back to the 60s and the actual beginnings of the pre name change service instead of Gibbs retires from the Marine Corps. But then those who have actual first hand nostalgia of the 1960s are out of the advertisers' targeted demographic while early 90s performers can headline a Super Bowl halftime with all of the original band members.

After what NCIS has done with JAG canon over the decades I just never paid the attention to it like a Trekkie would

I think "out of character" is the the description you're looking for!  Gibbs running off at the mouth about his past is so ridiculous that I do a lot of eye rolling while thinking "get on with it already...." but I really like Austin Stowell in the role and he's the main reason I watch.  And YES IT'S TOO DARK AND DREARY!
