MostlyC April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 Callen and Sam are shocked when a presumed dead murder victim turns out to be alive So....who do you think is bringing home the Beacon? Will they fry it up in a pan? Link to comment
secnarf April 18, 2015 Share April 18, 2015 A couple of sneak peeks (and minor spoilers including who the supposed murder victim is):http://hwhills.com/ncis-los-angeles-season-6episode-21-two-new-spoiler-clips-released/ Link to comment
anna0852 April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 (edited) Solid episode tonight. I feel we're being very well set up for the last 3 (omg, it feels like the season just started, how can we be be staring at hiatus already?!). Hints of Callen's story coming into play again as well as the IA investigation for Deeks.I can't figure what is going on with Deeks though. Did he do something (and manage to hide it from all including Hetty) or is he just as puzzled by this as they are? Time will tell I suppose. I do like that Kensi seems to know when to push and when to back off, and that Deeks is not keeping secrets from her.Love Granger being the loop and not caring! Also his utter exasperation with the dramatic tendencies and pauses. Right there with you Owen. Edited April 21, 2015 by anna0852 1 Link to comment
Trey April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Love Granger being the loop and not caring! Also his utter exasperation with the dramatic tendencies and pauses. Right there with you Owen. Granger has really grown on me over the seasons. I actually thought Deeks does know what the investigation is about. I could be wrong. Is there any chance Arkady is Callen's father? They seem to have quite a connection. 2 Link to comment
anna0852 April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 I thought that too but I could have sworn an earlier episode ruled that out. 1 Link to comment
Julia April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Also his utter exasperation with the dramatic tendencies and pauses. Right there with you Owen. Which was also kind of funny in a meta way, since Miguel Ferrer's dad was all about the dramatic tendencies and pauses. Link to comment
Trini April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Wait, didn't Arkady murder that guy he blew up? I know he's an asset/source blah blah blah, but they couldn't hold him for that at least? This show, sometimes. Link to comment

This show, sometimes. True, he did kill the guy. But it was self defense - the other guy was a hit man out to kill Arkady. Link to comment
secnarf April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 I thought he shot the guy dead first, then blew up the car. So, the murder itself was self-defence. 2 Link to comment
Lebanna April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Yeah, Arkady supposedly can't be Callen's dad because he says they were friends and Callen has a video of a guy who isn't Arkady playing with him and his sister when they were kids. I keep hoping they'll somehow undo that, though. Rather like I've been waiting for the original Amy Callen to come back from the dead. Link to comment
GCcyclones April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Delurking to ask a question. . . When Eric and Nell ID'd the guy who was trying to kill Arkady, using snippets of his reflection from windows and mirrors, their reaction to who it was, as you all have mentioned, was very dramatic. Then we find out later that it was the disgraced policeman, who had no obvious connection to the team (other than the likely connection to Deeks, which has yet to be explored). Based on Eric and Nell's reaction, I was expecting the guy to be some big baddie from a past season. Did I miss something, or was it drama for the sake of drama? 1 Link to comment
anna0852 April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 (edited) I think it was sake of drama, hilariously pointed put by Granger about 30 seconds later. Edited April 21, 2015 by anna0852 1 Link to comment
secnarf April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I thought the guy from the reflections and mirrors was Arkady - they got reflections of him as he was leaving after killing his would-be assassin and blowing up the car. At the time they thought Arkady was killed, therefore the guy leaving would be the guy who killed him. That's why Nell told Eric that maybe he should tell Hetty that it was a ghost. 3 Link to comment
KittenPokerCheater April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I really liked this episode. Granger was hilarious. Arkady is back! I feel like he's indestructible. (but if they make him Callen's father then I am certain they'll kill him off). I like how he interacts with the rest of the cast. I hope they don't put off the Deeks' under investigation plot. 1 Link to comment

I agree with all of this. I'm pretty sure Arkady has been ruled out as Callen's father though. Didn't they establish that his dad was Russian soldier that vanished into the gulags back in the 70's? Loved Granger showing initiative in protecting Deeks from IA. 1 Link to comment

I always worry that there will be some re-writing of the storyline (since tv shows seem to do that a fair amount). I'm going to have faith in the show runners for now. I forgot that about Granger being cranky and looking out for Deeks. I'm iffy on the character sometimes, but ever since Granger had the Meerkat line, I feel like he's becoming more part of the team and less of an adversary. 1 Link to comment
GCcyclones April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Thanks anna0852 and secnarf! I hadn't considered the idea that Eric and Nell saw Arkady's face. Link to comment
mtmjr April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I hadn't considered the idea that Eric and Nell saw Arkady's face. I'm glad it's not just me, because that whole sequence confused me until I re-watched the episode just now. I guess it was so clear to me that Arkady was the one who walked away from the car in the cold open (I mean, it was totally his swagger :), that I forgot that the characters still thought he was probably blown up. As a huge Deeks fan, I too loved that first scene with Granger, where he suggested that Hetty shouldn't send Kensi and Deeks into the field, because they needed to protect Deeks from the IA investigation. Even at the middle of last season, I think Granger would have said that they needed to pull Deeks to protect Kensi, or to protect NCIS, rather than to protect him. I like to think that Granger finally realizes Deeks' value to the team. Especially since Granger made that super-mean crack last season about how sending Deeks to Afghanistan would be like a National Lampoon vacation movie, only to have Deeks totally save everyone's ass when they all were there. I also thought that Deeks' response to Kensi, when she asked him if IA was going to find anything, was really odd. What does "I don't know how to answer that" mean? Surely the answer is either "No, there's nothing to find," or "Well, I guess if they dig hard enough, then there's . . ." How do you not know how to answer that? Since the last three episodes of the season are supposed to be an arc, and since the two elements appear to be Callen, Arkady and nefarious Russians, and Deeks' problems with IA, and since there is already a cross over of two disgraced (and dead) former LAPD detectives, I am wicked curious to see how and if the threads pull together. 1 Link to comment
betsyboo April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 please, someone refresh my memory - at one point in the series, Hetty gives Deeks an application for NCIS. Has Deeks talked about a specific reason why he has continued to be an LA detective instead of moving over to NCIS? Was it just to have this IA investigation storyline? Link to comment
anna0852 April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 She gave him the application back in Season 2,when he was fairly new. I believe Deeks was really flattered but said being a cop was part of who he was and wanted to stay liaison. I don't think it was done for this particular story line unless the writers are playing a very long game. 1 Link to comment

I thought maybe it was because he and Kensi could skate on their relationship because he wasn't *technically an agent. Link to comment
