chitowngirl October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 Why can’t Leon have nice things? And wouldn’t the PT know Leon Stalker was faking it? 20 Link to comment
Katy M October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 OK, so I wasn't fully paying attention, but the lawyer (or whatever) person came in and said that the Supreme Court said they couldn't ping any more. And Bishop actually said "Vance would never sign off on that." Really? Vance decides which Supreme Court rulings they will follow? I think not. I was getting deja vu when Torres and Bishop were getting shot at. Poor Vance. Guy can't catch a break. Not interested in someone trying to kill him. Otherwise, kind of boring. Funny that McGee watches reality TV, though. It's fun sometimes to see random aspects of the characters' lives. Not sure when he finds the time, though. Seems like they work from dawn until midnight. 4 minutes ago, chitowngirl said: Why can’t Leon have nice things? And wouldn’t the PT know Leon Stalker was faking it? Maybe not. Depends on what the exact injury is. Or maybe, depending on how many PTs are there, she doesn't even really have an appointment. She comes in. Everyone assumes that she's waiting for an appointment and after a while she slips out. 1 1 Link to comment

stonehaven October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I rather enjoyed that...and whomever said that people on here can't have a happy home life was spot on...the episode didn't put me to sleep and Kasie seemed to be fitting in nicely... I missed Ducky but an noticing Palmer sorta morph into him. 2 Link to comment

No how. Delilah is a smart woman and has children who are walking and talking and she is turning them into little people who giggle and laugh and amuse themselves when they aren't mimicing Mommy. Tim comes home and interacts with his children, being the Dad that he wishes his Dad had time to be. Fer gosh sakes, don't dumb either of these folks down.

I still want them to bring back Mary Staurt Masterson for him some day. And now they got my attention because I want to know who has is out for Vance. But it was good seeing him get back in the game and reading that bomber. 3 Link to comment
Xeliou66 October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 Not to get overly political, but I disliked the anti privacy propaganda, the 4th Amendment exists for a reason and it’s a great thing, it isn’t good for the authorities to know everything about everyone, and I don’t like the propaganda implying that the 4th Amendment is a bad thing. The case was decent enough, McGee’s reactions were funny, I missed Ducky a lot though, NCIS just isn’t the same without him, and it seems they’ve decreased the ME’s role, Palmer wasn’t on much tonight. I’m still liking Kasie much better than Abby, she doesn’t do the childish behavior crap, and it’s nice to have Gibbs back in the lab, it was very unnatural how they kept him out of it all of last season because the actors couldn’t be professional enough to do their jobs. Nice to see Vance back in action and involved with the case, but what’s with the woman who’s apparently working with someone stalking Vance? 7 Link to comment

The whole thing with having to get a warrant before pinging is that has been the law all along. SCOTUS just made it clearer when some defendant made it an issue when some police department or agency like NCIS went ahead with out getting a warrant and that's how they arrested him. NCIS agents should have known that all along, before the lawyer came back at the end to finish her talk. Lots of cop shows have the police get warrants before doing things like searching someone's apartment. It's not as if this is something new. 12 Link to comment

JessDVD October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I shouted "REALLY?!" at the TV so many times after Fake PT Patient was revealed to be .. whatever she is, so many times that Mr. DVD told me to get a grip.

Katy M October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 Maybe the PT is in on it. Whatever it is. Or, maybe they just don't care as long as they're able to scam the insurance company and they think that's all that is going on. 1 Link to comment

meira.hand October 10, 2018 Share October 10, 2018 I got the impression that the fake PT patient and the guy handling her were part of an official investigation of some kind. In this case they could easily get the PT to help them as she would not be breaking the law. 4 Link to comment

LuvMyShows October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 Need help with something from the plot. I fell asleep after they suspected the obsessed fan but a second bomb went off while he was being interrogated, so it couldn't have been him...then I woke up when Torres and Bishop were being shot at, but I don't know how they got to that point. How did the guy shooting at them become a suspect? Link to comment
enoughcats October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 The timing of the second bomb had it being delivered to the delivery service while obsessed fan was being interrogated. The chemical signatures of the two bombs were identical and in the second one they found a more recognizable metal pin like the more melted piece of metal in the first bomb. Gibbs recognized that as the "Seal Pin", and they started looking for commonality between the two bombings. First at Seals who had washed out and were in the potential first victim's Seal class, then at Seals who made it to a certain stage in the demolition training. That gave them their suspect and they brought him in. After he shot at Torres , etc. as they were trying to bring him in. Link to comment

He had already conned the PT people into continuing to see him for another week and he was also putting off his daughter. I don't think the interaction with Jack or with fake-PT-woman had an impact to get him back to work, so it rang hollow as to why he magically showed back up to work. I also thought it was weird how Torres, Bishop et all were just standing around playing Hangman and leaving it up on that huge screen for so long. 3 Link to comment

Yes, however IIRC, when DiNozzo would do the movie quotes, McGee seemed to be disdainful of frivolous movies.

In the DC area, you can't just call a PT place and see somebody on your own. You have to have a doctor's order.

brgjoe October 12, 2018 Share October 12, 2018 <goes to YouTube and shoots a video> Crying into the camera and saying, "Leave Leon ALOOOOOOONE! You bastards! He didn't do anything to you! LEAVE LEON ALONE!!" Ok, composing myself now. I mean, seriously though. After all the guy has been through. You have to set up something else to possibly harm him. Definitely way too soon in any case for me. My WTF moment was when Torres wanted Bishop to take the bullet out of him. Right there in the middle of a shootout. Really!? He couldn't at least wait until backup showed up!? Or even an ambulance. Though I guess I got to admire the dude's pain tolerance for even asking for her to try and do that. And I don't know why they were objecting so much to the warrantless pinging. How many times has McGee hacked into various databases without permission or any sort of a warrant? He's even done so with a wink and a nod from Gibbs. Doing an occasional warrantless ping would be something I could easily see him doing anyway. Question though -- if they were looking to find one of their own in case of an emergency, would they still need a warrant to do so? Anyway, this was an OK episode. Probably like this one better than the previous one. 1 Link to comment

twoods October 12, 2018 Share October 12, 2018 It was shrapnel in Torres’s back, so it hurt whenever he moved and he needed it out to try to catch the shooter. I bought it, because most of it was sticking out and Bishop could have just lifted it out with the knife. 3 Link to comment
