NCIS!

1) "Forced Entry" (2x9) has won the official title of crappiest episode I've seen so far! When my sister and I were watching it, it was just confusing, but the more I think about it the worse it is.

2) "Call of Silence" (2x7) -- the one with the Iwo Jima Medal of Honor recipient -- almost made me cry. *SNIFF*

3) Gibbs telling Kate that when Ducky was younger, he looked like Illya Kuryakin: clever use of injokiness, or horribly cheesy use?

4) Non-NCIS content: I really enjoyed "McKay and Mrs. Miller", which I was worried about even though you guys all loved it, because, well, often I have the exact opposite reaction as my friends list (see the difference in the John and Elizabeth episodes). But this was cute, yay! And, honestly? I saw more McKay/Sheppard here than I ever have before, simply because I think this is one of the first episodes where it seemed like they (and also the team as a whole) were being portrayed as actual friends.

Back to watching "The Meat Puzzle" (2x13) now. I love Ducky centric episodes! Although it has meant a regrettable lack of Abby so far.

(Icon choice now has me imagining Babs and Abby in the same place. Heh.)

NCIS is one of my happy places... well, most of the time, anyway. There's an occasional bad ep, but they usually do a good job, and the subtext is so thick on the ground for any imaginable pairing that there's something for everyone. I can't wait for the new season to start. Very soon!

If you find yourself in the mood for fic, try twoweevils. Their fic is here (http://www.evolfic.com/ncis/index.htm). (Mostly Gibbs/DiNozzo.)

I am so happy you're watching NCIS. The weevils ARE a good place to go for NCIS fic, also oceana_ and her recs.

And you must HURRY and meet Ziva and watch S3 so you can watch "Shalom" next week with us/the world!!!!

The only reason I watch NCIS is for Abby and Ducky. And as for the "Illya Kuryakin" line, I am an old Man From UNCLE fan (from the first time it aired, even) and I howled in absolute delight over that. A lot of MfU fans feel the same way, so it may be cheesy, but it's still wonderful from our perspective.

*saves fic recs up for when I'm in the mood* Thanks!

I do not think I will catch up that fast, but I am steadily working my way through!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles* In that case it sounds like an excellent use of injoke references -- yay!

It's amazing how many times NCIS makes me tear up. It made me discover a soft spot for soldiers and the like that I never realized I had.

Found you via friendsfriends, and I have to share the love for NCIS. I'm working my way through the s1 dvds, though I saw 2 & 3 when they aired. God, I just love every character on that show, but ABBY OMG ♥ ALL OVER. She is the best thing ever.

(And I grew up in Newport News, and half my family still lives in Norfolk or Virginia Beach, so every couple of episodes me or my mother gets to squeal "I know that place! We've been there!")

And I'll bet you totally saw/'shipped Jeannie/Rodney in that ep, didn't you? :P

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OMG ZEE. WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH SHAME TO NOT POST ABOUT IT, THAT MEANS YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MOCK ME FOR IT!

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D I know you! That's all.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles* You are very tear-up-y, though.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ooh, the local thing is always fun.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I didn't used to be! It annoys me! I don't like being the Teary-up-y person!
