janet, how can you know if someone is michael and writing under another name or not? Just sayin'. As for Tom's comment. Think about it - it's true. It seems just fine for some (not all do this) Ziva fans to call EJ a skanky whore, write things like they hope that the only way she comes back is on Ducky's autopsy table, or to tweet nasty things to SJM. How is this behavior any better than what you accuse Michael of? The message seems to be it's fine to be a "hater" as long as you hate who I hate. Double standard much?

Michael - do you just come in here to cause trouble? You make no sense. I don't even know WHY you watch this show...you hate Ziva..you think Abby is not needed...buddy, if they only had Tony and Gibbs as you seem to want (and by the way what is up with that?) there would not be a show. Be reasonable will ya.
So, I say to you - someone needs to do something with Michael - I am really wondering if we ever need to hear from him again.

I enjoyed this episode. I thought it was understated and enjoyed Tony's dilemma and the way he dealt with it. I also liked the way Gibbs and McGee supported Tony. While having father issues has become somewhat cliche on this show, I rather like the not overly dramatic way in which Tony's relationship is evolving. Some of the comments here, appear to be of the "he needs to get over it" variety, but Tony lost his mother at 8, and his father was largely absent both physically and emotionally. This kind of lonely existence leaves a scar on people and Tony has never really had much opportunity to confront Senior, since he was eventually supposedly shipped to boarding school and cut off from his father at a young age. Although not full of explosive action - I thought the episode was nice.

I thought it was a great episode. The interactions between Gibbs and Dinozzo Sr. were my favorite. Tony never did want money, just a father's love. Also McGee telling Tony that they were "down one very special agent" was very sweet.
This episode was the lowest rated show in a very long time. Maybe the producers will realize that as we tired of Eli we also tire of 3 shows in a row with the same plot line. Tony at 43 is depressed over his father leaving him in a hotel when he was 13 after the poor man's wife died. Instead of Gibbs empathizing with Tony he needs to tell him to grow up and take care of his father he is 80 now. Jeez. NCIS move on with this storyline, it really is making me think less of DiNozzo. They have changed Tony into a whimpering 40 year old that can't keep a women and is traumatized by being alone for one night at 13. Bring the team back, end Tony's weird back story and let's get back to the good stories and acting. Also get rid of Robert Wagner.

Michael, I don't think Robert Wagner Jr is the most hated man alive - not sure where you get your facts, but a lot of others come to mind first - I was around when the incident happened and no one thought he had anything to do with her death - regardless, I will always love this show - it could be the worst episode or the best - it is something I don't miss - I love the cast and think each of them work well off the other - every single combination works! As "they" say - it if ain't broke, don't fix it!
Worst episode of the year. They really need to move DiNozzo senior over to the same room they locked Eli David in. They need to show Tony growing as a person and not resenting his father for something that happened 40 years ago. I think it's time to put Robert Wagner in the back burner. Let's move on to some back story of Abby and McGee or start something new for Ziva like they did last year with Tony exploring his police past. I have to say next year if Robert Wagner is on I will definitly skip.

This episode was fabulous! I think Robert Wagner and Michael Weatherly work fantastically off one another. People who say it was predictable.....when are they not. Marine dies; investigation; team working together; crime solved! If you don't like that.....then don't watch. IF this was your least favorite episode, it is time for you to move on! I like the fact that it is the whole team working together and interacting. That is what we all fell in love with.....it should stay that way! Good episode.
Always love it when Robert Wagner is on NCIS. He does such a superb job. Last night was no exception. He is a great recurring addition to the show. Hope they do not kill him off the way they did Muse Watson!

One of my least favorites of the season. I felt like I had seen this before. Predictable, no character depth (get over it Tony your an adult now) and bad acting. Seemed like the actors were just going through the motions except Mark Harmon - he's superb always. I think it's time for Wagner to go back to his infomercials. Last 2 weeks have been awesome and then this filler ep. I do think it's time to put the daddy episodes to rest for awhile. Cameos are fine but an entire show is rough.

It was a good episode but I wish to see more Ziva, Tim and Abby in episodes. I think they need to stop focusing on Gibbs as a father figure for some time and focus on the team's interactions which have been lacking this season. And finally please give me some tiva love - not just Senior urging Tony to sweep her off her feet!

I think you need to add me to the disappointed for this episode. I think the Junior-Senior relationship has reached it's limit now. I too would vote for a one year vacation from Robert Wagner. I was wondering also why nobody checked the bar and interviewed people to see who drugged Senior. That made no sense to me. I love the freshness of having someone like Lily Tomlin on and I'm sure they can do so much with her. Robert Wagner has never been a great actor and I'm not sure how much longer they are going to go the same route with the storyline. Keep Lily and get rid of Wagner. His storyline has been exhausted.

I really felt this show was a retread. I could not understand why Gibbs didn't check the bar at the beginning of the show and also why Tony is still struggling as an almost 50 year old about his father who he talks to throughout the season and who visits him every year. It isn't like his father left him ion the desert to die. I do hope this is the end of the "my father doesn't love me" and let me go "cry to Gibbs" ep. Also the killer I knew 5 minutes into the show when McGee and Ziva went to visit. Personally I;ve had enough of Robert Wagner for a year. Michael Weatherly was good in the episode I would just like to see him get on with his life with his father and take another angle. He's not the only kid that grew up with one parent.

It was a fabulous one that for sure way better then last weeks by miles the one thing that did bother me was Mcgee I mean after all he did the samething with his Sister and his grandmother were a part of the case tony had his back why could't Mcgee have tony's.
Also Vance prove to me why he better then Jenny at the job because even though he know its wrong for a agent to be invloed with a case that has a family memeber he knows that there no point in arging with gibbs
As much as I like Tony father I think maybe its time for him to go considering the actor who play him is now the most hated man alive

The best was when Gibbs was telling Sr that Tony doesn't and never did care about the money that all he wanted was a dad.
And Gibbs being a father like figure toward Tony.
Then the end when Tony was pouring his heart out to Gibbs about his dad leaving him again and not telling him. Then all of a sudden he poops out from the kitchen.
They are making a slow start at tiring to be father and son. But I think he is still closer to Gibbs and always will be. He spends more time with Gibbs so Gibbs knows him.
