Like leele, I was enjoying seeing Willow and Oz together again, made even more delicious by an appearance of Wesley Wyndam-Price (Alexis Denisof) on the same episode. A major Buffy/Angel reunion! Plus, Seth Green played Alyson Hanigan's boy friend, and Alexis Denisof is her real-life husband. I love that kind of ironic cross-over.
I'm very excited. My DVD set of the first season of PoI arrived today. I missed some episodes last year, and this is one of those shows you cannot get online without paying for it. I think one could consider the weekend coming up to be another Lost Weekend, and I don't even drink!
I, too, have been wracking my brains trying to figure out how he is going to get out of the predicament in which he was left. January cannot come too soon!
I found the sight of the gorgeous Mr. Kutcher in those antlers to be a giggle-inducing delight. I don't really care what he does. But I also liked this episode. I did find Berta's kindness somewhat surprising. She has seemed to me in the episodes I have seen (not too many during the Charlie Sheen era, most during the Ashton Kutcher era) to be a heartless bitch. I would never expect Berta to do a nice thing for anyone without compensation.
Actually, I liked this episode a great deal. More than most in the last few years. I do think that Sarah and the NTSB agent had been lovers, based on her comment that the shared investigation had been a lengthy one. I, too, think Grissom should be back in town, but not hanging out at work. It would e very unfortunate if the writers choose to destroy that marriage. Grissom supposedly left to be with Sarah. So, he should BE with Sarah. And I like having her back on the show. A week or two ago she was talking old times with Nick. It was nice.
I watch this show to see Hetty and Deeks, in that order. I don't pay much mind to the stories. So, half the fun was gone tonight.
I think Eric and Nell are becoming a couple. He has explained himself to her several times now, to make it clear that he was not out with another woman. And she made it clear to him that she slept over at Hetty's, not at another man's.
The thing I found myself considering during this episode was that finally, after twenty-odd years, Miguel Ferrer is beginning to grow on me. The only decent human I ever saw him play was on ER once, but they are finally putting some layers on his character, and adding a little humor. I like it.
Considering what tuna costs, I find it odd that they were smuggling ten dollar disks in fifty dollar fish. I thought that she was quite consistent from last time to this time. She has the temperament of a stepped-on rattlesnake, and she always has had, at least since she divorced Gibbs.
Does anyone know, or remember, why she keeps calling Tim Chuck and Chuckie?
I enjoyed this episode more than any in quite a while -- it made me laugh a lot. That's nice. The serious PTSD episodes were excellent, but not funny. I am more than ready to meet the last Mrs. Gibbs, though. It's about time.
I was really delighted to see these guys win, although I'd have been equally happy had it been James and Jaymes. Their goals to help their parents were admirable. I was hoping it would be no one who had taken part in stealing from James and Abba. I'll probably remember little of their tasks and obstacles, but it was nice to finally see a lady laced into a corset. I have always wondered about that....
I kept flinching at the horrendous obnoxious Sheldon, back to Season 2 manners. The most memorable thing about this episode for me is that Amy took Sheldon into the back seat of her car, lifted her skirt to show him her bikini wax job, and Sheldon looked at it, did not scream, did not leave, and just made a fairly reasonable comment about it. Who'd'a thunk it?
@ MKWolfe That rule is Gibbs's rule. It is NOT the rule of NCIS. Unlike other agencies, or police forces, NCIS has no rules against couples serving together. It was discussed and made quite clear on an early season DVD. If Tony and Ziva got together, or if McGee and Abby get together again, Gibbs might disapprove, but he would have no right and no grounds to force anyone to leave. It would also be seriously hypocritical of him, given his history with Jenny.
This is not to say I want Tony and Ziva to get together. I don't. It is just the rules.
I do not understand why anyone bothers to read what Michael says. He is an idiot and a provocateur. Ignore him. Responding just feeds his fantasies.
One point no one has thus far mentioned, and which occurred to me last night watching the episode, was how brilliantly the young actor portrayed the soldier with PTSD. He really was wonderful. I don't know who he is, and have not seen him before, but I believed him, 100%. Superb.

@ osofine You can do what I do -- copy your original post, and post it. Then when the first part is posted, paste it to the "Leave a Comment" box and delete what has already been posted. Copy that again, and post it. If you still have some left over, which I sometimes do when an episode is worth discussing in depth, then paste it again, delete what has posted, and post again. I add the words "TWO" and "THREE", etc, to subsequent posts, in case another individual posts in between parts of my comments.

I'm definitely in the minority here, but I found the episode both boring and offensive. If someone was prying into my past private life like that, I would stop them. I do not believe that it is necessary for her job as a drug tester to know everything about him, and the intrusion is upsetting and (to me) obscene. Since I don't like the actors, particularly, and the stories are not all that fascinating, and I am not an admirer of Aiden Quinn either, I guess that's it for this one. I was evaluating; I am done. You all enjoy it. I shall be reading a book. Maybe one by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
I don't think Walden lied. He just did not correct her erroneous assumptions about him. It had to be very nice for the character to be wanted for something besides his money. It was nice to see it, anyway.
I don't think they thought this one through very well. I also wanted it to be a success; I'm a big fan of David Krumholtz. But I did not make it past the first 18 minutes of the first episode. I was cringing so much my back was starting to hurt. Time has moved on past the Stepin Fetchit stereotype of the lazy shiftless black man, and time has moved on past the stereotypical comical gay who is just too precious to be believed. Four states just voted to allow or not forbid gay marriage. We just elected out first openly gay US Senator. Gay characters are now becoming a normal part of television, just as gays are a normal part of American life. The time has passed for this kind of farce. The network should never have put it on, and it should have been cancelled even faster than it was.
If Kensi and Deeks get together, neither would have to leave the boathouse gang, as you put it. NCIS has no rule against interdepartmental relationships or marriages. It was carefully explained on one of the earlier NCIS seasonal DVD's. The real NCIS has married couples. The rule about no relationships on the team is Gibbs's rule. Gibbs is not on this show. I am in favor of Kensi and Deeks getting together, and against Tony and Ziva being a couple.
Practically the whole squad and Castle made idiots of themselves. This is something I could have entirely done without. I've seen it done before. They even did it on the Mentalist a few years back. This is my favorite show, but this was a throwaway episode.
I have been very consistent in my disdain for the captain. Of late, they have been playing her as an idiot, often as not, and that is not where she started. Tonight she was a very annoying sycophant to the film crew. This show already has a clown; Castle plays that role. It does not need two. Given a choice of having her be a stone cold bitch, as she started, or this inconsistent brown-noser, I will take the bitch. Actually, I would prefer a different captain, one who does not want to be an imitation man.
I cringed a lot watching this episode; I will rewatch it this week when it is posted on ABC.com, and see if I still do. One thing which struck me is that I could absolutely not tell the difference between one skinny, scruffy, dirty-looking, unshaven brunette musician and another, or the roadies, or the guy who turned out to be the mentor/friend. So, I never knew exactly who was in the scene. Seems to me they could change it up a bit, get some blondes, skinheads, gingers ... Practically the whole squad and Castle made idiots of themselves. This is something I could have entirely done without. I've seen it done before. They even did it on the Mentalist a few years back. This is my favorite show, but this was a throwaway episode.
