I enjoyed most of this episode

Loved Gibbs with Judith she was funny and not impressed by Gibbs at all while Gibbs was cranky and rude to her!!

Loved the Gibbs/Abby moments but when will Abby ever grow up she had worked on the case 16 years ago time the clean up your own stuff Abby don't ask Gibbs all the time.

Last week we had Tony with poison oak this week Tony had splinters really a silly storyline considering Ducky or Palmer could've removed either of them in less than minute. Now Tony was walking with a banana peel on his fingers

Looking forward to next week the promo was sooooooooo good!!!

[nuwanda]

liked:
- that the boys were concerned about bishop.
- how the woman from the sherlocks was talking to gibbs.
- one of the sherlock asking gibbs:"do you know what your problem is?" and gibbs answering: "the three of you."
- team meeting at the diner.
- that they were showing that gibbs still has problems with his knee.
- palmer is duckys replacement at the club and how he showed up there.

thoughts:
- i wonder if palmer will ever notice that gibbs is behind him when he makes a joke at the crime scene.
-can't imagine the feeling of being in prison for 16 years and innoccent and then finally free. think it is not going to be easy for him.
- i wouldn't have wanted gibbs to take out the splinter with his knife either.

you are right it is a silly storyline with tony, but if fits with abby. after the second splinter i knew it will help solving the case. but still: it was silly. i thought tony gets more responsibility this season, but at the moemtn it looks like he is going back to class clown. hope he is solving a major case soon or saving a team member or gets seriously injured - which he can obviously handle better than the little ailments - just to remind us again that he is not the whimp they are showing us right now, but a capable agent and an important part of gibbs' team.

looking forward to the next ep too and what is going to happen with jeanne.

Agreed with what's been said here already about the episode. Half the stuff I was going to mention in my post, so here is the other stuff I did not see mentioned...

I had more than this, but I had it written down in my phone, but it got erased So this was all I could remember that wasn't already talked about

Poor Abby agonizing over putting innocent people in jail. I love that she was there at the end when the guy was released and was not upset that she put him there, but was just thankful that she got him out.

The Sherlock's tracking down Gibbs was fumy. Especially Judith throwing herself at Gibbs

Good to know that McGee still writes his books

I loved that Palmer was Ducky's replacement in the group.

[shinebrighterxx]

McGee still writes? Now I want to know more about that. Has Ziva Lisa left & been replaced by someone new?

Tony's being used as a class clown again? I don't like that Tony. His growing lately has helped me like that character more

i wonder if palmer will ever notice that gibbs is behind him when he makes a joke at the crime scene.

I hope so. Watching S12 lately has made me feel it is getting old as it seemed to happen a couple of times then

they just mentioned that he still writes, there was nothing about a new book.

tony is one of my - maybe the - favorite character(s) and even to me it feels like tony is the class clown again, although it is not as bad as it used to be.
i like his jokes and pranks and i think he shouldn't stop that, but as you said he has grown and i like that too. but the last eps it was more like the clown.
i even liked it when he butted heads with gibbs. it was his job to bring gibbs back on track and having his back as well.

Spoiler:

after watching the promo i think they might start with tony getting more responsibility soon. maybe gibbs is going to spend some time in the hospital again..

[maplezbear]

Yeah, they just mentioned he still writes. Which is good enough for me I really wish they would have made actual books for people to buy like they do for Castle

As for your thing in spoilers I think you are right

[shinebrighterxx]

I figured that all they said was just that he writes still. I was saying I want them to elaborate more on it at some point

[maplezbear]

Ah ok. Yeah it would be nice for them to elaborate

[shinebrighterxx]

Bird sounds . Totally agree with the comments about going out into nature & out of the city to clear your head

Poor Tony getting a splinter . A banana peel though? Figures Abby'd be involved & Tony would actually try it a bit silly though. Why wouldn't Ducky or Palmer have taken out at the scene? although in a way Tony could complain & not want to have it dug out. I think that might fit his personality even if we'd like him to grow up now. Gibbs offering to cut the finger off was funny. Abby loving trees & then McGee's response was cute. Of course McGee knows all about her & that McGee was happy Tony did as Abby said my McAbby heart likes these little pieces

Ducky: "They do not play well with others." Gibbs: "Neither do I" - love that

Love the interactions with the sherlock group. They're fun

Poor Abby, always blaming herself when the science doesn't tell her the truth. Wish she'd learn not to always do that & sometimes mistakes happen. Interesting how she used a hair from McGee & Tony to show how you can't match hairs. Going over all her cases? That's a little drastic Abby . Love the scene between her & Gibbs though & her going with him to see the guy released

Bishop standing on the desk & then everyone clapping -

McGee is going to write with an author he seemed to admire? Lucky him

Ducky's replacement being Palmer is funny


there's still going to be a new episode next week even though it is the week leading up to Easter. I was worried it was going to go on hiatus on me for two weeks. & the next ep one to look forward to

[maplezbear]

There was some good stuff in that ep

Yay for a new episode for you next week!!

[shinebrighterxx]

There was some good stuff. The ep might have been a little silly & there were silly things but the good things made up for it I think
