Thanks for the thread! Another one with a power outage. Interesting.

[shinebrighterxx]

Yeah I was thinking that too

[maplezbear]

Well good thing is some of them know how to work with no power

[shinebrighterxx]

Very true Some of them have had lots of experience by now

[nuwanda]

Thank for the thread
Can't watch this either so i depend on your reviews.

[Ropetuned]

ahh the days of great technology and no power

[Chris]

yes, they've done power outages before, but now that everybody is so dependent on technology, they do throw us for a loop.

Not sure what to think of the new character. Seemed odd that she'd try to catch Gibbs off guard at home, then expect that he'd be fine with it. Although later we learn that Gibbs knew who she was all along.

Gates McFadden had a small role.

Hubby thinks we'll see the fellow from Ellie's past again.

Maria bello joining the cast even if it is just temporary, is a very good addition. I miss ducky already ! Good Ep. This season so far ,has done a lot to really raise the character of Bishop .

Miss Ducky for sure. Abby helping Mr. Palmer with encouragement as he was doubting he could fill in Ducky's shoes was nice. Also him trying to fit that bow tie was nice. Later he talks to corpse JG Helen Wynn. Liked how he tries to get info. like Ducky does. Jacqueline Sloane coming in then Gibbs made me laugh when Jimmy said it was awkward for the silence. Speaking of Jack, figured that Gibbs would find out about her and her real job after she was in his house. Also where else better to leave her when you wanted to go to work and find out more about her? The interaction was good. Didn't like her turning off Gibbs elevator. Not everyone would think about doing that or that it is "right" to do it. Especially in a new to you, government facility. I liked the actress in the detective series, "Prime Suspect" back in 2012. She starred with Aidan Quinn(Elementary) and Damon Gumpton(just killed off Criminal Minds). One thing about her job on NCIS is a different angle to investigations. She doesn't just replace Quinn or Ducky, she has a different job. It's not like when Quinn or Torres or Bishop came, it wasn't "plug and play" to replace Tony or Ziva.
Liked the interaction between Bishop and ex school mate, Thomas Buckner(90210) was cute, and I was glad he wasn't bad. Looks like something could come of it. Also liked that he went to Syracuse University, that is one hour from me. Liked that she talked about loosing her friend. Also like that "Doctor Beverly Crusher" from "Next Gen" playing Mrs. Belmont of the soap empire Belmonts' as Helen's mom. She still looks good. But with the storm and Jack and Bishop/Nicks/Jimmy/Abby/Tim interactions I kind of didn't think out the mystery. But with other then the short bit about Buckner or hubby Ethan being behind it, there was only 2 other suspects that stood out, PO Joe Smiddy and Mitch Greyson. So with some thinking you could put them on the case of trying to steal the $300,000 bucks. But we really didn't know until the end why she was kidnapped. Episode was good though. Also figured that Abby's Zombie bag somehow would come into play.

It struck me a strange thing to do your first day at a new job.

Completely agree with you. It will be interesting to see what kind of insights she provides to the investigations going forward.

Also like that "Doctor Beverly Crusher" from "Next Gen" playing Mrs. Belmont of the soap empire Belmonts' as Helen's mom.

Really enjoyed seeing her in a different role.

[shinebrighterxx]

why is the new person at Gibbs' house? or better yet, why is Gibbs leaving her alone in it? Then again that actually does fit him since he used to not look his door

I'm so glad that Abby has prepared them for the Zombie Apocalypse. I take it that'll come in handy later in the ep

Palmer just be you, don't try being Ducky. Love Abby's support

Felt that the guy on the ship being the guy Ellie went to school with was predictable & that they'd then get stuck there

I don't really understand the purpose of this new person

Abby is cute asking McGee to be quiet so they don't disturb the power gods (sorry Abby, I sort of have only one key - my house key . I do carry another one for a locked money box but that's more for paranoia than a need to carry it)

See, I knew the Zombie Apocalypse kit would come into things later

I like that Ellie seemed to come to see the guy she went to school with in a new light by the end of the ep

interesting twists in the case, or at least wouldn't suspect the bank guy as the killer

weird to stop the elevator on one of your first few days there

[maplezbear]

Not too bad of an episode.

Interesting introduction of Jacquline. Love how Gibbs knew exactly who she was as soon as he saw her.

at Abby. I'm going to miss her when she leaves

Loved Palmer trying to copy ducky, but deciding against it after what Abby said and stayed himself. Great that Ducky thinks so highly of him too.

Funny the guy Bishop had been talking about ended up being the guy the Bishop had been talking aboutl. It was nice they parted ways with the air cleared. Could totally see something starting between those two at some point.

Knew the banker was involved with the case somehow, but didn't expect there to be a second person and that he was on the ship!

[shinebrighterxx]

I kinda feel like this must be how you feel all those times coming & reading my comments when you're making comments after me for episodes only I was usually much later

I see the guy coming back too, could be nice if she could have a nice love life now

[maplezbear]

Yes, it's odd to be posting after you

I agree
