With all what happend here in Europe I wish CBS didn't air this episode last night maybe a repeat was better.

The episode was okay I have no idea what is happening this season but some episodes it looks that the cast is off and has enough of the show at least so does it look for me.

It's time NCIS LA stop with episodes where the topic is the middle east IMO!

Now about the episode the banter was great loved Callen/Sam and Kensi/Deeks scene's I agree with Callen Kensi has a problem what a mess is her desk don't want to know how her house will look like it was sweet of Callen to give Kensi a book for her problem later we hear it was from Deeks.
the case of the week I didn't like but I was happy the girl was still in LA and alive the reunion with her parents was sweet.

Did I hear it correct did we got a ILY from Deeks But Deeks also got arrested

Next week the team will help Deeks to clear his name I am excited for this episode

no ep for two weeks.

I loved this ep! Though I wish CBS would stop putting intense eps back to back. OMG! This one paired with Scorpion had me overwhelmed! Like Sylvester stated.....I was close to a psychological breakdown during those two hours.

Well, this episode was in plan to air last week, but they postponed it to this week because of the attacks in Paris. The thing is no matter when they air it, some people will get hurt because they lost someone in those attacks, so nothing they can do about it.
That's not gonna happen, NCIS:LA isn't the only show that does that, middle east is common when there is talk about terror, and ISIS is now the most powerful terrorist organization.
I think this episode really did give a great insight about recruiting and how young minds can be easier to manipulate then adults.

So, great episode for me, some foreshadowing through the episode (or that's just me?) for that ending scene... Hmm, it's weird that Deeks didn't tell Kensi anything about that accusation at the end, maybe he killed him, but there would be a bigger story about that... :O I don't know, I have a feeling it won't be mind blowing (awesome or whatever)... :/

Exactly. They could have held it off again but then you'd get all the eps with Deeks messed around since it sounds like it started in this one & then continues in the next ep (possibly two?). I don't know that they had another episode they could have thrown in here or had the spot to push things back. It'll hurt no matter when they aired it unfortunately

[Mountain_Girl]

Yeah what speedoflifexx said. It would have heard no matter when they showed it. It isn't just about Paris now......as the review article on wikideeks said, this is happening now. Each day someone is getting sucked into this stuff. I don't think there was anything wrong with showing this ep, people need to know what is happeneing and how and this ep was a great tool for that.

Also, the Deeks storyline was just this ep and next.....but they had no others to put in......just the Christmas one which would have been really random in November.

[shinebrighterxx]

It is just the one after this one then. I wasn't sure as I'd read there was two but wasn't sure if it was this one & it or two after this one. Thanks for clearing that up & yes bringing Christmas forward would have been strange

You can call me Chelle by the way

[Mountain_Girl]

LOL! Christmas in November......well, they could have argued that places are selling Christmas stuff already.

aw, love your name! I always forget who is who so I might just use your username.

[shinebrighterxx]

Yes

Same. It is in my sig if that helps though

[shinebrighterxx]

I've never noticed Kensi's desk being messy before this episode but I guess they're not at their desks all that much

a saxophone to get the team's attention? Really?

comparing Hetty to terrorists or at least the not knowing & being unpredictable seems a bit harsh to me

Deeks why didn't you tell Kensi about the investigation I kinda like that his response to her was to tell her he loves her though. Was that our first ILY scene for them? If so then that makes it sad

I think this episode really did give a great insight about recruiting and how young minds can be easier to manipulate then adults.

I agree

[maplezbear]

Her desk is always messy, but sometimes you don't notice things unless you are looking for them or they make mention.

I don't remember that comparison for Hetty! That is a little harsh.

And I just realized I had never posted in here about this episode

[shinebrighterxx]

Obviously

I don't remember what it was but Granger & her were talking & she said those sorts of things about ISIS & Granger's response was that people say it about her. It was meant as a joke but I don't know I think I'm reading too far into it

Yes I noticed that while I was watching/posting
