Finally slightly delayed even more due to my forgetfulness but its here & now I get to watch it

Fornell & Gibbs always nice to see them together. Of course Fornell is actually living with Gibbs now. Wonder who's decision that was

sounds like Gibbs went through a few probies that doesn't surprise me at all

Abby at the crime scene

McGee fussing over Tony's old desk . Not at all surprising as he would have kept his desk & computer in perfect condition while Tony wouldn't have. Then I completely understand him struggling to get used to the desk as he was in his for so long & it is different

Oh wow there was eight probies that Gibbs went through - that's quite a lot then. Those poor agents

"you're like the Goldilocks of NCIS" Love it

references to JAG? that's pretty cool & nice (even if I never watched JAG) Missed that Chris mentioned that in her post I think

Nice that Quinn has connections to the team already & remembered McGee even after all that time. Poor Bishop though - although I like that she's being messed with. Ok so I think its safe to say that Steph was right about thinking that I'd like Quinn

McGee in Abby's lab . I think I like Abby's outfit but of course you can't see much of it with her lab coat

I'm not sure on Torres right now . agree that his background with the girlfriend while he was undercover being a bit like Tony & Jeanne

"Senior field agent McGee" ok so I knew it was coming but still love hearing it

I like Gibbs picking Quinn & asking her to join the team


overall not the most interesting episode but a nice introduction to the new characters with enjoyable moments of the existing ones & interactions between at least Quinn & the team members

Glad you finally got to watch it

Glad you like Quinn. She was easy to like from the start I think

Agreed with what you said at the end about the episode

in a way I wonder if they on purposely wrote Quinn so she would be easily liked by most to make it easier on the fans? Then they had to make sure she wasn't like previous characters, same with Torres, so there couldn't be too many comparisons. I'm kinda glad that they've added in two people in this ep so it doesn't feel so much like a replacement for Tony. McGee got promoted, & then the vacant slot was filled along with someone else joining the team. It felt a little more like how McGee was added to the team than just having Tony replaced/the vacated slot filled

[maplezbear]

That is an interesting theory. Nver thought about it, but you could be right that they wrote the characters like that. Agreed with the rest of what you said as well

It could have just been a coincidence too but it did make me wonder

[maplezbear]

It makes me wonder now too!
