thanks for the thread.

YW

I'm guessing this episode has ties to the main show?

[maplezbear]

Thanks for the thread!

I don't think it does Chelle. I haven't seen anything about another crossover. It's weird though cause you think they would do one since she is going to D.C. I dunno though, anything is possible

[shinebrighterxx]

Yeah it seems odd to me

[nuwanda]

brody alone in washington: why didn't they ask gibbs or vance for help?

pride has a lot of work with his bar - thought he had enough on his plate with ncis..

don't like/trust that homeland agent who worked with brody.

always ask myself why people who get abused stay by their tormentor especially when their children are in danger.

[maplezbear]

I was pretty bored with this episode.
Don't really have much to say about it.

yeah, it would have been a good opertunity to have someone from the main show appear again.

Like you nuwanda, I don't trust the homeland guy. I think is part of what ever is going on.

I wonder the same thin about abuse victoms.

So she went to Washington but none of the characters from the original show appeared? Guess they were too busy to bring them in or just didn't want to bring them in yet again seems a little odd

i am glad they didn't bring one in - it was just that pride said that if there was a problem she should ask vance or gibbs for help and that's why i was asking myself why they didn't ask ncis washington for support anyway.

[shinebrighterxx]

That sounds good. A little odd but in a way I can see why it is good to not bring one in & not rely on the original show

NCIS, FBI, Homeland Security? Just a small alphabet for Brody

Pride is very distracted here dealing with his case, checking in with Brody, & then the bar

I like that they still find a way for Loretta to be involved even without a body

Nice car/foot chase & camera work to catch the chef. Don't see that beingn easy thing to use though

The Homeland Security guy working with Brody played Henry in Charmed i was sitting here watching the dinner scene & realised i knew that voice/face. There was something in that scene which made me realise it was him

He wasn't the only one who's been in Charmed. After figuring that one out i realised the mother who was being abused looked familiar. The actress has had guest appearances in a lot of shows & quite a few i watch, including Charmed in season 4 (Karen who was the advice columnist before Phoebe). She's also been in JAG, NCIS, & LA so they must like her in this franchise

The abusive father/husband also was in an SVU episode i watched over the weekend so he was a little bit familiar too but that one i wasn't so sure on

I honestly didn't get distracted & finding looking things up more interesting than the ep

[maplezbear]

Funny you noticed it was Henry from Charmed the way you did. It's funny how you see so many people on other shows like that (like the lady that played Karen too)

Yup, this episode was pretty good

[shinebrighterxx]

I had fun spotting the actors but Henry that was the best one for me. I like Ivan Sergei (the actor) or at least his voice so might have to watch him in more things

[maplezbear]

It is fun spotting them I like him too in things, though I didn't like the character he played on NOLA.
