thanks for the thread.

Thanks for the thread. I still haven't watched last weeks yet

[nuwanda]

it was a good case, but 3/4th of the case was pride- again - and the writers should really think about what they are doing:

first sebastian and hannah let escape marquez - and the attack on sebastian was more than predictable - then, not even a minute later, hannah, gregorio and lasalle let him escape again. why are they walking around with their guns drawn if they don't use them?

pride going into the house where jenny was held alone although backup was two minutes away and near the end of the ep checking on jenny before checking the rooms? he is an experienced agent - at least i thought so.

Agreed with what you have said nuwanda.

I don't really remember much about the episode honestly. Shows how much I was paying attention Getting really boring with the same ol Pride stuff. I am on the verge of not watching any more.

1. had that problem too.

2. me too. But still, I want to watch the next two episodes - hopefully I manage to watch the one from yesterday this evening. If it is not getting better I going to drop it

I really like Sebastian & Gregorio's scenes/lines/bantering. One day I should start a thread for them . Nice outfits at the end

Creepy case

When are they going to learn that this is meant to be NCIS: New Orleans not NCIS: Dwayne Pride. I get that the first victim found was his assistant but he's not a field agent anymore. He's not meant to be running around - he's meant to be in his office, doing his new job

I agree with what has been said about the stupid moves being made. What are the writers thinking?

exactly what I am complaining about. It is sad that they do it. In my opinion it ruins the show

[shinebrighterxx]

Its even worse now than before since he's got a new job so should be doing that yet so far I think we've had one episode where he did that & even then he was still helping the team & possibly still ended up in the field
