Thoughts on THIS week’s NCIS episode (like almost a week late)

KAYLA! I shouldn’t be surprised that she’s all grown up, as we’re pretty much the same age and well, so am I. But STILL.

Also WOW are they laying it on thick with the Dad!Nick feels, I love to see it. But what are they working toward??? Last time this happened a past love interest was supposedly killed and a love child showed up on the guy’s front step. Surely they wouldn’t do that again.

I love how much they’ve been mentioning McGee and Jimmy’s kids recently. They always seem to forget about them. Now if only they’d mention Jared Vance, what’s he up to?

Another thing, it amuses me how many times they’ve recast Kayla lol. From some angles though I swear this one looked like Jackie Vance, so I say A+ casting, and I hope we at least hear from her again.

I also loved hearing more about Knight’s history. At one point she looked like “Man, I gotta call my dad…”

OH SHOOT I almost forgot about one of the most heartbreaking parallels I thought of!! So, we’ve got a father that is the director and his daughter, the agent. Hmm where have we seen this before?? ELI DAVID AND ZIVA! Uh huh. Now imagine that Vance remembers how awful Eli was and he just cannot fathom how a father puts his daughter through what he did. And the kidnapping and torture parallels?? Somalia?? Solidifies the fact that Eli was a garbage human being. There’s so much more to be said about this…

I’ve gotta circle back to Nick clearly longing for a family, cause I can’t stop thinking about it. The poor guy was finally ready to settle down ages ago with Bishop and then she left him like

So SURELY they’re doing something there, right? I’m on to you, NCIS

Why does some teeny tiny blonde woman own my ass

if you loved me, why’d you leave me?

Well, taking the completely aggressive tone aside, Gibbs actually gave a valid point about Rule #10. A lot of deaths in the show, especially major deaths, were caused by someone being personally involved in a case.

CASE IN POINT: (the bigger hits of NCIS)

Kate- personal vendetta between Gibbs and Ari

Jenny- conscience preventing her from making her kill

Mike- the want to go down in fire rather than cancer (granted, Cobb wasn’t really his case, but still)

Paula- ummmm….yeah. It happened, rather sensitive so let’s not. 

So, Gibbs was completely justified in making and forcing this rule on his agents, even it is constantly not followed.

It seems to be a good year for ships at NCIS. Palmer and Breena are still happy, McGee and Delilah are still adorable dorks and all seem well…

…but if Ellie and Nick don’t get action with each other, I will change the channel.

Okay all I want right now is a Castle-like “I almost died and all I could think about was you” moment for Ellick. Is that too much to ask??
