The Perfect Episode *SPOILERS for 7x14*

After watching the most recent NCIS episode (7x14 Masquerade ) Icame to the conclusion that it was the perfect NCIS episode.

It wasn't a 'Big' episode like the 150th, the premiere, the season finale or even 7x13's TIVA epdisode, it wasn't even a 'Special' episode like the Halloween or Christmas episodes, it was just the perfect NCIS episode.

I think it was Pauley Perrette that once said NCIS was a show for the fans and Masquerade definitely proved that to be right. In my opinion it had (almost) everything for any and every NCIS.

What the episode had:
*A thrilling case - very suspensful and you could feel the panic about the possibility of a dirty bomb.

*Classic McGeek - Only our little probie could be in the middle of the bullpen, in a tux, 'at' the wedding of one of his RPG friends... I am expecting him to get married online one day.

*Tony and Ziva (friendly) teasing the the Probie - how could they not!

*Paranoid Tony and mentions of the Plague - ever since SWAK DiNozzo has gotten more and more paranoid about biological/chemical attacks and I loved the quote about how Tony's kids are possibly screwed because all he had to give them were good looks!

*Tony personal tidbit - wow Tony has a therapist! Even though he tried to cover and say it was a Physical Therapist for his knee I still think it is a shrink... the man has some serious Daddy Issues (not to mention the above mentioned Plague issues).

*Ultimate Abby hug - As a Tabby fan that hug was squee worthy!

*Abby eccentricities - Loving the fact Abby stayed in the yellow suit just because she thought it was cool, reminded me of the hat she wore back in Caught on Tape.

*Team Gibbs eccentricities - come on do you think there is any other team in the whole dang agency that would get popcorn to watch an interrogation? also Tap dance parties and pirate parties!

*Serious Tiva scene - I may not be 100% for Tiva (I'd say about 25% for the ship only because MW and CDP play it so well!) but that scene where they are talking about Somalia was well done.

*Palmer eccentricities - Palmer being caught by Ducky and Gibbs tap dancing in autopsy.

*Hint at Tony/Palmer friendship - I think the DiNozzo/Palmer friendship is equal first with the Tony/Gibbs and Tony/Abby friendship (for me at least) I also love how it seems as though Tony only invited Jimmy to the party.

*Brave Gibbs - Jethro single handidly (lol sorry bad injured arm joke) dismantles the bomb not giving a damn about his own life, only worrying about McGee getting out before it blew.

*Brave Timmy - I love how in this team when one person dismantles a bomb someone is always there beside them. While I am not McGee's biggest fan (I think he is making up for seasons 4 & 5 this season though) I loved that it was him refusing to leave Gibbs because usually it is Tony and Ziva.

and while it was not a part of this episode but next weeks:

*FORNELLAGE! in the promo for 7x15 - while scary bearded Tobias freaks me out a tiny bit (having flashbacks to disturbingly bearded and mustached Gibbs) I was definitely having withdrawals from the lack of our fave FBI agent this season.

There is only one thing that disappointed me about this episode (well this season really) and that is Rena Sofer - EPISODE KILLER!

Maybe that is just because I thought her character in Just Shoot Me ruined the show (hence the title of episode killer) but I think where they are headed with the possible relationship of her character and Gibbs is a horrible, horrible idea.

I am not anti-Gibbs loving, in fact I loved Gibbs and Hollis, Gibbs and Jenny's history, Gibbs and Stephanie (I think out of all his ex wives he loved her the most), Gibbs and Shannon and Gibbs and the Mysterious Readhead but Gibbs and the EK? HATE IT! I am glad they didn't show them kissing at the end, I like to believe that Tony popped out from behind the sofa and whacked her with a 2x4.

I think I have said it after every episode this season but season 7 may be my fave season so far, definitely making up for season 6!

Peace... Out!

Tis The Season!

It is offically Christmas day here in Australia (sorry if you follow me on more then one site, you have probably already read that if you do) and I just wanted to wish everyone a very safe happy and fun Christmas day.

I plan on watching the first movie from my NCIS list today (an Abby gingerbread woman if you can guess which one) so hopefully the review for it will be up soon.

In other NCIS/Christmas related news I brought in the holiday watching Apollo 13, odd I know but I don't like the Christmas movie on and the only Christmas ep is one of Frasier and yeah not that big a fan of Kelsey Grammar. Good news, I got my Joe Spano fix which has been lacking in this season of NCIS... I want to see some Fornell!

Anyway have a great day and merry merry Christmas!

Diagnosis: Terminal

Tony DiNozzo: "So, let me guess. You guys caught a bad case of
'DiNozzo-itis', had Vance send you down south?"

Ziva David: " 'DiNozzo-itis'... Sounds venereal."

NCIS 6x02 Agent Afloat

Well it may not be venereal like Ziva David thinks but it is damn infectious and a cure is yet to be found... Just ask one of the numerous NCIS fangirls out there. Of course I don't think there are actually any of us who are actively looking for a cure.

Never heard of DiNozzoitis? Basically it is a loss of all sense and reason the moment Michael Weatherly, who plays Special Agent Anthony D. DiNozzo Jr. on NCIS (the greatest show in the world), is shown on screen, in photos and more recently sings. There is just something about Michael Weatherly, particularly as Tony DiNozzo, that has sufferers going insane and drooling.

Signs of DiNozzoitis:

*Uncontrollable drooling, daydreaming and fantasizing

*Repeat viewings of NCIS and often times Dark Angel

*Spending an entire day Tweeting with other DiNozzoitis sufferers about Tony DiNozzo and not seeing anything wrong with it

*Spending obscene amounts of money buying all of Michael Weatherly's movies and TV shows, even if you have to buy online or from overseas

*Constant quoting of Tony/Michael lines

*Relating any and all things in life to Tony/Michael

*Dreaming up ways to be with Tony/Michael and/or your future lives together

And dozen of other symptoms all relating to Tony/Michael

If you are showing one or more of the above symptoms take 2 episodes of NCIS with a glass of NCIS fan fiction. If symptoms persist consult Dr. Donald 'Ducky Mallard', if symptoms worsen seek out Dr. Brad Pitt IMMEDIATELY!

For me, a sufferer of DiNozzoitis, I set up this blog to write reviews for an NCIS related New Years Resolution, my goal is to watch every movie ever referenced in the hit drama, and it will also be another place where I rant about and examine Tony DiNozzo.

Don't worry I am not completely insane, I do have other interests, I just felt I needed an outlet for my love of Tony DiNozzo... yes I do realise he is a fictional character and I do know how to separate life from fiction, I am a writer myself and just appreciate the creation that is DiNozzo and as a fangirl I appreciate the talents of Michael Weatherly, if you really sat down and watched the show you would see what I mean.

I don't really expect anyone to read this, let alone comment, but it would be nice.... you should know though me track record with blogs is not that successful, hopefully writing about NCIS, Michael Weatherly, Tony DiNozzo and things connected will help a bit. Fingers crossed!

Peace... Out
