NCIS have to recover a nuclear warhead.

7.0

By DexterMorgan2, Apr 26, 2013

This was a very average episode for a case where NCIS have to recover a nuclear warhead to save so many lives and compared to some of the other episodes this was a disappointment This episode had some good parts like the big shootout where for a second we was made to believe Sam was shot and from the shootout point the episode got better.

Such a disappointment after the last two sensational episodes. This one is ridiculously overrated.

9.0

By amazing_race, Apr 29, 2011

This episode really didn't do anything for me, and alongside 'Archangel', it would be hthe worst episodes of the season. The case had a few strengths, and I really enjoyed the scene with all the shooting and the truck, but the rest of the case was dull, at best.

I am enjoying the growing dynamics between Marty and Kensi, but they weren't funny at all, tonight, which was a huge let down. Their relationship is interesting, but 'Empty Quiver' didn't do much to develop it.

All up, this was a let down for me, because the last two episodes, 'Lockup' and 'Tin Soldiers' were so great. I just hope that we return to some great form next week, becasue this season has overall been brilliant, and I would like that to continue.

I don't recommend this episode, but I highly recommend you watch the last couple.moreless

NCIS: Los Angeles aired tonight. A solid episode here, and I hope that we get to see Callen and Hannah go undercover as Super Troopers again somewhere down the line.

The episode was highlighted in my mind by the shootout scene on the highway between G and Sam and the bad guys. Whoever did the score for that scene had the perfect music and they did a good job of creating the feeling of "how are they going to get out of this." Well-done scene that could have been ripped from a big budget action flick.

Good NCIS: LA here today. The show has been arguably CBS' best Tuesday night drama this season in my eyes.moreless
