  • I'm not so sure, they are pretty close to jumping the shark in my opinon. (possible spoilers)

    "Great"

    I know the Director has had some interesting dealing with "the Frog" but if she actually murdered him that would be a bit much in my opinon. They made it look like at the end that she got away with murder. If they keep that up it will be hard to keep watching this show. What they could do with that is make her resign and put Gibbs at her job and Dinozo at Gibb's job, but have them still both go out on cases, so Mark Harmon would still be a regular, and they could still have the Director who is retired come on as a guest every now and then. I did like the rest of the episode up until the end it was action packed with some comedy which is why I like this show.moreless

  • I was disappointed...

    I was really looking forward to this episode. I love Tobias and the story looked good; however, the episode failed to deliver. Tobias was great, that FBI guy was annoying and Jenny was even more annoying. The episode was slow and got boring. The CIA turned out to kill the Frog, or so he says. The end of the episode makes it seem that Jenny killed him. I really wanted Jenny to get caught and stuck in jail. She annoys me and needs to go. There wasn't as much funny in this episode that I'm used to seeing. Oh, I have to say, I loved the Gibbs computer part. Halarious. So, overall, boring delivery of the story, promising story, not as funny, and with annoying characters...so, bad episode.moreless

  • Gibb's entire team (including Abby and Ducky) are the subject of a FBI investagation after it was discovered that the frog was been murdered.

    Ok, this episode was better than the entire season 4, and is probably the second best (after Corporeal Punishment) episode in season 5. Normally I find flashback episodes annoying but this one was pretty funny. When Gibbs tells MeGee to tell Fornoll the truth and MeGee remembers all of the illegeal hacking he had done the year before, defiently funny; but when Fornell asks MeGee if he and DiNozzo have a professional realitionship and MeGee thinks about all of the times DiNozzo made fun of him and when they fought on stakeouts or whatever - priceless!! It was also pretty funny when Gibs handed a knife to Ziva and told her to "take care of the FBI agents", he then had to specify he meant the tires of their cars, not ther throats! It was kinda (not sad, but...something) when Fornell made Gibbs switch sides in the intoraggation room. After DiNozzo turned over the tarot card thing and it was a hanged man I think everyone totally knew HE was the main suspect, not Jenny. I still can't believe that Jeane would lie like that and accuse him of murder! Maybe she thought that by getting into their life, he caused his death. After I realized that she was the witness, I totally thought that SHE had killed her father and then blamed it on Tony. That would have been a pretty good story line as well (as long as she wasn't convicted). I did not expect the twist at the end when they finally revealed the Frog's true killer. The one reason I didn't give this episode a ten is because Tony lied to Jeane at the end and told her he never loved her. It was very mean but I think it showed DiNozzo is growing up. He realized that their realitionship could never work out and he accepted what Ziva told him at the begginning of this season: like what did he think was going to happen, and was he really ready to give up his entire life for her [Jeane}. I think he realized that he wasn't ready or willing to give up his life and become Tony DiNardo permantly, and this was his way of trying not to hurt her anymore. I thougth it was "strong" of Ziva to be able to put aside her "feelings", whatever those might be, and help Tony.moreless

  • Full marks for this one!

    "Perfect"
    By amazing_race, Feb 19, 2010
    This is another very interesting episode and as a result, I find it to be just as amazing as the last one.

    I really enjoyed the investigation of the Rene Benoit death, but I dislike this episode because it introduces the worst character, in my opinion, Leon Vance.

    I really loved the suspense throughout the episode, and in my opinion, that packed together to create an amazing episode. I was disappointed that the ending was slightly ambiguous.

    I also thought that the episode was quite funny, especially with Abby in interrogation, as that was hilarious for me!

    I hope that there are more episodes along the lines of this one, and I would recommend this one absolutely highly!moreless

    By vicky24c, Jan 13, 2009
    In this episode of NCIS, the team are shut down. The FBI comes in and puts the team on lockdown. The body of the frog has-been discovered and IDed. All of the team are under investigation for the murder. The team are all individually questioned and Gibbs meets up with Jeanne.
    Jeanne tells Gibbs that she saw the person who murdered her father and that it was Tony. No one believes that Tony committed the murder and so when Jeanne comes into NCIS, Jenny talks to her. Jenny gets her to admit that she didn't see Tony there and that she never went back. She said it was him, to get back at him for lying to her about who he really was. At the end of the episode as Jeanne is leaving the building, she asks Tony if he ever felt anything for her and he says no (even though we know that is not true). At the end of the episode it becomes obvious that Jenny may have had something to do with the murder of The Frog, although there is no evidence and the only other person who knows about the actual facts is Gibbs.moreless

  • ALLUSIONS (5)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Vance pays Gibbs $2.42 and says "it's for the danish." You can see in episode 8x09, when Vance ruins the danish and says, "I'll pay you back," what they were talking about.

    • McGee: Brings back memories of playing Zork. Zork is a 1980 text based video game by Infocom. It is the first of a three part series, as well as other spin-offs.

    • Gibbs: Any questions? McGee: Yeah, how you get the boat out? Gibbs: Just break the bottle. This is a reference to the art of miniature ships inside glass bottles.

    • Ziva (To Fornell): Once in a Blue Lagoon. She meant to say "Once in a Blue Moon." Blue Lagoon, however, is a famous coming of age movie from 1980 which tells the story of two children who grow up together on a desert island and fall in love upon reaching puberty.

    • Tony mentions George "Meadowlark" Lemon and Fred "Curly" Neal, both members of the Harlem Globetrotters, the touring basketball team that entertains people all over the world with their combination of athleticism and comedy.
