  • Very, very enjoyable episode!

    "Perfect"
    By amazing_race, Feb 28, 2012
    I really enjoyed the case today. It was very well done, with lots of great scenes, such as the cookie interrogation, the child birth and the storylien with Jimmy and his future father-in-law-to-be.

    I have to say that I'm not particulrly happy with character development on the main cast in recent weeks. However, speaking strictly about the case, I have no complaints and I really loved it! It was definitely a unique one!

    Please keep it up, NCIS! Two episodes in a row which I have been happy about! Please keep the trend going! :)moreless

    Love mark harmon and other 's on this program, but ducky is to involved with his autopsies.
    Show the person tell what happen to them, and don't keep going back to them over and over.

    I enjoyed the episode, it was interesting, good amount of stakes, and Ziva got to do her kickass thing which is always fun. Yet, what really stood out to me was the interrogation scene with Tony and McGee. Gibbs is an incredible interrogator, but these two in room together is simply fun and extremely impressive. It was a good way to keep the bad guy off balanced, confused, and talking. Nice job guys!moreless

  • Excellent episode but TIVA is dead, methinks.

    Very good episode, with Jimmy taking on center stage and his obnoxious soon to be Father in Law.

    ***Danger Will Robinson----------Spoilers ahead***

    I thought Abby's reaction to Jimmy's "Father in Law" was superb, likening him to the Grinch and hiding behind the filing cabinet. Even better, locking him and Jimmy up in a Sin Bin was brilliant.

    The main story arc with the pregnant Marine was well thought out and acted by all concerned. Ziva, as usual, kicking major ass taking out the bad guys.

    If I have a very minor gripe, it's the incredibly speedy delivery of the baby in the car by Gibbs, as I have always believed the first childbirth is usually a pretty lengthy experience. Eh, what do I know, I'm just an old fat guy, with no kids.

    Liked the guys logic in finding Gibbs and Ziva and speeding, or should it be "sliding" to the rescue.

    As for the lack of "TIVA" in this episode ncisluvver 33, this seems to have been completely shelved in this series, pretty much altogether with little or no interaction between the two other than strictly work related.

    If the writers intend to resurrect TIVA, then IMHO, they need to get on with it as the interminable "will they or won't they" is massively boring after this number of years.

    Let's face it, we all know there's no rule, AT ALL, prohibiting agents going out together, only Gibb's rule whateveritis, so get on with it already or put all the "shippers" out of their misery and marry one of them off.

    Very good episode and I can't wait for the New Year 'till it kicks off again.moreless

    Sweet with danger & action. And I loved Gibb's smile & entire face when he delivered the baby. Ziva was really good kickin' xxx. And was thrilled when Jimmy gained confidence to tell his future dad-in-law what's what!
    Very good show!

    I must say that NCIS has the best groups of actors/actresses who go so well together. The Compliment one another so well. Would never be same if one was not there.moreless

    • Tony: Are those Hollander's homemade Christmas cookies from HR?
      McGee: Did she make molasses this year?
      Ed: She did, and they were good.
      Tony: I think I have a way to break our bad Santa!
      Ed: With what, cookies? What are you going to do, sugar-board him?

    • Tony: Family and job. Two different cups.
      Gibbs: That's right.
      Tony: And... if I couldn't fill both, that was my problem.
      Gibbs: Mm-hmm.
      Tony: What if I can now?
      Gibbs: Then get out of my basement, man up and move on.
      Tony: Like you have?
      Gibbs: Don't be like me. Learn from it.

    • Emma: Do you have kids, Agent Gibbs?
      Gibbs: Had a daughter.
      Emma: Were you there when she was born?
      Gibbs: Deployed.
      Emma: Well, I guess I kind of have to be there for mine. Not that I'm complaining. It's just... I might be...
      Gibbs: Scared?
      Emma: The hell you say?
      Gibbs: It's all right if you are.
      Emma: Not according to the Corps. That's what I like about being a Marine. The procedures. The code. I like having a measurable set of expectations. I could always tell how good I was doing, but with this... how do I know?
      Gibbs: You don't. But you'll be able to tell.

    • Emma: Listen, everyone, I don't want any special treatment. I'm a Marine first and pregnant second.
      Gibbs: Oo-rah.
      Emma: Oo-right.
      Ziva: Well, I will gladly take the special treatment. I like mine with extra marshmallows the little tiny ones, please.
      Tony: Who do you think I am, your elf?

    • Emma: Hand over your weapons.
      Gibbs: There's only one way to get a Marine's weapon.
      Emma: What do you know about it? You a leatherneck?
      Gibbs: Where do you think I got this haircut?

    • Abby: Oh, thank goodness it's just you. Jimmy and his Grinch-in-law have been stalking the halls spreading ill-will and yuletide yuckness. Hey, did he try to pick a fight with you in the squad room?
      Gibbs: No, he's just being a...
      Abby: Unseasonably and unreasonably rude.
      Gibbs: He's being a father-in-law to be.
      Abby: Well, if he knows what's good for him, he's not going to come a-wassailing within at least 20 feet of my leaves of green.

    • Ducky: Don't lie to Mister Ed.

      A referral to "Mr. Ed", a talking horse featured in the TV show Mr. Ed from the early 1960's. Mister Ed was a notorious troublemaker, constantly getting his owner, the hapless Wilbur, in trouble.

    • Tony and Emma both refer to the Maryland policeman at the shopping mall as "Deputy Dawg". "Deputy Dawg" is an early 1960's cartoon character featuring a dog acting as a deputy sheriff in southern Mississippi, with a thick Southern accent.

    • Abby: Well, he better not come a-wassailing within twenty feet of my leaves of green!

      A line from a 12th century English Christmas carol folk song, "The Wassail Song" (author and composer unknown):

      "Here we come a'wassailing
      Among the leaves so green..."

    • Tony: No, I think I will relegate that part of my life to 'Christmas Past'.

      "Christmas Past" is one of the ghosts in A Christmas Carol (1843) by Charles Dickens. He appears to Ebenezer Scrooge to review his life. In the book, The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge his painful memories, including when his former fiancee', Belle, broke their engagement in objection to his obsession with his job, and went on to have a happy life married to someone else.
