FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (13)

Case wasn't bad. New 'romance' seems a bit boring.

9.5

By amazing_race, Apr 25, 2012

Well the case today wasn't too bad. Not one of the best by any means. But not one of the worst either. Th e story had some interesting moments and some slightly confusing and/or boring moments, but overall it wasn't too bad to watch.

Meanwhiel, I sure hope this Ryan woman doesn't return again. She was so frustrating to watch in this episode and I most definitely don't want to see a romance developing between her and Gibbs. They couldn't find anyone else... seriously? She's an interesting enough characters, but I don't really want to see her again.

Anyway, time will tell there, but a good case today, and I hope it continues to get better nest week! :)moreless

Oh no

2.5

Oh no, the start of miss J L Curtis in NCIS, another totaly idiot twist to the script where no viewer is waiting about. But it seems that she needs a job, so join the party and destroy NCIS.

maybe not the best but still really good. of course I can't see Gibbs with curtis. I am not a typical 'detective' at heart so did not really figure out the guilty until the end - but was not surprised!

GFibbs rocks

I thought it was great. having Gibbs make Mcgee go old-school with the paperwork instead of computers reminded me of the black-out episode, and a week after mcGee turned down a huge opportunity it showed that he is a computer guy, not necessarily a natural investigator.

Also, nice to see Kate's sister again, a shrink who didnt try to get into Gibbs' head using his dead wife and child, and gibbs using and old transistor radio to find a top of the line monitoring device. i also love Gibbs never giving a hint as to how he found her at her kid's school. cool as a cucumber.

not every episode has to move evry one personal story forward. This was a nice break from that.
