In the NCIS World

With the latest episode only 10 hours away there has been a lot going on in the NCIS world.  Last week’s episode did well in the ratings despite the mixed reviews from the online fans.  Some felt it was beyond believable that one man can stand up to thugs.    The main point of the episode was to show how women are treated in Afghanistan.  IT didn’t hurt to have in the news the young girl that stood up to soldiers on a bus in Afghanistan being featured and interviewed every where.

This week we return to Baltimore as we see a much younger Anthony DiNozzo deal with being a cop in Baltimore.  We had seen pictures earlier this fall previewing this episode.  Some were pretty funny.  TV guide did a cover story with Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly and their respective characters relationships.  There are some really beautifully done pictures.  I wish I could get it but I am not comfortable spending extra money on it.

HarrietNCIS is a blessing she continues to provide us with viewer alerts for upcoming episodes on the list and of course discussions and speculations on all of them are pretty funny at times.  Some not so much.  Many seem to think there is tension between DiNozzo and Gibbs.  That if it continues their relationship will fall apart.  Some feel that the fans are expressing disappointment in the actor’s performance opposed to the writing.  I don’t see it (the tension).  Mind you the discussions on the episodes are not limited to one forum or group.

The campaign to bring Cote De Pablo is ebbing I think.  One day there is acceptance on others apparently re-affirmation that their campaign is working.  Someone asked a person named Probalicious their thoughts on Cote and Mark’s relationship.   The writer seemed to think there were bad feelings between the two because the way Cote left.  Probalicious reassured the person that although Harmon  may have been hurt at first he did come and see her on the day of her final scenes.  Probalicious writes “the fans need to get over the fact she left”  and the cast is now way beyond this and have been working for weeks without CDP.  I say AMEN.

Fans and film buffs are gathering in Omaha Nebraska to mark the anniversary of the Great Escape along with David McCallum.  I know of one person making the journey from Europe. I betcha it will be a lot of fun.

Mark Harmon will be on Craig Ferguson on November 7-NOvember 8th.  If I had to speculate the 11th Season...and changes, and the football stuff.  Actually that is what I would love to hear...I would also love to hear him say they are becoming grandparents.  I would love to see how he announces it when the time comes.

The NCIS cast and crew and fans are on baby watch.  A couple of weeks back Michael Weatherly tweeted that the baby is taking its time to be born.  Prayers and good thoughts.
