Are You Kidding Me?

Are you kidding me?

I was reading some of the ncis blogs when I came across this one from six days ago.  What I have  linked is the writer’s response to another comment.  I was absolutely floored and shared it at the IMDB site.  Maybe I am missing something…

To Mark Harman, Gary Glasberg, and the CBS Studio, it’s sad to see that the new character of Eleanor Bishop will be played by a white actress instead of adding someone male or female of color…black, asian, native american, and latino. You’re solving crimes incurred in a diverse Armed Service of the Marines. Yet Gibb’s team remains the same, all white — Tony, Tim, Ducky, Abby, and himself? Noting, everyone of color has either died on a bus shot by Gibbs, had a cleanliness disorder never to be seened again, shot in the arm and left the morgue only to be replaced by another white actor, lost a sister in a fire and not mentioned again, or the NCIS director who lost his wife therefore he is in and out with grief as he cares for his grieving children. Leon watchout you could be next. If Marines of color can serve America in the Armed Services many branches, they too deserve to be seen on Gibbs’ team solving said cases. It supposed to be an American police team yet American diversity is not reflected on Gibbs team why? Does Mark have a problem as an actor, and as an EP? Or does it lie with Gary?, or CBS? The choice is truly yours CBS. You’re number one by ALL who watch and love the series. That’s America Mark. Remember you once were an actor seeking that one fair break in Hollywood.

If the writer/blogger is even remotely aware of Mark Harmon then he pretty much knows he is off the mark.  Yes I know I don’t know him either but by all accounts he is not nor ever has been a bigot or racist.  IF that were the case he would not have ever worked with Rocky Carroll or anyone else.  

I am afraid I couldn’t watch the Homeward Bound telethon last night for two reasons  The stories those soldiers had related was sad and I was pretty tired.  The cast was there with a pre-recorded video about the episode dealing with PTDS.

I saw part of the NCIS marathon on Saturday.  What can I say?  It Was good.  I am not sure what today’s marathon is on but I hope “Call of Silence” was on..

This Week in NCIS World

Well hello my friends how are you doing?  I wasn’t overly impressed with this week’s episode but I was surprised by its ending.  Of course the reviews from various arenas are the same.  Some liked it some didn’t. Shortly after this episode aired Michael Weatherly was interviewed by a blog site and he posted to his twitter feed and he gave his views rather forcefully (dropped the F-Bomb a couple of times.  Some were disappointed in his choice of words others were fine with it.  Some criticized others for posting their disapproval.  That’s their right.  I wrote my views on this thread . However, by the end of this weekend after hearing “he is expressing his opinion and” and basically being dismissed for our own views I responded   here .   I did offer some support to Michael Weatherly on his twitter page.  Whether or not he sees or cares about it is totally different. Basically I wrote that celebrities should not be arguing online with fans and have to have some deco

What's been happening

The holidays have brought out the trolls again on the IMDB board.   People have been interacting with the latest one and doing okay but I think they are done with it.   I am not interested in interacting with people who come on the boards and say things that are inflammatory and become abusive. There have been some “Blind items” that really seem very cruel about a prank that was played on someone from NCIS and you can read about it here.   I expressed my concern and hopes that NO one on either cast would perpetuate any kind of prank like this. Discussions about the newest episodes including the 200 th episode are continuing on many of the venues I frequent.   Some are receptive for clips and some are not.   Some are questioning the once again use of the Kelly and Shannon stuff.
