With the New Season


With the new season of NCIS just a couple of weeks away I thought it would be nice to post one of my rare posts.

If you have noticed I haven’t been posting much this past year about the show and the cast and crew or the fandom. You would have to be living under a rock not to know there has been more unrest in the fandom and some of the message boards.

Ever since it was announced by David McCallum that Michael Weatherly was leaving and subsequent news reports, and news items, about the final episodes and about his new show.  It was becoming clear to many that there was some bad blood between MW and MH.  I don’t know if there was it could be hype but it upsets me at some of the countless accusations being thrown around.

A part of me doesn’t want to believe them just like there were some other suggestions or innuendo about MH and the women co-stars over the years.  Again it could be very well malicious speculation from fans who don’t like the actor.  I also know he may not be as clean cut as I and many others imagine.

I am not laying blame at one person’s feet.  If there is any blame.  Some of the behaviors of MW left a bad taste in my mouth.  Comments he made about the show and of course his DUI which he has taken care of by now.  I also blame anyone who is on set and leaking BS to the press or media whether or not is its warranted or not.

Now that MW has a new show he is currently working on I hope and wish him all the best.  It is a big responsibility to be a star of the show and I hope he is up to the task.  Just don’t forget where you came from.

I am never sure if it is a good thing or not to bad mouth your previous employment situation (especially in the entertainment field) or not.  Is it really the fan’s right to know what happens on the sets of movies or TV shows or anything of that nature?  It might be the right of the producers, directors, and executives of the industry but is it the same for fans?

Now the new cast mates.  I have no problems with two of them but Vilma?  I barely watched that 70’s show when it was on but he just gave me the creeps in the interviews he gave at San Diego Comic Con.  Of course I read some of the “gossip about him” and not sure if it is true so before I let my own fears and prejudices occur I will wait and see.  I hope it works out.

Anyway, I plan on watching the show this season and next. Until it no longer entertains me no matter how strong the loyalty to the cast is.

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.
