Showing posts with the label fandoms

I get so tired..

 On a weekly basis threads on different (mostly FB) NCIS related boards get hijacked for one thing or another. Most recently an article that was posted read CBS cancels fan favorite after Lead Actor quits (for any of you who have been sleeping Its about Bull and Michael Weatherly. On a side note I wonder what happened first the cancellation or the actor announcing in Twitter he was leaving?) Someone posted that MH should come back. They don't like Gary Cole's addition. I finally had to say this isn't about NCIS and how I wished people would stop hijacking threads. I get so tired of the constant bring back MH. He finally did what he has been saying he is going to do. Move from the front of the camera to behind. He is still there. Maybe not every day (I have no idea what producers actually do) There are some people think he is off doing retirement things with his family and wife. I find that rather presumptuous. I also get tired of the bring back so a...

I watched a very interesting program recently

  I was watching PBS like I usually do and they rebroadcast a very interesting program.   It was Remembering Leonard Nimoy.   He was the talented actor who brought Star Trek’s Spock to Life.   This program was produced by his Daughter and covered his life from Boston to California and his career.   It also focused on his battle with COPD.    I learned a lot about his personal life and more importantly how he dealt with COPD and how it affected his life.   This program also explained what COPD is and all the medical views of it.    I found it to be very interesting. I saw the latest NCIS episode.   I can’t say it blew my socks off but it was good.    I like seeing how the character Gibbs is dealing with suspension and pretty much think that if they do have him retire it won’t be pretty.   As usual the fandom that I could see had mixed reactions like they usually do.   I still don’t understand why people who don’...

ncis

    I have been a fan of the T V show NCIS now for years.   It was starting its 3 rd or 4 th season when I became a regular viewer.    As time went on I saw the earlier episodes and got caught up.   I enjoyed the cast for the most part.   As the years passed each of the characters, actors, and writing annoyed me.   What was worse was some of the message boards and forums.   Some were of like minds, some would criticize it from the get go.   The worst time was at the end of winter and beginning of spring.   We all were waiting to hear if the show or the cast would renew their contracts.   We read articles (some of them were click bait and I learned which ones to believe) on the cast and crew.   All kinds of things sprung up.   IF the show changed people stopped watching but they still freaking post on episodes they haven’t watched or seen.   I mean how stupid can that be? Some of the posters sound like t...

Awesome News 2020

Image
Awesome news this week. After an shortened TV season because of the Corvid19 the    was some concern that the NCIS franchise had been cancelled out right.  It was announced or confirmed by Sean Murray in a tweet today that the franchise will be returning in September. The Season finale of NCIS "Arizona" was a great episode and it had good reviews from the various platforms I was on.   In equally awesome news Pauley Perrette's Show Broke was cancelled for next season.  In full disclosure I did watch the first episode.  I have mixed views on the episode.  I have not seen the subsequent episodes.  Of course others have and as in all shows some liked and some didn't.  Some are just blindly following her and are oblivious to her instability. I have been spending a lot of time watching and have seen shows I haven't been able to see in a long time.  Including Xena, The Virginian, LHOTP, and show I have only heard of. cbs network fandoms fa...

Eight Weeks and Counting

There is about 8 weeks until the season premiere of NCIS 15th Season. You would have to be living under a rock (or probably some far off planet unknown to man)not to know there have been changes and rumors running rampant. Just as soon as the rumors are squelched someone else brings them up again.  They could be about the end of NCIS to Mark Harmon’s Health status.  Tonight on ET Pauley Perrette will be responding to the ones primarily about her (I am guessing) and the skin care and why they are firing her (They are not firing her) but she is concerned that her job and her name could be sullied because of it.  Personally I wish they would. The writers are not doing her or her fans or the show’s fans by writing her like a spazoid and spoiled child. It was announced a couple weeks ago (or more?) that Jennifer esposito (Formerly of Blue Bloods and Alex Quinn in Season 14 of the show) was leaving to do new projects with John Travolta and a few other things.  The r...

Fans are in a panic

For the last few days or so there have been panic stricken fans posting to the FB that DM announced his leaving after this season.  He literally announced it when he announced MW’s departure last year.    Some are in denial citing that everyone signed a two year deal.  That is true but I don’t recall it including that of DMC2.  The current articles are all from Europe and Australia.  None from the US such as Variety and the others we tend to listen or believe most times.  I guess It will have to wait for the “official word”. Tonight is the “Philadelphia”episode.  We see the return of MI6 Clayton.  It will be very interesting to see if he will be in the bullpen by the end of the episode or will be showing up from time to time like Fornell.  Some are questioning the spacial problems this is presenting for them.   The ratings seem to be very steady for Season 14 so far.  If I understand it correctly NCIS came in 4th pl...

McGee Pops the Question

I was able to see this past week’s episode of NCIS entitled “Love Boat”.  I have to say it was quite good.  I have no problems with Torres or Quinn or the actors who play them.  I would have liked to have seen the reaction from the team on Delilah’s reaction but that may go against the main thought that no one wants to see the “personal side” of the agents.  Everyone did an excellent job. I read the synopsis of the next episode and we get to see Tony Dinozzo Sr.  I thought I read there would be either a surprise  appearance by Michael W and his alter ego in upcoming episodes (per chance Tim and Delilah’s wedding?) it may have been fan speculations. The discussions of Sean Murray’s weight Loss continues and my blood pressure keeps going up and up every time I read it.  I would like it very much of the Admins of any of the forums (mostly on FB) would get off their bums and Please say something.  I don’t care if you agree but really?? Enough...

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...

NCIS renewed for season 13

There isn't much on TV tonight and some of the marathon’s on WE and Sundance I have seen already.  I couldn’t believe the news I heard today though American Idol has been cancelled for the 2015-2016 season.  I heard a partial report and didn’t know if they were talking about this season but then I got online and saw an article that says Ryan Seacrest speaks out on it.  On one hand I didn’t watch it and never liked it.  I try not to watch those types of shows because they can be relentless and cruel. I was relieved to read that NCIS has been renewed for the 13th season.  Still no word on whether or not MH has signed on as cast member or crew member.  It has many people a little worried but at the same time some are saying he wouldn’t not sign on.  I have a feeling he will have reduced screen time and concentrate on being producer and director.  He as much as said so on different occasions.  As to whether or not season 13 will be the final...

A New Episode 9/30/2014

The second episode is starting.  I am not liking Tony in the first few moments.  I also didn’t think Michael was that impressive in the ET interview but I have a different sense of humor than others.  Michael did a couple of other interviews I will have to catch online later. Mark Harmon was on Live with Kelly and Michael today it was pretty good except for the fact that yet again the interviewers/research people just had to bring up People Magazines’ Sexiest Man alive.  When Kelly brought up she still had the cover and could look for it and Mark just smiled and told her to get a life in so many words.  They talked about tonight’s episode and his part in NOLA. Some of the discussions this past week included the possibility of CDP/ZD coming back to help with new big bad.  Of course some want it and some don’t..  I even made a trip to FACEBOOK and there still  some people who keep asking for both the actress/character to come back.  The ...

NCIS was renewed for Season 12

The news flew through the NCIS fandom yesterday that season 12 was a go.  Many of us had no doubts.  Others did.  Many are hoping that Emly Wickersham’s character will be gone and you know who has returned.  Should I state the obvious? Today’s double episodes were from season 7.   They are Jetlag and Masquerade..  The first episode brought a lot of criticism because the agents left their charge alone and she nearly died..   The second one we either meet or see MAllison Hart. again.  I didn’t watch all of it because it was dinner time and I went out afterwards. I am not sure if I mentioned this or not but the next big marathon is tomorrow and the theme is Lucky Ducky Marathon..  It starts around 9 or ten and that’s good because we are going to be out early tomorrow.  I am sure I will be catching some of it..

I Think I opened up a can of worms.

This  morning I replied to this episode discussion from the past week  It was my second reply to it this week.  Nicki5of7 and I were discussing Pauley’s interview and her character’s behavior in the episode towards the Internal Affairs guy.  Nicki loves Pauley while clearly I am no longer in enamoured with her.   Actually I don’t think I ever was. Pauley didn’t really touch on the anniversary episode very well.  Her character’s behavior on the show leaves a lot to be desired.   I feel that the cast and crew especially Pauley need to start speaking up about things that no longer work for the character.   If they don’t they (actually my feeling is she will) be typecast for the rest of their career.   This is the 21st century and I don’t believe HOllywood would blackball an actor or anyone if they spoke up about changes for their character or what ever.   I also take exception to PP’s behavior on twitter.  The fo...

I need to start avoiding the Official Facebook Page of NCIS

Every time I go there I end up getting aggravated by the same rhetoric.  The same shit every day.  The show has lost its chemistry (I don’t think it has), Bishop doesn’t fit in, Gibbs is this that and  the other.  (They have been saying that for like freaking 4 years).  I also get tired of reading “I don’t watch it anymore” or  the constant arguing of why watch it if you don’t like it (which I do actually agree with).  I find myself questioning the reasons for posting at message boards if you don’t watch the show anymore.  I have long since stopped watching a number of shows and I may lurk to see what the atmosphere is like or what if any are the same arguments might be that occurred when I was actively watching.  Its the dead horse beatings.  I also know that these arguments are also not solely at one message board.  It is on a number of them but they seem to handle them better than others. Today ownership of the Harmons_Fans Ya...
