megotelekI'll say it: I'm a sucker for these types of stories. I mean, come on!
Gibbs andBen Walton Gibbs senior? Gold. "You make them call you boss? Are you a boss, Leroy?" I wonder just how much his dad doesn't know. Does his dad know about the other ex-Mrs. Gibbses? He only talked about Shannon and the sense I got was that they stopped speaking after the funeral.
Speaking of which, he got the rules from Shannon! That's awesome. Though I wanted him to give her his name as "Jethro" rather than the full name and her randomly deciding to call him "Gibbs". Am I a bad person for finding present!Gibbs much, much more attractive than young!Gibbs?
ETA: The car! The grin on Gibbs' face! I about swooned right off the sofa at that point. Mark Harmon totally owns my soul.
That, and Gibbs Sr. being enchanted with Abby and Ziva was priceless. "She's a hugger." "FANTASTIC." Also telling: Gibbs being a practiced hand at running the store (you think he had to do that A LOT growing up?) and Gibbs Sr. giving Abby the wink!
It felt a little contrived that the killers would be tied so neatly to the bullies that beat on young!Gibbs, but...it's a small town. Everything's tied to everything, I would bet.
McGee...could have done better this time out. First with printing directions (Gibbs: "I know how to get there, McGee..") and then with the offhand remark to Gibbs' father ("I think he mentioned you were dead!"), I was facepalming a lot for him.
Other than that, the only thing we didn't call after the first SUPERAWKWARD interaction at the mansion was that Ethan would turn out to actually be Chuck's son (and Emily's brother). And that the kid would actually NOT be Ethan's. Very tricksy, NCIS.
We also watched Crazy People. Because I hadn't ever seen it (but heard it quoted extensively: "Volvo: boxy, but good." "Sony: because Caucasians are just too damn tall") and apparently that needed to be rectified immediately.
Hilarious. I love Dudley Moore. Also hilarious: I kept parsing the (evil!) ad executive as Stephen Weber in my head...even though it wasn't him. Also - I don't think you could make that movie today (example: the Sony ad). Which is kind of a shame.
