Actually, the details in the tvguide story are mostly wrong. Ziva was never held captive on the freighter the episode has nothing to do with her captivity.

Tony's Alien bit was great

Just got a chance to watch the episode and it was pretty good. I've enjoyed the season so far and I agree with the previous post, Tony's Alien bit was fantastic it gave me a pretty good laugh.

Synopsis:



Ziva's back and now as an official NCIS agent and not "Officer David" anymore.

Captain Encino Man

Synopsis:



Nice to see Mike return again. He's a cool recurring character.

Although I would love to see "V" do well tonight, this is going to annihilate it and everyone else.

Casting spoiler for Tony's father, who will be introduced in January:

Synopsis:



Kelly Hu Guest Stars in this episode as Kai.

This episode is actually a continuation from the NCIS Los Angeles "Killshot" from last month.

Finished watching last week's episode earlier today. Robert Patrick was solid and Mike returning was cool too. I wonder if Patrick is going to be typecasted in military themed roles the rest of his career.

Synopsis:



Thought I would do a thread this week since this is the return of Gibbs' father who was introduced last season.

Since Ralph Waite is both Gibbs' father and Seely Booth's grandfather over on Bones, does that mean Gibbs and Booth are related?

Good ep with a sweet ending

I think if the HR woman would have taken her doll and gone back to her office Ziva may have jumped Tony right there in the hall.

I wish those two would just get it on already.

Did not like this episode. It maybe getting too formulaic, I knew who the killer was as soon as he/she was introduiced.

I frequently know who the killer is well before the end. That never stops me from enjoying the show.

I had to do a double-take at Abby in that opening photo for this episode's thread.

Synopsis:



New episode tonight. Updated the photo too. Abby and Ziva look quite good.

I liked the fact that the lawyer chick worked for Wolfram and Hart.

Me too.

Synopsis:



Absolutely perfect casting getting Robert Wagner as Tony's Dad.

Nice little behind the scenes video for this episode:

I enjoyed this episode. Wagner was a great Dinozza SR.

Ziva looked awesome with the new hair and I loved when Tony and Gibbs both sat down at the end to have steak together and whipped out the ZT knives to cut it with.

Havent seen NCIS threads for a while.
It was funny to see a female gibbs.
Good to see Diane Neal again.

It was hilarious at the end when Ziva said in exhasperation to Tony

Diane Neal has a lot of onscreen charisma for TV. She was also pretty good in a recent episode of "White Collar".

I noticed they got a dolphin on screen. In the one shot on the beach looking out over the water, one surfaces & goes back under.
