Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Predator" -- 10/06/09
 

Way better episode than the last two. I think it is starting to develop its own character, so to speak.

Thought the bit with them crashing the hacker conference was pretty good.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Predator" -- 10/06/09
 

Well, I tried something different. Instead of watching this episode directly after NCIS, I kept it on my DVR and watched it later.

It helped but it didn't help a lot. Yes, the stronger episodes of NCIS were knocking the wind out of NCIS: Los Angeles. The problem is the jumpy focus, where as NCIS and JAG always knew how to focus on one conversation or scene at a time.

Its a disjointing to go from one conversation, stop before its over, hop over to another conversation, and then go back and finish the other one.

The cast is large but then again so are NCIS' and JAG's. But in the case of NCIS and JAG they always fnished a conversation or scene before switching to another subject.

Tonights episode for instance, had a conversation with G and Sam talking then before they finish; it cuts to Nate, Kensi, and Hetty talking something else entirely different, The focus then goes back to G and Sam and they finish their conversation.

I tried to stay with it and I know its growing pains but come on, other rookie shows like Mercy and The Good Wife don't have this weird ADD effect with the character focus.

since when are Hellfires remote controlled?

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Predator" -- 10/06/09
 

Is there something off about the one females eye? For part of the episode she looked a bit odd but maybe i was too far from the tv or my picture quality wasnt that good.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Predator" -- 10/06/09
 

Ehhhh. While I thought this episode was slightly better than the previous offering, I still dont know about this show. It doesnt seem to have its "rhythm" yet. Whereas NCIS has their formula down pat, This show is still struggling to figure out what peoples roles are. At thsi point, I wouldnt be too heartbroken if this show didnt go further. I think what it needs the most, is some distance from the original. Let it develop on its own. When aired right after the original, it just pales in comparison.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Predator" -- 10/06/09
 

Actually it's the highest rated new show this show (over 17M viewers a week) and CBS already gave it a full 22 episode season.

I think NCIS went through the same growing pains as it got comparisons to JAG and alot of people weren't crazy about it's first couple of seasons. NCIS: LA will be fine and get into a rhythm.

Synopsis:




Saw last week's episode a few days ago. I agree with what was mentioned last week Daniela Ruah's eyes looked really strange.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/13/09
 

That is next week's episode.

This week's was pretty good, with the Blackwater-esque angle and it was great to see Jonathan Adams (Bones) again. But damn, Linda Hunt's character is annoying.

Loved the cute chick's trick with the Blackwater guys.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/13/09
 

Apparently CBS made a last minute episode switch.

Fixed the OP.

Jadzia: Can you please change the episode title to "Search and Destroy"

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/13/09
 

nothing like doing a stake out with a car that stands out

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/13/09
 

I always love a good Star Trek shout-out and those stakeout cars did stick out.

Synopsis:



Alright this was the episode that was supposed to air last week.

Rocky Caroll (Director Vance) and Pauley Perrette (Abby) from NCIS Guest Star tonight.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

all that blood and no one says "we should look for a blood trail"

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

That was my thought but since the shooter was a pro, I figured she dressed the wound on the fly to avoid folks following the blood trail.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

Funny, my thought was "she planned ahead and dumped fake blood in the car to make it seem she was dead."

Apparently, I watch too much TV if that's my first thought.

The farther we get into the season, the better I like this show. I still think it's handicapped by being in the timeslot right after NCIS, though.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

^^that was my first thought too. Way too much blood for them to not find a body.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

Hadn't thought of that. I guess I've spent my time watching the wrong shows! I like the fake blood scenario better.

Am I the only person who watches LA but doesn't watch the original NCIS?

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

What's the deal with Abby's 'alternate' lab. It sure didn't look like the lab she's normally in.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Killshot" -- 10/20/09
 

I didn't like a lot about her involvement in this episode. "Real NCIS" Abby would never address the director as "Leon."

Synopsis:



Everytime I watch an episode of this show and Daniela Ruah comes on screen, I get so distracted by how weird looking her eyes are. She's quite attractive and a good supporting cast member, but I don't know if it's just the way she's shot or the camera angles or what.

Re: NCIS: Los Angeles -- "Keepin' It Real" -- 11/03/09
 

Decent episode.

The case itself about the counterfeiting ring in the marine base was pretty interesting, although pretty standard.

The thing that I found interesting was the introduction of a potential love interest for Callen. The show is still very early in it's run and I thought it was a little forced.

Synopsis:



I've been really liking NCIS: LA

Alright for anyone how just started watching this season and did not see the backdoor Pilot "The Legend" on NCIS last season, this episode is a continuation of that story arc.

Here is the scene from that episode that applies to this episode:

Synopsis:



New episode tonight as well. All caught up after being a few weeks behind. Really digging NCIS LA. I think O'Donnell and LL Cool J have really found their groove on this show.

BTW, if anyone has noticed Daniela Ruah's (Kensi) strange looking right eye, I read an article that said she has a birth mark on her right eye.

NCIS Los Angeles 4/6/10
 

So it looks like they're bringing in a new character
which brings up the question of "what happened to the black guy?"
I mean beyond him getting abducted, I saw that. but there's been no mention of him since
I don't expect the characters, who are professional agents and have seen a lot of bad stuff, to be constantly moping around but it's like the black probie never existed

Re: NCIS Los Angeles 4/6/10
 

They've mentinoned him multiple times in multiple episodes.

Did the show just fire the actor or something. Not sure why he left.
