That was a good NCIS. I always enjoy watching McGee get to shine, and Palmer was a perfect addition. "Well, there's a lightbulb."
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

I loved Palmers little digression over the squirrel. With Ducky's full approval, too! Hee.

Yes, that was very cute.

I'm a recent fan of NCIS (my mom got me hooked back in October, and I've been catching up mostly through the holiday marathons), and I loved last night's ep! McGee's probably my favorite character, and it was great seeing him get the lead in the case.
I loved Ziva going up to the tail and snapping his photo instead of holding a gun to his head (which is what I was expecting)--shows she's moving past her Mossad training and utilizing her crime solving training more.

I pray, pray, pray that that lawyer female is only going to be an opponent and doesn't morph into some twisted love interest for Gibbs. I don't think I've ever hated a character more at first meeting.
What did Colonel Bell do? I don't remember.

I gotta agree with that, Connie. I hated her at first words.
I remember Bell's face, but I can't remember what he did.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

But if she becomes a love interest for Gibbs, that means she'll be killed off!

Tom makes a good point.
The "have you ever been a redhead" and "Maybe you were married to her" remarks were funny, though. At least Gibbs knows his weak spots--and falling for someone proven to be connected to an adversary is not one of them.
NCIS: LA wasn't as obnoxious as usual. It's so weird to see the two shows side-by-side, they have such different feels.

With that one sentence, you've managed to make me do a 180° and become a DiNozzo/Gibbs 'shipper.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still find it hard to move NCIS:LA above background status. But it's pleasant enough background. Though they seem to have backed off the G/Sam flirting a bit--they're using Kensi more out in the field and splitting the boys up. They also seem to be easing up on G's epic man pain.
The evil lawyer lady from NCIS worked for Wolfram, Hart, & someone else. Nice shoutout.
But if she becomes a love interest for Gibbs, that means she'll be killed off!
They only killed his first wife, IIRC. The wives he divorced and the army lady he dated for a while are still all alive.
