It wouldn't surprise me if Gibbs felt that Tony needed more fatherly time after seeing the waste product that his real daddy is.

While I can totally see that, and can even see Tony looking up to Gibbs and seeking his approval, I totally don't see Gibbs in more than a loosely avuncular role to him. Whether or not he was invited, my point is that it's how many seasons in and we're just now seeing Gibbs invite someone into his home for a meal? Most all of the other visits were visits provoked by some sturm and drang or the other. Only Fornell had a truly convivial air with him. Who I miss, BTW.

One of the reruns on Monday was where they had to work with the FBI on a case, and Fornell comes storming in to the office, all pissed off, Gibbs barks out "Conference room!" they go storming off into the elevator, flip the switch, and break out laughing over their little charade. I love watching those two in their conference-room chats!

Oh, and now that I finally got caught up on Castle last night, I have to say, Esposito? Should wear suits with vests more often. Man look damned fine during that interrogation with the jacket off and the vest buttoned all the way up.

What I did like about that little scene between Gibbs and Tony was Tony admitting he was getting just a little too old for the frat boy antics. Seriously, it was funny 7 years ago, now, NSM. More character growth, writers! We wants it.

Michael Weatherly said they're going to back off the goofishness for Tony for a while. About freaking time.

I think that is one of the reasons Gibbs is so hard on Tony. He knows there is more to Tony than the goofiness, but before Tony worked for Gibbs he flitted about from one police department to another with no real purpose to his life. He needs someone to expect better from him.

I wasn't aware that Ziva was going for citizenship. It was funny that one of the few admendments Gibbs knew was Prohibition. "Why do I have to learn these things and you don't!" "I was born here!"

Most of things they have Ziva studying are totally not on the test. It's irritating.

Castle has been married twice? Do we know anything about the second wife?

And which one is Alexis' mother?
