"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I like Joe Flanigan, but I don't think he could ever come off as sincere or downtrodden enough to play Jim Rockford. Now if we were discussing a remake of Baretta... he and Fred even have a similar hair/feathers thing going on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. I hated that episode of NCIS. I can just about buy Gibbs getting away with going vengey on the person that killed his family, but letting his mother-in-law frame someone else for a murder she committed, and having Vance be down with it because the victim was nominally involved? Heinous.

Also, I don't know what my ring size is. The idea that Ziva knows, just in case, is laughable. And they could just have looked up what you need to study for the citizenship test. You sure don't need to read the Declaration of Independence.

L&O: I'm going to persist in not seeing hoyay between Lupes and Bernard, but the whole tell-the-story-to-me thing was very touching.

Go Lupo and the bad decision-making. No change there. At least he had something DSM-worthy to blame it on that time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

FTR, I know my ring size. But I like rings.

You may not have to read the Declaration, but there's nothing to say that someone wouldn't.

She said she was reading it for the test. It has nothing to do with the test. Just about nothing she's said she was doing for the test has anything to do with the test. It's not very hard to research. It's only 100 questions.

FTR, I know my ring size. But I like rings.

I believe quite a few women know their ring size. But for Ziva to coyly say every woman knows their size "just in case" shrieks OOC to me. That's not about buying jewelry (which I do), but having it bought for you.

Art Crawl!!!

So, you don't think that Ziva said that just to mess with Tony?

I don't like that Ziva much either. But no, I took her stuff at face value, that she was actually talking to "Parker."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

She said she was reading it for the test. It has nothing to do with the test. Just about nothing she's said she was doing for the test has anything to do with the test.

I haven't seen last night's ep yet, but her earlier statements about the citizenship test were questionable. I was wondering if NCIS had a special test or something because it was a bit off the wall.

Glad to know things haven't changed yet.

Oh, I have no idea what my ring size is.

Always Anti-fascist!

I used to know I think, but given the way my rings wobble on my fingers, if I were buying one now, I might want to adjust them.

Wow. I hated that episode of NCIS.

God, yes. That was sooo bad. Note to the showrunner: Please stop making everything All About Gibbs. Oh, and make sure Sean Murray eats something--the lighting in the final scene with the three team members sitting at Tony's desk made SM look gaunt. And he doesn't look any better in next week's preview.
