I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

“Not dead yet!”

The scene where they give Grace's character her shield? I was totally sniffly and resentful of it. I should be saving emo for a better show, dammit.

Got me too, and I had called the scene early in the episode. Any time that Danno's with his daughter or talking about her, gets me all lump-in-my-throat.

Seriously-- little hobbit has totally hooked me.

I totally missed it last night, but someone on TWOP pointed out that having Calderon be a big Castle fan was a big Romancing the Stone shout-out.

That's sure how it came across.

I finally got caught up on the last two eps of H50--very fun! I'm really enjoying the Caan/AO'L sniping, and Caan is rocking that cane (I'm guessing he really did mess up his knee?).

Catching up on H50 also. Lots of familiar faces last night!

I think the character stuff has been great on H50. The problem I'm having is buying that even with the governor's blessing they're getting away with the methods they are getting away with. I do like that Danno, though a hothead, is the more by-the-book of the two.

For a moment in NCIS, I thought Tony was actually drinking deer urine, they'd play that kind of trick on him. But no, just tea for his throat.

Liked that fakeout of the tea and the rifle.

Does it strike you that the show is feeling more like early-NCIS than the more recent (and poorer quality) angst-filled later episodes? They're going for a more light-hearted feel that I'm liking a lot.

Also, it seems like the guys are calling McGee "Tim" all of the sudden. I know that Tony's been doing that more since the beginning of Season 7, but now McGee doesn't have to either screw up massively or do something terrific to have Gibbs call him by his first name.

More caper-y, yes. But I suspect we're going to get some Ziva-dad angst here soon. I quite like that McGee is getting the respect he deserves. I find myself yearning for a nice "agent in danger, team to the rescue" stuff, though. Something to accentuate how they feel about each other.
