I don't watch much NCIS:LA, but I was pleased to see that they finally addressed potential future job prospects for both Tony and McGee on NCIS. Tim pointing out to Ziva that Tony cannot turn down another promotion like he did the Rota offer without committing career suicide makes me believe that TPTB are finally listening to the fanbase. Not only that, but they did a lot of callbacks to previous seasons and character backstory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Michael Weatherly is really aging out of Tony. I think they need to mature his character so that his behaviour is more in line with his face. He was always pretty pathetic (I think they did a weak job of dancing the line), but it looks so much worse when his face is mature and his character so deeply juvenile.

Oh, I so totally agree! He seemed more mature back in Season 1 than he does now, even though he's so much older. The way he got led out of the bullpen by his hormones after the blood drive nurse was just pathetic.

And they totally glossed over a totally valid idea that the bubonic plague experience gave him medical-related phobias. It would have made him sound so much less inane.
Where is the Tony that dated Jeanne? Show me he's hiding something or covering something. Spend more time making him deeply competent.
(I think they failed where SPN goes with Dean. Dean is intermittently totally inane, completely tortured, and scarily hyper-competent. That works for me. Tony spends too much time looking like a caricature)

Is the CM spin-off starting tonight?
I can't decide if I want to give it a try.

I'm dvring it, but mostly because of Jeanine Garofalo than anyone else. Unless it grabs me right away, I'll give it a few eps and nothing more.

I'm giving it a shot. I wasn't terribly impressed with them in the teaser episode last season, but we'll see.

“Not dead yet!”
Pilots (in this case teaser eps) almost always suck donkey balls, so I'll give it a go. Besides, I don't have anything else to watch at ten other than to switch over to CM reruns on Ion.
