I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

All is well that ends in pizza.

No, her answer is, "Who's asking? Clark or Superman? Castle or Captain Mal?"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Request that she be stationed out of NYC?

I could see this happening. For a few episodes anyway. I expect circumstances will lead her back to the NYPD pretty quickly. This is not a show that thwarts audience expectations in any major way (not since Will Beall left the writing staff). I guess I'm just fond enough of the characters that I don't mind that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'd think at least the boys would go with her team-wise.

It would be interesting to see them switch from a "NY feeling" show to a "DC feeling" show.

Anyone else watch NCIS and would like to explain to me what the heck happened?

I did. What do you need explained, Trudy?

It turns out that the CIA killed Vance's wife so now Gibbs has been muscled into assassinating his ex-wife's ex-husband?

Not quite. The CIA killed someone else that died earlier in the season, but they wanted the guy who killed Ziva's dad and the Director's wife to be blamed for it. So, they didn't want Ziva's and Gibbs to arrest the guy who killed the loved ones and find out he didn't d the other murders. Meanwhile, the sent Gibbs on a super secret mission so he wouldn't have to testify about all the things he has done. I don't think his target is going to end up being Fornell. I think it's going to be whoever Fornell is protecting.

It DOES seem unlikely that he's there to kill Fornell.

So the CIA was cool with Ziva accidentally tossing the dude off the ship and Tom Hanks' kid is a bit of a rogue?

Yeah, I can't seeing this show doing that, and it did look like Fornell was protecting someone still in the car.

So the CIA was cool with Ziva accidentally tossing the dude off the ship and Tom Hanks' kid is a bit of a rogue?

Yes, to the second question, but as to the first, it's not really clear. They're mad at her for going after the dude in the first place. Note that I'm not claiming that any of this makes sense or is good storytelling. I mainly still watch NCIS to see what Abby will be wearing; I still really want her apron from a couple weeks ago.

Well, it is the CIA. No one knows what they're up to.

edit: I watch it for Tony and Tim snarking at each other. "You're a car killer, Tony."
