Back in my good graces show but I had to trash you first NCIS LA review

Do you guys remember that discussion in Empty Quiver, re-watch the first scene with Pam Greer and Sam bond automatically over the fact that she was in a relationship with her married partner, where he compared it the higher meaning to their partnership and the job? Sam tells her he doesn't wear his wedding ring often and he's not at home, he ( Read more... )

I see Sam as someone who never really gives himself over completely to someone unless he is well and truly honest with them, but he gets easily tangled up in emotional situations because he has huge sense of responsibility. Did he love Jada? I believe in another time he could have spent his life with her, in their moments together when he was into his character yes he did. Beyond that, I don't think so. When he is at home, he has to keep the lies he gives to his family and his team separate and straight so adding Jada would really confuse the issue.

The chances the team knew seeing as Sam doesn't wear a ring or talk about his spouse? I doubt it.

As for the SGA ep, I remember that one clearly and I was just plain mad. The writers as usual dropped the ball with that one.
I would feel that way if Sam went home and was all lvoey dovey with the wife he never talks about or spends much time with but its clear his family life is off which would also explain why he doesn't talk about them.

Wow that song. The lyrics that I had picked up during the show I had thought were referring to how he'd fallen in love with and then betrayed another woman, and what did that say about his mariage.

In an early episode, Sam was in bed with someone, which we now assume was his wife. She'd not been mentioned or referred to. I have to wonder if the ptb remembered that he was married or not? There are so many times when he did things that you would never expect him to do if he was married. What that says about his relationship with is wife is just sad. I agree totally that G is far more important to him than his wife.

Before this last episode I had this whole thing in my head about how Sam and G were going off together for the weekends, and that when Hetty was sending Sam home to his family, that meant G. I mean, G bought Sam a car because Sam was all sad about his getting stollen!! That is not the act of a friend. That's the act of someone who loves you enough to know exactly what you want and how much it means to you and is willing to ( ... )

I think the fact that they asked LL to record this song for his character and that Shane said that Sam has 'family aspects' to him suggests they knew they weren't going to go the devoted husband routine. I wasn't sure if they remembered themselves especially when Sam agreed to go to the Bahamas for a week because G asked, really who does that unless duh you are married to your partner.

I am so scared for poor Deeks; the show really ripped my heart out this past week and I don't Deeks stamped on. Dammit, Sam and Ga are already a hot mess we need Deeks and Kensi to balance that all out.
