-There is nothing I do not love about the initial squadroom scene. Especially the very first shot of Jimmy's face in the elevator. I started laughing right then and there. I love that he and Breena know how bad the outfits are and they're just going with it. And I love how McGee is so impressed with the bold choice. Haha.
-Gibbs/Ryan. I'm sorry, I can't be diplomatic about this. Gag.
-Jimmy wearing the fuschia shirt to the crime scene! Jimmy wins this episode already and I'm only 10 minutes in.
-Even though he's not really doing anything out of the ordinary in this scene, I love Ducky in it. He just nails it.
-Gibbs late? I call bullshit. Out of character.
-I love the phoof shot of Gibbs looking up at the sky. Beautful.
-It seems like they wrote this episode with Chaplain Burke in mind as the chaplain liaison and then couldn't book the actress. It's very weird to have two different chaplains in the same season.
-The autopsy. Again, Ducky and Jimmy are KILLING it. Ducky's speech and Jimmy's last line. Amazing.
-The look on Ziva's face as Tony tries to explain about why he should be best man is hilarious. She perfectly nails exasperated and slightly bored look.
-Love Jimmy seeking out Ziva for a heart to heart and her triumphant look when McGee says she has a phone call.
-I love the interplay between all the characters in this episode. It's so dynamic and lovely. Who wrote this?
-...And Monique is hitting on Gibbs, too. Yikes.
-Ziva's reaction is a bit strange. Does she really want to go back to being the solo secret agent girl?
-I find it strange how Gibbs still refers to Ryan as "Doc" and she refers to herself as a "brain gamer," using his derogatory term. They're still a bit uncomfortable with each other.
-I love it when Cote de Pablo gets to speak Spanish.
-One room again. But this time it's Three's Company.
-Monique definitely has that early Ziva vibe, being sexual and making everybody uncomfortable, yet she's very distinct. They did a good job with the character.
-Love badass McGee and Gibbs taking down the bad guy.
(I lost a bunch of much more detailed commentary here when my computer bluescreened.)
-Liked Tony's "I love Ziva" face when the chaplain talks about not having to be alone.
-Ryan was sort of okay in that scene in her office. I can tolerate her when she's not trying to be cute or flirty.
-"Major Mass Spec and I are breaking up." "What? No!" Jimmy's delivery! You win again, Brian Dietzen. Seriously, why isn't he in every episode?
-Yay Best Woman Abby. Nude ice hockey? Bring it.
-I love Gibbs calling Abby pretty.
-Of course Monique is semi-bad. Poor Ziva, everyone betrays her eventually.
-Why are Ziva and Monique threatening the CIA? And now the CIA is talking? This just took a hard left into WTF. And now they're blowing stuff up? Oh dear.
-I love Gibbs giving McGee a punch for a job well done.
-And now Monique's telling Ziva not to get involved with people to find happiness. I expected the message of this episode to be the opposite.
