NCIS series 4 & Star Wars
I decided to splash out and buy series 4 as it was cheaper (though not as cheap as I've gotten other series for). I am rather surprised by the Tony storyline, I can't believe he would tell this girl he loves her whilst simultaneously keeping her in the dark about what his real profession is. I don't think it bodes well for series 5, as soon as she finds out he's not a professor and is in fact with NCIS and been lying to her all that time she's not likely to stay with him.
I rather loved Ducky complaining that he was going to have to read McGee's new book.
There was a lot more special features on this one than previous box sets which was a plus. I liked the cast round table one, some of the other ones weren't so great though. I seem to remember DM saying he would play Ziva if he could play a different character (unless I'm blurring it with one of the other cast members), though really Ziva is a slightly similar character to Illya. Both are from nations not entirely trusted by America, both are meant to be killers, etc. Of course really, some of Ducky's character traits are similar to Illya in terms of sense of humour, etc. Also Ducky managed to chase those youths in the Halloween episode for several blocks and catch them*G* There's certainly more to him than meets the eye. So really in a way Ziva could be young Illya and Ducky would be older Illya.
I was watching Bring Back Star Wars yesterday and it was slightly disappointing. They couldn't get in contact with Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill was wanting $50,000 to show up which obviously the show couldn't afford. It's disappointing to hear that actors don't get on with each other. C3P0 and R2D2 won't be in the same room together, and Hamill is jealous of Ford's success (which I already suspected anyway).
It's like when you hear that the cast of the original Star Trek didn't get on. I still enjoy watching the episodes but you don't expect this sort of behind the scenes antagonism with shows and actors you love. I remember when they did Bring back the A-team, I discovered that George Peppard didn't get along with Mr T which came as a complete shock. I seem to remember when they got to the get together Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict were the only a-team cast members to show up (Decker may have been there as well but I don't remember). I would have expected Mr T to show as well but he didn't, though George Peppard's son was there.
