The NCIS team this week had to deal with pirates. It made for quite a fun and intense episode, and we also saw Diane Neal reprise her role as CGIS Agent Abigail Borin.
Meanwhile, in DC, Ducky discovers the body does not belong to Willis. Abby deduces that the dead guy is Ernesto Vilandro, and that he's wanted for piracy. On The San Dominick, Gibbs stays behind after the Captain is transferred to the hospital. Gibbs checks the radio room and finds it covered in blood, demanding answers from a crew member. However, Gibbs, the crew member and a Petty Officer are taken hostage by another pirate named Renaldo. The pirates demand $10 million for their release. In DC, McGee and Bishop discover the entire plan of the pirates and learn they got on board by using false IDs. As the situation on The San Dominick threatens to escalate, Gibbs offers himself to be sacrificed. Instead, he overpowers Renaldo and frees the rest of the crew. Renaldo leads Gibbs to a shipping container which appears to be empty until Gibbs discovers a bomb.
Also in the hour, we got to see McGee as 'McGibbs' as he was put in charge of the team by Tony. This made for some fun moments as he quotes a non-existent rule number 70. He also explained the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars (hilarious!).
I think this was quite a fun episode, with some nice one-liners here and there. Seeing McGee in charge was good to see, and I liked Abby calling him McGibbs. The episode was also intense and action-packed, which I very much enjoyed. And as always, I am glad to see Diane Neal again. I wish we could see her more often! Overall, I am really enjoying the season so far and I hope they can keep up the quality.

I also really enjoyed this episode. I liked that there was lots of Gibbs, and I loved McGibbs. I'd like to see McGee put in charge more often. Loved rule #70 too. lol
ReplyDeleteI had been waiting for this episode pretty much since 11x06, because, I mean, you can never have enough Diane Neal / Abigail Borin on your computer screen, right?
ReplyDeleteLoved the training stuff and how McGee was in charge ^-^ But seriously tho, that Rule Nr. 70 will definetely be added to mine ;-)
Also, I thought it was a pity they didn´t give any Abby² Moments.... Still, Borin was once again amazing. I really loved her scenes with Tony and how she offered him a job in the end - and then told him he´d make her number three!
But my favorite scene from the episode was the one where Borin punched Gibbs in the shoulder - I just somehow found it incredibly cute *-*
Yeah, McGee should definitely be in charge more often. It was great to see!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Diane Neal/Abigail Borin so it was a pleasure to see her again. Some Abby² moments woud definitely have been nice. I agree, it was fun to see Borin punch Gibbs in the shoulder. She can be like a female Gibbs at times.
ReplyDeleteI thought the McGee scenes had some great humor, but to me, they showed how NOT ready McGee was to be the boss. When he and Bishop went to check out the guy's hotel room, they found the door open, and instead of following protocol, they walked in without guns drawn, and then didn't even bother to clear the room! McGee got Gibbs quirks right, but can't quite follow them up with the confidence and authority necessary to lead. Which is fine, I enjoyed the scenes and Tim's efforts. Best for me was finally seeing the strong, confident Tony I miss so much, and all the Borin/Tony/Gibbs interactions were great. Also loved seeing Tony do some more mentoring with Bishop, which is one of my fave things this season. All in all a fun ep with a great team dynamic.
