Ari MUST die!
If you know the answers to these questions:
1. What does the 2nd B in Gibbs stand for?
2. Which two characters know how to use sign language?
3. Which two characters have tattoos?
5. Where did Agent McGee graduate from?
then most probably you are already a convert of Navy NCIS. For the uninitiated, NCIS, which is basically the acronym for Naval Criminal Investigation Service, a real life law enforcement agency and as the name suggests, has jurisdiction over and investigates any crime that has a shred of evidence connected to the US Navy and Marine Corps personnel (and covering everything from murder to terrorism). This show is simply, in my strongest opinion, the ‘in’ series to be caught dead watching for the year 04/05. Created by the prolific Donald P. Bellisario (of JAG, Magnum PI and Quantum Leap fame) It ranked 15th on the most watch show on primetime CBS. While my gf (now ex) fell in love with CSI, I on the other hand fell in love with NCIS while catching it’s 2nd episode of Season 1 on our local terrestrial television station 8TV. What got me hooked was the drama, humor, (not the typical American slapstick, but the more intelligent sarcasm, innuendos and wordplay) and the dynamic interactions between the characters. NCIS generally reveals its characters’ traits through their office relationships. It focuses on just one case per episode to allow increased interaction for the team. In solving it’s cases the team interestingly, ensure that they step on as many toes as possible, in particular the Secret Service, FBI and CIA.
Leading this team that operates outside of the military chain of command is NCIS (the cranky bastard) Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs is a highly skilled investigator and interrogator who is smart, tough and willing to bend the rules to get the job done. The thrice-married Gibbs, a former Marine Corp Gunnery Sergeant Major, is always seen with a cup of coffee in his hand.
NICS Personnel Files
Special Agent Anthony ‘Tony’ DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), a former Baltimore PD homicide detective has instincts that comes from working on the streets. Dee-NO!-zo as Agent Gibbs calls him, is the epitome of shirt-chasing ‘buayas’. Often times exacerbating his childish behavior and jock mentality (which always entails getting a slap at the back of his head by Gibbs) is the senior agent in the team and specializes in information gathering and background checks. Never fails to raise an eyebrow, when he delivers results in his unorthodox ways. As Agent Gibbs says “You might not approve of his methods but you gotta love the results”
Agent Caitlin ‘Kate’ Todd (Sasha Alexander) is the extremely HOT, tough former Secret Service agent in charge of the president’s security on Air Force One. She is Catholic, friendly, conservative and compassionate. I’d take her over FBI’s Agent Scully any day of the week!
Forensics specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a gifted scientist with a triple degree, and whose dark wit matches her goth-style hair , tattoos, clothes and lifestyle. Abby is the alternative-lifestyle person who is equally addicted to caffeine as Gibbs, but takes her ‘fixes’ in the form of soft drinks.
We have the adorable Medical Examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum), with his very famous “Ahh, this reminds me of a time…”, and fills us with very interesting tidbits of knowledge.
Two new addition to the team is Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Medical Assistant Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). McGee is a graduate of MIT and John Hopkins University, whose computer skills earned him a spot on Gibb’s team as a probationary field agent or ‘Proby’ as the older members like to call him. Palmer replaced the injured former ME Assistant Gerald Jackson (Pancho Demmings) who’s shoulder joints were shot by Aril Haswari, Gibbs now arch nemisis, to demonstrate his point in the episode Bete Noire.
What does this have to do with the title of this blog post?
Sasha Alexander will leaving the show …sob sob. The producers (those bastards!) then decided to kill off her Character, Agent Kate Todd, in the last episode of season 2 - Twilight. The person responsible for the murder is Ari Haswari (a Mossad secret service double agent) putting a bullet meant for Gibbs, in her head with a sniper rifle! Ari has been a thorn in the NCIS team’s sides ever since they crossed paths when he penetrated NCIS HQ’s forensics lab in season 1 (Same episode where he injuired Jackson). This really upset fans. Newsgroup and bulletin board erupted with outrage and so did I as to why this blog is being written. If they do manage to catch him, I would be glad to give ideas to Gibbs and DiNozzo on how to settle scores with the goddarn freaking sonnavitch…It involves one of Ducky’s scaples, castration, slow peeling, salt and a very creatively wraped state of mind (which I am in right now).
