rebecca_in_blueRemember that coworker I mentioned who complains all the time? Well, things came to a head yesterday. As soon as I got to work, he started griping about a really minor thing our manager said. I called him out on it, and he snapped back. We started arguing, and to make a long story short, he said that he was never going to speak to me again. (I was really tempted to say, "Promise? Can I get that in writing?" I was so tired of his constant negativity.) He also unfriended me on Facebook. I think he behaved very immaturely, and I'm sure anyone would agree with me, but so far, I've resisted the temptation to discuss it with anyone else I work with. I hate drama and don't want to generate any more. This person and I will have to continue working together, and I hope we can both act like adults. I'm kinda sad over it, because we used to be friends, but then he turned into such a moper. Oh, well. He'll punish himself better than I ever could.
Anyway, onto happier subjects -- tonight's new NCIS episode!
Notes on episode 9x20 The Missionary Position
(Featuring Samantha Ryan, last seen in The Tell)
Writer: Allison Abner
+ I lol'ed at Jimmy's kitschy tuxedo, and the look on Ziva's face when he mentioned Breena wanting her for one of the bridesmaids. (Couldn't you just hear her thinking, "Abort, abort!") I am so excited to see Jimmy's wedding.
- Gibbs and Ryan's "morning after" scene was painful for me, especially "Somebody else used to say that." I was really surprised he referenced Shannon around her. He avoided telling Hollis Mann, Director Shepherd, and even Ducky about his family for as long as possible.
- Gibbs arriving late to the crime scene? Ugh. It kinda harkened back to Tony's plan in Safe Harbor to find a woman for Gibbs so that he would be less of a workaholic. Now that it could be coming to pass, the team doesn't seem happy about it. (Good. I hate those two together too.)
- "Chaplain Burke had her hands full with us a few months back." Yeah, can somebody remind me why she was even in that arc? She didn't serve any purpose or entertainment value that I can recall.
+ Ducky and Jimmy's autopsy scene -- awww. I am a little disappointed, though, that Ducky bowed out of being the Best Man. He seemed like the best choice to me. God loves a duck!
+ I chuckled at Monique flirting with Gibbs.
+ Ziva pushing to go to Colombia alone rubbed me the wrong way.
+ I love it when Ziva gets to speak Spanish. Cote de Pablo is probably like, "Yes! Finally, a language I don't have to pretend to speak!" And holy cow, how hot was she in those Colombia scenes? I wanted to lick my screen!
- As an aside, did anyone else find Monique kinda unattractive? But then again, the only woman who could look good standing next to Cote de Pablo is Marion Cotillard!
+ McGee getting to chase down Manny -- yay! It was brief, but McGee almost never gets any action.
+ Tony's scene with Chaplain Castro -- it was nice to see the more serious, thoughtful side of him. It also made me chuckle a little that he had a more meaningful moment with her than he did with Ziva. EW put a Tiva spin on the spoilers for this episode, but there turned out to be almost no Tiva at all! A reminder to us all not to trust the spoilers.
+ Jimmy picking Abby for his "Best Woman" -- oh my gosh, what a great idea! And how cute was their scene together? And Gibbs calling her the "best Best Man for the job" made my heart melt a little. Awww.
- Monique telling Ziva that the case was too dangerous -- oh, the cheesy dialogue. Ugh.
- Gibbs getting pissed at Ryan for not telling him what she knew about the case -- perhaps this will be the wedge that drives them apart. I mean, we all know they won't last. In their scene in Ryan's office, I actually wondered if they were angry or flirting with each other.
+ "The best we can do is find Chaplain Wade and bring her home." Thank you, Tony, for reminding them why they were in Colombia in the first place. I thought for a moment that Ziva and Monique had forgotten.
- So Monique decided to stay in Colombia. This woman is supposed to be important to Ziva, but we've never heard her mentioned before "and never will again, I fancy."
- The final scene of Gibbs and Ryan on his couch -- it was a more much intimate moment than we usually see of Gibbs and his love interests. I mean, he kissed, flirted, and wined and dined with Director Shepherd, Hollis Mann, and Mallison Hartless, but snuggling on the couch like this almost reminded me of the dream/flashback of him in bed with Shannon in Engaged: Part 1. I did not like it. It was also oddly reminiscent of the final scene of him holding Abby at the end of Enemy on the Hill.
