Rebecca couldn't help getting excited!
Feb. 7th, 2012 08:28 pmWell, it's finally here. Tonight's new NCIS was the show's 200th episode. The writers and producers have been promoting it since the season started +4 months ago. For a long time, I was very wary about the big 200. I didn't like the spoilers or how big a deal everyone was making of it. But right before it aired, I started getting excited. It was an effect of NCIS-deprivation more than anything else. This was our first new episode in four weeks! That's the longest hiatus we've had this season.
Well, I should've listened to my instincts. I think the showrunners made a fatal flaw in promoting the life out of this episode. There was no way it could've lived up to so much hype. No, it wasn't the worst episode, and yes, there were things I liked about it, but for me, the bad outweighed the good. Needless to say, I have a very long and somewhat angry review for this one. You've been warned.
( Notes on 9x14 "Life Before His Eyes," Part 1: The episode in general and stuff Rebecca liked )
( Part 2: What Rebecca didn't like! >:( )
P.S. Based on that promo, next week's episode (Secrets) looks plain silly. We'll see.
