Episode 2.15 – Caught on Tape: A Marine dies while hiking in a park with his wife and a colleague. The night before, they had an altercation with a loud guy in an RV. Gibbs and his team try to find out if he was involved in the death.

Couple days late... sorry... between the snow days here and my schedule lately, I haven't had time for anything.

[Aerie]

We don't mind waiting for new info. I love anticipation.

Hmmm I wonder how the humor will fit in and if the colleague did it or - not the wife. Oh please, not the wife. shudder, shudder.

Aww, poor Probie, does he fall in poison ivy or something? That would be a riot! Hehehe...
Sounds like it will have some good Abby scenes, too. I can't wait! ;D

This was a very good episode. Too much though, my mind is fried, so I'll let others say stuff

FAVE PARTS:
- Ducky and McGee ... OMG, that part was hilarious! And I knew someone was going to walk in with his pants down! LOL

- Gibbs and the dog I loved it when he was petting the dog and it rolled over to let him pet its stomach .. cute

- the actress who played the wife, her sister is Majandra Delfino (who played Maria on one of my other fave shows ROSWELL)

This episode was great. I'm kind of tired of all the Tony/Kate stuff but I won't discuss it here, of course. And omg, McGee with the poison ivy ... haha, that was just too funny

ok, me done ... carry on ...

I liked the interaction between Abby and Kate and their splitting of the bet money. As for the Kate naming the puppy Tony, he jokingly named another dog in previous episode "Kate." It was also nice to see some interaction between Gibbs and Kate when they were looking for the suspect because, there hasn't been much of that shown this season. I also liked the interaction between Abby and Gibbs and we find out that Gibbs has a digital camcorder. I felt sorry for McGee and the poision ivy situation, but, it also lightened the tone of the episode a bit. I also liked Abby's "warning" before showing the video tape to everyone else.

Okay, gonna keep it short and sweet.
Loved the Tony/Kate banter, especially the part about "Spike Steel". "He's never been arrested. Ever!"
I laughed when Palmer told Ducky, "That's gross, doctor." I was so proud of him. I also liked how Ducky was sort of...testing him, asking him how he thought the victim died and stuff.
I loved Abby's "Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Peace out, man," and his sort of blank stare.
The scene with Abby, McGee, Kate, and the hats was hilarious.
Poor McGee! When he was in autopsy and dropped his pants, I was expecting Tony to come walking in looking for gloves or something! Jimmy's reaction was funny, though. I also loved Ducky's response when McGee said that he had to relieve himself. "Oh...Oh..."
I liked how Tony was almost nice to McGee. Like when he didn't whack him on the head, and when they were talking about men and women being "just friends". When he was talking to McGee before the latter went into the woods was interesting, too. "Just...trying to impart some wisdom."
Tony sneaking up on Kate was funny, but it was obvious that Gibbs was gonna sneak up on Tony. "You realize that I used the word 'creepy' in the most...affectionate way."
I enjoyed Gibbs and the dog, and Kate and the dog. Especially when it growled at Tony. "Good dog."
The ending was classic, too, with Tony listening in, thinking that Kate was talking about him. Poor Kate, with her opinion about the sexes. "What is wrong with you people?"
But I absolutely loved the very end. "Has anyone seen my ballcap?"
"No."
And Gibbs looking over, grinning, and then just resuming his work.

I don't understand how you people peg the bad guys! I didn't think Runion did it. I was going for the lover. But oh well. At least it wasn't the wife! ;D

Okay, so I tried to keep it short...

My favorite part had to be Gibbs leaving the wife and best friend in interrogation even after they knew the hillbilly was the murderer, and saying that the dead guy would have appreciated it. That was nice.

This episode made a definate convert, so yay! Even if she had not been converted, it was still a wonderful episode. The characters were working together wonderfully, and the last scene had my laughing hysterically. And yes, I did notice the karma of Kate naming her dog Tony. And between the pink bow and the spiked collar...that dog has wonderful accessories. It was also great to have Abby in a more active role.

It's really not fair of me to comment tonight because I was so tired I wasn't really getting much out of it. But, I shall try to remain coherent.

I loved the bit with Gibbs sneaking up on Tony, especially when Tony said, "The old man's been wearing Bengay all week. I can smell him a mile off." I just knew Gibbs was coming, but it was still funny. (Felt a little bit sorry for Gibbs, though, with Tony essentially calling him old.)

When they got the tape of the rest area place that "proved" the redneck's alibi, I was suspicious. I figured something was wrong with it. But I didn't know what and was well red-herringed along the wife/best friend path.

The end bit, with the Tony/dog double talk, was fairly obvious but still cute. Like BP, I loved Gibbs expression when he saw Tony's cap on the floor. That little doubletake was great. (Poor Tony; he must go through as many caps as Gibbs does phones.)

I, personally, thought there was too much sex talk...but maybe that's just me. I'm really starting to identify with Kate; when she said, "What's wrong with you people?" I was thinking just about the same thing. A little disappointing, frankly; I thought "our show" was better than that.

Like I said, I was too tired to really get much out of it so I won't judge plot or anything. May have been the exhaustion, but I just wasn't that into this one.

*applauds* I couldn't have said it better myself. And it's not just you. I liked how season one pretty much stayed clear of "too much" sex. But I still think that "Forced Entry" takes the price in that category.

A little disappointing, frankly; I thought "our show" was better than that.

I think they are doing it to compete with the other shows that always include that kind of dialogue. Don't they know that the show is great without it and we would still watch it?

[Margaret]

Maybe the writers are getting it out of their systems?

[jtbwriter]

;D
Oh my God-I am so sore-and you agents made me laugh again at all the high points!

BP caught most of them, but Kate's remark when McGee and Tony were laughing at her, "I work with four year olds."-Priceless!

Where shall I begin-this was the most all-around funniest, but most telling epi of all! Everyone was spot on-from Gibbs and his stare down with the Park Ranger, to his apprehension of the "Drunk", to Kate's bewilderment at first Tony then McGee's ragging about women and men not being able to be just "friends"-and then Abby throwing her the same curve-perfect.

But that telling moment with Tony and Kate in interogation-"How come you've never-I know you."

Tony was so hysterical-not over the top, and his cap as a dog bowl-I love it! But his actually stopping to be helpful to McGee-our little boy is growing up!!!!

Abby was so hyper-but the hat business, her teaming up with Kate and then the parody of the disclaimer-perfect characterization! McGee is holding his own also-not taking guff, but the poison ivy-----one time he should have let Tony finish!

As for Ducky-the discourse about Coyotes and "people in LA"-I thought my sister was going to fall off the sofa!

All in all, a great epi! My only disagreement with a few of the reviews is the fact that the "sex talk" was appropriate and not too graphic-at least for this forty-something! I thought the bits about the "porn star' were hilarious and the fact that you never saw McGee's "swollen" area, just Ducky's face, left it all in our imaginations!

Somehow I think this epi held it's own with "AI"-best of all I taped it for re-play so I can enjoy it with my co-workers again!

I too loved this episode. I thought the dog named Tony was the perfect revenge for the imaginary mangy brown Shitzu named Kate. The look on Gibbs face at the end of the episode was absolutely priceless. Did anyone get a screen cap of that one? I need new wallpaper!!!! ;D
