NCIS “Kill Screen” Season 8 Episode 16 – An episode about people hiding secrets in computer games was the perfect vehicle for a very McGee-centric episode. A bunch of us were saying up here last week that it was time that McGee had a relationship and that was something they definitely addressed in this one, though most of us also agreed that he should have that relationship with Abby and that’s not what happened.
One thing that confused me a little (and maybe one of you fine fans got a handle on it where I didn’t) – why was McGee hesitant? At first I thought he was just being a little gun shy after all the bad luck he’s had in that department but after his brief chat with Abby, I thought maybe he was thinking about her. So when he asked the other girl out in the end, I was more confused than ever.
Not that I disliked the other girl but I guess now I’m starting to understand how the Tiva lovers feel. Why give us little McAbby moments if they aren’t going to lead anywhere? Because that’s one romantic coupling I can totally get behind on this show. Whereas I felt that Tony and Ziva would not work (exactly because of all that flirting they’ve done for years that went nowhere), Abby and McGee somehow feel right to me. Maybe it’s because they already were an item, I’m not sure, but whatever the reason I’m so for those two getting together, which is why I was a little disappointed we didn’t see things going in that direction. Then again, nothing is set in stone so I’m going to wait and see what happens.
My favorite bits..
How quickly the guy said it wasn’t his purse when he saw what was in it. Yuck!
Gibbs going from punching the monitor to beating it with a baseball bat.
Cracking up when Ducky commented that it was a stylish bag and then laughing even harder when Palmer spotted that it was a fake. I did like that Tony complimented him for the nice catch though.
Literally groaning out loud when Ducky their victim had been killed on the rack. Ugh!
McGee claiming that laser tag was too geeky even for him, right before some dude ran up and called him “McGee-minator.” Ha! Another McName and this one wasn’t even from Tony.
Abby’s McGee Defense Fund jar.
OMG I think McGee just may have met his perfect match.
Hmmm..interesting conversation between McGee and Abby about whether or not he had or had not met someone.
McGee assuming that Gibbs would know what “Pong” was. Right generation, but you’d also have to assume the man would have ever been interesting in playing video games. Somehow I don’t think so.
Laughing out loud when the guy asked if he could call Gibbs, Jethro. Ha! As if.
Palmer and Ducky going over the finer points of zombie killing. I’d never heard of the brains leaking out and needing to be killed separately thing. I’m going to have to remember that one.
Loving this bit: McGee: “Who said I was hiding?” Tony: “The guy who’s been working with you for the past seven years.”
Loving this line from Tony: “But there’s taking it easy and then there’s being a dumbass, which is kinda my strong suit.”
Yes! McGee (okay yeah and the rest of the team, too) catching Martin as a murderer. Gotta admit, I never saw that coming and I especially enjoyed the fact that they fooled him into confessing.
Waiting for McGee to realize that it WAS a damn video game and being very happy when he finally did so he could help Gibbs.
The very calm way Gibbs announced: “Hey McGee, you missed one.”
Gibbs’ solution for computer problems actually turning out to be the right one for once.
McGee thanking Tony for the advice.
McGee screaming “don’t shoot!” when he heard Gibbs hollering at his computer again. LOL.
