« Saving the World One TV Show At A Time
NCIS and Cane
Before I get to last night's shows, I wanted to say to those of you who watch Journeyman, Monday's episode was awesome. Not so much on the mission of the week, but with the amount of background information we got. I was very pleased with all of it, and I still think the Professor is behind all of this. And, Dan's brother Jack may come around after all. We'll see. I know I don't blog about that show, but I just had to tell y'all how great it was.
NCIS:
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but my favorite line was at the very top of the show when the Navy Admiral told the guy on the phone to use his laser pointer because "GAO guys are distracted by shiny things." LOVE IT!! Only because it's so true. My other favorite line was when McGee told DiNozzo to "just push the buttons I tell you to push, monkey."
From the get-go I knew that the cab driver was the real target, and I don't know about y'all but I wasn't too trusting of the professor from the first time they met him at the restaurant. I don't know that I figured he was the one in charge of all of it, but he definitely struck me as someone who knew more than he was telling. It was so very sad at the end when Sayda finally found her Thomas only to discover that he had remarried and had a child because he thought she had been killed in their native country. He was her soulmate, but Thomas didn't think he had anything to hope for. Come to America and lose your hope...now there's a slogan for the brochures.
I didn't much care for the look on Ziva's face at the end of the episode when Tony walked by her. Earlier in the episode, Sayda had told her that she would know her soulmate when she met him. That look on Ziva's face was as if she was considering/recognizing Tony as such. Perhaps one good thing can come from the writer's strike...perhaps they won't have time to build that love story. 
On a different note, I'm not sure which is scarier: Abby on Caf-Pow or Abby off Caf-Pow with no real change in her energy level until oh I don't know several days later.
Cane:
This week we learned that the in over-your-headedness stretches to Frank as well with his gambling debts. $500k to a bookie who took his Ferrari and considered taking his boat until Alex bailed him out and got him in with the gangster's bookies. Oh yeah...the Duque family is definitely in trouble. However, I did agree with Alex's decision to have all of Frank's expenses run through him especially if he's betting on Miami Dolphins games. Besides, the last thing Duque needs is embezzlement or laundering charge since now Joe Samuels has passed his guilt off to his daughter.
Hey, Ellis...your father didn't just throw you under the bus. He threw you right in front of the darn thing. I actually felt sorry for her in this episode, but I'm intrigued by the last scene between her and Alex. Alex has known since he was a teenager that Samuels had Lucia killed. Did Alex really get involved with Ellis after that? Hmm...As for Alex, I really want to believe that his deal with Ramon will be good, but nothing good ever comes from making deals with gangsters.
On the Henry/Terry front, I have to say, I actually like those two together. She's really nothing like anyone I would put with him, but I love her playing hard to get and him generally sticking up for himself. I'll be interested to see how these two play each other in the coming episodes.
Thoughts on either of these episodes?

NCIS: The only thing I'll comment on here since I pretty much said it all in my own post is this:
Isn't a decaf caf-pow an oxymoron?
