Patriot Acts (3×20) review by @phillydi DENSI style – NEW w/ bromance moments

This is an exciting episode for me with one of my favorite characters returning to the Mission and his old teammates after a way too long (!) hiatus. Welcome back Peter Cambor! Our favorite Psych Ops was definitely missed! I often speculated if Nate was shuffled off to the Middle East (or where ever he was hiding out) because there was a little too much testosterone going on in the bullpen, especially with the addition of Deeks. But whatever the reason, I’m glad he’s back even if on an interim basis. Tonight Nate gets to use his psych powers not only to play an integral part in this week’s investigation but also to discover that there’s a new shipper relationship going on in Ops with Nell and Eric. (Maybe I should add a Nell/Eric Watch, eh?) Ever since season two in Lockup, when Nate acknowledges that he and Nell have know each other in a past life, fans have been speculating on just what the nature of their relationship could be. Tonight we get to find out.

Vengeance (3×19) review by @phillydi DENSI style

As season three begins its race to the grand finale, we have a Sam-centric episode entitle – Vengeance. Writer Frank Military has been very prolific this year with his fourth script of the season, and it’s always good to see James Whitmore, Jr. behind the camera. Whenever I watch Human Traffic (2:1) I appreciate his directing skills more and more. It remains one of my all time favorite episodes to this day.

Go back to season one and you’ll find Sam interrogating a group of Navy Seals in The Only Easy Day (1:2). In Vengeance it’s another close-knit Seal team who are accused of the murder of a Navy Intel Officer. Once again, Sam goes in to cross-examine the team.

Vengeance (3×19) review by @mokibobolink for @tvequals

In this episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, called “Vengeance,” the team has a task before them that I did not envy for one second. Starting out as almost any normal case, they are out to find out who murdered an ensign and put his body in a testing range for explosive, but what happens after that is anything but ordinary and starts to pull the group apart. Turns out that the suspects in the crime are the man’s unit, a team of SEALs that are set to leave for a very important rescue mission – a mission that only they have the knowledge and skill to complete.

This is where things get tough. Like “rock and a hard place” kind of tough. Our people must investigate the murder because that’s what they do, but at the same time they know that delaying the team means putting innocent lives in danger. No one is in a more difficult position than Sam. As Kensi put it at one point, Sam is forced to investigate his “family” and it’s not easy. Callen doesn’t want to give the men any special treatment but nor is he immune to the fact that there are lives depending on those men.

The Dragon and the Fairytale (3×18) review by @mokibobolink for @tvequals

Tonight’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, called “The Dragon and the Fairy” starts with a young man getting himself shot while trying to run away from some mysterious men in an equally mysterious black car. I assumed that said young man would be a murder for the team to investigate but I was wrong. Instead he leads them to a ring of criminals running a sweat shop, as well as a man who’s planning some terrorist acts. Pretty impressive coming from a simple kid who can’t even speak English. But even though the team caught all the bad guys there were to be caught, I think my favorite thing they did in this one was to reunite an entire family, all three generations.

The Dragon and the Fairytale (3×18) review by @phillydi DENSI-style

Hi gang! Welcome back to NCISLA Rewind. It’s been a long two weeks, and if you are like me, you were biting at the bit to get to watch a whole new adventure with our favorite NCIS team. Tonight’s episode, The Dragon and the Fairy sounds like the whimsical title for the next book from the Chronicles of Narnia series. Except we know better, don’t we?! Written by Joe Sachs (Higher Power) and directed by Tony Wharmby (Special Delivery), the team’s mission is to stake out a possible terrorist attack at an international conference to be attended by the Secretary of the Navy.

The show starts off with a suspicious attack on a Vietnamese immigrant worker from the garment district. He’s not talking and the team suspects his fear is hiding a dirty and horrifying secret…. Human trafficking. As they continue their investigation they find a sweat shop operating in LA that supports a terrorist cell trying to discredit a pro-democracy group that has been speaking out against the Vietnamese government and exposing injustice. The team is intent on revealing the ties that the sweat shop has to the terrorist group and then stopping them from planning the attack at the conference.
