NCIS Los Angeles ‘Savoir Faire’ Picture Review

UH-OH !!

Sam’s back !!
(Not that he was actually “gone” for an ep… )

“Apparently I’m the only one who’s SMART.” HA haha, GO Kens !!

“I got a beach body.” “That’s debatable.”
(pretty sure Eric actually has a beach body…)

“I’m standing right here.”

“Burpees.” WHAT ?? LOL

Granger’s NOT-joking-face…. *snort*

Ehm, why install cameras when there’s no footage you can use ??

“Play nice.”

“Hetty’s List” lol

Teaching moment… 😉

Cheers !!

"You don't know..." I wasn't aware that Sam only sees his choices as "the truth"...

“You don’t know cars/music/clothes…” I wasn’t aware that Sam only sees his choices as “the truth”…

Nell enjoying the awkwardness…

“She just hung up on me.” Bet that lady is now on “Hetty’s List” as well…

Nell explaining the possible connection…

“24 years old. No girlfriend. Which isn’t unusual in Afghanistan.” Really ?? But outside of A every 24yr-old single is “unusual” ??

Desperately looking for similarities…

Chic chic !! (and I would DEFINITELY look into that blue trunk !!)

“I like you…”

Nice shot, G !!

More focus on Eric & Nell in this ep - I like !!

More focus on Eric, Nell and their work in this ep – I like !!

Partner Swap !!

… and G regretting it already. *snort*

“Whatchu gaaaht?”

Eric, Nell AND Granger… BUSTED !!

Sam “touché-ing” Kensi…

“We’re good.” G’s look… haha…

“I didn’t tell them.” “I know.”

Hetty knows everything.

Sweet little Netty scene there at the end…

Some sweet team scenes, some LOL moments and likeable guest stars… all in all an OK episode me thinks… And you ?? What did you like ?? Or not ?? (Please express your opinion politely…)

NCIS Los Angeles ‘Spiral’ Picture Recap

Look, it’s “Dennis Calder” back from Season 3… huh ??

Jimmy, the mail guy… hihi…

BUSTED !!

Saved by the… ehm… GUNS !!

Negotiating gone bad… and badder…

Don’t underestimate the meditating !! 😀

“It’s Callen.”

For the love of the… SHIRT, I was talking about the shirt… OK, no I wasn’t… 😉

“Who the hell are you?”
“I’m Jimmy, the mail guy.”

Does she seem p*ssed that he didn't notice her ??

Did she seem p*ssed that he didn’t notice her ??

Propaganda posters upside-down ?? Way to go, wanna-be-terrorists !! *snort*

Detonator switch ?? Uh-oh…

I get that it might not be *easy* to rescue the hostages but call all the other help off ?? Mmh…

Hetty’s at lunch in Nicaragua ?? Of course she is !! 😉

“Infiltrate the hostage group.” And show them the hand sign of love…

“Wolfs never linger around sheep for long.”

Wow, blunt Nell kinda overwhelmed our little Eric here, huh ??

Not good… so NOT good !!

I kinda liked that doctor… Now ?? Not so much anymore…

Callen has a lot of identities he doesn’t like anymore by now, huh ?? LOL

NIIICE !!

We all know *that* message, right ?? 🙂

He wanted that specific floor ?? Wondering where that leads us…

“It’s a terrible idea, let’s do that.” But it looks SO COOL !!

Wait ? Was that a Football reference there ??
[The Actor played a Football Coach on GLEE.]

WOW !!

What was *this* supposed to be ??

Close call… But what about this whole Irish thing ?? Aaah…

Now that looks easy… WHAAAT ??

Not sure I would enter a magically opening door into a LAB …

Her again… and picking on Callen’s name right away… 😉

A bio weapon… *gulp*

The team and its confidence in Deeks’ test results… 😉

But he can do it of course !! WOOP WOOP !!

“Trust your training.”

There must be another way than making *that call* !!

Crash Crew on deck !! YEAH !!

KA-CHA-BOOOM !!

Mission over… or… looks anxiously at the remaining time of the ep…

She’s one of the baddies ?? Uh-oh…

Oh my… she’s bad news… like REALLY BAD !!!

NO NO NO !! NOOOOO !!

Yeah, everyone’s secure… *still mutters ‘NO, NO, NO’ and rocks back & forth*

OMG… Sam’s devasted look is killing me…

“I’ve seen the end and this is not it.” Let’s hope Hetty’s right again…

This whole hospital scene is worth sooo many pictures… I especially LOVED the reference that Callen regrets giving up looking for his father…

Group ZEN !!
And off with a smile we go…

Well, well, as always I gotta run… also I think from the amount of pictures you kind of get that I really really liked this episode… 🙂 Let me know what you think about it !! Talk later !!

NCIS Los Angeles ‘Humbug’ Picture Review

“Security in pursuit of a couple of… ehm… Santas.” *snort*

Uh-oh... Joelle held at gunpoint... beware of the Callen revenge...

Uh-oh… Joelle hold at gunpoint… beware of the Callen revenge…

Sam’s not happy about those holiday plans…

“And be totally honest with her.” Why do I sense that this remark will bite Callen soon ?? 😉

Malware – the terrorism of the internet…

Squeeing over this comforting gesture here…

Dress shirt + a tie = safe gift of choice for Joelle

“The guy put a gun to Jo’s head, Sam. I wanna have a little *talk* with him about that.” Uh-oh… told ya !!

So the baddie escaped… might be better for him…considering Callen’s mood…

Creating the bad to fight the bad…

“It’s the stuff of nightmares.” His words plus the music was so overly dramatic it was awesome !!

“… maybe… you… wanna come home with me.” Zoossh !!

They are going snowboarding together… and the whole Densi fandom is high-fiving each other !! 😉

So this guy doesn’t like Rex anymore…

I could hardly pay attention to the scene cos I was so amused by the dying alarm of the car… Great job there, dear sound department !!

Maybe finding a *body* would have been better afterall…

This guy hitting on Kensi?? Creepy good !!

Finding out that Joelle might have the thumb drive…

“Boyfriend Callen” going all in to find the thumb drive.

“You have no idea how scary it is having someone holding a gun on you.” Yeah, about that… LOL

So the trip… Personal or Practical ?? Wait, I bet I know your answer… 😉

Hetty + Sam = HI-LA-RI-OUS !!!

Oh, *thaaaat* was nothing…

“Who are you?” Oh, believe me, Jo, there’s not enough time to answer that now…

Let me recap… Callen had a gun, this lock-pick thingy and handcuffs on him which Joelle didn’t notice when they slow-danced… Hands up if YOU would have noticed !! *evilgrin*

Great scene to get behind the meaning of the episode title !!

Will Eric remember what she said or is his camera a hidden Neutralyzer ?? *smirk*

Granger is BAAACK !!

Their sweet smiles were even better than the kiss(es) IMO…

Proud daddy Sam…

"How abot we start with your first name?" Yeah, good luck with that... :-)

“How about we start with your first name?” Yeah, good luck with that… 🙂

As always I gotta run but I’m curious what you all think about this episode…. Let’s talk in the comments… I’ll join you later !!

This was the last episode for 2014. Thank you all for your support of the NCISLA Magazine website/twitter/Facebook and especially my picture reviews which are very precious to me. See you back in 2015 with more episode of our favorite show to talk about. Until then…

HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!

NCIS Los Angeles ‘Reign Fall’ Picture Review

If it’s not Joey Wilson’s ep starting with a BOOM! then who’s ?? 🙂

What did Sam dress as at Disney ?? And the bromance for the ep begins… 🙂

“Whistling Eric” is back…

Aah, *there* is the NCIS connection…

"We git it." Yeah, Kensi seems to be a fan.

“We got it.” Yeah, Kensi seems to be a fan.

So “Marty Mar” knows the Basketball Hunk…

Sweet Kip-Deeks-Kensi Scene !!

For the NERIC fans !!

Wow, that kid…

Lucky them that Nell consulted on this other similar case… [/sarcasm]

Yeah, let's send Johnson out as bait !! [Sorry for all the sarcasm today...]

Yeah, let’s send Johnson send out as bait !! [Sorry for all the sarcasm today…]

Callen is right, at least Sam’s father was *there*.

Ah, so with the step-mother the kid is somewhat normal…

Nice tackle, Callen.

Great casting with this guy IMO !!
And nice how they tricked him into slipping up…

Mummy is worried about her little boy...

Mommy is worried about her little boy…

I thought Deeks was overly aggressive with this guy. Your thoughts ??

Awesomely distrubed family. [Geez, what's with me today that I love that so much...]

Awesomely disturbed family. [Geez, what’s with me today that I love that so much…]

Shoot-out with Callen and Sam ?? Yeah, good luck with that, boy !! 😉

Um, maybe Callen & Sam could back off a tad, please ??!!

Klick !!

More BOOM!

Water’s “perfect”… *smirk*

Sam and his dad. Aww !!

Ooh, the resemblance… *snort*

Sam calling his dad… More aww !!

Well, well, I’m curious what you all think of this episode… it definitely had its share of BOOM! and action… nice (even though rare) Densi and Bromance scenes… smoochy Neric… little Hetty, no Granger (his absence was addressed but cut out due to lack of time according to a tweet by writer Joey Wilson)… What else ??

EDIT: Since I’m an annoyingly nosy little fan 🙂 I asked Joey Wilson if Deeks’ “harshness” was planted… here’s what he answered:

The harsh interrogation tactics were a show to prompt the mom to give up the other brother. Due to issues I can’t get into – it came off as Deeks being a little harsh which he wouldn’t do.

NCIS Los Angeles ‘Traitor’ Picture Review

Oh boy…

Ah-HAA !!

He just said the L-word…

*shock*

How to explain this ?? (And I don’t mean the squee-worthy syncness here…)

Hetty doing her “thing”… LOL

Great Brit impression there, Beale.

She called him Eric! Aww!

Wow, creepy Granger !!

“You work with him but you don’t really know anything about him?”

“You look like you’re ready to kill somebody.” “I am!”

I would have skipped this one if it wasn’t a spot-on impersonation of hubby and me… TMI ?? Sorry… 😉

Wolfsbane against Werewolfes… I mean *everyone* knows that, right ??

Why give Kensi a poisonous plant ?? Why give her a plant at all ?? Considerung her luck with them… LOL

Anybody else thought Hetty had a creepy intimate way with the Wolfsbane ??

“We have a mole in our midst. And it ends today!”

Really? ‘Too much’ for my liking… so was the slap IMO…

Interesting to see that Callen & Sam obviously did talk about Granger and his behaviour lately…

Hetty developed most of the polygraph questions?? No wonder there, huh? 😉

“I even tried to kill him.” Flashback please ??

Wow, that was unexpected…

Beale on lock-down…

Kensi & Deeks going all CSI on the victim…

“He’s smelling her hair…” Yeah, not creepy at all… LOL

“Don’t ever smell me again.” “No promises.” Awesome #Densi !!

“Maybe Helen had a Green Thumb afterall.”

Suspicious much, Ty ??

Only for like 10 seconds cos now we know the real killer already…

Heyyyy, don’t you lay a hand on OUR Eric, creep !!

Callen & Sam Banter fits right in here…

Eric finding a way out… and tipping Nell off…

NOOO !!

Callen’s right – the guy does look kind of happy… #Weird

Yeah, *we all know* Callen & Sam are way too smart to be played…

“You look better without ’em.” Yeah, well, not IMO but…

Anybody else squeed that Callen (!!) got the cue ??

Hetty watching over Granger…

Well, to me the episode wasn’t as thrilling as the promos wanted me to think it is… but then again I learned not to trust the promos anyways in the last six years… LOL

What do you think about the episode ?? Was this a convincing continuation of the “mole storyline” for you ?? I think (read: hope) we’ll come back to it later in the season and learn who the guy worked for…
