Welcome to my first Week(ly) Review… this will be a little overview of what has happened in the last week – in the NCISLA World… here and there I’ll add my very own opinion… feel free to agree or disagree in the comment section… 😉
MONDAY (2/25)
According to experience we don’t get many news on Mondays so I decide to start the poll “Which of these deceased NCISLA Characters do you miss the most ??”. People can vote between Dom, Renko, Comescu & Hunter – really curious how the voting will be…
Daniela Ruah spreads the news that she’ll be in the theatre play “PROOF” in April/May. I so wish I could go and see this – hopefully I’m lucky next time I’m in LA and one of the cast will be in some kind of play or concert.
I knew it… just when I was about to end the day the sneak peek for tomorrow’s episode is released. So Kensi doesn’t want to go to that seminar with Deeks ?? It should be interesting how she gets out of this…
TUESDAY (2/26)
Snoop Dogg posts a picture of himself and LL Cool J. Wondering if they work on LLs new album or if this was just a random meeting.
CBS teases us with a picture of Chris O’Donnell directing next week’s episode “Wanted”. It’s awesome to see him outside his usual character –wearing glasses and giving orders to his fellow actors…
Larry Teng tweets he’ll be directing another NCISLA episode that will be filmed in April. Can’ wait to hear who he’ll be paired up with as writer for this one. Dave Kalstein & Larry Teng on “Kill House” were definitely a great team !!
Oh yeah, we get another sneak peek for “Lokhay”… this time via ET Online… this one shows what the press release already indicated… that Sam is personally involved in this case… even G is concerned that Sam is too deep in this one…
February is almost over so I put the new desktop calendar out… thanks to our talented readers @Ttelle70 and @NCISLAfan4ever we have two this month – one “Sam&Callen”-centric and one “Team/Irish”-themed…
WEDNESDAY (2/27)
Since I’m located in Europe WEDNESDAY is my happy day because I get to watch the new episodes of “NCISLA”. This time I get up early to live tweet with director Diana Valentine and writer Joe Wilson.
I won’t review the episode here since this was so wonderfully done my Phillydi already… so go and check her review… 😉
Just two things:
BEST.CAR.CHASE.EVER
Best Twitter tags I found after this ep: #WetCallen & #MagicMarty
Since there will be a new episode next week we get a new promo as well. Wow, this looks like an intense episode for Sam again… though we (and Callen) get to chuckle when Michelle almost hits him with the vase the last frame hints to a shooting in which Quinn could be involved… but then again… have we ever seen what *really* happens in the promo already ?? nope… at least not when characters die… so I guess this is yet again a great compilation of different scenes that make it look all #WillTheyOrWontThey…
Our interview this week is with Cas Anvar who played the Ambassador (Habib) in “Lokhay”… I like those interviews a lot as we get to know the actors that we usually don’t pay that much attention to…
THURSDAY (2/28)
New Insider Blog on cbs.com. How come they call it a “scoop” ?? There were NO NEWS in this one. @KBarkerTweets tweet “Back on #NCISLA today. Started off w a laugh – great scene between @chrisodonnell & @llcoolj #lovedramaswithcomedy” was more “news” since she was talking about the opening scene of one of the “Red” episodes…
FRIDAY (3/1)
I’m really missing the cast & crew on Twitter… from their remarks it looks like they can’t share things during the filming of the two crossover episode “Red”… is it March 19th and 26th yet ?? They put so much effort in those two episodes… I mean they always do but I’ve never heard them work such long hours, over-nighters & even weekends…
Wow, thank you for staying with me so far. It’s been fun to go through the week again and add my thoughts here and there. I hope you enjoyed this ride with me !!
Let me know if you think I should continue doing a Week(ly) Review or not… 🙂
CU sindee
In the backdoor pilot episode of NCIS: LA, our merry band of agents meet the NCIS: Red team when a Marine’s murder in Idaho bears a striking resemblance to that of a suspected terrorist in Los Angeles.
NCIS: Red revolves around a mobile team of agents forced to live and work together as they crisscross the country solving crimes.
The backdoor pilot will air on March 19th and 26th as NCIS: LA episodes. Both episodes were written by Shane Brennan. NCISLA episode “Red” (4×18) will be directed by Tony Wharmby.
After NCISLA (of NCIS) and NCIS (of JAG) it will be the third Spin-Off in the “NCIS Universe”…
Kim Raver as Paris (NCIS:Red)
Paris:
This Special Agent is a twice-divorced badass who is as sexy as she is tough and as smart as she is sexy. In other words, she is formidable on just about every level. Her one weakness? Though she’s part of a team, she works best when she works alone. Paris has a Degree in Forensic Science, can drive a golf ball 300 yards and has a brain snapping IQ in the 98th percentile.
Kim Raver (@kimraver) is known for her roles in e.g. Grey’s Anatomy and 24 and her latest recurring role on NBC’s Revolution.
John Corbett as Roy Quaid (NCIS:Red)
Roy Quaid:
Though he is (not-at-all-willingly) retired from active duty, this former Special Agent is still employed as the group’s Operations Manager. However, it’s widely acknowledged that he is nonetheless their shrewdest investigator.
John Corbett (@realjohncorbett) is known for his roles in e.g. Northern Exposure, Sex and the City and the United States of Tara.
Scott Grimes as Dave (NCIS:Red)
Dave:
The team’s forensic specialist (and resident oddball) is an ex-NYPD detective who has a little skill at a lotta things. Except driving. Apparently, at that, he has no skill whatsoever! He has an eye for clues and a nose for lies.
Scott Grimes (@scottgrimes) is known for his roles in e.g. ER, American Dad and an episode of the flagship NCIS drama.
Gilian Alexy as Claire (NCIS:Red)
Claire:
She graduated at the top of her class at Harvard and is described as “educated, worldly, athletic and as tough as she is beautiful.” She has trained with the Navy SEALs, lived with a British SAS soldier and loves all things military, with a strong passion for photography, inherited from her war correspondent father. Though she views herself as a tomboy, the world sees her as a stunningly attractive woman.
Gilian Alexy is best known for her role on Damages.
Edwin Hodge as Kai Ashe (NCIS:Red)
Kai Ashe:
The group’s young IT guy apparently is so bright — thanks, MIT! — he doesn’t just say “Did you try rebooting?” No wonder they all love him like a kid brother.
Edwin Hodge (@edwinhodge) is best known for his role on WB’s Jack & Bobby, he also recurred on Cougar Town as Busy Phillips’ love interest.
Miguel Ferrer as Assistant Director Owen Granger (NCISLA / NCIS:Red)
NCIS: LA’s Miguel Ferrer will reprise his role as NCIS assistant director Owen Granger.
Come back later this week when Phillydi will share her own thoughts about the Spin-Off in her newest column “In The Bullpen“.
