NCIS: Secrets


Woo hoo!  Episode 201!  We are on our way now aren't we!?  It was back to business for NCIS Tuesday night as a new episode entitled Secrets was aired and as with most NCIS episodes this was multi-layered.  Between the secret identities of some and the secrets others were keeping hidden from friends this was an episode to remember.  The main secrets of the episode (besides the case that no one cares about anyway) was that of one Very Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo.  His ex-fiance Wendy returned.  This girl is one fiesty creature.  A Journalist who does whatever it takes to get her story it is unclear why Wendy is back.  Everyone on the team is curious however, especially one Ziva David.  When she meets Wendy there is definitely some looks that transpire, especially from Ziva's end.  So let's go through this.  I'll begin with the Tiva scenes and then talk about some fun stuff about the case.

Castle: Meet the first Nikki


There is nothing I like more in this whole world of television (except a great Tiva sexual tension moment of course) than a Castle two parter!  It began back in season 2 with Tick Tick Tick and Boom!  I mean they blew up Beckett's apartment!  Then season 3 had a two parter that made Beckett and Castle realize some very important aspects of their relationship.  They almost froze to death in each others arms and almost got blown up!  So history tells us they don't take their two parters lightly.  It helps that they always have a great guest star in these episodes.  This one began no different.

NCIS - Life would have been worse for everyone!


Cote de Pablo (L-R) Actors Brian Dietzen, David McCallum, Pauley Perrette, Mark Harmon, Sean Murray (backrow)Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly pose at CBS' "NCIS" celebration of thier 200th episode on January 3, 2012 in Valencia, California.Well that is it.  NCIS has officially broken the 200 episode barrier.  We've seen everything it seems over the years.  Team members have experienced betrayal, love, anger, rescue, regret, and even at times death.  It's been a roller coster for those of us who have followed every episode from the start Yankee White then the real start of Kill Ari and made it to this point: Life Before His Eyes.  This episode took everything in and made something of it.

Let's face it.  The main character of this show is Very Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.  He is the spine of the team.  Without him they are jellyfish.  I think we've all felt that connection to Gibbs as we've seen him lose loved ones, kill enemies, and grow into the father he is to this team.  While we (especially me) lose track of him, getting involved in other characters stories it is important to bring him back to the front.  This episode took all the pieces of Gibbs and put them into an order that really meant something.  I want to go through those chronologically and talk about why they were meaningful in the episode.

Where is your Hart?

No new NCIS OR Castle this week?  What is a girl to do??  Well luckily I'm a woman of many loves in the television world so I decided to post on another show that has captured my eyes and my Hart.  I know what you're thinking right now.  Why did Emily just spell heart wrong.  Well . . . let's get into that.

Over Christmas while I was NCIS marathoning with our cousin Erin she mentioned a new show she was watching called "Hart of Dixie".  She mentioned it had Rachel Bilson from the OC (among other guest roles How I Met Your Mother, Chuck , etc.) and some very attractive men.  So I put it on the back-burner.  Then over the weekend I began watching.  And watching and watching until I was caught up about 48 hours later.  Here's the deal.
