Yet another episode, another episode where there was a crucial aspect, it being obvious, and I didn't even consider it. I'm super surprised that particular topic was "tackled" in an episode that premiered in 2004: and the other topic in the previous episode. But it wasn't necessarily tackled, which is why I used quotation marks. Plenty of people would consider it super problematic, and that makes sense.
In my review for the previous episode, I theorized that Pacci's cold case could have something to do with the terrorist. We know now that it didn't. I wasn't expecting it to, anyway. But the end of the season is closing in. Something is bound to happen soon regarding that.
Another episode, another McGee appearance, showing up again. That makes me think/gives me the impression that the showrunner(s)/producer(s) were planning to make him a Season Regular from the beginning. I wasn't 100% sure before. I guess the fact that Donald P. Bellisario and Sean Murray are related was a factor. It would've been cool if David Ramsey's NCIS Agent Richard Owens from the fifth episode also became a Season Regular.
The two cuts/transitions were pretty nice: the flashback of Pacci's camera falling, then cutting to it being held, along with Tony, throwing the paper wrap into the garbage can, then cutting to Ducky throwing something into a garbage can.
I liked the assumption by the building manager that Gibbs and Tony were together. Honestly, that would be cool to see at some point: as in, both of them having to go undercover or something like that, pretending to be a couple, including getting real into character. That would be super entertaining. I'm 99% it'll never happen/has never happened throughout the entire show, but it would be cool if it did.
I'm pretty sure there was a previous instance or instances in this season where Tony wasn't that knowledgeable regarding films. Well, he somewhat was, I guess. But now, he's churning out references left and right, while McGee is the clueless one. I found that super interesting. Character growth, people! I mean, I'm like McGee in this context/Tony in the past, but we love to see it!
Overall, there isn't much to say for this episode's review. I thought this episode was pretty decent. It was better than the previous episode, for sure.
