NCIS: "Caged" 1/6 - Grading & Discussion

[Aragorn]

Spoiler: Caged

The NCIS team must reveal the truth behind the murder of a jail guard which resulted in a prison riot and McGee being held captive by the inmates.

 

[Arthur Frelling Dent]

Oh wow, Summer School. I actually saw that in the theater!

 

[CommodoreKong]

I didn't know we were getting a new episode tonight. I'll have to watch it on CBS's website.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Martha Hackett (Seska) is sure looking old. Maybe the Cardassian makeup helped age her face. It was cool to see 2 Star Trek guest stars on this episode. Stephanie Niznik was the Trill helmswoman in Insurrection.

 

[Aragorn]

At first I wasn't prepared to like it. But I warmed up to it more even though it went exactly where I thought it would. I either expected her to be their No. 1 ally on the inside, or she'd take the fall for someone else.

 

[JAG]

Very good episode. I did not realize that, that was Seska till you just mentioned it.

 

[Finn]

The first thing I thought when I saw summer school was how much Harmon looked like Weatherly.

 

[firehawk12]

Seriously, they should just have them all quit and join the NYPD or something... at least they wouldn't have to keep pretending that these guys are investigating Navy/Marine related cases.

 

[Finn]

^Uh, they weren't. McGee was there to talk with a suspect who was believed to have killed a Navy officer when all hell broke out.

 

[firehawk12]

Yes, I know. Hence the "pretending to investigate Navy" thing. They're at a point where they don't even have people in uniform walking around now.

This was the first time in a long time that I didn't figure it out in the beginning, but I was pleasantly surprised by the ending.

Above Average

Awwwwwwwwwwww. So cute when he was young.

Although, I do think he looks much sexier now.

Great episode. I thought McGee handled himself fairly well.

I loved the ending. DiNozzo, "Wow, who'd have thought McGee would grow a pair in a women's prison?"

That's because they're all dead.

 

[JiNX-01]

Really enjoyed this one. Loved seeing McGee get taken seriously. Didn't care much for the stereotypical "warden's a jackass" thing, but otherwise, I really liked it. And of course, having everybody look the other way when the "killer" confessed ... interesting.

It's weird isn't it? JAG showed that all Navy/Marine personnel are criminals and now NCIS shows that they're all murder victims!

 

[Skywalker]

And in the inevitable post-NCIS spinoff set in a Navy hospital, all sailors and Marines will be victims of horrible sicknesses and injuries!

But the murderer usually is in the military, too. They're really trying to knock out the whole navy.

 

[Arthur Frelling Dent]

If my memory serves me correctly, for the first season or two of JAG, when they were trying really hard to please the Navy in return for its support, the plots usually involved someone in the Navy or Marines accused of a crime but who turned out to be the innocent victim of a misunderstanding, freak accident or an evil contractor, civilian, spouse, etc. No military personnel ever did anything illegal!

Yeah, that sounds familiar to me too.

I generally hate prison shows but this one was pretty good. Our Tim grew... up.
