Taking A Break For The Holidays.

In my last post I mentioned that Abby's Web will be continuing which is still true.

However, since it is the end of the semester and the holiday season I will be taking a small break for a couple of weeks. The break will start Monday December 21st and go until January 10th 2010. During that time I will be getting ready for Christmas as well as going out of town.

For all of you Abby's Web readers don't you worry, I will be back. I am just taking a break for the Holidays. So until then I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and please stay tuned.

Carrying On My Passion For NCIS.

It's that time of year when college students are finishing up their semesters at school. Being a college student that goes for me also.

Now, I know what you're thinking: does that mean that Abby's Web is going to end? Well the answer is no. Abby's Web will continue on.

I have enjoyed sharing my passion for NCIS with you, and I look forward to continuing that relationship with you my readers, and maybe get some new readers.

So if you know anyone who is a fan of NCIS, and they want to have a place where they can share their love of the show, send them here to get caught in Abby's Web.

For The Love Of Abby Sciuto: Link Round Up.

When you think of NCIS, you can't help but think of the forensic scientist Abby Sciuto. She is played by actress Pauley Perrette. Now, the question is: why do fans love Abby? Is it because of her Goth look, her lovable nature, or perhaps the way that she is always sticking up for her friends and family? I think it's all of the above.

As a fan of the show, and a fan of Abby's, I can personally say that I love the way that she dresses. In a previous post, I talked about how I went to a Halloween party as Abby. I'm not the only one who likes to dress up as Abby, and if a fan wants to dress the way that she does they're in luck. They can purchase her style. That's right: Pauley Perrette and Rachel Good, the show's costume designer, made sure that her style would be available to fans of the show.

Her style is not the only thing that fans of the show love. It is because of the way that she would do anything and everything to help someone out if they were in trouble. I think that it's also the way that she is the complete opposite of the typical gothic person. I mean she is funny, she is upbeat, and she is quirky. I think that another reason why fans love Abby is because she is such relatable character.

When I watch her on the show, I can relate to her. I mean, it's not the fact that she is a forensic scientist that I can relate to, but I can relate to the way that she is always wanting to protect and do things for her team- mates.

In terms of helping people, I always want to help people in any way that I can. Like Abby, I try to be there and comfort my friends whenever they need it. I can also relate to the way that she wants everyone to be happy. The reason for that is because I always want people to be happy. So I guess I can see a part of myself in her.

Presidential Address Leads To An NCIS Re-Run.

Watching NCIS is a constant of mine, it is a part of my weekly routine. It is so much a part of my routine that if I don't watch it my week is all off. I know that might seem crazy to some, it's just that when I watch the show it makes everything seem right with the world.

Now, you may be thinking why am I bringing this up? The reason is because there wasn't a new episode on this week, but a re-run because of the presidential address. It was also on at 9:00 instead of 8:00. Now, don't get me wrong I like hearing what the president has to say about the important issues, it's just--please don't do it during my show--. I wish they had done the address on a different night.

I guess the thing of it is that it was such a surprise to me. I was expecting to see a new episode of the show this past Tuesday, with new witty remarks and nick names that Tony has for McGee. I was looking forward to seeing the head slaps from Gibbs, and what come back Ziva would have for Tony. I also wanted to see Abby. I was surprised when I was all ready for the show, and it didn't. I have to be honest, I wasn't happy.

I would have much rather been watching a new episode of NCIS. Watching that new episode on Tuesdays is a time for me to relax and unwind, it's me time. This might sound crazy, but not seeing a new episode this week has me feeling like "Oh no I need my me time." I needed my NCIS fix. I still do, so I am anxiously waiting next Tuesday's episode.

Please CBS don't let me down.

Tony Dinozzo's Movie Reference's: Link Round-Up.

(Image via rose-ncis.skyrock.com)

There are many things that fans love about Tony Dinozzo on NCIS. One of the things that I love about him, besides his being cute, and quirky, is how much of a movie buff he is. I think the reason that I love that quality is because I love movies myself.

The movie references that Tony makes often connect to his real life. In the second season in the episode titled "SWAK" Tony contracts the plague when he opens an envelope sent to NCIS. When he gets the virus, he is then put in isolation. While in isolation, he references the movie "Boy In The Plastic Bubble." In doing so, he tells Kate (a former agent) how he feels like the character that John Travolta plays in that movie.

Although Tony is the show's movie buff, he is not the only one who makes movie references in the show. In an episode in the third season called "Honor Code," there is an Austin Powers reference made by Gibbs. He is talking to Abby and she is saying how the kid in that episode is like Gibbs when he was younger, and Gibbs then replies "Are you saying Zack is a mini-me?" I thought that was awesome.

On an interesting "insiders" note, two television shows that Tony loves to reference are Magnum P.I and Airwolf. I find that to be really ironic because those two shows are produced by Donald Bellisario, who is the executive producer of NCIS.

Besides his movie references, he also likes to do impressions of his favorite characters and actors from his favorite movies. There are impressions that Tony does of characters that he likes. One impression that he does is of Sean Connery as James Bond.  

I love how movies and television imitate life; or rather what we want our life to be. I think one of the reasons that Tony references these movies is not only because he is a fan of them, but also because he as an image of the perfect life. It seems as though he watches those movies to attain that image.

Live On NCIS.

9:02: So ends another fantastic episode of NCIS. I hope you enjoyed my live-blogging with you.

8:59: After saying that they could not make it to Ducky's house for thanksgiving, the team is there enjoying a nice thanksgiving dinner. Yes, Gibbs brought the rolls.

8:55: After talking to Angela's mother, Ziva, and Gibbs see Angela run into her house where her mother is. Here comes the twist, the teacher Norvel that Angela was seen with in the first couple of scenes, turns out to be the killer. I love the twists in the show.

8:53: Upon finding out that Angela is missing, Gibbs interrogates Angela's mother about using the kids at the think tank to make money, by selling military secrets. Yes, I knew it, Angela's mother is guilty.

8:46: Angela is gone, she asks Ducky and Ziva what there is to do at Ducky's house. She goes to the library. Ducky calls for a hand to help with turkey, she is gone.

8:44: Playing a game of checkers, Gibbs talks to Angela about the military secrets. He asks her questions about the jamming signals in her art work.

8:40: Is Angela to blame?

8:39: Looking at the jamming signal's image in the main squad room, Tony tries to make sense of it. Gibbs comes by and slaps Tony on the back of the head. I love when Gibbs slaps Tony.

8:36: Is Angela's mother in on it?

8:35: Strange, have not yet seen Ray Mabus.

8:34: In Abby's Lab, Gibbs discovers that Angela was hiding military secrets in her drawings. I knew something was up with her.

8:31: Eddy the fellow gang member returns and talks to Dinozzo. He talks to him about why he was talking with the dead marine. He said that he was talking to him for advice.

8:25: Gibbs goes to Ducky's office. Talking about the crime Ducky takes a turkey out of the freezers. That's kind of creepy.

8:23: Yaaaay, it's Abby. Seeing Gibbs she say's "what can I do for you Giblet?" Love it.

8:21: Gibbs is talking to Angela, the girl that was close to the dead marine. He takes her in to custody for safe keeping.

8:20: After going through the dead marines phone records, Tony question's Eddy. He is a member of the gang that the dead marine was in

8:16: In the middle of talking to Angela, Gibbs gets a call. He goes to a car that has been abandoned and is seen as the crime scene.

8:15: Angela, a young girl who works at the think tank is asked about her relationship with the dead marine.

8:10: The team goes to a government think tank, where the dead marine works. The room that they enter is full of children playing video games.

8:07: It was awesome seeing Ducky hand out Thanksgiving invitations to the team. While Tony calls McGee "McTim." Gibbs comes in and say's: "dead marine in a corn field."

8:06: The show opens with two kids running through a corn field. They stop at a scare crow, they see blood driping from the scare crow. They remove the mask and find a body.

8:00: NCIS is starting! 

In tonight's episode of NCIS titled "Child's Play," sources say that Ray Mabus will grace us with his presence. I wonder who he will be playing? I am anxious to see what new name Tony has for McGee. I am also curious to see the tension between Ziva and Tony. For the next hour I will be live-blogging the show, as well as sharing my comment's with you. I hope you enjoy.

Guess Whose Guest Starring On NCIS: Link Round-Up.

With hit shows there are individuals that are brought in to play a specific character. Those characters might not be regulars on the show. Those individuals are said to be making a cameo, or guest starring. Since Ray Mabus will be guest starring on NCIS, I thought that it would be fun to see who else will be showing up at NCIS in the near future.

On the 15th of December in an episode titled "Faith," there will be several big name guests on the show. The first of the guest stars will be actor Joe Regalbuto. He will be making an appearance on the show as a reverend grieving over the death of his son. Now, if you don't recognize the name on its own, you might remember the name Frank Fontana, from the long running television show "Murphy Brown." I think that is really cool, I watched the show all the time when I was younger.

Another actor who is going to be in the December 15th episode of NCIS is Corey Reynolds. He has a role on the hit series "The Closer." Reynolds will be playing the role of a navy chaplain who will be helping Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ziva, Abby and Ducky during their investigation. I love how he portrays his character David Gabriel on his show. I am looking forward to seeing what he brings to his character on NCIS. As a fan, it is awesome to see an actor from one criminal investigation show come in and help out another. Making a re-appearance as Gibbs's father: Ralph Waite will be visiting NCIS in that episode as well.

In addition, the next episode that is going to have an awesome guest appearance is the 150th episode of the show. That episode will air on January 10th 2010. In that episode actor Robert Wagner is going to be making a guest appearance. He will be playing Tony Dinozzo's father. It is my opinion that he is the best person for the job. I feel this way because in 2004 Michael Weatherly played Robert Wagner in the television movie The Mystery of Natalie Wood.

In conclusion, it is my belief that the diversity of talents scheduled to appear in the future, will bring a significant amount of success and entertainment value to an already successful show.
