But, I didn't want to let down any NCIS fanatics like Mary and her mother, so I remembered my post from Monday, and decided I could check out the show online.
It was great watching it on the internet because it cut out about 15 minutes of commercial breaks. I could pause it when needed and return to it at my own leisure.
The show started out Army vs. Navy. Two guys, one called Army and the other Navy were running for exercise when they stumbled across an abandoned car and a dead dude in a tie. He would later become known as the doctor responsible for brainwashing little girls into becoming hardcore assassins.
His death was described as a rather torturous act. He was shot in just the right places that he didn't die right away but was forced to suffer. I was intrigued.
Is any of this true? Can people really get shot in a certain place and die a torturous death?
It doesn't really matter. The show had me hooked it was almost like watching Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill with skilled female assassins tracking down their prey and killing them.

Again, in Monday's post, I asked the question, "Do you think NCIS is funny?" After seeing an episode, my answer is definitely, "I do." The show had quite a bit of humor thrown into it despite the serious content. Although there was one joke I didn't get.Something about a question mark stuck in between two dollar signs.

Is this supposed to be some sort of text messaging pornographic code?
I also liked when the woman with the shot gun was compared to Sarah Palin. I haven't heard that name in a while.
Oh yeah, and the pilot was "Kai-jacked"-- Loved it!
I didn't care much for the end of the episode. I thought that the assassin just repeated everything that the doctor had said about her.
But, overall, the show was good. I've found myself taking a poll lately, and it seems that there are a lot of NCIS fans out there. And after seeing an episode for myself, I can understand why.
There were two other things that caught my attention about the show.
1) The director seems to love brunettes. Rarely do you find a show where all of the lead female roles are played by brunettes. They usually throw a blond in there somewhere.
2) What's with the old fashioned, bulky white computer screens that everyone in the NCIS office have? you'd think that Federal Agents would at least have the most current technology to work with. Schenectady County Community College doesn't even have those old monitors anymore.
