This week (11/6) on Homeland Security...
a/k/a Things I learned:
A dead shark with a body inside. Sharks swim underwater, and the Navy has submarines that operate underwater. "We should call the police"? Uh-uh. Call NCIS!
Looks like the scuttlebutt about Granger being sick may be true.
PEBG has a better grasp of human anatomy than does TTS.
The body turns out to be an NSA employee. We didn't even get the formality of the NSA requested NCIS on this one.
TTS doesn't need no stinkin' ID card! He has a badge!
News of shark stomach contents travels fast in Southern California:
NSA supervisor: You know one of our co-workers was found inside a shark this morning.
TTS: That's why we're here.
NSA analysts are trying to keep up with SN by engaging in field work.
Fortunately, ISIS gun thugs are lousy shots- unless you are a car window.
Also fortunately TTS did not take the headshot so PEBG could take one with a camera.
This was a shooting incident. The FBI will need to speak to you. FBI? What has TTS been smoking? This is an NCIS case!
NSA security? What has the supervisor been smoking? This is an NCIS case!
Deeks is perfect for an assignment at a mental facility.
At NCIS, if your personnel file's psych evals indicate you have issues, you can continue to carry a gun and work the field.
None of the physical therapy chicks recently gave birth, so they can wear polo shirts. Kensi however is stuck with a baggy hoodie- even in warmer outdoor scenes.
Salute to military-based movies #1: The tall psycho dude with the phone is either related to Psycho in Stripes (1981) or saw the movie. I was disappointed he didn't threaten to kill "Noah" for touching his stuff.
"Noah" is rocking a better Poorly Executed Beard than PEBG.
NSA chick: That's an illegal search!
TTS: That's legitimately funny coming from the NSA.
Hands down best lines in the episode. Seriously though, hasn't the NSA chick ever watched the show?
NSA pay is a LOT better than NCIS pay.
The Granger-Deeks-TTS video chat screen would make a good cover photo if NCIS: LA ever spawns a video game.
If drug cartel activity is confirmed, avoid involving the DEA. This is an NCIS case!
TTS does not work for the morality police. That's probably the only area where NCIS: LA has not worked a case.
Highly educated people like NSA supervisors and accountants will never ask for lawyers. Fat lot of good it would do them on this show anyway.
Granger is definitely ill- process the NSA people to the FBI? This is an NCIS case!
Whole Foods prices in LA can cost you the shirt off your back.
PEBG can pass for an FBI agent. Seems like the FBI is getting a lot of mentions on this show. Maybe a spinoff is in the works: Criminal Minds: NCIS
Good thing TTS has a Hemi Challenger. It can reduce LA drive time from 10 minutes to 6.
Dead security guards at mental facilities garner no attention.
Even though they have a budget for all sorts of stuff for overseas operations, NCIS has no boat in LA and must rely upon a former SEAL.
TTS apparently has multiple personality disorder as he announced Federal Agents! when arresting the drug cartel dude.
No shark repellent is needed when TTS is in the water- he is the Chuck Norris of the sea and the sharks know it.
Townsend turned over to the FBI? Geez, this was an NCIS case!
Salute to military-based movies #2: PEBG has seen Top Gun (1986) as far as telling someone classified info and then having to kill them.
