This week (10/30) on Homeland Security...
a/k/a Things I learned:
For some people in LA, NCIS is not their first call in an emergency. Some still use 9-1-1.
The LAPD has an under 1 minute response time to violent crimes.
PEBG prefers his couch to the LA stadium.
In a now two-week string, the case involves naval personnel, even if it appears to be a home invasion involving a garden variety gun thug. The irrelevance will get better though, so stay tuned.
That maintenance dude shares DNA with Steven Seagal.
Wait? This has nothing to do with my work (in the US Navy)? LOL. Haven't you ever seen this show?
Beale enjoys pain if it helps playing X-box.
The maintenance dude was ready for the zombie apocalypse.
Let's hope it's a good day, because Bourne>Dahmer.
EBB will be a regular thing until the ATF decides to hire her or her ratings drop. Count on some cases involving swimwear if that happens.
Granger is now into job titles- unless you're his friend.
Granger and Deeks= Greeks. That's probably better than Deeks and Granger= Danger.
Granger is now officially a father figure, last week with SN and this week with Deeks.
SN is an interesting driver.
LA is a rough place. The YMCA teaches UFC level skills.
Illegal search? LOL. Hasn't the maintenance dude ever seen this show?
Using terms like spanner for a wrench and flat for an apartment is no reason to suspect the maintenance dude may have been foreign. PEBG will eventually catch on.
TTS is into botany.
The maintenance dude is the Israeli version of Jason Bourne. It was a good day after all.
Not being their fight (or jurisdiction) has never stopped them.
Having been blown up, EBB now has more experience to list on her resume for the ATF.
It will take more than an explosion to stop EBB and SN.
Gun thugs will not gank people that have seen them abducting a child.
SN has figured out it's real in the field.
What's going to happen to Kensi? Word on the street is she'll keep wearing baggy outfits until Daniela Ruah gives birth. Shouldn't be too long now since the actress gave birth in September and the filming schedule is only a couple of months ahead of the air dates. Other scuttlebutt is that Hetty will complete her healing at that point.
Not the hostage in a barrel in a field filled with barrels scenario again... looks like:
1) The bad guys have been watching US crime dramas, and
2) We need some new federal regulations about barrel safety devices.
When doing a hostage exchange, only use minimal people. Avoid using perimeter security so you can track the gun thug as he departs.
When you're a big deal in the Israeli underworld, it's easy to come and go to the US. This includes gun thugs in your employ.
Gun thugs always have to cock their guns before firing.
When you have a rifle on your back, always use your handgun to stop a fleeing vehicle.
Above-ground gas pipes with contact explosives are conveniently located throughout LA's warehouse district in the event of fleeing vehicles.
PEBG has a minor in marriage counseling. Either that or his relationship time with TTS has paid off.
