The devil's play thing
steveclem-4377828 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I started watching this episode and the first question in my mind was why were you trying to make Kate look so bad? According to the show, she's the best FBI agent they have so why did they make her look like a little girl who needed her daddy in order to do her job correctly? It made no sense. You're telling me this capable woman needs her boss, who's got this awful '70s porn mustache, to go with her to set up a sting with her informant? Huh. What's going on here? Then came the rub. This episode isn't about an incompetent FBI agent. The reason they had her playing the fool was that this episode was really about being kind to your informant. Informants, are people too right? What we need to do is have a heart-to-heart with them and rationalize the situation while taking their feelings into account. Let me ask you are you crazy? If I recall Jane said that criminals are not logical. If they're not logical how are you going to rationalize with them? You don't... they're criminals. They see softness as a weakness. You give him an inch they take a yard. I think we established that in this episode didn't we? What you do is you grab them by the shorties and knock that crap out of them early. They need to know they did wrong and that you are in a catbird seat. They screwed up and you're giving them the gift of staying out of prison. What more do they deserve? Informants put themselves in this position because they're selfish. They tend to like themselves more than anybody else. That's why they commit crimes. You ain't going to rationalize this out of them in a heart-to-heart talk. That's foolishness. The fact that you need to explain that to anybody is crazy. Look, you need to stop all this social stuff. None of it makes any sense. There's no logic in it whatsoever and NCIS New Orleans went off and LA is going off because they do this nonsense. Don't be the next victim of that craziness. This show is doing great so why are you trying to mess it up? Are we even thinking about living in the real world? I know this is fiction but are we trying to be competent at all? Okay, enough of that. ? Now let's get down to the real nitty gritty. Dog fighters are garbage. Write that down as a fact. They are the lowest of the low. They rank right down there with rapists, child molesters, and murderers. They need to go away and away permanently. Some people give up the right to live and these people are among those that need to go. If you know these people, you like these people, are around these people, associate with these people your garbage. This is aimed right at the Fox NFL kickoff show. That sadistic behavior makes them Psychopaths and you an enabler. The fact that dog fighting is done for entertainment or money is heinous. The fact that they're doing this to dogs and not people doesn't change that. If you did this jacked-up kind of stuff to people you would either be serving a life sentence or you would be executed. Why do we devalue animals? Is the pain any less? The answers are self-importance and no if you were wondering. It's not who it's done to but rather it's the act itself that you need to be concerned with right? Right. The fact that you have to explain this to anyone is ridiculous. Apparently, there are people who don't get this and they are what we call morons. Obviously, they did this episode to set dog lovers off. Fine with me. Any time you get the chance to light up a dogfighter you should take it.? I'm saying this figuratively but ... you know. You know? Finally a little bit of a lighter mood. I love the foam in the truck thing. It was really cool. The only thing is that this was already done on The Big Bang Theory, so some points are taken off. Oh yeah, Boom boom and Bam Bam are great. Need way more of both of them. They're pretty cool punking him around like that. Yeah, I would say that was cool. Just remember dogfighters need to be the devil's plaything and I'm serious about that.

Not NCIS Material
rticrose1 December 2023
Wow-this story line really took NCIS to the bottom! Whistler is talking to everyone under the sun about how to coddle her CI! Not going to happen in the real world! Then we are taken away from what might have been a little more valuable story line to constant private time with Lucy. This was not what we are looking for in NCIS! Where are the great story lines about mystery and intrigue with the military around the gorgeous backdrop of Hawaii? You also have this great opportunity to explore the native influence with the group in Alex Tarant and drop it for Lucy. This was all bad filler! We're done.
