OK, so far the pictures… now some comments/thoughts… 🙂

Overall I liked this episode very much !! I loved the ups and downs in tone and speed of scenes… it had the right amount of action and team banter, seriousness and lightness. I often watched a whole scene and had to rewind to make screencaps because I was so captivated the first time.

The ‘crazy’ bad guy was awesome. His motive and well-prepared revenge plan gave him depth. Well written and very well played.

Callen & Sam: loved their banter moments as well as their ‘we’ve worked together for so long and know each other’ moments.

Kensi & Deeks: they had great moments and dialogues and I really like the way they are presented lately.

Eric & Nell: great friendship – no necessity for more IMO.

Nell & Granger: always in for a treat – they have an awesome dynamic.

Hetty: so few lines, so much impact… 😉

Deeks & Monty: I love how they always bring Monty up.

Callen & Joelle: Bringing up Joelle? Not so much… ;-p

Well, well, it was a great decision to revive my picture reviews with the 150th episode. So let me know… What should be Callen & Sam’s Theme Song ?? Did you notice COD’s wife and daughter ?? Should Deeks & Monty get their own TV Show ?? Who do you think is the mole ?? Or, you know, just anything you wanna share about the ep or my thoughts… #MuchLove

sindee’s sentiment: How weird is that I kinda ‘like’ this guy already ?? 0_0

Oh, and… Having the videos without restriction on the site comes at the cost of having to watch ads this year… Believe me, I’m very sorry about that !! And I feel with all you non-US fans… Greets from Germany !! 😉

sindee’s sentiment: This episode sounds very ‘Die Hard with a Vengeance’-ish to me and I’m really looking forward to that. I’m also looking forward to seeing COD’s wife and little daughter in ‘action’ – since they are listed as guests they might actually have a line or two… Stephen Wozniak is reprising his role as ‘Tyler Brunson’ and with the baddie having the same surname I suspect it’s about revenge for his death in Three Hearts (5×21).
Excitement level for this episode 5 out of 5 !! 🙂
