'NCIS' Recap: Getting Boats Out of Basements, Bullets on Bullets, and In-Law's

3 November 2009 4:25 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Of course the focal point of tonight's NCIS is Gibbs' (Mark Harmon) returning mentor Mike Franks (Muse Watson). Even Ducky (David McCallum), who is normally nice and all, says he isn't comfortable with the "psychological make-up" of Franks and thinks he's lying. At first we thought it was something horrible, but later on, Ducky turns out to be right, and he is indeed lying, but the intention is something else, something we didn't quite foresee.

Somehow, Gibbs' boat was found with two dead bodies, and according to evidence, the bodies have been dead for at least three days, the bodies may have been dragged to the boat, and there are bullets lodged on bullets. So there's another shooter? The people dragged into the accident include: the head of a private military company where the two worked for and possibly Mike or even Vance.

NCIS Preview: Mike Franks Returns — with Gibbs' Boat

3 November 2009 12:36 PM, PST | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

NCIS' Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) has always been able to turn to his mentor, Mike Franks (Muse Watson), in times of trouble. When Franks returns in the hit CBS procedural's Tuesday episode, the tables will be turned.

Two mercenaries are found dead on Gibbs' boat, which forces Gibbs to re-evaluate his old friend and talk his way out of some hot water.

"We find out where the boat has ended up and it's something that Franks is involved with," Watson tells TVGuide.com "Franks and Gibbs have been such dear friends, so Gibbs lets Franks have the boat and everything gets confused from there. And of course when Vance finds out that Gibbs' boat is involved, they want answers from him and he doesn't have any."

The episode ...

'NCIS' to Introduce Tony's Dad Soon

2 November 2009 2:46 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

NCIS fans may already know too much about Ziva's (Cote de Pablo) daddy and last season we were introduced to Jackson Gibbs, father of, well, Gibbs (Mark Harmon). What about the other people? Entertainment Weekly reports that this season, we will get to know the father of another NCIS agent - Tony's (Michael Weatherly).

Tony's dad is set to grace NCIS for the procedural's upcoming 150th episode, airing sometime in January. The character will be played by veteran actor Robert Wagner, best known for playing super rich private eye Jonathan Hart on the 80s crime drama Hart to Hart. The two will reportedly reunite for this milestone NCIS episode.

NCIS: Preview of Episode 7.6 "Outlaws and In-Laws"

2 November 2009 1:04 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Missed NCIS last week? At least tonight's episode looks to be a good one, when Gibbs' (Mark Harmon) job appears to be in jeopardy with his former mentor Mike Franks is involved in a murder investigation - although we know they can't fire Gibbs right? Would they dare? On "Outlaws and In-Laws" the team must play family counselor to Franks in order to prevent a bloody international conflict.

On the last episode of NCIS, which was also its Halloween episode sans a costume for Abby (Pauley Perrette), some fans thought it was a little letdown procedural- and everything else-wise. The case was that of a prankster who was killed, and somehow Abby's lab was turned into a some sort of dumping ground for all of the victim's prank paraphernalia.

Cote de Pablo Dishes on NCIS' Ziva and Tony

29 October 2009 10:04 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Cote de Pablo hails from the nation of Chile, whereas her character on NCIS, Ziva David, is of Israeli descent. Only one of them is a trained killer with ice in her veins.

Still there are parallels between the two, as TV Guide learned, not the least of which being their sober professionalism in the face of certain people's goofiness.

Yup, we're talking about both Michael Weatherly and Tony Dinozzo. Below are excerpts from the magazine's recent Q&A with the super-serious special agent.

Q: So Ziva gets to be “probie” for a while now?

Cote: Wellll, as probie as Ziva can be. She gets teased specifically by Dinozzo, who just finds it the funniest thing in the world. But it bothers her tremendously.

Q: You were the last major piece of the NCIS puzzle, at least for the core group. You’ve been here four years now. How long »

Mark Harmon Breaks Down Gibbs, Ziva and the Future of NCIS

27 October 2009 3:31 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

The lead character on TV's #1 show, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, is unlike most - on NCIS or beyond. Gibbs is a strong, silent type in charge of strong, outspoken types.

Tony Dinozzo even described Gibbs as “a functional mute” to a curious terrorist in the Season 7 premiere. While Leroy may utter slightly more words than are necessarily for survival, the point made by his contrastingly mouthy subordinate was well taken.

Luckily, the actor who plays Gibbs, Mark Harmon, while also strong, is a little less silent. In a Q&A with TV Guide, he talks about where the characters on NCIS are headed and how, perhaps not surprisingly, he doesn’t want to know where they’re going.

Like he would tell you anyway. That's classified, people. Excerpts below ...

On being called "the #1 show on TV" ... "I don’t know that you get tired about that. This group so deserves it »

NCIS: Preview of Episode 7.4 "Good Cop, Bad Cop"

12 October 2009 4:58 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

To sign or not to sign?

That is what we'll find out on tonight's episode of NCIS. And to make things more exciting, "Good Cop, Bad Copy" is another Ziva-centric episode. An investigation forces Ziva (Cote de Pablo) to dig up a lost chapter of her life, which currently hangs in the balance depending on whether or not Gibbs (Mark Harmon) will sign up her clearance to return to NCIS or not (of course, there's another signature that is oh-so-important in the current proceedings, by the way, lest we forget).

Exclusive: 'Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths' Preview!

30 September 2009 10:51 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Yesterday, I gave you the full breakdown on the "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths" featurette that appeared on the DVD for DC's "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" animated movie. Not only did we get our first look at Ultraman, Power Ring and the rest of the Jla's alternate-universe counterparts, The Crime Syndicate, but we also found out about the origins of the next animated feature from the DC Universe.

However, since my recap and the shoddy-at-best images I posted only go so far, here's an exclusive video preview of "Crisis On Two Earths," courtesy of the good folks at DC and Warner Bros. Premiere. I'm pretty sure you'll agree that it's even better than I described it—and that James Woods makes a pretty terrifying Owlman.

So, tell me, folks—was that Justice League Detroit we caught a glimpse of there? Read on for the full specs on "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths, »

'NCIS' Reunion Recap: Can Gibbs Trust Ziva Again?

29 September 2009 5:41 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Of course, Ziva (Cote de Pablo) was back, and while it wasn't explicitly made clear if she's back to the NCIS team, we all know it's going in that direction. On this episode, we get the usual murder mystery that involved a cop who was out for revenge - although there was also something going on behind the shadows here.

We realize early on that the rescue mission that took the team to North Africa was only the first step of this thing with Ziva; getting her to be back to NCIS was another matter entirely. Eventually, it's up to Gibbs (Mark Harmon) to decide if Ziva would be back or not. At least she aced Vance's (Rocky Carroll) psych evaluation. But trying to rebuild ties with the McGee (Sean Murray) and Tony (Michael Weatherly) were more complicated. Abby (Pauley Perrette), meanwhile, kind of blasted Ziva since she doubted Tony's motives in shooting Rivkin, »

NCIS: Preview of Episode 7.2 "Reunion"

28 September 2009 7:08 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

On tonight's episode of NCIS, it looks like we're back to business after last week's harrowing affair as the team investigates the bizarre death of a Marine, to which his friends may be linked. However, not everyone's in the clear yet as Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is given the final word on Ziva's (Cote de Pablo) future with NCIS, although I highly doubt it if it's going to be anything drastic.

On last week's kick-off, Tony (Michael Weatherly) was captured by a Sudanese terrorist and was interrogated on how did exactly he get there (perfect time for a sort of reintroduction and a refresher in one for the whole NCIS experience). He essentially told the story of the how the team worked after Ziva went back to Mossad, how he and McGee (Sean Murray) tried to find a replacement, and how the team finally realized that Ziva was in danger and was therefore need of rescuing. »

Dancing With the Stars Isn't (LL) Cool (J)

23 September 2009 10:16 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Kelly Osbourne was divine. LL Cool J was money. CBS' NCIS: Los Angeles killed last night with 18.3 million viewers, per preliminary Nielsen estimates. The series premiere—even bigger than The Mentalist's last fall—dominated the second hour of ABC's still kicking but slipping Dancing With the Stars. The only show that LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell's new vehicle didn't outrun was Mark Harmon's old one. Original-recipe NCIS owned Tuesday with 20 million viewers for its seventh season premiere. Overall, it was a good night for free TV, with solid starts for CBS' The Good Wife (13.7 million) and ABC's The... »

'NCIS' season 7 premiere: Gibbs is still the man

23 September 2009 7:36 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Spoiler Alert! If you haven't seen last night's season premiere of NCIS, and you intend to, stop reading now. Do not click through to watch the clip of Gibbs (Mark Harmon) stealing the episode from Tony (Michael Weatherly), who risked his— and McGee's — life to rescue Ziva (while working in a nice True Liesreference, as naturally Tony would). Do not get excited when Tony tells the bad guy Saleem (Omid Abtahi, who I do not find all that scary since I've seen him on episodes of Bones and Ghost Whisperer), "Remember when I told you my boss was a sniper?" (Clearly, Tony was describing the team for the benefit of new viewers, which was a little frustrating for fans, but that ending almostmade up for it.) Do not chuckle inappropriately when you see Gibbs emerge in his desert camouflage like some kind of burlap monster with curlie-q fur to shoot another guy dead and say, »

NCIS: Preview of Season 7 Premiere "Truth or Consequences"

21 September 2009 7:20 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Fans of the much talked-about Tiva (that would be Tony and Ziva in NCIS speak) won't be pleased with tonight's season 7 premiere of CBS procedural NCIS. Tony (Michael Weatherly) and McGee (Sean Murray) are instructed by Gibbs (Mark Harmon) to search for a replacement for Ziva (Cote de Pablo), whose homecoming to Israel had not exactly been the most pleasant last season. From what we know, she was captured by the terrorists in Somalia that Rivkin had been investigating.

And true to form, Ziva is a no-show on tonight's premiere. Instead, we get a sort of Ziva, same willowy hair, same no-frills demeanor, and wouldn't you know it, Tony likes her too! The NCIS team heads back to work, despite the past still weighing heavily on their minds. In one clip, the two special agents interview one Clair Connell from the DEA as a potential replacement for Ziva. She has »

DC Announces ‘Crisis of Two Earths’ Animated Film

16 September 2009 4:15 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Though the announcement of DC Entertainment last week has turned a few heads in the world of comics and film, the plan for DC’s animated DVD features has stayed strong since the first release of Superman: Doomsday back in 2007. It looks like the next film for DC’s animation department looks to be taking a different direction, as they take on a Crisis on Multiple Earths storyline.

The next film in the works is based on the Jeph Loeb Superman/Batman: Public Enemies story arc, which hits DVD shelves September 29th. On the DVD is a special feature showing the details of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. From a Warner Bros. press release:

Warner Home Video will distribute in Spring 2010 (finalizing date soon)

An original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne

McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of

“Crisis” stories.

Comics: Crisis Coming to DVD

16 September 2009 1:42 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »

Have you caught the various DC Animated Movies, like Wonder Woman, Superman / Doomsday or the upcoming Superman / Batman: Public Enemies? They're all awesome little animated films, filling the void left when Justice League Unlimited went off the air. 

(Jlu was one of my faves. So is Jl... but Cartoon Network never seems to re-run those. Bastards.)

Warner Home Video has announced the latest in this very lucrative direct-to-video franchise: Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths.  Stealing a page from the comic book Crisis On Infinite Earths saga, Two Earths is set to depict the battle between our Earth's Jla and the Crime Syndicate from a parallel version.

In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, a “good” Lex Luthor arrives from an alternate universe to recruit the Justice League to help save his Earth from the Crime Syndicate, a gang of villainous characters with virtually identical super powers to the Justice League. »

First Images From 'Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths' Hit The 'Net

16 September 2009 5:29 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Back in August, advanced box art for this month's "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies," teased another upcoming DC Comics feature "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths"—a title with far-reaching fan implications.

Now, it seems Warner Bros. is ready to shed additional light on the project, with new screens featuring a "good" Lex Luthor, a fully stocked Jla and Batman's alternate-universe doppelganger, Owlman.

Written by Justice League alumni Dwayne McDuffie and Bruce Timm serving as executive producer, the feature borrows themes from DC's "Crisis On Infinite Earths" and Grant Morrison's "Jla: Earth 2" storylines with a heroic version of Lex Luthor traveling from a parallel Earth to enlist the aid of the Justice League in thwarting their evil counterparts, The Crime Syndicate. Owlman stands out as the most notable foe, apparently putting "the balance of all existence in peril" according to Warner Bros.

The feature's voice cast will include »

Three Guys and a Girl: Creator Talks 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Team

23 August 2009 5:17 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

As September 22 draws nearer and nearer, I'm sure a lot of people are anxious to see how NCIS: Los Angeles will look up. I say a lot, because judging from the ratings alone, there are a lot of NCIS fans who are looking forward to the spin-off of their favorite show and are no doubt hoping that it will be good. But how can you go wrong? After all, NCIS: Los Angeles also came from creator Shane Brennan, who revealed a lot of juicy bits of info about the cast.

For starters, Brennan said that the whole show was based on one character: Special Agent G. Callen, played by Chris O'Donnell. But as we can probably surmise from the original NCIS, it's unlikely for a show like this to revolve purely around just one character. NCIS has never been just about Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon.
