It was a 200th episode. Series that ever get a 200th episode have been around for a long time, with entrenched characters and storylines repeated several times already. So they tried something a little different, but 200th eps tends to cater to the fans, and more often than not it doesn’t really work, because, well, y’can’t please ’em all. SGA’s 200th ep had more tongue-in-cheek fun, but despite all the hype leading up to it, it was a bit of silliness.
I didn’t mind the “real time” story, the B story in this case. but I did mind how they played Franks. Here was a marine even more ornery than Gibbs, and yet he came across as such a softy. Guess death changes you… the Kate and Jenny appearances were odd and CG-ed odd, respectively. At least it looked that way. But I do like that they haven’t forgotten Kate and Ari. The Tony interviewing Ziva scene wasn’t confusing to me, but I did like him guessing her name was “Tiva”.
And no, they never have enough Abby and Ducky, but on the other hand, its a good gig. You don’t work all the time, you get a steady paycheck, and you get to go to Comic Con (well, Pauly Perrette) and the Craig Ferguson show…
