NCIS Round Table: "The Good Son"

30 March 2012 12:24 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Our NCIS review broke down the latest installment of television's #1 show in great detail.

Now, TV Fanatic staff members Steve Marsi, Matt Richenthal and Eric Hochberger have assembled for their weekly Round Table Q&A discussion of events from last week's episode, "The Good Son."

Join in below, as we analyze Gibbs, Vance, and much more ...

----------------------------------

Describe this episode in one word (or two, or three).

Steve: Enlightening and surprising.

Matt: Very nicely done.

Eric: Complexly crafted.

What was your favorite quote or one-liner from the episode?

Steve: Tony, while trying to stifle his wisecracking in the wake of Gibbs' performance review comment, letting the crabs joke slip out and regretting it two nanoseconds later.

Matt: "It's not your fault." - Gibbs

Eric: I think I'm going to starting substituting "yabba" for "talking" in everyday speech.

Best scene?

Steve: Vance fighting back the tears as Michael was escorted out, »

NCIS Review: The Good Father

28 March 2012 4:30 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Nine seasons in, NCIS still has a great way of peeling back new layers of characters you thought you knew, casting them in a different light or offering a different perspective on what makes them tick.

Case in point: Leon Vance.

The rare Vance episode always keeps things interesting in large part because you never know quite what to think of the guy. He's head of NCIS, yet simultaneously not part of the fabric of the team.

Part of that's the nature of the best. Vance even told Gibbs recently never to seek his job, alluding to the political entanglements and bureaucracy that complicate their mission. But it's also just Vance.

He keeps things close to the vest (pun not intended after this week's poker game tie-in), making it difficult to ascertain where his priorities are at times. This was certainly the case in "The Good Son."

NCIS Sneak Peek: Vance Caught in the Middle

27 March 2012 7:12 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Gibbs and Vance butt heads often as it is. Now that there's a family member involved, will tensions between the director and his top special agent boil over? Where do the shot-caller's allegiances lie?

In a clip from tonight's all-new episode of NCIS, Vance finds himself in a very difficult position as his brother-in-law - his wife's brother - is brought in for questioning in the murder of a Navy officer.

Vance acknowledges that Gibbs is his best agent, and seems to hedge when asked if he believes in the innocence of the unlikely suspect. Will he ultimately be exonerated? What will the fallout be?

Check out the sneak peek from "The Good Son" below ...

NCIS Promo & Photo Preview: "The Good Son"

21 March 2012 1:46 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Jamie Lee Curtis returned and left quite an impression on Gibbs last night. What did you think of the episode? Follow the link to check out our official NCIS review and join the discussion of "The Tell."

Looking ahead to next week, the case hits too close to home for Vance as his brother-in-law (guest star Jocko Sims) becomes the lead suspect in Gibbs' investigation into the murder of a Navy petty officer.

Should be intense as the two men, who are on the same side yet often clash over procedural issues, priorities and departmental views, butt heads again. Check out the episode trailer and photos below:

Sean Astin, Jocko Sims to Guest Star on NCIS

2 March 2012 5:54 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

NCIS, and Jamie Lee Curtis, return March 20.

In "The Tell", the Secretary of the Navy, Clay Jarvis (Matt Craven), partners Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and Dr. Samantha Ryan (Curtis) after top secret government information is leaked by someone on the inside.

Gibbs and Ryan on the same team, presumably? Should be a treat to watch. Meanwhile, Sean Astin of Rudy and The Lord of the Rings fame (below left) guest stars in the same episode as Tyler Elliott. 

Elliott is a fellow PsychOps investigator who comes in to assist on the case.

A week later, the March 27 episode is titled "The Good Son" and centered around Director Vance (Rocky Carroll). It will offer a rare glimpse into the character's personal life, along with the addition of a new family member. 

Jocko Sims will play Vance's brother-in-law (presumably his wife's, or possibly his sister's, brother), Michael, who is brought into NCIS when »
