    Pop culture fun and the series picking up steam!

    The part about Nick and Jessica breaking up takes me back to when reality tv was actually fun. A great re-watch pop culture reference of the time. The case was interesting too. The characters were really starting to have backstories build that make you want to watch more. If you are watching the series for the first time, keep going it gets even better.

    I like the bit where he punched a hole in the wall but it was really the woman

    Poor attempt for humor

    A poorly written script. Turned me off to one of my favorite shows.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      When Sgt. Porter shows his bruises and they appear to move t one side of his body to the other, the long view that looks as if his bruise moved was actually a view in the mirror of the interrogation room. The mirror view would naturally reverse everything.
    • Quotes

      Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: What about gunshot residue?

      Abby Sciuto: The instant shooter kit came back negative on Porter's skin, shirt, and pants.

      Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Could've worn gloves...

      Abby Sciuto: Or he could've changed his clothes. I'm way ahead of you, Gibbs. That's why I'm doing a full analysis on all of Porter's wardrobe.

      [as Gibbs]

      Abby Sciuto: How long, Abby?

      [as herself]

      Abby Sciuto: Well it's gonna take some time. And since this stuff doesn't smell very good, I don't think laundry was a priority...

      [as Gibbs]

      Abby Sciuto: Abs!

      [as herself]

      Abby Sciuto: Um, two hours. Whenever I know something, you'll know something.

      [as Gibbs]

      Abby Sciuto: You got one! Anything else?

      [as herself]

      Abby Sciuto: Yes, as a matter of fact. This is for you.

      [hands Gibbs a coffee]

      Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why?

      Abby Sciuto: For getting me out of sensitivity training. We were about to do trust falls and those guys in administration have wandering hands.

      [as Gibbs]

      Abby Sciuto: Just give me their names, Abs, and I'll break 'em for you!

      [as herself]

      Abby Sciuto: I know you will, Gibbs. And that is why I love you.

      [Gibbs gives her a peck on the cheek]
