Legend (Part II)

Does anyone know how the name of the song as the end? Sounds like it might be from U2!

Clearly a crossover episode designed to draw audiences into watching the spinoff, this left a bad taste in my mouth and I certainly won't be tuning into NCIS: Los Angeles.

For starters, there was just too much artificial tension manufactured, in an attempt to create some drama. It fell flat.

Another thing that I didn't care for was the use of tech. Something that all NCIS shows are guilty of, to some extent, but they push it over the top here. In LA, the NCIS team can do everything on their fancy equipment and at lightning speeds, to the point that it is ridiculous and ruined the experience.

The thing that pushed it over the top for me was when one of the female characters from the LA team pulls her car over and smashes one of her headlights. This was an on the fly move to create an excuse to make contact with a body shop. While the tactic didn't bother me, what happened next certainly did. These three young men were walking the street nearby, and see her. One of them makes a comment to her, a cheezy come-on, but none of them were being threatening in any way. Her response? She draws her gun and points it at them. Yeah....okay....

This is the only episode (that I have noticed) that Ziva uses a contraction. She and Tony are in the squad room and she is saying the he did not expect her to identify Rifkin. At about 28:10, she says "you think I didn't" rather than you think I did not.

Watching a rerun of NCIS, I never watched it while on a major network. The show works as a whole w/some obvious cliches but t works most of the time. While watching this I couldn't help thinking of the leader of the intels character, Lara act is absurd how attractive she is. This show needs to get real w/these eye pleasing characters. Silly, sexist and stupid. Why is t she played by a Mexican-American or Asian-American actress? Ridiculous and not credible. It ruins an otherwise good show.
