Nonstop

Please don't have the Sherlocks on another episode. With the exception of Jessica Walter's character, all of the Sherlocks should be either arrested or shot. They are obnoxious and pointless. They totally ruined this episode.

I am a big fan of your show and being a retired Navy Man I always notice but rarely find incorrect verbiage or uniform display.

With that said in this episode there is a shot where you are showing a Petty Officer's picture in both Work and Dress Uniform side by side. Clearly the work uniform picture shows she is a Second Class (Enlisted) but the Dress Uniform picture has her in Commissioned Officer Attire.

Say Hello to your stunt coordinator Diamond for me.:)

I became a life-long Jessica Walter fan way back in 1971, after seeing her in Eastwood's "Play Misty for Me", my favorite performance that year. (She was infinitely better in the role than Glenn Close's riff on it so many years after in "Fatal Attraction" with the wrong lady getting an Oscar nomination.)

It was a special treat to see her return as Judith McKnight, member of the Sherlocks in this cute "NCIS" episode, from the same director (Mark Horowitz, a producer on the show) and writer (Brendan Fehily) of "16 Years" in 2015, also featuring Richard Riehle as the cute sheriff Walt Osorio. And Walter's delivery of delightfully rude double entendres, in her sexy sparring with Robert Wagner, was memorable -making every moment of her small role count, and reminding me how much Standards & Practices at the Networks have changed over the decades in permitting such ribaldry in a non-Cable show.

I'm filing this IMDb mini-review as something of a response to the "Official" review already posted for this episode by a fan who has fallen prey to the curse of inveterate TV addicts, dissecting a show from a strictly "Principal Cast" point-of-view. In my own history of watching way too much television, having my mind warped at an impressionable age, I learned to watch for and treasure the guest stars, rather than becoming fixated on what minuscule differences occurred in the characters of say a Marshal Dillon or Miss Kitty from week to week.

So before "Play Misty", I greatly enjoyed Jessica's guest shots on all manner of shows (ranging from Wagner's "It Takes a Thief" and serious stuff like "The Defenders" and "East Side/West Side" to those popcorn shows I loved like "The Immortal" and "Then Came Bronson"), and in the '60s and '70s doted on the frequent guest ladies like Stefanie Powers, Mariette Hartley and Pamela Franklin who usually outshone the highly paid and highly publicized STARS on the sets they visited. You will note in the "Official" review that not only Jessica Walter is omitted but ONLY the Harmon & co. permanent line-up is addressed (treated like a soap opera with only their characters' names mentioned), as if they were the only players on screen.

When they first show a picture of the victim, Maya Kettering in her uniform, she is wearing the dress blues of a second class operations specialist but she's wearing the cover of a naval officer. How could you screw up something so simple 14 seasons in? Would it really have been so difficult to give her a cover of an enlisted female sailor to take her photo? Whoever allowed this to be aired should be fired. They have no idea what they're doing. The technical advisor on the show is supposed to prevent this exact same thing from happening. They have been doing a good job up until this point. I can't recall ever seeing an enlisted wearing a partial naval officers uniform or vice versa and until now. Was your technical advisor out sick or on vacation when you were filming this episode?
