NCIS Episode Review: 9.15 Secrets
Feb. 15th, 2012 08:12 amI really liked this episode – and it will go on my list of favorites. I don’t think there was anything glaringly “wrong” with this episode – it had lots of the good stuff – humor, insight and romance.
Speaking of romance, let me just say I liked Wendy and I am so relieved. I wanted so much for her to be a good person and a good match for Tony – and she was. She was attractive without being overly beautiful, smart, funny and she had back bone without a being a bitch (cough*EJ*cough). She was everything I could have hoped for in an ex-fiancée.
I won’t go into a full blow review because by now I am sure you have already read several, but you haven’t, let me point you to a couple that I really liked:
Littlesammy has 5,000 words and LOTS of pictures worth of awesome – you can find her review here. http://littlesammy.livejournal.com/316066.html
Jelenamichel is shorter, but no less sweeter and can be found here. http://jelenamichel.livejournal.com/37452.html
I do have a few quick comments:
Tony/Abby scene - ♥
Tony/McGee scene - ♥
Tony/Ducky scene - ♥♥
I do want to say a couple of things about the last scene with Tony and Wendy.
For the first time I felt a little hardening of my heart towards Wendy (but it soon passed) when it was revealed that she called off the wedding the night before the ceremony and gave Tony no explanation whatsoever and they never spoke after that.
I wanted to scream at her: YOU LEFT HIM AT THE ALTAR AND DIDN’T TELL HIM WHY? YOU LET HIM THINK FOR NINE WHOLE YEARS THAT HE HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG, THAT HE WASN’T WORTHY OF YOUR LOVE OR OF SPENDING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH?
No freaking wonder – he has been messed up in the relationship department and Ducky was right – he has no faith in himself BECAUSE YOU TOOK IT FROM HIM.
Okay, well maybe I do still have a teeny bit of resentment over that (hee), but Wendy finally came clean and Tony needed to hear that it wasn’t his fault, that he is worthy of having someone love him – that he is worthy - period.
That was the closure that Tony has been seeking and I am glad he finally has it. Thank you Wendy (I would hug you if I could).
Will we see Wendy again? I’m not sure and at this point I don’t think GG is sure either – he did say her character was potentially reoccurring. If she does come back and they don’t mess her character up – I wouldn’t mind seeing her again and even if we don’t actually see her again, I am sure her story with Tony isn’t over and surprisingly the Tiva shipper in me isn’t too worried about it.
