Day 15 – Favorite Case

The cases each week are actually very important to me – as much as I love the team interaction and the relationships between the characters, I want my mind to be challenged each week – I want my cases interesting, believable, and not always tied up with a pretty bow at the end – I like to see our team succeed, but it’s nice to see them stumble every now and then – makes them more human. I tend to get grumpy when the cases are loose, unbelievable and fall apart due to bad writing, inconsistencies, and poor logic.

I don’t know if I have a single favorite case – there have been some good ones (and some really bad ones) but one that I enjoyed immensely was 3.04 Silver War.

 I am a history buff so this one was right up my alley and you have to admit a man shot with a musket dressed as a civil war soldier buried in a sealed civil war gasket --- with a cell phone – that’s interesting.  Not to mention that this was the first NCIS case that Ziva worked with the team; it had a good vibe, humor and LOTS OF DUCKY!!!

*Waves to another person for whom the case is really important*

I too get cranky when the case is wishy-washy or the naval aspect is barely perceptible or it's totally illogical.

We need more Ducky *Nods*

Love this case...and love Ziva working it and Ducky being in it so much.

Wait...did you say naval??? What's THAT got to do with NCIS? *headdesk*

Sigh. Yup, agree totally. Just watched Yankee White again, and boy, do I ever miss the early days when Ducky had a sense of humour and the team actually dealt with NAVY cases.

What happened?

I did, yes. *Nods* Foolish of me, I know. What was I thinking of?

Me too, very much so :-( I keep hoping they'll suddenly wake up one day and realise how great the early seasons were and we get back to real navy cases *Watches a flock of pigs fly past the window*

I wish I knew :-(
