Here There Be Dragons

The lovely Alyss shared these from the actual script. Crossing my fingers that we see this on the Season 9 DVD's deleted scenes section.  

Before the episode aired GG had talked about the fact that even meeting under different circumstances and being at different places in their lives, there was still that certain "zing" - the inevitable chemistry between the characters.  I was really psyched to see the scene and was sorely disappointed that most of it ended up on the cutting room floor due to time constraints.  I know it was an AU episode and it doesn't affect canon one iota, but I would have liked to have seen that little show down between the two. 

I am not going to cut this because it is not spoilery (as it never aired).

Which scene was the secret scene?

Nothing we didn't already know - but, Michael looks good and is hilariously funny

Totally forgot about MW being on The Talk today.  

I know less about SM than I do about the other NCIS actors; perhaps because he doesn't do much press - but I follow him on Twitter and he has become 'active" again in the past few weeks.  I am finding he has a wicked funny sense of humor.  I like that in a man.  Zombie Ari indeed.
