D.W.Q.M: "I am not a student of human nature. I am a professor of a much wider academy of which human nature is merely a part." -the Second Doctor
I'm sorry this is a bit late, but I figure it'll be okay, considering after this week just about everything I watch will be in reruns for a while. ;) (stupid basketball, stupid season finales!) lol.

Series: Navy NCIS (CBS)
Episode: The Truth is Out There
Original Airdate: March 16th, 2004
Favorite lines:
Tony: "Have you ever been in a mens restroom before?"
Kate: "No, have you?"
and
Abby: "Do you have any fetishes?"
Gibbs: "I have three ex-wives- I can't afford any fetishes."
The main story line involved the murder of a petty officer in a night club (owned by a not-quite-yet-17 year-old smart a** who is majoring in business, or will, or something) turns out that the petty officer and 3 of his buddies were playing a joke on another buddy, Petty Officer Wong. They got a call girl to lure him into the parking lot, and while the two of them were making out-the others staged a show that made it look like an alien had crashed into earth and was walkign towards him. Wong knew about it before hand, new who was in the alien suit, and ran him over-and told the others that he panicked and hit the gas, claiming it was 'an accident.' Ha. They only covered for him because they believed him-when they found out the truth, they weren't so loyal...
Actually, it wasn't the main story that intrest me-it was the secondary story, that wasn't really a complete story at all that grabbed my attention. In the last episode (about 2 weeks ago) Duckie and his assistant Leon were held hostage in autopsy by a terrorist who was looking for the body of his dead brother (another terrorist who had a chemical weapon he was planning on releasing in the U.S. The terrorist wounded Leon and managed to escape the authorities (apparently he had an insider on the S.W.A.T. team-the insider was shot and killed during his escape.) Anyhoo, they didnt' catch him, and they can't find a match to his face on any known terrorist list. During this episode, Gibbs was rather preoccupied at times, and was still running the list, even though it had already been done, and he was more grumpy than usual (understandable) This is the first time I have noticed a major story line from another story being brought up in another episode in more than just a line or two here and there. I'm wondering if this will carry on and be a part of the season finale somehow. I guess we shall see-at the very least, it sparked my intrest.
(no, i haven't read any spoilers, so if you know I'm wrong, please don't let me know.) ;)

Series: Judging Amy (CBS)
Episode: Disposable
Original Airdate: March 16th, 2004
Favorite line:
"Cupcakes cause cancer!!" -Maxine, after accidently burning the cupcakes intended for Ned's birthday.
First off, I would like to say, despite all the emotional baggage he may carry, I like David a lot better than Stu. I don't know what it was about him, but Stu just rubbed me the wrong way. Blah.
Like most episodes, there were several stories going on-since it will probably take forever for me to cover them, I'll just talk about a few. Amy had a case involving a teenage girl in a group home who was caught shoplifting 9 red teddies from a store...turns out that there was a much bigger problem at hand-an older girl, convinced that the system is lousy and will kick them out of the home when they are 18 (which is true) has a plan for keeping them all together and taking care of each other...unfortunately this plan involves 'escorting' and picture taking of the kind not becoming of young girls. Thank god Amy stopped that. Her mother, Maxine, who works for D.C.F., has a friend, Val, who has been a foster mother for years, and has helped 5 foster children get through high school. She currently has a foster daughter, Carla, in grade school but is starting to suffer some major memory loss. It was so bad that they were considering taking the girl away from Val. Maxine and Amy were marveling over a system that can do nothing to help people who would do anything to help others, in their time of need. Fortunately, Maxine came up with a solution-she had an eighteen-year old homeless girl who was about to be kicked out of the system and thrown into 'real life'. This girl was planning on going to a community college, but needed a place to stay. Maxine suggested that Val take her in, and she could help out with Carla, and help Val take care of herself as well-this way, both girls have a loving home to stay in, and Val can get the help she needs. Ahh, it's nice when you can work around the system (legally) and make it work for you.
Future Potential Problem (or sticky point): At the beginning of the season, Amy was transfered from juvinelle court to criminal court-she eventually came back to juvy, but not before she was the judge in a case where David was the DA. (at the time she was still involved with Stu, so there was no problem) David got his conviction, but the defense found a new witness and has new evidence. The prosecuter had a problem and was surprised that David did not excuse himself from the case. He then spoke to the defense, while looking straight into Amy's eyes, and said, quietly, 'What if I said the said relationship was suspended?' But, fortunately, before anything else could be said, he excused himself from the case...but from the look on Amy's face, you could tell she was bothered by it. Arrrgg...it took them sooo long to get together...Oh, well, we'll see what happens. Lauren gets some major points though-later that evening, she could tell her mom was upset, and asked Amy what was wrong-Amy told her that she thought David was mad at her. Lauren said he'd get over it, because when he said all the great things about why he liked her, he was right. Awww...Lauren has been going through the 'bratty teenager' stage most of this season, and it was nice to see her sweet side again. ;)

*whew!* I have another entry planned for a new show I watched Tuesday, but judging from the length of the entries from shows I've been watching all season, maybe it's a good thing it'll be a different entry. Hmmm...perhaps if I did this more often, I'd learn to be more concise. ;)
