Bit of a head fake last night. The 8pm episode was a repeat of the season opener (No complaints; I could watch that opening scene with Cote de Pablo a few more hundred times :D) and the new episode was on at 9pm.

I have a question. Does NCIS really stay that intimately involved in cases that are only tangentially involved with military personal? The victim was not military. The crime scene was not military.

Maybe they stay involved as long as the possible suspects are military or dependents of military?

Or the writers just screwed up.

If McGee was such a great scout growing up, how has he managed to walk into poison ivy TWICE in the last few seasons? Shouldn't recognizing poison ivy be a very basic scouting skill?

I think the writers were going for "it occurred on a Navy base so it's an NCIS case" but that wasn't really very clear at all. Not the best episode of the season, IMO.

Good catch on the McGee discrepancy. Now I'm annoyed by the slapdash continuity, too. :D

He says he was a great scout. We only have his word to go on, and it was actually Tony who found the body.

Depends on where he was a Scout at... Poison Ivy doesn't grow everywhere...
