Ncis Los Angeles - Tumblr Posts

I would love a tv show based on Hetty’s origin story. It could follow Hetty’s OG team during the Cold War. It could have a young Owen Granger, young AJ Chegwidden, Sterling Bridges, Harris Keane, and Charles Langston.

My idea is that it opens with modern Hetty telling the story before she dies, maybe tired of all the secrets. The show could focus on the Clandestine Unit.

Hey I’ve been watching One Chicago in the order thanks to your list. I was hoping you could do the same treatment for the NCIS series? (I know that universe includes Hawaii Five-O and some other things, which would be great, but I won’t ask too much. Keep up the good work

Hey fellow NCIS fan!! :) Sorry for the late response!

It’s been a while since I came across someone who actually knows about this show! It’s so popular and has so many spin-offs, I never understand how no one seems to have heard about it!

I’ve watched up until the middle of NCIS season 12, started season 9 of NCIS: LA, and just a couple episodes of NCIS: New Orleans before I was ready to rip all my hair off hearing them trying to speak French. I haven’t kept up-to-date in a hot minute though, because I watched all those Bellisario shows on TV cable, which I don’t have anymore. From what I know of, there’s also that NCIS: Red thing I’m not sure actually got released, and JAG and Hawaï Five-O I didn’t watch at all.

So from what I remember, the shows don’t interact that much with each other, maybe one or two times a season, maybe more when a spin-off is announced. Would a list really be useful? I remember feeling really confused when the next episodes didn’t picked up where they left, only to find online it was a crossover and concluded on another show.

Considering the universe includes a lot of shows, I guess it could be a good idea to regroup them so the crossovers are clearly identified. Though, since the shows don’t interact that much, I’m afraid most of the ordering wouldn’t matter and would make it more confusing than anything.

Okay, I realize this is a lot of me ranting, so here’s what I’ve decided: I can build a NCIS list based on airing date and make the crossovers stand out in the list. But I’ve started watching NCIS like fifteen years ago, so I don’t remember much and won’t be able to discuss episode ordering like I currently do with the One Chicago list.

So, if you (or any of you!) are interested in managing the NCIS list with me, send me your Gmail (privately; DM, ask that I won’t post, Twitter) and I’ll add you as Editor on the Google Spreadsheet!

Thanks for the suggestion! Stay safe! :)

I desperately want some fanfiction about Sundays by the pool with G and Arkady. Or possibly G and Arkady and the big guy's various ex wifes (specifically Natasha, the 6 foot tall former miss Ukraine) or even just the details of Operation Cossack.

NCIS: Los Angeles Season Six Rewatch:  Day 21, “Beacon”

The basics: After Arcady is nearly killed, the team learns of a deal he brokered and the trouble that’s it could cause.

Written by: Jordana Lewis Jaffe (Wrote or co-wrote “Honor”, “Patriot Acts”, “Dead Body Politic”, “Paper Soldiers”, “Unwritten Rule”, “Big Brother”, “Iron Curtain Rising”, “Exposure” and “Savior Faire")

Directed by: Diana C. Valentine (”Lokhay”, “Fallout”, Three Hearts”, “The 3rd Choir” and “Forest for the Trees”)

Guest stars of note:  Vyto Ruginis as Arkady Kolcheck (back from the gym in “The 3rd Choir”), Elizabeth Bogush as Joelle Taylor (back from “Humbug”), Aisha Kabia as Coast Guard Lieutenant Joyce Kelly,  Dan Warner as Man with Hoodie/Brett Smith, Matt Stasi as Patrick Berkeley and Elena Evangelo (Justified) as Elia Berkeley.

Our heroes:  Get to hang with Arkady again.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen:  Ambivalent about Arkady. Sam:  Worried about Callen. Kensi: Worried about Deeks and the LAPD. Deeks:  Hunted, not the hunter. Eric:  Loves Nell. Nell:  Stunned by Eric. Granger:  Worried about Deeks and the LAPD. Hetty: Worried about Callen.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Likes Arkady’s pool, still cranky about his time in jail. Sam: Maxing and relaxing at the hotel pool. Kensi:  Likes when Deeks talks detective to her. Deeks:  Likes to talk detective to Kensi. Eric: Does a decent imitation of Deeks. Nell: Enjoys Eric’s imitation of Deeks. Granger: Thinks Eric is a little dramatic. Hetty:  Thinks there is more about the tanker to come.

Who’s down with OTP:  She’s buying him food for the big one, they’re taking Lyft rides on a Saturday night - OK, that’s all in the deleted scene but the show put it out there and that’s good. Things turn a  little when Deeks takes his detective talk one step too far.  Not down with OTP - Granger but not because of the dating, because of the IA investigation.  IA gives them another moment, far less delightful and fun.

Eric tells Nell he loves her but he really loves her brain and love her brain so much he wants to take a piece of it with him - taking that conversation a step too far.  Callen and Jo are a little off – she’s still getting use to him being a federal agent. He’s just glad he’s no longer in jail.

Who’s down with BrOTP:

Fashion review:  Callen is wearing his blue button down checked shirt.  Sam is in his multiple-shade blue henley. Ying to his yang, Kensi is in a black tee, Deeks in his signature white.  Multiple-colored plaid shirt over a dark tee for Eric.  Black dress with a blue-green print and a notch collar for Nell.  Medium blue suit for Granger with a white dress shirt. Dark blue pinstripe suit for Hetty.

At the hotel, Pool Attendant Callen is all dressed in white while Resort Wear Sam is in a salmon shirt with white linen pants.  

Music:  No.

Any notable cut scene: Kensi and Deeks arrive at Arkady’s to find his 10-foot driveway gate locked.  Once they climb over, Deeks is wondering why Kensi is smiling so much.  She bought a six-month supply of Soylent, a meal in a cup.  Deeks isn’t sure he can be with someone who can’t tell a story - she didn’t sell the story.  Kensi explains that when the big earthquake comes, most people’s emergency food won’t be good. Deeks is not impressed until Kensi says half of the Soylent is for him.  Deeks thinks it is the most morbid but dangerously romantic thing she’s ever done.  Kensi tells him it’s nothing - wait until he opens the box.

Hey, maybe 150 is opening the box!

Quote: Anything Arkady says is gold.  For the rest of the hour:

Callen:  “Name one thing I do that’s extreme.” Sam:  “You’re a grown man, you sleep on a mattress on the floor.” Callen:   “I like sleeping on the floor.” Sam:  “Depriving yourself like that, living like a monk, it’s gonna catch up with you.  Make you do something you regret.” Callen:  “Like what?” Sam:  “I don’t know, join a cult.” Callen:  “Oh, you mean like the Office of Special Projects for NCIS?” Sam:  “Burn through your savings.” Callen:  “I already did that…to save my cult leader, no less.” Sam:  “Exactly.”

Anything else:  Early morning in downtown Los Angeles, Arkady Kolcheck is hustling his way through some alleys.  He keeps looking back – concerned he’s being followed.  Entering a parking lot, he takes the stairs and not elevator to the roof.  Getting to his car, he is about to make a clean get away when a man in a hoodie with a handgun stops him.  The man accuses Arkady of having something that does not belong to the big Russian and the problem is not going away.

Arkady tries to grab the weapon from the man.  A struggle ensues and two shots are fired. A security guard hears the shots and races to call the cops.  A man in a hoodie walks away from Arkady’s car, which blows up when the man hits a trigger.

Across town, Callen drops Jo off at school.  Nice couple chatter turns into Jo’s concerns about Callen’s career.  Callen wants Joelle to trust him and she does – she’s just getting use to the real Callen. After Jo leaves, Callen gets a text to report to Ops.

A somber team is waiting for Callen.  They have security camera footage of Arkady running through the alleys and of the car exploding on the roof.  Granger says Arkady’s background and business dealings are of great interest to the government.  The team is tasked with figuring out who killed Arkady.

Nell and Eric bring up the fact that there is no real video of Arkady being killed – just him running to the garage (before) and the car exploding (after).  Kensi mentions that Arkady’s usual security team was not with him – a move Callen said Arkady would use if he didn’t trust those around him.  Callen sends Kensi and Deeks to check out Arkady’s home.

Granger wants to know if Arkady thought he was in any trouble.  Sam remembered their last meeting where Arkady said the crumbling US-Russian relationship meant “the waters were getting rough.”  Callen and Sam go to the crime scene.

Outside her office, Hetty waits for Granger.  Granger wants to know if Hetty thinks it is a good idea to keep Kensi and Deeks in the field together.  Hetty replies that their “extra-curricular” activities haven’t caused a problem yet. Granger isn’t talking about that- he wants to make sure Deeks is protected from the LAPD IA investigation.  An interesting way to look at it – you would think an Assistant Director of a federal agency would be more interested in his agency’s personnel than the local liaison working with them.  Not surprisingly, Hetty is more worried about Callen, who may have last the last connection to his father.

Kensi and Deeks arrive at Arkady’s to find the front door to the mansion opened and the place ransacked.

On the parking lot roof, Arkady’s car burned to a crisp as is a man on the ground next to it.  Sam asks Callen if he’s alright but Callen really doesn’t answer.  Instead, he looks at the dead body and claims it doesn’t feel right – dental records are going to take a long time and it might not even be the Russian.  Callen claims that Arkady is not his friend – he even wanted to shoot the man several times- but he’s got mixed emotions about this.  Next to the dead man, Callen finds a pocket watch given to all KGB Agents.  Arkady wore his every day.

Callen and Sam call Kensi.  She and Deeks were going through Arkady’s study since that’s the room that was most thoroughly searched.  The hard drive from his computer is missing but Callen thinks an old-school guy like Arkady would have paper copies of everything – he didn’t trust computers.  Callen remembers a painting Arkady had of a tree that he would never discuss – he liked to talk up his paintings – and that was often in different frames.

In Arkady’s study, Deeks found a photo with fingerprints in it.  There is a dust line for the photo’s frame on a mantle.  Broken glass on the floor and the photo in a bookcase means the photo has been touched during the search.  Deeks sends Eric a copy of the photograph with fingerprints for a search.  Kensi is quite taken by Deeks’s skills.  It gets flirty and fun until Deeks mentions severed fingers and kills the mood.

Eric is running the fingerprints on the photo – it is a younger Arkady and a woman (Anna’s mother?).  Eric does his Deeks imitation – pretends to scratching his head, adjusting non-existent bangs out of his line of sight to a very amused Nell.  One fingerprint belongs to Arkady; they’re still checking the other.

Kensi and Deeks find a rather ugly painting of a tree among Arkady’s art work.  Under the paper backing of the frame, Deeks finds a deed to a yacht.  Arkady has money but not “yacht money”.  He does, however, legally own a yacht, according to the papers.

Eric cannot find who was chasing Arkady.  When Nell offers some sympathy and some help, Eric has an idea.  He declares “I love you” to Nell.  Nell is stunned.   Eric backtracks saying he loves Nell’s mind and he loves it so much he’d like to take a small part home with him.  Nell is not really up for a lobotomy.  Much like Deeks’s severed finger remark, the moment was gone.

In an eatery, Callen sits with a tofu salad while Sam is having a hamburger and fries.  Callen usually gets an Achin’ Bacon Burger.  Sam takes this opportunity to look at the issues Callen has and Callen brings up Sam’s not-greatest hits.  They move on to Arkady’s yacht.   Callen thinks Arkady could move a lot of drugs or guns with the yacht.  Sam asks if Arkady would really run drugs – Callen isn’t sure.

Eric found reflections of the man leaving the garage in different store windows, car windows and or mirrors.  He knits these photos together and is stunned by the result.  He races downstairs to Hetty and Granger.

In the restaurant, Callen nearly chokes on his tofu – Arkady is alive and snatching one of Sam’s fries.  Arkady wants to know if Callen is planning the Russian’s funeral – he wants bagpipes.  Arkady is also concerned that Callen gave up meat to mourn his death when he sees the tofu salad. Callen wants to know what happened. Arkady gives a completely one-sided but technically true recount of his morning without the car exploding.  Asked about the auto-flambé, Arkady admitted he has his cars fitted with explosives.  "Pays to be prepared.“

The pocket watch was a dramatic way to get Callen to look into his murder, Arkady explains as he sits down to eat Sam’s fries.  After watching Arkady heavily salts the fries, Callen wants to know who would want the Russian dead, Arkady has a list including Chechens, Albanians, Iranians – individually salting a fry and eating it in-between enemies. Sam brings up the yacht and Arkady goes from entertaining to being on defense.

Kensi and Deeks visit the Coast Guard.  An Officer Kelly is very helpful with the limited info NCIS can share with her.  With the limited info, she can make it work - finding ships is what the Coast Guard likes to do.

Callen and Sam take Arkady to the boatshed.  He won’t even enter the interrogation room – it feels like a coffin.  He makes himself comfortable on the main room couch.  Eric pops up on the screen, surprised to see Arkady on the couch.  He has info on the other sent of prints at Arkady’s home. They belong to a Brett Edward Smith, a former LAPD officer suspended in 2008 for excessive force.  Smith is in private security.  A photo of the man shows up on the screen – it was the man who tried to kill Arkady, a fact the Russian sort of hedged on when asked.

In the Coast Guard office, Deeks tells Kensi he does not know Smith (with 9,000 officers, Deeks probably doesn’t know all of them).  The Coast Guard Officer found the ship – outside of Caracas.  The ship has a transponder – rare in yachts but common in cargo ships. The Coast Guard can get a satellite photo of the ship in five hours.  Helpful but not immediately so.

Callen and Sam ask about the ship.  Arkady stonewalls until Callen steals his phone.  A photo of a beautiful woman – Anna – is on the phone with the message "Anna is a pretty girl.”  Arkady is evasive but says Anna has “nothing to do with the boat.” Arkady explains that he knew some Russians with money, some Americans with the boat and brought them together – “no law about that.”  Sam corrects Arkady – there are sanctions against the Russians, there are very specific laws against that.  Arkady thinks, but isn’t sure, the deal was made just as the sanctions were starting.  Arkady promises to tell them everything they need to know and hope they never learn the rest.

Nell finds who actually owns the ship – P & E Berkley Shipping.  Patrick and Elia Berkley own the company.  They’re siblings.  They’ve also been in trouble over the years for breaking the law to go around sanctions. The late Brett Smith was their head of security.  His partner, Tom Keefer, worked with Smith in the past.  While not a Berkley employee, Keefer may have done “off the books” work for Berkley.

At Keefer’s home, Kensi and Deeks can’t get in – no probably cause or warrant.  Very proper procedure being followed here.   Deeks gets confirmation that Keefer’s car is by his home.  They also learn the body at the crime scene was Smith’s.  In the car, Deeks admits he’s not enjoying stakeouts as much now that he’s being staked out by Rivera.  Kensi has not heard from Rivera but wonders if she keeps digging, will Rivera find anything.  Deeks “honestly” doesn’t know how to answer Kensi.

Hetty arrives at the boatshed.  She and Arkady need their own episode, just dinner at the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan recalling the good old days.  Hetty stands while Arkady sits – she towers over him in ways that has nothing to do with size.  He admits that the Berkleys wanted their ship back but he wouldn’t return it.  It carries over $100 million in oil.  It isn’t a cargo ship, it is a supertanker.  Callen, Sam and Hetty set up a sting with Arkady as the bait.

Outside Keefer’s house, Kensi and Deeks watch his car drive off.  They follow. Arkady meets with the Berkley’s at a rooftop pool/hotel.  Arkady has his own cabana; Sam is sitting in a different area with a drink while Callen is the pool attendant.   Keefer is going to the hotel.  Kensi and Deeks plan on meeting Callen and Sam there.  Eric sends Callen and Sam Keefer’s photo.

Keefer leaves his car outside the hotel and makes his way to the roof.  Kensi and Deeks arrive with the Deeks noticing blood on the car’s bumper.  Keefer wasn’t driving, he’s dead in the trunk – Callen and Sam are looking for the wrong man on the roof.  Kensi and Deeks take the stairs up to the pool to save time.  The comms break up as they try to tell Callen and Sam about the new hit man.

The hit man enters the pool area and I don’t know, if you’re at a fancy pool and everyone is in nice bathing suits and resort wear, maybe the guy in a black no-name cap and inexpensive, generic jacket sticks out.  Also, if you have an undercover operation going on in this limited area, outside the kid with floaties in the pool, isn’t everyone a suspect?  Generic jacket guy walks right up to Arkady and the Berkley’s but instead of shooting the Russian, he goes after Ellia Berkley.  Callen tackles Arkady while Sam takes out the hit man.  Falling in the pool, the hit man is surrounded by a big blood cloud in the water.  That’s going to be fun to clean.  Kensi calls for medical aid for Elia Berkley while Deeks handcuffs her brother.

Arkady didn’t recognize the shooter – even though he’s Russian.  Elia is going to live.  NCIS believes the Russians want the deal to go through and were willing to kill everyone involved.  Callen asks Arkady who is Ana.  "A nice Russian girl,“ is Arkady’s reply.  Callen tosses Arkady his pocket watch and parrots the saying on the watch.  Callen adds "loyalty to family” trumps all. Arkady agrees.  Good foreshadowing.

Back in the bullpen, Callen and Sam are packing up. Callen is meeting Joelle for Chinese vegetarian, Sam is just happy to go home to his family.  Hetty has a hunch this case isn’t over.  She’s right - obviously reading her scripts in advance.

Nell and Eric arrive.  The ship’s transponder has been turned off and can’t be found by the satellite.  The tanker is gone.  Callen thinks Arkady may be as difficult to find.

What head canon can be formed from here: Sundays by the pool with G and Arkady.  Deeks dropping terms like pat down and forensics during alone time with Kensi.  Eric having romantic thoughts about Nell’s IQ.

Episode number: 141 overall, the 21st of season six - we’re in the homestretch.
