The Positively Positive

In this week’s episode we are introduced to a new couple within the team – Tony and…..McGee?

No folks, it’s not what you think. In “Guilty Pleasure” Tony and McGee aren’t admitting to a romance. It’s a “bromance”, and I for one, love it. Tony and McGee make perfect partners/friends and the fact that they are starting to realize it, makes it even better.

The episode begins with the two getting into a little lover’s tiff over some miscommunication, causing Ziva to compare them to a married couple with a “seven year bitch” (she of course meant “itch”). Later in the episode Tony meets up with his (seemingly) perfect match. Another guy who dresses like he does, quotes movies and overall just “gets it”. McGee is not happy, though he does his best to hide it.

In the end, Tony breaks up with his new bro-mate and goes back to McGee. They go right back to bickering happily, just as they should.

Highlights….

The guy yelling at the chick to “get off Facebook and dial!”

Gibbs telling Ziva that Tony and McGee were not like a fighting married couple because “they’re still speaking”. Oh Gibbs, how you slay me.

Tony telling McGee “you were funnier when you were fatter.” – I’m kinda with Tony on this one. That “why did the dead guy cross the road?” joke was pretty bad.

McGee starting to get a little grumpy when Gibbs ordered Tony to work with Detective McCadden.

The look on Gibbs’ face when Abby started discussing why she wouldn’t be able to be a prostitute even though she met some of the “qualifications”.

Tony and McCadden bonding over movies and Tony calling him “McC”

Wondering just exactly what it was that Holly whispered into Gibbs’ ear and how it could be a “deal breaker”

Abby and Holly comparing their very different taste in shoes.

McGee asking what all of Holly’s code words meant…..and being instructed to check the internet. LOL.

Tony thinking that a smoking jacket was…..classy?

Tony’s surprise at getting a little more than he bargained for when his “date” started smacking him around a little.

Tony saying “Daddy’s gonna make wee-wee”. Really, Tony? Really??

Totally suspecting the lawyer as soon as I laid eyes on him.

McGee referring to Tony and his new bro-mate as “T-Cad” and wondering what he’d think if he knew that some people (*cough* fans *cough*) refer to him and Tony as “McNizzo”?

McGee using his iPhone to pull up a suspect’s rap sheet. My how technology (and the show) has grown in seven years.

McGee muttering to himself gloomily after Tony forgot his Nutter Butter cookies……and it making me totally crave Nutter Butters. Damn you, McGee. *adds them to her shopping list*

After Tony and McCadden leave, McGee sadly saying what HIS favorite call-girl movie was, even though he was never asked.

Abby of course being able to spot that McGee was very sad over losing his Tony.

Abby asking Gibbs to give her hug to McGee….and the look Gibbs gave McGee before being told he didn’t need one. ROTFLMAO!!!

Tony defending McGee and saying “there is no better” when McCadden suggested that he deserved better. Awwww! Too cute!

Tony defended McGee again and pointing out that “we’ve got nothing” after McCadden was hard on McGee for having nothing…..and then telling the detective he could go. I guess the bromance is over.

Finding out that I was right about the lawyer. Ha!

Gibbs blowing away the bad guy and saving the damsel. Gotta love an ending like that.

Tony referring to himself as an “NCIS geek” when breaking off his “date” with McCadden. Once again I say….Awwww!

Tony and McGee bickering again, and watching as Ziva smiled at them, knowing how much they love it.

Finding out that what Holly wanted in exchange for her help was simply a dinner with Gibbs, without expectations.

Feeling a little sorry for Gibbs when he said he didn’t have many friends, and him being to finish his dinner alone.

Overall I loved all the Tony and McGee interaction in this one and look forward to seeing more of those two being portrayed as partners and friends.
