The Positively Positive

I have to say that I got a big kick out of this episode and it was tons of fun to watch, with the team getting together with a couple old friends – Fornell and Damon Werth for a road trip. Between McGee on a caffeine high, Gibbs and Fornell’s hilarious banter, Tony being the quiet one for once and Ziva and Werth flirting – I liked it all. It almost didn’t even feel like a normal episode of the show, with all the old friends coming along for the ride.

Highlights….

McGee suggesting that he could feed Gibbs’ fish and that Gibbs could eat them. LOL.

Gibbs knowing there was someone in his house just from the fact that McGee didn’t mention the t-bone supposedly in the fridge.

McGee’s reaction to Gibbs asking him to “Get Ziva and DiNozzo out of bed.” – hilarious!

The sight of Fornell in his robe and him asking Gibbs not to look chipper.

I’m with McGee, sometimes I wish my brain had an on-ff switch too when I’m trying to go to sleep.

McGee falling so dead asleep that he didn’t even notice when Gibbs and Fornell got in the car.

The amount of times they managed to say “knot” and “not” in the space of two minutes.

Gibbs and Fornell bickering in Ducky’s lab. I swear it sounded like those two were married.

Tony telling McGee “I think there are a lot of people that would like to see you naked” when admitting that he almost stripped McGee and put him in a drawer in autopsy while he was asleep.

McGee sleeping with Bert…..awww. Guess he’s the go-to pillow when anyone needs to catch a few winks.

Abby asking McGee if he had sleeping sickness and it turning out it was just because he was trying to keep up with Gibbs. Have to admit that until then I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on with him either.

Abby accusing Gibbs of enjoying having McGee as his valet….and him not denying it.

The way Ziva said “good luck with that” when Werth asked the guy not to enjoy patting her down too much.

Tony continuing to hold a grudge after Werth broke his nose. He has a good point – he does only have one nose and it is on his face.

Gibbs trying to put on his sling by himself. He can be such a big baby sometimes, refusing to ask for help.

Gibbs telling Fornell “yeah whatever, you already slept with my wife.”when Fornell remarked how easily he gave over the keys to his car. I know plenty of guys who’d be more worried about the car, especially a stunning ’71 Challenger like that one.

The amount of times they used the word ‘melons’ in the space of one minute.

Laughing at the fact that I actually understood most of what the head guy said in CB talk. Guess watching ‘Convoy’ all those years ago, plus episodes of ‘BJ and The Bear’ is really paying off.

McGee hollering “F U!” at Tony before he realized he was talking about Morse code.

Gibbs and Fornell bickering at the gas station. Those two were scary-good at it. Once again, they totally sounded like an old married couple.

Gibbs with the MOPAR reference! Nice!

McGee totally hopped up on caffeine and for once being more antsy than Tony.

Ziva staring down the truck as it came barreling towards her, more calm than the ex-Marine standing beside her. Whoa.

Gibbs and Fornell ending up in the back of the truck. Sneaky!

Abby asking the guy if he was stupid for paying that much for the ‘Cuda…..before she knew it was the Holy Grail of muscle cars.

Leaning something new. When I go shopping for my muscle car (oh yeah, I’m so getting me one), I’ll be sure to bring a magnet.

Abby rubbing it in the bad guy’s face that she was going to tear his pressure car apart.

McGee asleep on his desk…..again.

Tony finally letting the grudge go, by offering to help Werth find work.

Ziva being sly about whether or not she and Werth were going to be seeing more of each other. I always knew she liked that guy.

Overall an episode that was a rip roaring good time and I hope they keep doing more like it.
