![]() In many cases, the mental trauma is so much more profound than the physical. I’ve worked with teenagers most of my adult life and sometimes the stories they relate would simply leave me speechless. ![]() It’s a hard reality that this world we live in preys on those who cannot defend themselves, and the ones who always suffer the most are the children. We can plainly see the concern on their faces as Elliot Reynolds (Christine Horn) explains that these kids relive their trauma every night and every morning when they wake. Deeks and Kensi are disappointed to find that Rosa is not at the refugee center as they had hoped, but they are relieved that she is apparently with a distant aunt out in Barstow. ![]() We shift quickly from Fatima briefing Callen about the break-in over to Kensi and Deeks trying to find out about the status of Rosa, the young woman we met back in this season’s episode number eight, “ A Land of Wolves”. Gerald plays it perfectly and I always enjoy watching him tear up any scene he’s in. ![]() I dealt with officers like him in the Marines and there were some that could turn boiling water to ice with just a look. Gerald McRaney plays the old curmudgeon perfectly without even cracking a grin… which just makes the character that much scarier. was the worst thing to ever happen to him. I did not think there was anyone on the planet who could stand to be around him for more than a few seconds, but Shyla is either a glutton for punishment or she has somehow become immune to the gruffness-hides-my-inner-turmoil Admiral who seems to enjoy acting like getting transferred to L.A. I enjoyed the character and do hope that we will have another visit this season. This scene did introduce us to Shyla Dahr, Admiral Killjoy’s extremely friendly assistant but her time with us was very brief. I think it would be better to just play the silent game around the Admiral. Although we were missing Sam as he was off tending to his father (hopefully, all is well on that front) the other team members gave us some pretty good scenes.ĭuring the opening in the bullpen, I almost felt sorry for poor agent Roundtree trying in vain to have some sort of small talk conversation with grumpy ole goat Kilbride. While there was not a lot of gunplay (a little at the conclusion) or explosions in this episode, we did get to meet some really interesting characters throughout the 43-minute run time. It is not long before the Callen-Katya connection once again rears its ugly head and the real reason for the break-in is revealed to be something the Russian spy does not want anyone to see. We soon find ourselves immersed in a world of stolen artwork and artifacts that are being sold to possibly fund terrorist operations. We jump right into the case with a “Trojan horse” robbery where one bad guy becomes three and while two of them cover cameras and grab random crates, the leader accesses a coded locked vault and grabs the one item that seems to be the primary objective. The regular cast was joined by Adam Lustick (Hieronymus), David Will No (Wen), Czarina Mada (Elena), Gildart Jackson (Dupont), Nicky Endres (Kim) and Kavi Ladnier (Shyla Dahr). Carlisle and Chad Mazero and the director’s chair was filled by none other than our very own Daniela Ruah. I know we still have a lot of episodes left but these last few have had a common theme that I think is what will give us an exciting wrap-up sometime in May. It also means that we are on the downward slope toward the end of this season of NCIS: Los Angeles. It is a beautiful time of year and all the college kids are headed to the beach while the rest of us get ready to mow the yard and get the pool up and running. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing and the grass is starting to grow again. ![]() Hello everyone! I hope that all of you are doing well as we are now entering spring… well, at least, that’s what the calendar says. ![]()
