May 13, 2008 · Print This Article
This week on NCIS “About Face”, Jimmy Palmer becomes the target of a mysterious killer who only he can recognize. Here is our review:
The Good
Kudos on giving our boy Jimmy Palmer a larger role in this episode. He’s actually pretty funny with good comedic timing (The hypnosis session was hilarious). More Jimmy Palmer, I say!
The Bad
Ok, I don’t get this business with the musical chair in the director’s office. Where the hell is Jenny? This really makes no sense anymore.
The Ugly
Huh, was it just me? Or was it not clear why *SPOILER ALERT* the two serbians committed the murder? Seriously, what was the point of the whole thing?!
Overall, this NCIS episode was ok, nothing to write home about except for Palmer funny antics.

Okay, did any one else notice, and find it odd that Ziva removed the wallet from the body BEFORE Ducky got to the crime scene?
Hasn’t it been established since SEA DOG that no one is to touch the crime scene body before Ducky gets there, under threat of being pushed off of a cliff into the water 60 feet below?
Palmer hypnosis = shoe fetish + the “unspoken incident at Camp Winnatonka”.
What brand of shoes did Ziva and Abby wear?
Are there any “official” Scrabble players out there that know if “QI” is allowed?
I’m betting it was Ziva who played the word “NINJA”
Gibbs *knows* hydrofloric acid does not belong at a construction site.
From Azerbiajan to Zimbawe there are 78 countries that use dark blue passports.
Gibbs is “working on it” and “will let you know”.
Also, Gibbs would “hold off on that”.
It is never a positive when they have Abby in long pants *and* her lab coat the whole episode.
It matters not if Palmer or Ziva has the gun, Palmer will be the one going down.
Palmer can’t pronounce it, but he can spell it.
Ziva knows there are lots of “Ks” and “Cs” and can pronounce it.
In the end, Palmer did after all followed Gibbs’ orders and stayed in the car.
Now you’ve got something to write home about.
Ha. Love it. By far, one of the best comments I have ever had on NCIS. I am not worthy
The guy the serbians killed just won a 2.1 million dollar settlement that was being paid in installments. They killed him to take over his identity to take the money for themselves. That’s why the serbian’s passport had a different name on it then his driver’s license.
What I don’t get is why it took NCIS so long to figure out that Rick Baxter had won a settlement worth over 2 mil. You’d think that would kind of jump out in a murder investigation.
