NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 DVD Review

Posted on October 11, 2022 by

Yes, I’m back with another in the NCIS franchise. This time, I was thrilled to rewatch NCIS: LA (Los Angeles) season 13, just in time for season 14’s premiere in early October.

The five-disc collection includes every action-packed episode from the latest season, as well as exclusive special features, including the 300th episode celebration.

The jaw-dropping season kicks off as the LA division of NCIS continues to apprehend the dangerous and elusive criminals who pose a threat to the nation’s security. Meanwhile, Special Agent G. Callen (Chris O’Donnell) makes it his mission to hunt down Katya after his discovery of her use of deep fakes, which puts them all at risk. The NCIS team works together to make ends meet, leaving everyone on edge who will be the next to fall into one of Katya’s elusive traps.

The season 13 DVD includes deleted/extended scenes, my favorite the gag reel, and three great special features:

Lucky Number 13
This year, the NCIS: Los Angeles team finds themselves in the midst of intrigue and surprises. From dealing with Russian spies and the mysterious past of one of the team, this season is filled with suspense. This year also deals with important social issues, including adoption, hate crimes, and racial prejudice. The cast and producers provide candid insight into this unforgettable season.

Welcome Aboard, Admiral
Although he had appeared on several episodes in past seasons, this year, Gerald McRaney has become a series regular. In this amusing and perceptive interview, Mr. McRaney discusses why he decided to take on the role of Admiral Kilbride full time and why NCIS: Los Angeles is different from other television series he has been a part of in the past. The cast and producers also weigh in as to the addition of this gifted and talented actor.

300 And Counting
Few series can lay claim to having filmed 300 episodes and continue to be one of the top-rated shows on television. As NCIS: Los Angeles celebrates this milestone, we hear from the cast and producers about the success and the history behind this well-loved series.

Season 14 started October 9, but you can still rewatch season 13 now with the DVD from Amazon.

It’s another night of premieres, and I’m thrilled because one of my favorites is back tonight. Last season of NCIS: LA ended on a high note, with Kensi & Deeks able to foster Rosa, Sam & his dad bonding once Sam had him move in with him due to his mental health issues, and a surprise welcome beach party for Rosa, Kensi, & Deeks…where Callen surprised everyone, including Anna, and got down on one knee and proposed to her.

Of course, it’s not all sunshine & roses. Hetty is still missing, but I think she’s coming back sometime this season, so…we’ll see.

On tonight’s premiere, “Game of Drones,” the NCIS team searches for a suspect and their motive following the bombing of a large facility where military combat drones are assembled. Also, Callen and Kilbride get troubling news about a body found in Syria.

Find out if it’s Hetty in Syria tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Celebrity Jeopardy!, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, , East New York, Family Law, Halloween Wars, SEAL Team, & The Rookie.

NCIS: Hawai’i Season 1 DVD Review

Posted on October 9, 2022 by

Like SEAL Team, I’m a big fan of the NCIS franchise, and I was pleased when the newest, NCIS: Hawai’i premiered last season. Vanessa Lachey stars as Jane Tennant, the first female Special Agent in charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor, who has thrived and risen through the ranks by equal parts confidence and strategy in a system that has pushed back on her every step of the way. Her team is a skilled mix of mainland transplants and includes field agents Kai Holman (Alex Tarrant), Jesse Boone (Noah Mills), and Lucy Tara (Yasmine Al-Bustami), as well as tech specialist Ernie Malik (Jason Antoon). Together, they balance duty to family and country, while investigating high-stakes crimes involving military personnel, national security, and the mysteries of the sun-drenched island paradise itself. FBI Agent Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson) and Jane’s son Alex (Kian Talan) also play prominently throughout the season.

The DVD includes both parts of a special crossover, beginning with “Starting Over” in NCIS and concluding with “T’N’T” in NCIS: Hawai’i, where guest stars Wilmer Valderrama and Katrina Law pay a visit to Hawai’i.

The action-packed DVD includes all 22 episodes, a gag reel (yay!), deleted/extended scenes, and 4 featurettes.

I’ve been looking forward to the series premiere of Fire Country since I first heard about it. This is inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country. Max plays Clay on SEAL Team, and we’ve been assured that Clay isn’t going anywhere, so apparently Max is able to do double duty, or rather triple, since he’s the creator and an executive producer of this new series as well as starring.

He plays Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining an unconventional prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire.

I’m super excited about the premise, and I’m also excited about the cast. Billy Burke (Revolution, Zoo, and The Twilight Saga movies), Diane Farr (Numb3rs, Rescue Me), & Kevin Alejandro (Lucifer, Shark, The Returned, Sleeper Cell, Southland, True Blood), along with Jordan Calloway, Jules Latimer, & Stephanie Arcila.

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching The Great British Baking Show, S.W.A.T., & Blue Bloods.

I’m really enjoying the new season of NCIS: Hawai’i. Granted, it’s only been one episode aside from the premiere, but last week’s ep was pretty good. The team had to learn more about illegal street racing when a Marine staff sergeant’s body was found in a car being crushed in a junkyard. The killer turned out to be what felt like (to me, at least) the least likely suspect. On a personal note, Tennant knew her son was hiding something, and it turned out he was—a new girlfriend. It was the first time he hadn’t come to her with that kind of news, and she realized she would just have to be patient. Also, Whistler was ready to introduce Lucy to her coworkers, but when her boss assumed that Whistler’s partner was a male, she worried how they’d take the news that he was a she. Turned out she didn’t need to worry. Lucy and their relationship were welcomed with open arms at the company picnic.

On tonight’s episode, “Stolen Valor,” Tennant and the NCIS team suspect foul play when they investigate a fatal car crash involving a Navy officer who turns out to be an imposter. Also, Whistler finds herself in danger when she goes undercover to learn the truth behind the accident.

To see if Whistler comes out unscathed, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Dancing with the Stars, Bob Hearts Abishola, Halloween Baking Championship, NCIS, Halloween Cookie Challenge, & Quantum Leap.
