7 x 03 - opinions?

Will contain spoilers so behind the cut....

Love the fact that everyone else is realising how hot Tim is - though think polygraph girl needs to go back on the 'appropriate workplace behaviour' class - surely abusing your job like that is wrong? Who am I kidding - I would have done just the same, though I would have made him take his shirt off.

Love the sandwich eating - anyone else watching that entirely through subtext glasses? - and super flexible Tim in the car (+ Tony's reaction). Also love the fact that we don't know what happened in the cell. Just that they were both a bit ruffled. Also think Abby's worry about them was pitched just right. I think she is the voice of the fans in the 'Timmy must never be hurt!' stakes.

I adore Ziva (want to be her when I grow up) so not impressed by Gibbs at the end - be nice to the torture victim please! Like the way that Ziva is shown to be reacting to the changed dynamic between Tim and Tony - she totally realises how close they are now.

Generally a really good episode I thought. SO much better than the depressing season 6 - seems much more character driven and much faster paced. I realise that the whole season can't just be 'Tim and Tony working together and looking longingly at each other' but I am really enjoying it while it happens!

I've never actually posted here, though I've been a lurker for awhile, but I really thought this had to be pointed out, and I can't believe no one has yet. At the beginning of the ep, when McGee first mentions that he has to retake his polygraph, Tony's all, "Don't ask, don't tell. You didn't make the mistake of coming out, did you?" I just thought that was hilarious.

Also, I agree with the sandwich stuff, and Tony making comments about how flexible McGee is. I'm not 100% a Tony/Tim shipper (because I'm sort of a Tiva shipper too), but stuff like that makes me realize how close to canon it really is.

Loved clueless McGee, and Gibbs offering to paint him a picture.

Totally canon! The 'don't ask, don't tell' bit was hilarious too. Love the fact that Tony is totally obsessed with McGee's sexuality.
I must admit I can't see NCIS in any other way that Tony / Tim what with the looks, the touches and the flirting. (Did you see the way Tim looked up at Tony through his eyelashes in the s7 ep1 during when he was talking about 'payment for services rendered'?) I am hoping that the NCIS world will soon be converted to ship Tony and Tim and write more fabulously fluffy fic!
