Whose toes were in Jerky Man?
It couldn’t have been the victims because they were all killed after him, right?. The wife’s? How? Why?
And why were his prints found at two scenes?
I think they did some together, then she killed him and carried on the family tradition.
Weren’t the toes the wife’s? Wasn’t there a shot of her toeless foot?
Why do I like this show so much when, week after week, it makes no sense at all?
Her foot had a regular big toe, then this weird other toe that looked as if her other four toes had flowed together.
Ziva, perhaps? Back during the Kate period I didn’t watch much but the past couple seasons I’ve been quite loyal.
Nope, hetero female of a certain age here.
Mmmm, Mark Harmon… (drool)
BTW, I missed the first part of the season when it was on against Dancing with the Stars – who’s this woman Tony’s fallen for?
Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly.
Plus, it’s funny.
It looked to me that her foot was deformed and not that her toes were chopped off. So that it looked as if the husband was turn the make the victims into his wife. But then the victims kept showing up missing toes even after the husband was killed.
Family affair? Husband finds out wife is froot-loops so wife offs him? Wife trying to make it look like it was the husband and didn’t think it would take them 5 years to find him? They don’t explain!
So that-- at the point in the episode-- it looked as if the husband was trying to make his victims look more like his wife.
That’s what I meant to say up there, instead of the nonsense that came out.
Daughter asked, “Why is Mark Harmon famous?”
“St Elsewhere, married to ‘Mindy,’ dad was famous football player, granddad was Secretary of the Navy, two hot sisters, second People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive. Need I go on?”
For the record, I think her implied question was, “Why is Mark Harmon famous if he’s such a lousy actor?” Yeah, I know he was supposed to be good as Ted Bundy but let’s just say he doesn’t outshine his costars in NCIS.
Did they explain how the husband came to be stabbed?
I kinda got the impression that mom had been doing all the killing- she was deliberately picking women who looked like her, and would bite off their toes to make them like she was. At least, there certainly seems to be more psychological motive for her to be the killer than for her husband. I was thinking that the husband found out, or was close to finding out… so she stabbed him and dumped the body.
As for the toe found in his stomach… uh, I dunno. My first instinct was that she forced the toe into him after she’d killed him, to make it look like he was the killer. What was weird was that it wasn’t chewed up much- if he swallowed it on his own, he swallowed it whole.
The story didn’t make much sense, much like last week’s episode. The scene where Gibbs revealed that she was the killer, and her face… changed as she realized she was caught was one of the creepier moments I’ve seen on TV.
Why do I keep watching if the stories aren’t making much sense anymore? I love the characters too much- they’re just fun to watch. I do wonder why the writing’s been so bad lately, though.
I couldn’t even tell you her name. And I don’t know if it would be worth learning – I get the feeling they’re giving her just enough screen time so we’ll give two shits about her when she is gunned down.
I thought it was sort of funny when the FBI/Hill Street Blues guy was lecturing Gibbs on serial killer behavior using Bundy as an example.
I wanted him to say, “Believe me, I know all there is to know about Ted Bundy.”
By the way, I started liking Mark Harmon (as an actor, not 'cause I think he’s hot–I’m a hetero male) before St. Elsewhere, when he was on an action show called 240-Robert. I think it lasted about half a season. I don’t care that he doesn’t have much range, he just seems likable, and he does good sarcasm.
:smack: That one went right past me. There was an episode last year or the year before where someone asked Gibbs what Ducky looked like when he was younger, and Gibbs said, “Illya Kuryakin.”
Of course, that’s who the actor played on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., back in the 60s.
That episode made no sense. Antoher loose end was when the couple went into the van and she dropped her shoe along the way, implyng someone (Ducky) would probably see it.
Never refered to it again.
I thought the implication was that they did the murders together.
Yeah, there were loose ends everywhere. And yet we all still watch it, because we just can’t stop. It’s just too damn enjoyable.
I’ve got a theory. I think that Tony is working “undercover” (heh) with Chickydoo on the Director Jenny’s orders. That’s why he didn’t sleep with her right off the bat and then asked Director Jenny if it was OK first.
And what is up with Director Jenny nosing in on all the investigations? She’s a political appointee responsible for thousands of workers around the world - she doesn’t have time to hassle Abby about testing stuff.
