‘NCIS’ season 12, episode 9 preview: Extended look at Jamie Bamber, Emily Wickersham in ‘Grounded’
Today, “NCIS” unveiled their longer promo for Tuesday night’s new episode entitled “Grounded,” and based on what we have for you below, this is going to be a very different episode than most of the others this season.
For one, we almost hope that almost all of it is set at the Dulles airport. It’s a chance for the show to mix things up a little bit, and 12 seasons into a show, you really need to figure out some ways to stand out a little bit.
Also, it feels like there is some potential for great comedy here. Basically, it is Tony (Michael Weatherly), Bishop (Emily Wickersham), and her husband Jake (Jamie Bamber) all trying to do what they can to solve a crisis in the middle of an airport with plenty of other problems. What happens when a travel hub shuts down operations right before a holiday? There are so many angry people that it almost puts Black Friday at Walmart to shame.
We’ve had a few pretty serious episodes of “NCIS” in a row now, so we’re down for one that makes us smile and a laugh a little more. Also, Tony says it himself when calling Jake “elusive.” Despite hearing about this guy for a while, we haven’t seen him until now! We’re pretty sure that Bamber is going to have a few more appearances on the show in him, as well.
For those of you wondering of there is going to be a Christmas episode this year to go along with this one themed around Thanksgiving, don’t worry: We’re going to have one of those, as well.

Jamie Bamber is awesome. Can’t wait to see him with Weatherly. I’m sure he will steal the show and outshine his TV wife in his very first episode.

he seems a nice guy – He and Michael Weatherly should be good
together. The first time in a long time Weatherly has a decent co-star that will actually look him in the eye while he talks to him. Novel that.

Well, since it has become the super Gibbs show every single week, we’ll have to see if tptb can suck it up and let Jamie Bamber, Ellie, or Tony actually shine. After all, so far season 12 has proven to be not so much NCIS – about a team of capable devoted federal agents, but rather the super amazing Gibbs show – a program about a nearly flawless yet tragic human being who selflessly devotes himself to criminal injustices and his flawed and needy co-workers, who can barely function without his caring and sage advise. (Where’s that puking emoticon when you need it)?

I’m sad that we finally get an episode where Tony might get to do something besides click the clicker and it is described as “light”. Why won’t they let Weatherly have any drama or danger anymore? I’ve gotten so weary of seeing him played as the disrespected joke while Gibbs and McGee get all the drama and danger. I really wish they’d mix it up and spread the love.

Maybe Michael would like to see Cote back too. I noticed a couple of posts on his twitter that mention her and last Easter showed a pic of the two of them together. Also only recently do you see pics of Tony and Bishop together. I don’t think he has anything against Emily as a person but I do think he “misses his friend” and it shows. TPTB probably don’t like that. And that’s my conspiracy theory for today. lol
