Very talky, virtually no action.

There was the opening scenario, which unless I missed something, made no real sense.

Then we have 35 minutes of talking before we get to the action. This is over in less than five minutes, and we are back to talking again.

There are a few possibilities here, none of them mutually exclusive.

1) Daniela Ruah is pregnant again, and they have decided to make Kensi pregnant as well.

2) Linda Hunt is leaving the show.

3) The writer(s) are having a mid-life crisis, and decided to use the characters as therapy.

At least there was no cliff-hanger. Is that a spoiler?

The NCIS franchise is known for very limited character development. Maybe once every ten episodes you'd have five minutes devoted to the personal life of a character or couple. That's it.

Devoting 35 minutes to that today and 5 or so minutes to action was a mistake.

Not horrible, just the formula didn't work.

Soooo, it's season 11 and as with many shows fans start getting more and more bitter. Some episodes in later seasons don't always rise up to the occasion compared to episodes of the first few, but that isn't really anything that bothers me too much. It's people's apparent lack of patience when it comes to the last seasons of a tv show that winds me up, because that is the way great tv shows get cancelled. And who would want that??

You can't write a show that is in its 11th season the same way you wrote it when it was season 2! Because that, if anything, would be confusing and bad. When a show has gone this far, to its 11th season, you have to get experimental and focus on things that may be unfamiliar. If you don't, then the show will just become stagnant. Repeating the same over and over again, which can happen so easily with shows like NCIS.

Personally, I think the show has managed to breakt the mold to a certain extent this season and my rating for the season so far would be 8,5-9. I gave this episode a 9, because, the conversations were actually fairly interesting. The best one being between Callen and Sam. Seeing both of them go beyond their comfortzones (as did the episode), really felt like something was being added to their personality instead of just seeing them running into another explosion.

The conversation between Deeks and Kensi was okay. Perhaps a bit repetitive but still poignant to the point at which the characters are at the moment. The one that had some issues was the "Neric" one. It started out okay, but the whole scene about Nell's mother was unnecessary and yes, a bit "soap operish".

All in all, "Answers" written by Kyle Harimoto continued the experimental style of season 11 in a beneficial manner. With good writing and interesting contemplation on the character's futures it expanded the already existing knowledge that we, the fans, have of them and it was refreshing to see that the show can slow down for a while and do something different and unique.

Happy holidays everybody!

If you know someone for 11 years and you form a relationship what do you do? You discuss said relationship. If you had the same job/career for 11 years what do you do? You discuss your future; was I happy with my last 11 years in my job? What do I want to do in the future?

If you watched this series from season 1 episode 1 you will have no problem with it or at the very least shouldn't have any problems with it.

The only disappointment is no Christmas Party I saved this episode for Christmas day I didn't get to watch it on Christmas day and it turned out right in the end because no Christmas party!!! I guess when you have matters of the heart to discuss there is no time to party.

'Answers' slowed down the fast pace team. It should 3 pairs of people connected in 3 different ways. Eric and Nell discussed their relationship, Kensi, and Deeks shared their thoughts on the task of getting pregnant and Sam and Callen talk about either of them stepping up to be operations manager along with relationships.

This is an episode of die hard NCIS: Los Angeles fans. Well done I loved in. P.S. If there is season 12 bring back the Christmas Party.

This was the most pathetic episode - if you can call it that - that i have ever seen...and I have seen all of them. A terrorist attack in LA is imminent - like today and maybe right now - and the entire episode up until 6:22 seconds was wasted on an endless string of romantic etudes no one cares a wit about!!! What is wrong with you people? Run out of money? Bored? A combo?

Last episode mother had momentum: action, intensity, danger and at times horrible lines from the "son". This episode was total filler. I found myself tuning out many times except one part when the bad guys had a plan, many guns and explosives. But of course the team takes them down and Nell and Beale saying like "well that was a day" completely stole from any excitement. Most of the episode are the main characters talking about potentially moving on - was this attempt to tease or annoy the audience? Anyone watching all doesn't want to be pushed away from the characters they have become attached to. Anyone that sort of watches the show doesn't care who stays or goes. Was this episode just to make the season long enough to match previous seasons? I was so bored and I've gone back to watch from episode 1 season 1.

Goof; The visiting agent says he's "downloading" photos to the main NCIS group here. You Upload to send to someone. They download your files.
