Thanks for noticing all the stuff I missed, Seldon. This is why I had to do 2 viewings when I wrote my full-blown Observations.
Did you notice (I knew he looked familiar) that French Stewart - Third Rock From The Sun - was the prisoner? Those were my favorite scenes too. Tim being a "Beaver" totally went over my head. Good catch.

I'm not sure why, but I just never got into Third Rock. I've always liked Lithgow's work.You should look at that scene again - McGee gets a brief stunned look because he thinks the guy knew enough about him to know he went to MIT.
With all the discussion of what to tell Delilah, did anyone say anything about telling Tony? McGee and Delilah have probably been there a few months, but Tony spent many years sleeping over the mummy.

I loved that little 'oh crap' moment from Sean. It's a natural reaction for a person but a conscious choice for an actor. If it wasn't there, you wouldn't think twice about it. Even with the little reaction, most people don't think twice about. But it's the little things like that which make me feel like he's been underrated as an actor. Tim mentioned that he had called Tony earlier in the episode to tell him about the break in but didn't say anything about Tony after the mummy was discovered. If I were Tim, I'd definitely tell him! I'm pretty sure in the apartment where I used to live there was no soundproofing under the apartment above. It would depend on how old the building is and in DC there are plenty of century old buildings that probably hadn't been built with concrete. To me, it looked the floor was built like a deck with stringers and a wood deck above and below (for the wood floors in Tim's apartment and the plaster ceiling below.) It's mostly surprising that no one noticed the smell of the body. I had a mouse die in my laundry room and that little thing stunk up my entire basement. And no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find the thing to get rid of it! It was about a week before the smell went away and that was only a little tiny mouse!

Did anybody notice that Delilah keeps "Rosebud" in a cut out copy of "Deep Six". Watched it again tonight and noticed it.

FromDiane and David Munson (Former NCIS Agents) www.dianeanddavidmunson.com/2017-mar-07-critique-of-ncis-episode-what-lies-above/2017 Mar 07 – Critique of NCIS episode, ‘What Lies Above’Not bad. This was an entertaining show, but once again the first question is, did NCIS have jurisdiction to investigate a shooting in the apartment that Tony DiNozzo once occupied and where Tim McGee now lives with his fiancée Delilah. Some viewers might say there wasn’t jurisdiction, but what about “assault on a Federal Agent”? After all, McGee was shot at. He killed a burglar in his apartment while returning fire. Wrong! McGee wasn’t on duty at the time, and for an assault on a Federal Agent to be an actual crime, it has to happen during conduct of his official duties. In reality, the Washington Metropolitan police should have investigated. Aside from having the wrong investigators, the writers did a pretty good job. We were treated to some feisty drama among the team members. Director Vance is being courted, in more ways than one, by the Congresswoman we criticized in our previous blog. She wants Vance to run for Congress, and as she told Gibbs earlier, she desires for Gibbs to be elevated to the Director’s position. Why? And we have another question for you? What did y’all think about the constant debate between the NCIS team about whether McGee should ever tell Delilah about the never-ending murders in their apartment? Dave thinks the actor who played the part of Paul Triff, the convict serving time for three murders, did a good job. His acting and mannerisms were similar to those of a sociopath. In the end, Director Vance realizes he’s too honest and too blunt to be a politician, and because of his bluntness, the Congresswoman cuts him loose. So he and Gibbs will stay in the jobs for which they are both best suited. Diane kept thinking the Congresswoman was involved in the diamond heist as her interest was beyond realistic. Their relationship was meant to show the conflict between the career employees and the politicians, which can impact the pursuit of justice at times. On a final note, Diane has a message for McGee. Run and don’t walk away from that horrible apartment! Be Blessed, Diane and David Munson

I have to agree with Diane on that final point. Get out of Dodge as fast as possible. I can't imagine living in that apartment, especially after finding a body under the floor. Just not happening. 😱😱

In reality, the Washington Metropolitan police should have investigated. Aside from having the wrong investigators, the writers did a pretty good job. I have to disagree on that one. In spite of the places in the floor being ripped up, it wasn't initially known whether the crime was related to McGee's being a Federal Agent. If McGee (and his home) were targeted for reasons relating to his job, then jurisdiction would belong to NCIS. Besides, official or not, I doubt many law enforcement agencies sit back and let someone else handle it when one of their own is the victim.

I guess I'm made of sterner stuff. I'd take that DC apartment in a heartbeat if I could get it at a discount rate due to its history. Per my sister, who lived in Georgetown near the National Cathedral, before moving to Maryland (she works in DC) that 1 bed/1 bath apartment would go for upwards of 5grand a month - or more. The square footage alone, even if it was less beautiful (the totally upgraded kitchen) makes it in the very high rent range. (I think they backtracked - the lack of that show bible - that Tony owned the place. A condo not an apartment.)
