I missed the first 9 minutes so I was not that thrilled with it...I was not impressed by anyone's performance...and I wanted to slap Abbey. She acted like a child again..

random thoughts on this episode:
1. since when does LJG watch anything on his old tv but black & white cowboy movies? and he and Ducky just happen to be watching the same antiques show? yeah, right! but apparently Gibbs "never misses it"...
2. wayyyy too much attention on broken staplers...who cares? I've owned the same staplers for decades! they never break! so, Bishop buys an old stapler that only uses "antique staples" that she had to order from Germany? seriously?!? here's an idea: go buy a stapler and staples at the Dollar Store, you dummy!
3. Abby is all bent out of shape cause Kasie won't talk to her? back to acting like a silly school girl...
4. imho, the "heir to the Abby throne" overacted the part; the character seemed forced, contrived, and, of course, she's "a hugger"! she compares Abby to the Beatles?! oh, pleeeeeasse!
5. at the storage unit: how fortunate - and time saving - for Gibbs and Bishop that the box containing the war stick was clearly marked "ANCIENT WAR STICK" while all the other boxes were only marked "FRAGILE"...
6. back door wide open to Roy's shop and Bishop walks right on thru... no hesitation, no weapon drawn - no brains used!
7. the actor who played Finn's "didn't really have a beer" buddy has got to have one of the ugliest scruffy beards I have ever seen on a guy! shave that thing off, dude!!
8. the crimes and the killer: another poor excuse for a p.o.s. case - and a story line...
Conclusion: guess who gave this episode an F?

Surely the stapler was a shout out to Tony's stapler episode? They have been doing lots of little cameo back episodes throughout the season. BTW I still have a "Tony" stapler on my desk at work, just not the same colours as his. It is a staple less stapler, it just nicks the paper and bends it over, okay for just two or three sheets of paper. I would also have thought the fact they voiced how the new girl was avoiding Abby would have had people saying "this is how Gibbs and Abby, read Mark and Pauley, have been with each other this season". Other than the "baddie" being the new girl for some family reason, it had to be who it was, since no one else was really in the episode. Was anyone waiting for Gibbs to say the glove was not the baseball players? I enjoyed seeing Ducky again and we know he is returning soon.

I wasn't impressed either. It seems to me like they are trying to hard for whatever. I will say this though, I thought that the actress did a good job with what she was given.

Well, this one wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It was just there. So I gave it a C. I suppose part of the problem might have been that the case wasn't that compelling. I did like the part where Gibbs found a part to his Dad's old razor. It was a nice call back to Jackson and his time in the military. At least one of the pin up girls in the footlocker was Mark's mom, Elyse Knox:

Well...well...well... OK so I'm undecided about the episode. It had its moments; some good, some not so good. Please tell me they aren't going to get Gibbs and Jack together. Yuck. I presume the new girl that is Ducky's GA is going to replace Abby. Well...well... It is good, however, to see Ducky back again.

It can easily be shut down for anyone who’s tired of the show. I believe there’s a zero % chanc of CBS pulling the plug on the still number one drama on TV.

Anybody besides me slighty worried about Roseanne going on opposite NCIS?

My 2 cents:
I enjoyed the episode. I really liked Kasie, and I pegged right away that she was intimidated by Abby. Jethro being able to pick up a cable-only show on his old tube analog tv was a stretch, and I agree with Kasie that the show is a time suck (or whatever term she used - my spouse watches it incessantly), but I could see it being a shared interest between Jethro and Ducky. Mike Wolf giving the warclub a kiss goodbye was a bit weird. As for the staplers - I agree it was a good homage to Tony. I had a stapler just like Bishop's "new" one (it was my dad's). It takes standard Swingline staples. I wish I had kept it - it was a warhorse!

not in the slightest...
it must be the trend to revive shows that have been gone for years... Will and Grace came back, too, but for the life of me I can't find it's new day/time... not that it matters - I wasn't a fan of the show in it's first go round... same with Roseanne - no interest...

Hope you're right. I didn't like either of them in the original version, either.

Given the number of channels springing up that specialize in moldy old TV shows, can anyone explain why hollyweird keeps trying to revive old TV and movies? Is the industry running out of original ideas?

Nope. Limited run re-boot and not a full-season (Johnny Galecki has another job and so does Sarah Gilbert - she's on the new CBS show Living Biblically). I may catch it CBS All Access later on.
