Season Nine: "Secrets"
Posted on Feb 15, 2012 12:52pm
I had been wanting to do an episode about the Real Life Superhero Movement for quite some time. But I also wanted to keep my job. So I didn’t. But eventually, my lack of good sense overcame me, and I ran the idea by our showrunner, Gary Glasberg. I was pleased when he didn’t fire me. I was even more pleased when he told that Wendy would be returning for my episode. I mean Wendy…and superheroes? This thing was going to write itself!
It didn’t.
But that’s okay, I’m used to it by now. But there were a few interesting knots to untangle in writing this episode. One, how to bring Wendy organically into the story so she didn’t feel like a third wheel. Two, how to deal with the Superheroes respectfully – something that was important to me.
The Wendy Question was fairly easy to answer (well, after I had the answer, at least). She simply had left her teaching days behind her and had became a reporter – one with a prior working relationship with the DGW (Dead Guy of the Week).
As for the superheroes, that was a little trickier. After all, they wear funny costumes. They have funny names. They do some pretty crazy things. But if you understand what makes them tick…it doesn’t seem crazy at all. And, of course, it’s Donald “Ducky” Mallard who peeks inside their psychic clocks and tells us what time it is.
And speaking of clocks, I think our wardrobe department probably wanted to clean mine when they read this script. I think there was something like 8 superhero costumes they needed to create from scratch - making sure not to step on any copyrighted toes. Needless to say, I think they did a fantastic job. And maybe even had some fun once the shock wore off. I’m not exactly sure which costume was my favorite…but suffice it to say I have about half a dozen pictures of me and Allison McAtee (who did a fantastic job playing Spandaxia). Also, a special shout-out to Kevin Christy (aka ICU) and Lombardo Boyar (aka Felix Quintero aka Soulless). Those guys were as funny when the camera wasn’t rolling as when it was.
And last, but not least, Perrey Reeves, who played Tony’s old fiancée, Wendy. I was stoked when I heard she accepted the role, and thrilled when I actually saw her performing it. Pitch perfect. In fact, the whole cast really did a fantastic job. I hope you all agree.

In effetti devo dire che avevo parecchi dubbi anch'io su questo episodio, invece mi e' piaciuto molto, mi sono davvero divertita. Carina la trovata dei supereroi, sulla quale avevo tanti dubbi, carina anche l' entrata di Wendy, sulla quale avevo ancora piu' dubbi, il personaggio e' simpatico e ha interagito benissimo con tutti. Prendendo spunto dalle parole di ducky(bellissimo il discorso che fa a Tony
) per me piu' che un ritorno di fiamma per Tony aver rivisto Wendy puo' aiutarlo a superare il fatto che lei lo aveva lasciato, togliendogli la fiducia in se stesso e di conseguenza la voglia di una relazione seria. Spero che anche per lui sia un passo in avanti. Comunque stanno facendo un bellissimo lavoro sui personaggi in questa stagione.
Abby fortissima vestita da gatto, ma la scena piu' divertente e' quando si fa la foto con i supereroi e Spandaxia le fa' i complimenti per il costume

Svista clamorosa. Ieri mi sono scordata di dire qual'è, per me, forse la miglior battutta dell'ep.
Vance è nel suo ufficio con Wendy e arriva Gibbs
Vance: Agent Gibbs, I'd like you to meet....You two know each other?
Gibbs lo guarda e alza le sopracciglia Oh please, tell me that you weren't married.
Gibbs: No....but we go back
Vance: Good. That should makes things easier
occhiata di Wendy Or worse
La battuta di Vance e' stata fulminante, erano secoli che vance non era piacevole, qui invece se ne esce con questa battuta e con la seguente alla fine in cui chiama Gibbs Cupido(e come al solito McGee non ci arrivaXD)
e poi Gibbs nel ruolo del destino
e il suo saluto a Clarence
Tra l'altro mi e' piaciuto anche il caso ed e' stata anche una delle poche volte che non avevo capito chi fosse il colpevole
in NewBorn King e' cioe' che era stato Tony che non sapeva come conciliare famiglia e lavoro, forse mi sto rimbambendo. Comunque episodio leggerino e divertente ma la parte migliore e' cio' che dice Ducky a Tony : "Your pain was clear to me as Jethro's. He lost Shannon, the one love of his life, and you lost faith in yourself for so many reasons... You repeatedly chase the wrong woman. You're alone because you never did - as you just said - put it all behind you."
Brividi. Da paura 
anche io l'ho vista esattamente nello stesso modo
