The UC Theatre, Berkeley, CA, 12/31/23

As I was about to board my flight from Portland down to Oakland who should run up - after boarding was well in progress - but Amanda Fucking Palmer herself, with a large bag from Powell’s Books over her shoulder, which is so on-brand it’s not even funny. The whole crew was on the same flight with me. Cosmic coincidences.

The inimitable Kat Robichaud dominated as Mistress of Ceremonies, and she brought along some friends from the Misfit Cabaret, so this promised to be a great night from the start.

Kat kicked things off with her original song Charade, then The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence provided a series of short, pithy blessings for the new year that managed to be funny, touching, and queer in equal measure.

Snatch Adams did an amazing burlesque routine involving a leaf blower and a giant balloon that she somehow got completely inside … and then removed her clothes.

Another original from Kat, and an extremely sexy dance from Aurora Rose, and it was time for the Dresden Dolls.

In 2017 Amanda did an NYE show a week after having a miscarriage and barely made it through the show. This show was similarly performed amidst some personal tragedy. Amanda had just learned that a good friend from New Zealand - whom she was actually en route to go visit - had died suddenly and tragically. And the longtime landlord / den mother of the artist collective Cloud Club, where Amanda “grew up” as an artist, was in hospice on his death bed (he passed early on the 2nd). While she did talk about this a little on stage for the most part she just powered through and delivered a killer show.

My favorite way to ring in the new year is with Amanda and/or the Dolls, and this show went a long way towards explaining why. Flamboyantly talented people providing astounding spectacle; who could ask for anything more? Halfway through the show my friend Nikki turned to me and said, “I can’t imagine being happier than I am right now!” I couldn’t agree more.

Annotated Set List:

Good Day (Brian on guitar to start)

Sex Changes

Gravity

Modern Moonlight

My Alcoholic Friends

Shores of California

Welcome to the Internet (Bo Burnham cover) - Before this song Amanda often asks, “Are there any young people in the audience?” and she typically chooses one to serenade during the ‘Waiting for YOOOOOU!’ bridge. Tonight this turned into a bit of a bidding war in which we started at 18 and worked our way down to 5. At one point Brian became an auctioneer, “I’ve got 16 here do I hear 15? 14! 14 going once, can I get … 13 over here!”

Mandy Goes to Med School

Amanda said she wanted to repeat the collective primal scream they had done last NYE, and while that’s true the tradition actually started at the very first solo show Amanda did in the States post COVID in August of ‘22.

“Close your eyes, and on the count of three I would like you to scream as loudly as possible to release the good, the bad, the ugly, the better, the unfulfilled, the loneliness, the whatever you fucking went through last year it’s now gone and you’ve got about an hour to sit with it if you wanna be sad or happy and then it’s all gonna go away and we’re gonna go into 2024 into a bucket of unicorn dreams!”

PRIMAL SCREAM!!

Mister God

Amanda said that she and Whitney had come up with a working title for the new Dresden Dolls album: Downer Bangers (“That was my nickname in high school!” quipped Nikki.)

“I found out this morning that a really good friend of mine from New Zealand just died really suddenly and tragically, and I’m in the middle of losing someone else in my life, and it’s just one of those days where you’re like, ‘This is happening, and I still have to play a show.’ This has happened to me enough that I know how to do it, but I’ve gotta tell you that it’s still really weird to get up in front of everybody while I’m going through what I’m going through. And here’s the great thing about being in the Dresden Dolls: I have a song for that! So I’m gonna play it.”

Houdini

Another Christmas (Brian on guitar, Amanda on jingle bells)

Amsterdam (Jacques Brel cover) (Brian on guitar, Amanda on beer) - At the beginning of the second stanza Amanda lost track of the lyrics. “In the port of Amsterdam, there’s a sailor who … ”

“Dies!” I helpfully yelled

“Dies … sorry, Tom.”

Hey don’t apologize to me; I live for this shit!

Missed Me - Brian has taken to really going all out on this one, often performing entire melodramatic vignettes. Tonight he just … left. Got up, left the stage, disappeared. He has played with briefly “leaving” during this song, but this time he was just gone. And Amanda had no idea what was going on. She was talking to the crowd - he’s really gone, I’m all alone, what do I do? sort of thing - when a large, potted plant crept up behind her. As Brian was creeping about the stage hiding behind the plant like a cartoon villain Amanda said, “This is the same guy who during soundcheck was like, ‘Let’s keep the intro really short.’” The antics went on so long that Amanda got flustered and got confused about where they were in the song. She looked at me and asked, “Is this right?” I gave her a big thumbs up.

Backstabber

Astronaut (A Brief History of Nearly Nothing) (Amanda Palmer cover)

Mrs. O - Quick restart after Amanda thought she detected a medical issue in the crowd, something that happened at both the LA and SD shows earlier in the month. It was a false alarm, and the band played on.

Delilah (featuring Kat Robichaud AND Whitney Moses (the OG!)) - Double Delilahs for double the pathos. Before starting Amanda entreated the crowd to sing along. “I want you to sing this song tonight for someone who needs it. And that someone might be you.”

Sing - Amanda was keeping one eye on the clock and the tempo on this one was a bit faster than normal so they could get it in before …

MIDNIGHT! Balloon drop! General pandemonium!

(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!) (Beastie Boys cover) - Everyone on stage!

Coin-Operated Boy

War Pigs (Black Sabbath cover)

WAIT I GOT AN IDEA

Make a "choose Nikki's outfit" poll but it's different polls for different categories (shoes, pants, accessories) and the highest ranking item of each category gets put on Nikki and. That's her outfit. No matter how misfitting (is that a word?) It looks

Run to Paradise {Nikki Sixx} Part 37

37. bare so much hate for the ones we love

Summary: lola tells tommy the truth, but plays the bad guy for the sake of his relationship with heather.

Warnings: angst, discussions of manipulation and infidelity

ragtag bunch of misfits: @starlalove @xrosegoldwolfx @ksjo @lovehelpmewrite @letsxmcfrickenloseit @glitterdreamsz @freddiessmallnipples @crazysaladchopshop @dramatique-moi @calspixie @catsoo12 @sweetshutter @silvertonguedserpent @shamelessobsessions @lavenderbones22 @keepcalm-and-beyou @scarecrowmax @nicholeh7 @unknownoblivion @sighsophiia @fruitinthebottom @misscharlottelee @local-troubled-writer @talktowallpaper @redlipscrystalskies14 @kaitieskidmore1 @shugarsnaps @m-1234

{ MASTERLIST }

For all that Lola's played the villain, she's never done it quite like this, never so deliberately, and never with such good intentions. Relatively speaking. Maybe she should have told Tommy her plan beforehand, but all considered, she knew the hopeless romantic wouldn't let her fall on this grenade alone.

When she asks Tommy to visit, she insists he bring Heather too. Heather wasn't exactly thrilled, but at least she agreed to come; small miracles.

After the initial greetings and obligatory small talk, Lola asks to speak to Heather alone. Both Tommy and Heather are hesitant to agree, but Lola is imploring and pregnant and there's still the faintest guilt the pair feel regarding her OD's proximity to their wedding, so finally they oblige.

So Lola, sober and with years of second hand PR training in the back of her head, and having vastly expanding her lexicon after months of actual therapy, tells Heather about the night she slept with Tommy, less than a month before their wedding. Lola twists her words and implications with hindsight, weaving a story and a web of lies where she'd seduced Tommy intentionally by playing the victim, that she'd preyed on his good heart in her own time of weakness, and the regret Tommy had felt in the aftermath. Lola's own regret and guilt were left out of the retelling; she was not looking for forgiveness for herself, she simply wanted to cause one of the few people she truly loved as little pain as possible, and that meant she had to be the villain of this story.

"Why the hell would you tell me this? I know he loves you, okay?" Heather hisses with tears in her eyes. Lola's had this fight before; Heather even looks a bit like Sharise.

"Tommy loves everyone, that's my point," Lola fires back sharply, "and I used that against him, knowing-" Lola's voice catches for a moment and her gaze drops; Nikki's voice is an old echo in her head but she fights to ignore it, "knowing how happy you make him. I was jealous and alone and- and- and I think I missed before, when I had the whole band wrapped around my little finger. I knew it would hurt him but I didn't- at the time I was so fucked I didn't care. I'm sorry; you are well within your rights to never forgive me, but I still owe you an apology."

A long silence fills the space between them both; Lola can't look up from her hands.

"Your kid is his, isn't it?" Heather's betrayed tone is watery, crying silently across from Lola, "that's why you're telling me all this shit."

"He doesn't know," Lola murmurs faintly, "and I didn't want you to hate him for it."

"He's a fucking idiot but you're a fucking monster," Heather spits, tone so sharp Lola actually flinches. Her fidgeting fingers curling into themselves reflexively and grow still, "but it's still his kid." Heather stands sharply, hands braced on the table. After a beat, she sighs deeply and heads to the door of the side room Lola'd been graciously given for the visiting time.

At the door Lola hears her call for Tommy, and tiredly informs him that she was heading back to their hotel, and that they'd need to talk once he got back. But she kisses him with a kind of tenderness that sets Lola's anxious heart to rest for the time being, at least until Tommy closes the door behind himself and asks what Lola had said to his wife.

And Lola is honest in a way that makes Tommy look ill, stating candidly that she had told Heather about how they slept together a month before his wedding. He's in the seat across from her practically whining, asking why she would do that, and Lola takes a moment and a deep breath.

"I told her I seduced you, that I was lonely and played the victim and manipulated your good nature -"

"Lols, that night you didn't- you said -"

"I know," unlike with Heather, Lola can't break eye contact with Tommy; he's always been safe, even now, she'd never cut herself on a look he's given her, "I know what I said, and I promise I never wanted any of this, I never wanted to do something that would end up causing you any sort of pain-" Lola insists, "and if there was any other way I could have kept that between us I promise I would have -" her words catch, truth feeling like it was about to choke her, "I'm tired of being a homewrecker, Tommy, but this was the only option I could think of where- where- where-"

"Where she didn't end up hating me," Tommy's voice is so soft and rich with sudden understanding, it's enough to set off Lola's waterworks.

"Stop looking at me like that," Lola's voice trembled as she finally ducked her gaze, "you stupid motherfucker stop looking at me like you still love me!" Lola sobbed loudly now, hunching in on herself, arms wrapped around her bowed head, shaking and shuddering as she cried, "Heather makes you happy!"

"Lola," his voice is so gentle, as is the way he carefully rests his hand on one of hers, "you make me-"

"Don't you fucking dare," Lola grits her teeth and looks up; there's a heartbroken fury in her eyes, in her razor sharp words, "after everything that's happened and everything we've been through, after you followed through and married Heather, can you fucking please not keep stringing me along like this?"

Tommy let's her go. His expression falls; he stammers out half-apologies but Lola cuts him off with a deep, loud sigh.

"I'm okay with being your friend, but I'm Heather's villain and if you love her you can't keep loving me, or letting me love you like this; if things were different I'd probably try and let you go completely, but I can't," and finally Lola sits back, looking Tommy in the eyes with her cheeks tear-stained, "because this kid is yours."

"Oh."

Tommy is unreadable.

He's looking her in the eyes, but for the first time since she's known him, Lola has absolutely no idea what he's thinking or feeling in this moment.

And he leaves without another word, and one of the nurses finds Lola at the end of visitation, still in the side room, crying her eyes out.

It's a new and horrible kind of radio silence that follows, the kind where she's been allowed to do the business side of the band's management from her rehab, and Zutaut has hired a stand in manager to go with the band on their upcoming tour. With all that she knows about what they're doing, the contact with them is sporadic at best.

Nikki calls the most, but his calls are always brief. Vince's calls are always late, when Lola's awake but his own daughter isn't, and Lola will let him vent about the band and the tour like the others won't put up with. Mick will only call if he has a professional question or concern, but he always asks how she is.

And she's getting better day by day, but Tommy never calls.

Her stay at the facility last the entirety of her pregnancy at her own request, stable and self aware enough now that she wasn't to be trusted in these last few months. It means that despite the life Lola had chosen to live before, her daughter is born miraculously healthy.

Lola calls Athena, Tommy's sister, and asks if it would be appropriate, if Tommy would hate her for it, if the family would be okay with it-

She's got his eyes, just as Tommy was born with his father's before him, and Tommy's mother, Vassiliki, cries with joy the first time she holds her granddaughter, Vassilisa Carlotta Lee, named in her honour.

MUNCHFLIX - THE DIRT 1.25

IMDB BLURB: Based on the bestselling autobiography from Mötley Crüe, the film is an unflinching tale of success and excess as four misfits rise from the streets of Hollywood to the heights of international fame.

WARNINGS: Sex, so much sex. Boobs. Graphic depictions of drug use. Horrible 80s hair. Pete Davidson. We’re fucking dumb.

RATING: You don’t know fuckin’ shit about Motley Crue.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: All reviews are done solely for humor and should not be taken seriously ever. If you cannot handle cursing, crude humor and probably some offensive things, pls do not read this.

Munch: The absolute shit I do for you. This movie had better slap ass because I really don't like Motley Crue and I don't think they're hot and there had better be some shit to make fun of. Like Motley Crue. I really hope I get to make fun of Motley Crue. I'm gonna start right now by making fun of the way they spelled Motley Crue like a bunch of fucking edgelords.

Biscuits "How many calories are in tequila" Horrorslash: where the hell is my shotglass??!? WHOO YEAH BABEY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! This movie gave Motley Crue a huge resurgence in popularity. Everyone saw it and was like - my poor little meow meows uwu. Like - if by that you mean four feral cats let loose in your house screeching and pissing everywhere then yeah.

M: So we open with a little intro to the 80's and people are fucking and ...squirting...publicly....and I'm about to make Biscuits write this entire thing himself.

B: What did you really expect? Nikki is narrating and he has a sad backstory so everyone gets to slobber over him.

M: I'm not picking sides. I don't think any of them are cute. Why does Nikki's dad look like Charles Manson? He's very mouthy for like....a 10 year old? Nikki cuts his arm with a knife to blame his shit ass mom for it.

B: It is based on a book so it's them retelling their own rock star backstories, so take this with as many inches of dick as we're gonna assign to them. So Tommy gets like 8 and a half and Nikki gets like 3.

M: I'm not gonna ask how you know how big everyone's dick is.

B: These men have shown many parts of themselves. Tommy was naked like 90 percent of the time. Also that was a joke, I’m not even saying it’s accurate.

M: I still don't wanna know. So Frank Jr is now Nikki Sixx because he grew up and shit.

Frank Jr.? But he’s just a little girl!

M: Now Tommy is narrating? He comes from like...super suburban normal life. His family is like super normal and healthy. Except Tommy.

B: Tommy Lee was really attractive when he was young. He's the youngest! Tommy and Nikki meet in a diner and they're like - we should totally be in a band and fuck girls in the vicinity of each other! Or just touch tips. Nikki is like - my new band is gonna be so cool! I'm gonna get like 4 rabid raccoons together and just turn em loose on a stage! They find a guitarist but he's shitty and they hate him.

M: Who's this dude? (Mick Mars, he's gonna be the guitarist.) He doesn't like Tommy's old band, they suck. Mick Mars is a dick, jesus. He's like - I am the best guitarist EVAR.

B: Mick Mars is a better guitarist than most people. I have some respect for him, unlike the other members of the band. He's got ankylosing spondylitis and he can walk in heels and play guitar better than I probably ever will. So the band has picked up an old man with bone disease.

M: That's pretty fucking hardcore tho, no wonder he's such a dick. Chronic pain does shit to a person. They are looking for some random skinny dude with attitude to sing in the band. The requirements are so low here.

B: Tommy is giving off major Bill and Ted vibes.

M: They find what I assume Vince Neil singing at a pool party and they're like - HE IS SURROUNDED BY BABES we must take him. This guy looks nothing like Vince Neil.

People ask me - “What don’t you like about Motley Crue music?” I say, “The sound.”

B: Tommy speaks at 300 words per second. Vince is doing coke with his girlfriend because it was the 80's and everyone did cocaine except Jon Bon Jovi.

M: He's not even a rock star yet. This is the most haphazard getting a band together I've ever heard of. They're just like HEY WE ARE A BAND NOW AND WE'RE GONNA GET SO LAID!

B: Vince's girlfriend is just gonna stand there.

M: She's already trying to manage the band but they're gonna shut her down with the power of BUTTROCK!

B: Tommy Lee has the energy of a crackhead even when he's not high. He's lighting cockroaches on fire with hairspray. Nikki has a whole notebook full of doodles of pentagrams and shitty band names. That's just me. I have that same notebook.

M: Why is Mick the only sane member of this band?

B: He doesn't have the energy to do like all the fucked up shit, he's too tired. Vince looks like 80's coked up hooker barbie.

The bass player is the loser of the band, yes he is - if you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with!

M: I guess they're playing a gig now? Or not. Vince and co are already kicking people's asses before a note has been sung.

B: They're throwing hands. And everyone is like - FUCK YEAH THIS BAND RULES! THEY JUST BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE! I'd like to state for the record that my stenographer is refusing to type out some of the things I am saying. She's becoming more of a lesbian every second.

M: Number 1 - I am not your stenographer. 2 - you can edit in whatever you want but I am typing RIGHT NOW, 3 - I really am. Wtf is going on in the movie?

B: A montage of them doing gigs. That's Pete Davidson! They haven't been signed yet tho so I guess that's where Pete comes in. There's probably gonna be even more sex scenes in this movie.

M: There's already been like four!

B: THICK ASS. I almost put my hands on the table and howled like a wolf.

M: You'll be glad later that I left so many things out. So now Pete is talking to them and there's some chick under the table giving random blow jobs but he doesn't want one.

B: And now more violence!

M: Mick Mars just straight up Deadpools us by talking directly to the camera and he is now my favorite member of Motley Crue, at least in this movie.

He’s hip, he’s cool, he’s 45

B: Nikki doesn’t like Kiss. I like Kiss. Munch doesn't even like Kiss! What DO you like?? What do you listen to that's so great!?? Kate Bush? Bruno Mars or some shit?

M: You need more alcohol. I just don't fuckin' like BUTTROCK.

B: GLAM METAL. Buttrock is deragatory.

M: It's meant to be. Vince is somehow fucking yet another girl. How does he have time in his day for this. Pete talks to the camera and tells us not to leave our girlfriend alone with Motley Crue because they'll fuck her.

B: Probably good advice. Just a bunch of dudes in leather and studs and makeup. Just dudes being guys.

M: It was a very straight thing to do in the 80's.

B: I don't think that's the original track. That's not Vince singing...ugh. (disclaimer: read to the end for the SHOCKING TRUTH!)

M: How you even noticed that...and now for some good old fashioned SATANIC PANIC! And the band comparing how many women they've fucked. Once again Mick proves to be the only human being in the group. Who I think is supposed to be Ozzy in a dress comes around with money sticking out of his ass. Ozzy snorts...ants.

B: And pisses on the concrete. Both seem entirely like something Ozzy would do. Then licks it up. Oh Tommy sounds like he liked that

M: WHY AM I BEING MADE TO WATCH THIS. Ozzy is licking up Nikki's piss now. An aside from Doc says what we're all thinking.

B: Is this the indecent exposure incident??

M: Which one????

B: The one where Tommy was running through a hotel naked and some people got mad about it. And they arrested Mick instead.

M: Doc says they did stupid shit because they were Motley Crue. And now the mud wrestling sequence.

B: They're acting like Vince was the most horny dude. Maybe he was but like - these other guys are also horny. Vince is like - Sharice you're my girl, move in with me, I won't fuck as many women. I was about to ask how these dudes had the energy to fuck this much but then oh yeah! Cocaine!

They’re soooo together!

M: Tommy is introducing people to his family and new fiancee? He has a few of them. Tommy's mom is SAVAGE. Tommy is coming across like a 12 year old with too much freedom.

B: That is basically accurate. 3 middle school boys and their dad who drinks a lot.

M: Tommy and his new fiancee are having some...difficulties.

B: This is not the last time Tommy will hit a woman. He had a bit of a temper.

M: I feel like you don't really need to watch this. You already are like...a Motley Crue historian.

B: Oh we're just gonna drive drunk and leave Vince's pregnant wife here, I sure hope nothing bad happens!

M: Oh yeah I forgot Tommy and Heather Locklear were a thing.

B: "I love you." Tommy Lee to every woman he meets. It's the drummer from Hanoi Rocks in the car with Vince I think. And now death. This really did happen and yes he was drunk and yes that man died.

M: But it's fine because they're in Motley Crue.

B: Whoops! Uh oh. Oopsie Daisy. That man is dead. And it's your fault, Vince.

All the girls want to know - who’s the cutest boy on death row?

M: VINCE GETS 30 DAYS FOR MURDERING A DUDE. Wtf. Nikki is very sad that Vince is in jail but it's okay because he's on heroin now and Biscuits is never ever gonna have a heroin addiction because he can't stand needles.

B: I can't even inject my own testosterone! And that doesn't even have to go into my veins! Vince has returned from uh...killing a guy.

M: Is he sober now?

B: Supposedly. No nevermind he's immediately snorting cocaine. And vomiting.

M: Oh he's snorting smack, no wonder he's sick. Nikki keeps blaming Vince for fucking up the band when he's busy injecting heroin every other scene. And missing repeated calls from his sad mother. Tommy Lee is in love every five minutes in this movie. Vince now has a kid I guess but she doesn't seem to like him much?

B: Well.....Theatre of Pain, are they gonna show Theatre of Pain Tommy Lee because I might have to take a break.

M: That's between you and jesus. Tommy Lee gives a life on the road montage where he shows everyone getting wasted and performing and then getting wasted again. Drink, snort and fuck everything in sight. It's a wonder they lived this long tbh.

B: All four of them are still alive actually!

M: It's honestly a miracle. This is hard to like...narrate because it's so chaotic. It's just like - watching a band go bonkers and slowly self destruct. (disclaimer: read til the end for the SHOCKING TRUTH about why it was so hard to narrate!)

B: That's the beauty of it all! It's 4th of July, we're recording this, well not recording it, but you know. There’s fireworks outside and fireworks on the screen. Nikki has mommy issues! Oh poor little meow meow. Come sit on my lap poor little meow meow!

M: People are gonna take you seriously.

B: I was joking there. Like 70 percent. 80 percent. Oh my god, not in your neck Nikki, ew.

M: I guess Tommy is getting married. Nikki is wasted as fuck.

B: You've got more opportunities Tommy! You'll have several more happiest days of your life! Nikki can't even put his suit jacket on. This your man? This your boy? Somebody come get him. Nikki Sixx did a LOT of heroin.

M: 1000 dollars a day is a lot of heroin.

B: Is this the part where he died?

M: You're the Motley Crue historian.

B: I'm not sure if this is that time when he overdosed or if he's just normal shooting up heroin. Wtf did you give him, I gave him heroin!

M: I'm guessing that's an overdose.

Hey guys...Kyle’s dead!

B: Nikki went to the great beyond! But he came back!

M: This was apparently before naxolo...naxostuff.

B: I think that's just adrenaline. I was happy, but I kept doing heroin! That's how drugs work, kids. Oh my god, they didn't need to show the vein thing more than once.

M: Well it's a good message to kids watching this. Drugs are gross. They will turn you into a bleeding arm gross man-thing. Now they're sober and shit and they hate each other.

B: They can't stand to be around each other when they're not high. They all had massive prima donna egos.

M: Hardly a shock. But they're all good clean boys now. Trying to have family lives and shit. And hating each other. A lot more. Vince is going to be a huge dick about this. He wants to have FUN. I really enjoy's Mick's little asides. He's just kind of in the background with his fucking vodka like - these dudes are all idiots.

B: Vince's wife left him. And he left the band.

M: If Pearl Jam is here their career is almost over anyway.

B: And then the 90's happened! It was a bad time for Motley Crue. Big manly rocker boy egos clash! I don't like you guys anymore! We're gonna get a new singer! John uh....Corabi. But they don't have a blonde guy anymore so it's never gonna work.

M: You can't have a buttrock band without a blonde guy!

B: Oh yeah Vince's daughter died of cancer, I forgot about that.

M: WHAT. That's super fucked up. Nobody likes new Motley Crue without Vince. He was kinda one of those unique voices. JohnBoy out here like WHOO I'M IN A ROCK BAND! He's about to be so disappointed.

Someone's gonna get a punch in the head. Who d'ya thinks gonna get a punch in the head?

B: There's a whole crowd of people out here booing you!

M: Everything is going to Motley Hell. Vince's kid is dying, Mick isn't looking so hot, Tommy's Heather is leaving him, Nikki is just sulking.

B: Yeah we had a good ride, except for all the drugs and you know...death, and crime...and punishment...Vince's kid, yeah she died. Nikki visits his dad's grave.

M: And meets a half brother he didn't know he had?? What the fuck is this shit

B: Oh he means a FAMILY! He needs a family!

M: His own MOTLEY CREW. NIkki and Tommy make up and touch tips and go out to find Mick who is looking more and more like death warmed over every day. But to be fair, he's got a condition.

B: We're getting the band back together, even though they just broke up. Vince, we love you man. You're our blonde man, man. There may be a million other slutty blonde men out there but you're OUR slutty blonde guy. Sometimes a family is four dudes who do drugs.

M: They're gonna go perform again I guess? Long slow dramatic walk to the stage.

B: Maybe the real treasure...the REAL MOTLEY CRUE is the friends we made along the way! And some tasteful ass shots!

“ One day you’ll look back on this as the best time in your life.” “ I sure hope not!”

M: Priorities. I guess they played together for another 20 years for some fucking reason.

B: Until 2015 but...They're doing a stadium tour like...as we speak.

M: Why. I don't really have anything to add. Biscuits just hurt himself headbanging. Oh my god. I just realized I forgot to turn the speed down and we just watched that entire movie at 1.25 speed. No wonder Tommy Lee was talking so fast.

B: *chokes to death on laughter* I can't believe we did that.

M: That's so fucking funny.

B: It's so on brand. I THOUGHT the songs sounded weird!! Holy fuck, oh my god. I don't even have any closing thoughts now because that's so fucking funny. Closing thoughts: we are two of the dumbest people who've ever lived.

@plotweaver replied: Headcanons: do Eddie's rings have meaning? If so, what are they?

I feel like a lot of Eddie’s style choices are aesthetic-based rather than deliberately meaningful, if that makes sense? He’s got this edgy, rocker-type vibe about him, and even expresses a dream to make it big on the metal scene. This is a boy who likely worships people like Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmiester, Peter Frampton. His rings reflect the subculture built around these people and their bands, a culture of - at the time - young people pushing back against authority with loud music and dark imagery, seeking community outside the mainstream. He’s got tiny skulls around a cross, a hog head, a stylized skull, and what looks like an engraved band with some kind of dark stone. We see similar imagery used in album artwork, set dec, and costuming of acts like Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Motley Crue. Eddie loves these things. He probably likes all of that imagery, and will grab at anything that helps him achieve that look. He’s also a social misfit who seems to enjoy that status, or at the very least refuses to be bullied out of his passions, so much so that he’s crowned himself king of the so-called “losers.” Part of me feels like he might be doubling down on his whole look as a big middle finger to the reputation both it and his interests in general have given him. Like, okay, people already think I’m mean and scary, I’m already labeled a freak, I might as well look the part. THAT SAID, I do think he genuinely enjoys dressing the way he does and leaning as heavily as he can into that wannabe-rockstar vibe. He might even be playing with elements that could end up being his signature if/when he does break into the music industry, you know? Nikki Sixx has his war paint. Eddie Munson has his rings. Also, we know that Eddie’s family is low-income, and rings like the ones he wears can be pricey even if they’re made with cheap metals. I feel like he spent time looking through pawn shop displays to find the perfect pieces and scrounged up whatever money he could to buy them when he found them. He might have been attracted by their general look, but they probably mean a lot to him because of how much they cost to get. (It’s also cute to think of him buying one and then his D&D buddies/bandmates getting him others as gifts because they see how much Eddie loves them, and I feel like his friends care enough about him to do something like that.)

The Social Status’ for the each character in the T9S gang.

(Loved @einsteinsugly’s and I wanted to do this! This is for my verse btw.)

Leia - it’s canon that she’s not popular and is known as a ‘dork’. Yet it doesn’t seem like she’s an ‘outcast’, seeing that she does have a friend (mentioned in Summer Storm). And I’d like to think she is friends with her teammates in debate club.

Gwen - similar with Leia, it is stated several times that she’s kind of a ‘misfit’ and she is shown to be pretty rebellious but at the same time, is very social and likes hanging out with her friends a lot.

Nate - he does have a higher status than Gwen and Leia due to being on the football team, but he’s not “popular” popular. Moreso a higher status.

Jay - same as Nate, except he’s not on the football team in my verse and is actually in drama club. He does kind of have that outcast status since he’s in theater, but similar to Gwen and Leia, it’s not as much.

Nikki - she’s not like one of the ‘popular’ girls but isn’t really an outcast either.

Ozzie - same as Gwen for the most part. Though a little more introverted than her.

Our heroes: Are the island of misfit toys.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Looking for Hetty through Zasha and now Harris Keane. Sam: Tending to his father with Kam. Kensi: Admits a case about an abandoned baby is unfair in their situation. Deeks: Finds the missing and dying mother, figures out when the attack happened. Fatima: Helping Callen find Hetty. Rountree: Back after some time away. Kilbride: Worried about Callen.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Bodyslamming the suspect. Sam: Absent. Kensi: World’s worst storyteller. Deeks: More Alice in Chains than “Agnes of God”. Fatima: Had her best scene in the missing extended scene. Rountree: Walks into a mostly empty office. Kilbride: You can call him Admiral.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Hopefully not Syria.

Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks deal with the elephant in the room – they’re on the ship investigating the discovery of the child. All is well with Callen and Anna until they learn they’ve got company.

Who's down with BrOTP: Not a lot of BrOTP opportunities here – Sam’s away, Rountree has a short few scenes with Callen. The Admiral and Nate are colleagues, not buddies.

Fashion review: Callen wears a dark blue sweater in the boat shed. In the office, a blue and white button down shirt. No Sam today. Kensi is in an oatmeal colored henley with a black NCIS windbreaker. Off-white sweater for Deeks under the black NCIS windbreaker. Fatima is wearing an oversized (really oversized) jacket over a grey turtleneck. Rountree has on a dark green jacket with a black tee-shirt. Charcoal grey suit for the Admiral with a pale blue dress shirt and a dark blue tie with little white diamonds.

Music: No music today.

Any notable cut scene: In an extended scene, after Kensi and Deeks meet Agent Morgan and Deeks explains he’s special even if he isn’t a Special Agent, Kensi and Deeks share a little couples talk to the surprise of Morgan. They explain they’re married.

Also extended is the Fatima-Admiral scene in Ops. When he tells her she’s going for a walk, that impresses Fatima. The Admiral says they were quite common before the invention of the electric scooter. Fatima works the joke, saying she heard walks were quite common back in the day - “Sounds dreadful.” The Admiral admires Fatima’s sense of humor but warns her not to make it a habit. He has enough jokers to deal with.

At the end of the day, Fatima walks into the Admiral’s office with a ton of paperwork he’s hoping isn’t for him. It is. The Admiral asks if Fatima knows of any FOIA requests filed by Callen. She does not. The Admiral will just ask Callen instead. With Callen and Rountree still processing the suspect and Kensi and Deeks making their way back from the Carrier, she’d like to go home. As she leaves, Nate arrives, noting the office really is like a fishbowl.

Quote: Admiral: “I'm not worried about Sam. Kensi, either, for that matter. Deeks, on the other hand's, a basket case, but I don't need you to tell me that. No, it's Callen that I'm worried about.”

Honorable mention: Nate: “Admiral Kilbride?” Admiral: “Dr. Getz.” Nate: “Please, you can call me Nate.” Admiral: “Nate. You can still call me Admiral.”

Perhaps two of the most Admiral Kilbride interactions ever.

Anything else: A Navy jet is flying off an aircraft carrier at night. The Roving Watch and Security Watch is checking the ship. One of the sailors walking the watch sees an open hatch to a storage area. He finds blood on the floor. Calling out for whoever is injured, nobody replies. The sailor calls in the open hatch and some blood he found. Under a pile of clothing, he finds a baby.

In the boatshed, ZNN is covering an apparent car-bombing that killed several people in Syria. Callen is on the phone to someone wanting an update on the bombing as soon as possible. He isn’t worried about the time of the call. Anna arrives with some food. Callen is worried that Hetty is in Syria.

In Syria, the locals are digging people out of the rubble and tending to the injured and dead. A woman walks among the workers – it is Zasha. She’s calling Callen with the news that Hetty is not there. Hetty had a meeting with al-Kalmira, the target of the bombing. Zasha checked the wounded in the hospital and all the dead – Hetty’s not among them. Callen wouldn’t be surprised if Hetty called in the military strike against al-Kalmira. He’s al Qaeda. Zasha thinks it is the last meeting Hetty will have in Syria since all her contacts were “blown to hell” in the bombing. Callen thinks if Hetty got out, so did al-Kalmira. When Callen tells Zasha to call him when she finds out where Hetty is, Zasha pushes back – what if she doesn’t call. “You will,” Callen tells her in a rather ominous tone. A man starts staring at Zasha. She ends the call and takes off.

Rountree arrives to an empty office – “and then there was one.” Fatima comes down from Ops welcoming Rountree back. He asks where everyone is. Callen is working a case, Sam’s dad had a fall so Sam and Kam are dealing with that, Kensi and Deeks are on their way to the USS Allegiance, doing exercises off the coast, working a case about a “rather unusual incident” on the carrier. Rountree guesses Russian dolphins. Fatima tells him about the baby.

Landing on the carrier, Kensi and Deeks are met by Special Agent Afloat Denise Morgan. Kensi explains that Deeks is an investigator, not a Special Agent but Deeks says he’s special nonetheless. Moving a little deeper into the carrier, Deeks brings up the “stork visit”. Morgan is keeping things quiet at the skipper’s request. The baby was flown to San Diego and is in the NIC Unit because the baby was premature but appears healthy. The ship doctor estimates the baby was conceived on-board, so the father is a crew member. There are over 400 women on the Allegiance and every single one of them is of childbearing age. Morgan asks if either Kensi or Deeks have children. They don’t – “not yet.”

Asking about the baby, Kensi and Deeks learn she’s a girl. Morgan’s big concern is that clock is ticking on finding the child’s mother. Bringing Kensi and Deeks to the ship’s doctor, the doctor explains that no placenta was found. It could have been disposed in a trash bin or thrown overboard. But if the placenta was retained, the mother could die of sepsis. Kensi asks if anyone is in sickbay with symptoms that would match sepsis. The doctor wished someone was in sickbay – she could treat the mother. Morgan matched the blood from the storage unit where the baby was found with the crew. The mother is A+, which is about 34% of the population or 165 sailors on the carrier. All 165 have been accounted for.

Kensi asks where was the baby found. Morgan says a cargo hold in a secluded part of the ship. The mother probably had the baby there because she wouldn’t be seen or heard delivering the child. The umbilical cord as cut cleanly and tied off with a standard issue bootlace. The baby was wrapped in coveralls and a tee-shirt belonging to a sailor who swears he had nothing to do with all this.

Deeks asks why there wasn’t a ship-wide announcement about the baby. The doctor made that call with the CO. The mother is obviously distraught, unable to share her condition with anyone. The doctor fears the announcement would cause her to panic, possibly hurt herself or “God forbid, jump overboard.” The new mom only has a few hours before either infection sets in or she bleeds out.

Fatima is on the phone with Callen, who is still at the boatshed with Anna sleeping on the couch. He wants to know about the bombing. All Fatima has is that it was an Air Force operation and the Air Force is not sharing with NCIS. She suggests bringing Kilbride into this but Callen says no. He thinks someone else would have intel – maybe Sidney Jones at Homeland or Sabatino. Callen would also like anything NCIS has on al-Kalmira before ending the call. Anna wakes up and asks if anything has changed. It hasn’t. Anna is worried that Callen hasn’t slept. She recommends some fresh air and some real coffee since the boatshed coffee “sucks.”

In the Allegiance interrogation room, Kensi and Deeks are questioning Petty Officer Hill, who found the baby. The hatch being opened caught his eye. He thought the prior person on Roving Watch accidentally left it opened but he saw the blood the floor and knew something happened. Kensi asks what was in the storage area. It is line and cables that get warn out while at sea. He did not hear any from the hold until he pulled the coveralls off the baby and shined his flashlight on her. Then he heard a lot of crying. Deeks asks what is the word around the ship about the incident. Hill only told his commanding officer and the master at arms. He was told to keep quiet and he did.

Next up is Officer Forest, whose coveralls were found with the baby. He has no idea how they got there but he hopes they kept “him” warm. When Kensi tells Forest “him” is a girl, Forest seems genuinely pleased. Deeks wonders if Forest heard about a pregnant crewmember. He did not and was told not to talk about what was going on with anyone. And he has not. Forest has a girlfriend in Nebraska – he’s going to get engaged on his next leave.

Kensi and Deeks ask how the coveralls wound up with the baby. Forest says they could have been taken from his rack. Asked if he didn’t notice they were missing from his weekly laundry, Forest explains that there are 5,000 sailors on the Allegiance. The laundry bags area often filled with other people’s belongings. He regularly gets bras and panties.

As the Admiral walks into the Ops, Fatima clears the screen. She was speaking to a lieutenant but ends the call. The Admiral gets a sitrep on the baby – who is doing fine. Asking for Callen, the Admiral is told he’s working a case. “Color me lucky, the Admiral replies. Fatima offers to call in him but Kilbride does not want to interrupt Callen’s Reiki session, “or whatever it is he’s really up to.” The Admiral wants Fatima to text him when Callen arrives.

Walking on the beach with some coffee, Anna tells Callen that when she’s can smell the ocean, she always feels safe. She asks Callen what makes him feel safe, he says she does. Anna likes the answers but knows she’s lying. Callen wants to know about the Institute of Noble Maidens, how Anna’s mother enrolled Anna to anger Arkady, how Arkady tried to get her out but Anna refused. She admits to all of it – she felt badly turning Arkady away but she liked the place. She got to ride horses, shoot guns, crash cars – “It was fun.” She chose to stay. She thought it was cruel but she not only survived but thrived.

Confused, Callen tells Anna that Arkady would have taken care of her. Anna thinks Arkady’s way of taking care of her would have been an all-girls school on a private island that shoots boys on sight. Callen is lucky Arkady likes him. Anna asks if Callen is thinking about this because of Hetty. Is he worried that she’s in trouble or is he worried that if she doesn’t survive her trouble, he’ll never know about his past. “Probably both.” Anna doesn’t know about Callen’s past but Hetty loves him a like a son. Callen brings up a mother who manipulates her son. Anna replies that all mothers manipulate their children – that how they get the children to do things. Asked if he thinks about where he would be with Hetty, Callen thinks Florida or Alaska, maybe a fireman in Idaho. Anna suggests a farmer and Callen could see that. Callen could too – with a dog and kids. She asks him if that’s what he wants. He isn’t sure. “Maybe you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”

The Commanding Officer gets on the PA explaining a blood shortage. All female crew members with A-positive blood must report to sickbay immediately, all male crew members will do the same tomorrow. This is a way to narrow down the field. Kensi is going to talk to the ship’s chaplain. A top gun pilot walks by, checking Kensi out and she does the same. Kensi admits top gun pilots are badasses but so is Deeks. Deeks isn’t biting – he’s more interested in the elephant in the room. They are desperate to have a child and they are investigating a mother who abandoned hers. Kensi considers it all unfair. Deeks goes back to top gun pilots – she really thinks they are badasses? Kensi likes the uniforms. Deeks reminds her he wore one as a cop.

As they banter about Deeks being a cop, Kensi realizes the mother left the baby to be found. If she wanted to hide the baby, she could have thrown her overboard. She could have smothered the baby. These are fairly horrifying thoughts to Deeks. Wrapping the baby up to keep her warm, tying off the umbilical cord, leaving the light on so someone would find her – the baby’s mother wanted the baby to found. Deeks is confused. Kensi is sure the mother did everything to keep the baby safe and they can use that to find her.

In Syria, Zasha is trying to talk to some female locals but is surrounded by four men with rifles. As they close in on Zasha, a man on a motorcycle pulls up and tells her got get on in English. The two ride off with Zasha firing her pistol at the men with rifles to ensure their getaway.

In the sickbay, the ship’s doctor is taking the temperatures of five or so female sailors. All are normal and are sent to return to their duties. The doctor has check 35 women, Morgan checked 19 who couldn’t leave their posts. Deeks spoke to the chaplain, no help there. The ship doctor is going to talk to the CO about a ship wide announcement – the mother is running out of time. Morgan suggests Kensi and Deeks grab a list of untested female sailors and a digital thermometer so they can join in on the testing.

Along a pier, Nate walks up to Admiral Kilbride. Nate wonders why they’re meeting by the beach. The Admiral works in a fishbowl in the office. Besides, it is a beautiful day. LA’s only appeal is the weather outside of the earthquakes, mudslides and fires. Nate wants to know why the Admiral wants to see him. As the team psychologist and someone who ran numerous off the books assignments for “Henrietta”, “just tell me what the hell she’s gotten herself into.”

Nate is evasive, asking what does the Admiral know. He knows she’s in Syria and she made a mess of her mole hunt. What he doesn’t know is if the latest drone strike – it wasn’t a suicide bombing after all – had anything to do with her. Hetty was in Syria to negotiate the release of several hostages. The Admiral asks who are the hostages but Nate does not know. Nate did a profile of the al Qaeda leader for Hetty. He hasn’t heard from her in a few days with no way of reaching her. Hetty calls him, not the other way around.

The Admiral asks if one of the profiles Nate did was on al-Kalmira. It was. “Son of a bitch, we don’t know what the guy looks like and she’s having lunch with him.” The Admiral thinks Hetty called in the drone strike herself (sharing a brain with Callen). Nate wouldn’t put it past her. “Nor should you,” the Admiral replies. Without much else to offer, Nate apologies. As the Admiral is about to leave, he asks a favor. He’d like some professional insight into the rest of the team. Nate is reticent again. The Admiral doesn’t care who wets the bed, he needs help dealing “with this island of misfit toys I’ve inherited.” He’s looking to avoid pitfalls to make the team better. The team being better can save lives, “notably mine.”

Racing into Ops, Callen learns from Fatima she can’t confirm if Hetty or al-Kalmira were there before or after the bombing. Callen gets a call from Zasha. She’s in trouble but was helped by an American. Callen wants to talk to the American. They play “who are you?” for a while but recognize the others’ voice. Callen is talking to Harris Keane. Keane was Hetty’s overwatch until the bombing – “I’m still coughing up dust.” After the bombing, Hetty was gone. She either ran off just before the bombing or went underground just after. Keane hasn’t heard from her. There is no sign she was killed.

Hetty is negotiating the release of two Western journalists, which is a surprise to Callen. It isn’t to Keane since the journalists are actually NCIS staffers Hetty had on a long undercover assignment. They were captured and she’s trying to get them back. Keane doesn’t know the name of the journalists/NCIS Agents. That’s to keep them safe if he is compromised. Saying the locals are freaking out (they just got bombed, it’s hardly outrageous), Keane has a rather large war chest from Hetty to keep them moving around.

Zasha is worried they are about to be found, they need to wrap up the call. Callen asks Keane to keep him in the loop. He also asks about his version of the Noble Maidens. If Hetty dies, all that information dies with her. Keane admits there was a remedial reading program run by the Department of Education but really by the CIA. It was the Drona Project. Zasha cuts off the call. Keane has some vodka for them to share.

With a digital thermometer, Kensi and Deeks are checking some of the female staffers with A-positive blood. Kensi decides to look again around the cargo area while Deeks keeps taking some temperatures. When Deeks is turned down by two female pilots, he decides to find Kensi. He does after wandering around a bit. In the storge area, Deeks finds the mother unconscious but with a pulse.

As the medical team tries to stabilize the mother, she’s identified as Petty Officer Third Class Sofia Addison, a model sailor. Unfortunately, she’s battling sepsis and has lost a lot of blood. She’s getting treatment but isn’t out of the woods yet. Morgan tells Kensi and Deeks that Addison would be dead if they didn’t find her. Kensi is beside herself – they should have been looking for her earlier. Deeks thinks the real issue is finding the father because if Addison doesn’t make it, that baby girl needs her dad. Kensi admits she hates the case. Deeks would rather be shot at by bad guys.

A sailor named Elger is looking into the sickbay window. Deeks asks if they could do something for him. He’d like to know about the status of Petty Officer Addison. They’re good friends. Kensi wants to know how good of friends. Elger says they were great friends. Kensi and Deeks push – were they having sex? Kensi tells him about the baby and Elger is shocked. Deeks brings up a DNA test and they will know who the father is soon – would Elger agree to a test? “Absolutely.” If he isn’t the father, Kensi asks who would Elger think the father could be. No boyfriends on the ship or back at home.

Elger explains that Addison was insecure and intimidated by men. Kensi points out she wasn’t intimidated by him. Elger thinks it was because they’re friends and probably because he’s gay. Addison got along well with the gay men on the ship but not the straight men. She even asked to be removed from escort duty. Deeks asks about escort duty. Elger explains that junior officers are asked to bring around civilian visitors so they don’t get lost, “fall overboard or get sucked into a jet engine.”

Returning to his office, Fatima provides a sitrep on the mother. The Admiral offers a “well done” which Fatima can pass along to Kensi and Deeks.

In their interrogation room, Kensi asks Deeks if he saw “Agnes of God”. He mentions Alice in Chains so no, he hasn’t seen it. Kensi explains the plot – a nun has a baby that she considers a virgin birth. Deeks asks if the nun abandoned her baby. She did, which catches Deeks’s attention. Kensi doesn’t remember the end of the movie, making Kensi the world’s worst storyteller according to Deeks.

Reviewing the paperwork, Deeks finds that Addison was still on escort duty around the time the baby was conceived and she was bringing around some civilian contractors. The request to leave the assignment came right after that. Morgan comes into the room – Addison is awake.

In the sickbay, Addison is on pain meds but doing better. Kensi and Deeks gently question Addison. Deeks asks what she remembers. She doesn’t remember delivering the baby. Deeks asks if one of the other sailors on the Allegiance is the father. Addison says no. Kensi asks about the civilian contractor and Addison reacts. Kensi tells Addison she’s not in trouble. She asks if Addison and the contractor were in a relationship. She denies it. When Deeks asks about contacting the father, Addison starts crying. “He raped me.”

A furious Kensi calls in the rapist’s name, Gary Drummond, and his employer, Ashitom Solutions, to Ops. He works computer software for the DoD. Kensi wants everything done by the book – she wants him to go to jail for what he did.

While Callen fills out a Freedom of Information Act request at his desk, Rountree arrives with news of the rapist. Callen and Rountree are on their way. Arriving at a fancy tech firm, Callen and Sam can’t get anyone’s attention – everyone is wearing headphones. Rountree finds their suspect working way. Tapping on his headphones, Callen gets Drummond’s attention. Drummond tries to blow Callen off. Callen cuts the power to Drummond’s work station. When Rountree explains he’s under arrest and tries to cuff Drummond, Drummond starts yelling about assault. Callen brings up what happened to Petty Officer Addison as true assault but Drummond plays dumb. When Rountree gives him one last chance to go quietly, he takes a swing only to be put on the ground with great force by Callen. None of his headphone wearing coworkers even notice.

Medics are taking Addison to San Diego for more treatment and to be reunited with her daughter. Kensi has a photo of the Addison’s daughter and “even though she came from a very ugly place, she’s a really beautiful little girl. She’s a fighter like her Mom.” Kensi asks if Addison wants to see the photo, she does. As Addison is being taken away, she asks for Kensi one last time. Asking Kensi’s first name, Addison says she is going to name her baby Evelyn after her mother. Deeks teases Kensi about Addison running away from naming her baby Kensi.

Later that night, Nate joins the Admiral in his office and agrees it is a fishbowl. The Admiral thinks the office is like working at a peep show without the tips. Since the health and safety of the team is his top concern, Nate is there to help.

A cocky Gary Drummond says the classified nature of his work means NCIS can’t make him talk. Rountree doesn’t care about his work, he cares about the woman Drummond raped. Drummond says “some dumb sailor chick gets knocked up” and to save her boyfriend from court martial he’s being blamed. Callen and Rountree are so disgusted they have Castor take him from interrogation. Rountree offers to driving Callen back to the office but Anna is picking him up.

The Admiral sums up the team to Nate. He doesn’t work about Sam, Kensi either. “Deeks on the other hand is a basket case,” but the Admiral thinks Nate knows that. His major concern is Callen. When the Admiral asks Nate about something called Drona, Nate brings up “Dronacharya”. It is a teacher of military arts in a Hindu story.

The Admiral explains that Drona was a project in the heyday of the Cold War to teach underprivileged children. Foster children were tested under the guise of looking for learning disabilities to identify those who were “gifted” despite their lots in life. “I’m not going to like this, am I?” Nate says to the Admiral. Neither of them do. Saying it is similar to a Soviet training plan. Nate thought this was an urban legend. The Admiral knows Hetty was involved as was a young Callen as a subject.

Worried that Callen could react badly when Hetty returns so Nate is going to be around for damage control. Not only could things go south between Hetty and Callen, it could sink the team. Callen is the team’s biggest worry.

In the boatshed, Callen is leaving a message for Zasha when Anna walks in. But Anna is stunned to see Callen since she’s Facetiming with him on her phone. Showing Callen the phone, he is talking to himself on the phone. Phone Callen tells real Callen to get some rest. It won’t be fun to come after him if he’s not at his best.

What head canon can be formed from here: More of the unending Callen backstory. Yawn. There were some nice callbacks in this episode from the Allegiance, to the Russian dolphins, to the return of Nate and the return of Katya with the identity stealing software.

The Kensi and Deeks scenes were all twinged with a little sadness that if they had a daughter, she’d be loved and cared for at all costs. Hearing the whole story, however, gets the team rightly infuriated.

The Admiral has to be a fun character to write for and Gerald McRaney hits it out the park with every line of dialogue. I’m rarely bothered about cut scenes – the show has a good history of recycling them – but the scene between the Admiral and Fatima discussing taking a walk needs to used. They were wonderful.

Finally, the male sailors on the Allegiance were interesting characters and good men. The sailor whose clothing was used to keep the baby warm was happy that it was his clothes keeping the baby warm. Elger hanging outside of the sick bay checking to see if Addison was OK – that’s a really good compare/contrast with the software rapist.

Episode number: This is episode 11 of season 13 – the halfway point! It is episode 291 overall.

I started to watch at least half of them but didn't finish.

Also some infamous animes i can recommend:

• kiss him not me (its about a girl suddenly having a lot of guys after her but is an extrem-hyper gayshipper)

•hell girl(you can call her to send to send someone to hell ,there are some really creepy cases)

•Killer b(might be not that infamous but i love it)

•Gakuen babysitters(a school with daycare in and a student has his brother in there and also works as babysitter,very cute)

•kappeki danshi(the best footballplayer of school being a germaphob and not interested in relationships, maybe sounds boring but is funny af!)

•beelzebub

#anime #watchlist #i know its very long #but i have another one to watch with my younger siblings #i think im gomna post that too #there might be more #and there might be some twice like the japanese and english name #currently watches :around 65 #still need to finish naruto #and start one piece
