Review - NCIS Season 7 Episode 9 Child's Play

There's not much to talk about this episode. It was mediocre and had problems with coherence. The connection to Thanksgiving was tenuous at best and compared to the Halloween episode a few weeks ago it was bad.

I thought it was completely outlandish that the military would house kids to help them with things. I get that super smart kids make for an interesting story, but as part of an official military program? And hasn't there been enough of those Gibbs and child episodes?

The whole episode could have been wrapped up in 10 minutes if Angela had just told Gibbs everything instead of dolling out cryptic hints. Every time Gibbs pressed her, and she refused to say more, I got annoyed. The entire story revolved around the girl e.g. Gibbs coddling her, bring her to a safe house. The ending was very anticlimactic since we'd seen the villain very few times.

Score: 8.5/10
