NCIS 30 day meme - Day 5 and 6

Day #05 - Favorite Season 3 episode
While I don't like season 3 as much as I did season 2, mainly because of the addition of Ziva's character which messed up the previously established relationships a bit (and I simply can't stand her meanness, case in point is "Boxed In" - there's a mean bite to her teasing that wasn't there with Kate), there are quite a few episodes which I actually enjoyed very much.
Most of all there's "Bait" - the first real glimpse of teamleader!Tony, an interesting case... well, it's just a well-rounded, very enjoyable episode where everyone can shine.
Runner-Ups are "Mind Games" (I have a thing for serial killer-settings and I liked Paula Cassidy - still find it a shame that it wasn't she that was added to the team...), "Frame-Up" (liked the ending, and of course Tony's freakout in prison... and it had Fornell in it), "Under Covers" (I despise any notion of TIVA, but there were quite a few hilarious scenes in this episode - and of course, again, I liked the ending) and "Probie", one of the few really good McGee-episodes.
Day #06 - Favorite Season 4 episode
I never quite understood the hatred fandom seems to have for Jeanne. I liked her, and I especially liked her relationship with Tony - or rather, the Tony we saw when he was with her. So, I definitely thought that season 4 was a step up from season 3, even if there were quite a few rough spots along the way such as Gibbs' return from his hiatus, the way the team treated teamleader!Tony (I loved the way he was finally portrayed as competent boss, and I liked the way Jenny acknowledged that by offering him his own team), the way Jenny handled Tony's problems with his mission, the way said mission turned out to be nothing more than a personal vendetta for Jenny... Again, despite all this I really enjoyed season 4.
My favourite is without a doubt "Grace Period". As said above, I liked Cassidy and I absolutely adored her conversation with Tony at the crime scene. And despite of his mission his feelings for Jeanne rang true for me - and that's why it took so long for him to tell her. But the whole episode was just a team-effort, especially given that it was Gibbs' team that could have ended up dead...
Runner-Ups are "Twisted Sister" (the second McGee episode that I actually enjoyed and I wouldn't mind seeing his sister again), the Sharif-arc with "Sandblast" (how adorable was that "my son Tony"?!? Do I need to say more?) and "Sharif Returns" (I liked Mann, well, especially all the awkward moments when the team had to deal with her knowing that she was in a relationship with their boss... again, hilarious moments there), "Driven" (if only for that sexual harrassment seminar, definitely one of the funniest scenes ever in NCIS), and "Smoked" (brilliant twist at the end, Fornell, "What would you do if you woke up and discovered that you were married to a monster?" "Happened to my father all the time. We usually just moved.")... There were a lot of nice moments in that season - too many for me to name.
