Interesting take on Sr.'s POV,though I think the verdict on his motives and culpability in canon is still out there...

I do so hope RW will be back next season. Tony's rediscovered relationship with his dad is a huge part of his evolution and I don't think that story's played out yet (ditto Gibbs and his dad ... and I guess you could had Ziva/Eli, McGee/his dad to that list, too!).

Come to think of it ... dead or alive, I wanna know more about the mothers in the show! Other than Mrs Mallard, we've only met Gibbs', and it took, what, 200 episodes?

There's a challenge for you, m'dear. :)

A very good character study of what Senior could have (or shoud have) been thinking about on the way home.

A fantastically accurate glimpse into Senior's head. Well done!

Very good piece of work.

Senior's voice to a most damning...'Until today he'd had no ideatheir relationship was on such shaky ground'... blind as a bat to the last, Daddy!
Lovely insight!

Really nice character study of Senior. I'm still pretty much convinced he's just a self-centered, selfish S.O.B. with some sort of agenda, not the bumbling 'wanna be a father now' the series tries to portray him as, but everyone has a different take on him, which is pretty interesting, actually.
