307/365 - NCIS

I watched a couple of episodes of NCIS: Season 2 tonight. My Mom's friend let us borrow so they've been watching it consistently and I've been watching an episode here and there. I don't want to get sucked into having to watch tv so I try to stay away. But this show is pretty good and I like Mark Harmon.
Anyway, so tonight I realized how these types of shows hook you in. First, they give you just enough clues so you can pretty much guess who the bad guy is; this makes you feel smart. Then they throw in a plot twist at the end so you did guess the bad guy, but there is more to the story; this hooks you in because you never would have guessed this twist but you think...maybe I'll get it next time. So between the "making you feel smart" and the "hook", they've got you addicted.
