NCISLA Classified Preview: “Blood Bank” (S14E09)
Title: Blood Bank
Airing: January 8th, 2023 (Deeks’s birthday! Our favorite character turns 44!)
**WEIRD TIMING ALERT** – Not only are we in the 2nd of 3 primetime slots tonight, but primetime is shifted (at least) a half hour due to football games! Check this episode out at 9:30pm ET!!
Filmed: October 12th – 20th, 2022
What CBS is telling us: When NCIS investigates a shootout on a boat in which a rare cultural artifact is stolen, they’re shocked to learn who owns the boat, on the CBS Original series NCIS: LOS ANGELES.
What we think is happening: Arkady getting in trouble with a boat, again. It’s giving me flashbacks to season 6. But Arkady is pretty much always a good time! So here’s to some light fun before our 3-hour marathon on Monday! Also, the first two (solo) episodes written by Samantha Chasse both included a sweet ending Densi scene. Might we make it a hat trick and get a third one tonight? It is Deeks’s birthday after all, and I’d love it if we actually got a mention of that! =D

Sneak Peeks:
wikiDeeks | Marty Deeks | NCISLA 
I have the way S. Chasse writes the Deeks character.She always makes Deeks look weak and incompetent and makes Kensi look like a super star. The writers this season have pretty much killed the fun and love that was densi and have tried with other writer to sabotage the Deeks character,but you know what Deeks is still the only reason i started watching the show and he is still the only reason i still watch. I love Eric and his character Deeks. please get better writers.
