The last time I caught any NCIS it was the end of that episode, with Kate's teasing, and it really put me off. I've never expected much from mainstream television, but that was very much a "does not compute" moment. I don't consider myself particularly sensitive to trans*issues, but I understood that one.

I was hoping for even a "she was a woman" protest from Tony.

I haven't watched any Ugly Betty, but I'm tempted to give it a go just for that.
