Summary
- NCIS: Origins episode references Mark Wahlberg's "Marky Mark" persona and brother Donnie's band New Kids on the Block

- Gibbs is unenthused about Marky Mark's music but joins in singing "Good Vibrations"
In the latest episode of the hit CBS series NCIS: Origins, which aired on October 14th, the show found a clever way to pay tribute to the music of the 1990s. The episode revealed that character Randy's (Caleb Foote) past request to spend less time in the field had resulted in him being assigned to desk duty, allowing him more time to discover new music.
Randy excitedly shared his newfound appreciation for Marky Mark's hit song "Good Vibrations," describing it as a "revelation." This prompted confusion from his colleagues, who were unfamiliar with Mark Wahlberg's early career as a rapper known as "Marky Mark." Randy went on to explain that Marky Mark's brother, Donnie, was also part of the popular boy band New Kids on the Block.
While Gibbs (Austin Stowell) initially expressed disinterest in Marky Mark's music, by the end of the episode, he had joined the rest of the team in singing along to "Good Vibrations." This lighthearted moment showcased the show's commitment to celebrating the pop culture references and nostalgia of the 1990s.
The episode also included other exciting developments, such as the revelation that character Lala (Mariel Molino) had survived a near-fatal car crash. As NCIS: Origins continues to build on the success of the original NCIS series, the show's creators have promised to maintain a balance between honoring the past and introducing new characters and storylines that will captivate both longtime fans and newcomers.
