I think the episode isn't finished yet.. They haven't shown the part where Gibbs was about to shoot Fornell yet and they haven't shown Tony and Ziva in the garden together yet. I think the second part of the timeline up to that moment in the beginning of the episode is going to show next week.
Can't wait to see how things turn out. Too bad Ziva is leaving though. Although I like it if they give us some new characters, I really loved Ziva.

I liked they way they wrote her out. Wonder if she'll return once in a while as guest star and how they'll deal with the new Ziva/Tony relationship, if it was a final goodbye for them too.
New SecNav is good. I like to see a women in a power position to oppose Gibbs and the boss

kellemanske

I'm guessing her ring is from a previous relationship. Either they broke up or he is death.. Or maybe that's just me wishful thinking. I love her.

kellemanske

it was certainly a very unusual episode. I was surprised how well the humor worked. Don't think I ever laughed this hard with any other NCIS episode.

kellemanske

he seems to have started to deal with it with telling gibbs and making plans to tell the rest.

kellemanske

I actually didn't mind the story line so much, but I just got very irritated with the accents. I don't think I'll watch because of that.
I think the characters would be interesting, but they didn't do a very good job introducing them.

Cyril Taft Gibb's doctor seems to be coming more of a regular guest but targeting his car with a bomb almost killing him and his wife was surprising

I'm not sure but it seemed like that was a way to write him out of the series again.

That was obvious that someone was impersonating Tony and using his ID to blackmailing Senators was asking for trouble but dying in a car crash wasn't what I expected until they revealed there was more ...

This episode I really liked. The name competition with the surprising end was a nice touch and not making a deal was a good choice. Loved the opening, would have even more if I hadn't read the synopsis.

I enjoyed the opening. The girl was great. The apartment thing was a nice side story but the answer wasn't a surprise to me.
Surprisng to learn who masterminded the escape & I'm curious how they'll continue it. I hope the don't make it a generic 2 part but put something unexpected/interesting in it.

Spoiler!


I liked these final 2 Tony episodes. I'm a little sad he didn't get his happy ending with Ziva but I've got to commend the writers on being original.
Ziva keeping quiet about a child to Tony is a great twist but so sad for him that he missed that time with them.
I'm looking forward to see who'll replace him. (Maybe the MI6 guy?)

So this site is pretty dead, but I thought I'd write about my surprise in last nights episode of NCIS (s16e13)!

First of I have to say that a lot has changed in NCIS in recent years, a lot of long term characters have left the series and have been replaced by others.
Some are more successful then others as always, here is my view on them

*spoiler1 in white*
First of we have Ziva ofcourse who was (supposedly) killed, who was replaced by Eleanor (Ellie) Bishop.
I personally thing this replacement turned out great. I love Ellie and her quirkiness, though I miss Ziva still.


Then ofcourse we have Tony who moved to France with his and Ziva's daughter. He was replaced by Nick Torres.
I'm still on the fence about Nick. I don't think he is very likeable, though he has grown on me a bit cause of his closeness to Ellie.
However Tony had much more dept and brought more to the show. I miss him terribly and how with tonights plottwist they both come back on later in the season/series or at least get a happy ending.


A new addition, partially as replacement for Ducky I'm sure, is Jacqueline (Jack) Sloane who takes over the profiling angle from Ducky
Again, I like her but I'm not sure I love her and what she brings, Ducky was much more fun!
Luckily he regularly returns for guest appearances.


Last we have Abby who left the show after the death of one of the inbetween replacements, Agent Clayton Reeves.
She was replaced by Kasey, a one of a kind scientist in a very different way than Abby, but one of the success replacements in my opinion.
Though I loved Abby, I find Kasey brings the same type of energy as Abby did and I just love her. Though I miss the Abby-Gibbs moments.
*End spoiler1*

Then as to what happened in this episode. For die hard fans maybe not the biggest surprise, but still quite unexpected for the rest of us as I thought they would just leave it where they left it...

*Spoiler2 in white*
Ziva seems to be alive! and the messages looks a bit like Ziva and possibly Tony and their daughter might make an appearance in this season of NCIS!
Though I truly hope they rejoin the cast, I doubt it but an episode with all of them starring as guests in which they get a happy ending would be great!
I quite think it might make a good series ending, but then again I would miss my NCIS nights too much.
Fingers crossed though that it will be done!
*End spoiler2*

yeah, I watch them all
I love LA as well, but got kind of fed up with the investigation against Hetty, her disappearing, then the Mosley thing. Do love the banter and the main characters though. They should just bring back Hetty and keep the team as is or do something major to change it up (like a nice ending for Kensi & Deeks and replacing them with other people that fit as well, though I love Kensi & Deeks and would miss them). Definitely keep Sam & G cause they make the show

NO has a very different feel to it, but love the banter there too (between Chris & FBI girl whose name escapes me right now and with City mouse before, with Pete and Sebastian). Overall I don't like it as much as the other two though I can't really say what it is that bothers me. I think Pride needs to be back in charge though, this 3 job thing is stupid and unrealistic.

I'll probably watch them all until they end, just not necessarily on the day they air anymore.

kellemanske

ugh, I was already a bit wishy-washy about the cliffhanger with Ziva, but I just hate how they handled it. It doesn't feel like it contributed anything to the legend that is Ziva and left a whole lot unexplored (which they probable will leave lying there)...
I would have preferred it if those 2 episodes had never aired

kellemanske

So the ziva arc just ended and at least its now a decent ending. still felt a bit unnecessary but not as bad as I originally imagined
