I wonder if they had reordered things, if the finale would have been the brilliant can't-believe-it kind of episode they were going for.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-71770951920038325302011-05-21T10:09:04.495-04:002011-05-21T10:09:04.495-04:00I don't watch NCIS either, but I know what you...I don't watch NCIS either, but I know what you mean about season finales that are built up and then seem to deflate before your eyes. Beloved Husband says I get too excited about stuff so I'm easily disappointed. I suppose from the script writer's point of view it can be difficult to keep a good thing going for so long and still come up with new stuff. I don't think I could do it.KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-72077931117586705402011-05-20T10:26:27.303-04:002011-05-20T10:26:27.303-04:00Gosh, that's friendly.Gosh, that's friendly.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-35793954056803972102011-05-20T00:41:07.149-04:002011-05-20T00:41:07.149-04:00@Nut: I really do love this show!

Every so often I watch the new NCIS and I love it! I must say those programmes do have a great way of reaching a climactic point and then ending on a casual scene with a hint of something either funny or a lead in to the next programme. Great way of showing an example of a good ending :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-88107305903437979252011-05-19T20:55:43.627-04:002011-05-19T20:55:43.627-04:00@Rachel: Exactly!

I tried CSI for a while, but didn't like any of the characters.<br /><br />@Will: I think the characters are great on NCIS. My problem is with the plots being so predictable and the endings always being so tidy. Which is why I'll be really annoyed if Gibbs is the person Tony is handling, because that's so obvious. I really, really hope it's anybody else, except perhaps Ziva, since that would also be an easy route.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-42899226511446412302011-05-19T12:42:04.505-04:002011-05-19T12:42:04.505-04:00I love NCIS, and was sad and a little surprised to...I love NCIS, and was sad and a little surprised to see Mike Franks die, but his last line was great! I also liked his "...cheerio..." line. What I've learned most from NCIS is that cliche character types still have some live in them. "Ex-military cop, surly, has trouble with autority figures." yawn. But Harmon and the writers have given a really captivating character from the ol' standby. Same with all of them; go ahead and discribe them in 7-10 words, and you'll see formula after formula, but the depth shows through the writing and acting.Will Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158149526658590324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-78012605538905644782011-05-19T12:02:27.539-04:002011-05-19T12:02:27.539-04:00I generally enjoy such programmes but to be honest...I generally enjoy such programmes but to be honest got lost off with all these initials and spin-offs from the original programme so now tend to stick clear of them.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-23321545200110819822011-05-19T11:46:11.005-04:002011-05-19T11:46:11.005-04:00I don't watch much NCIS (like I don't even...I don't watch much NCIS (like I don't even know who the people are!) so I felt safe clicking through!<br />I think enough loose ends need to be tied up to leave the reader feeling satisfied, but some can be left hanging, just to keep readers wondering a little bit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181241692016438730noreply@blogger.com
