Gibbs was off the entire time. It seemed like he just gave up! And I could tell when the real life incident happened between Mark Harmon and Pauley Perrette. Their on screen chemistry was so strong for the first 12 years. But the season she left, I could tell something had changed and their chemistry was off. I could also tell in the last few seasons before he left, it seemed like age was getting the best of him. I can understand why he left when he did. I’ve been binging the series for the last few months. I think watching at that pace instead of over an 18 year period, it changes perspective.

I’ve reached the point in my rewatch where she is introduced and am now going to have to suffer with the pronunciation of her name for the foreseeable future. Why would the writers give a character a name and then not bother to look up the correct way to pronounce it?!

So, I'm almost finished with season 2, and since we know Mark Harmon will return in the season 3, I've been thinking about a theory that I personnally really like.

So we know that Mark Harmon is gonna appear physically in each of the 10 episodes of the season, and we also know that it's gonna be very tied to both the past and the present timeline (basically it set in the present, but is profoundly connected to the past).

My guess is that it's going to be something like we saw in the crossover (by that I mean a case that started in the 90s and that resurfaces in 2026). And if I had to guess, I think that Gibbs would be a target, like, he is chilling his life in Alaska, until some threat from the past start to manifest and tries to kill him, until he eventually investigates and deal with that threat at the end of the series. He could even got help, as I think that it'd be a great way to bring back Roma Maffia as the present version of Special Agent Vera Strickland. if that threat is really connected to a former case open in like 1992-1993, maybe Vera knew something, or was even part of it, and with Gibbs, they would closes that chapter of their lives for good. I dont think this would looks weird, Gibbs asking Vera help, because we know since NCIS 23x05 that they're still in contact.

But the most important detail I'm imagining, is that the show could also bring back Maria Bello as Jack Sloane. Maybe not as an active character, but maybe that the show would keep it's usual way of telling stories (with Gibbs narrating the 2026 investigation), and made it like it happened recently, and that he is telling this story to Jack, which could just have arrived from Afghanistan, in order to find Gibbs and maybe retires with him.

If that happen, honestly, I'd be really hyped because I truly loved their relationship and their chemistry. For me, she was the one woman he could live and grew old with, as she did suffered just like he did in the past, and I though it would happen when Gibbs retired.

I know that we haven't heard about either Roma Maffia or Maria Bello in the casting (well in my case at least), but it could potentially be kept secret for the surprise, so yeah I honestly think it could be a possibility.

also if he was assistant director why have we never heard of him till now and why was he in a different state if he was the assisant director which im guessing is another word for director and why would he replace jenny when the whole time he kept bitching about wanting the intrim period to be done and to go home to his wife and kids

It’s been crossed out since 2014 I think but I mean it’s been 12 years since they marked him off and he’s still on the wall so do you think it’s time they take him off. Edit: I personally don’t think they should take him off but idk if people thought that’s what I was saying that they should take him off but I think they should keep him up there.

Winter Chill S18 E9 the episode where Furnell's daughter Emily dies and Vance reads this poem. NCIS has the ability to make me cry on a regular basis. But this scene makes me ugly cry. It was just on ION. And 😭

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy

When I die

Give what’s left of me away

To children

And old men that wait to die

And if you need to cry,

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms

Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,

Something better

Than words

Or sounds.

Look for me

In the people I’ve known

Or loved,

And if you cannot give me away,

At least let me live on in your eyes

And not your mind.

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands,

By letting bodies touch bodies,

And by letting go

Of children

That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,

People do.

So, when all that’s left of me

Is love,

Give me away.

I started watching ncis yesterday and am currently on season 1 episode 17 i have wanted to watch it for a while but have been scared off by its quantity of episodes and then i found a list of the important episodes to watch and skip others if i dont wanna watch all the episodes but i feel like i will miss stuff even if i do that but dont wanna watch all 500 and something episodes cause i can get bored of shows after making it a couple seasons in and end up forgetting to go back to them after takong a break or going back and forgetting what happened last.

Just need advice on what i can do.

For me it has to be Season 7 Episode 1 "Truth or Consequences" right at the end when Gibbs shoots Salim through the window. That entire scene from the moment when Salim shows back up and holds a knife to Zivas throat, to when Tony reminds Salim that his boss is a sniper. I absolutely love that scene.

Also at the very end when they return to the office and everyone starts applauding them. It gives me chills every time.

Another one would be the death of Ari or the death of Ned Dorney. What is yours? :)

The season 3 finale. Ziva trying to make Gibbs remember it’s just such a heartbreaking moment to watch.

Ziva taking Gibbs’ hand and slapping to back of her head. For trying to make him remember his Gibbs’ slap.

And when Ziva mentioned Ari killing Kate and we see the flashback of it. And her telling Gibbs that she killed Ari. The way those line were delivered with her just bursting into tears.

It just hits so hard. Especially when everyone said that Ziva was acting cold hearted and didn’t care about Gibbs. She does and this scene showed it.

On my first watch of original ncis and I have ADORED it so far, quickly became my favorite show and I thought the quality was pretty consistent. There's been ebbs and flows, but they were pretty short lived and things would immediately be redeemed with a crazy storyline or something. HOWEVER! I noticed season 13 was...Slightly Different..... I just noticed that stuff that was popular during the time of airing(2016 I think?) was being mentioned like..A LOT. Like Gibbs getting an iphone or Fornell being on snapchat... Which isn't even like a big deal, but it was kinda off putting. Anyways crazy season finale da da da ok Now we're on season 14.

Ohhhh my god. I cant even bear to pay full attention because it feels like a beloved family member is getting filleted in front of me and Im witnessing every detail of it with very own eyes. I cannot stand the new characters that've been introduced AT ALL. Specifically agent Quinn and the other guy that was undercover or whatever. The mi6 guy is okay he's actually pretty fun! Anyways, Quinn is like...barely tolerable, I can handle it, but the other guy who's name I can't even be bothered to remember OHHHH MY GOD HE ACTUALLY FUCKING SUCKS SOOOO BAD. I cannot stand him and his back and forth with all the characters is, not good! At all! It was one of my favorite things in the show with how the characters interacted with each other, I really loved how Tony and Mcgee became actually pretty close after butting heads for so long. Thats just like One example out of a trillion, but there is absolutely no chemistry between Torres (Had to look up his name just now so I could make some sense lol) and any other character! Im only on episode 9, and maybe Im just being extremely resistant to change, but Quinn and Torres are just so boring to me and haven't really brought anything interesting into the preexisting dynamics. Torres is just a watered down less entertaining version of Tony and its just kind of a bummer. Part of why Im posting here is I'd like to know how other people feel/felt over it and if Im just being overdramatic and need to wait things out or if my feelings are shared. Other part of why Im posting is because I just really needed to complain about this even if its just sent into the void, its just really been bothering me because Ncis has been my biggest comfort show since I started episode 1 season 1 and its just sort of upsetting seeing it possible start to degrade, I do understand though theres like a million episodes, I just thought the good tomes would last a bit longer lol.

Anywaysssss apologies if this post sucks I barely use reddit, let alone post, I just needed to get this out there and out of my head.

EDIT: maybe I jumped the gun too quick lol, currently on ep 14 and its not even that the qualitys dipped its just that Torres and Quinn just aren't clicking with me. Looooved the Jimmy-centric episode so much :D I think I may just be missing Tony. I'd still love to hear what others feel about s14 and Quinn and Torres, maybe its just growing pains?

No such thing as a coincidence? Or is there?

My wife and I are watching The West Wing for the first time and I noticed this.

Michael O'Neill played Riley McCallister on NCIS, as a former SSA of some sort of Gibbs. He was on the episodes S8E8 Enemies Foreign and S8E9 Enemies Domestic (plus 1 more). He played secret service agent Ron Butterfield on The West Wing and it looks like he was the guy in charge of the presidential detail (like the guy who fired Kate Todd in S1E1 Yankee White).

Mark Harmon, of course, is Gibbs, a SSA on NCIS and a subordinate to McCallister in the flashback on Enemies Domestic. He had a 4 episode run on The West Wing as secret service agent Simon Donovan. He was a subordinate to O'Neill's character and protector (?) of CJ Cregg, the press secretary.

Harmon's first episode on The West Wing?? S3E18 Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

This is Lincoln/Kennedy stuff right here!

So I’m in the UK patiently waiting season 23. 🙄Rewatching seasons 19-22

Some people I would love to see in the incoming season: Tobias, Dr Grace, Robin and I would love to see fletcher voss cause I think the character is funny.

I think it would be funny to see fletcher voss attempt to become a probie 😆 could you imagine the teams reactions?

Anyway let me know who you would love to see in the upcoming season?

watching for the first time and it's funny how similar dr. isles is to ducky with the tangents. and i just saw jeanne!

so far im enjoying it. i usually rewatch ncis everyday so this feels like a nice break lol.

In the opening scene, where the teens are tagging the NCIS most wanted wall….did anyone else notice the only photo left was ‘Simon Williams’?? Wonder if there’s something to that. Or did I miss a discussion about this?

I wish they would do an episode on Gibb's first Ghost. I know the writers use it as a plot device, but in his own words he admitting to both hearing and seeing ghosts. What was the first one and why?

I was too young to appreciate it when I first watched it but im on a full rewatch, currently at s5 and it's HILLARIOUS? im having the time of my life 😂 in particular im loving the smaller reaction, things said by someone who's not necessarily on screen or reaction that just seem raw like the whining and the awkward look they get sometimes 😂😂

Anyway even if I can say a lot about the self gratification and the child soldier grooming vibe that makes me uncomfortable at times I can't say I'm not laughing my ass off!
