NCIS:Red

8.0

This episode shows how far NCIS has come with another two part episode for the new spin off like the Legend episodes The new team is called NCIS:Red and because their case collides with one from NCIS LA it means they work together to stop a terrorist taking them from Idaho to LA It's hard to tell at this stage whether the Red team will gel as well as the original NCIS and NCIS LA but overall it was a fairly good start and I am looking forward to watching the second part.moreless

Not another spin-off please

Another one will be a disaster! And if the writers are thinking of making G and Paris a "couple", they'd have to solve the Kensi and Deeks "thing". Regarding the episode, I think it's an average one. More of the same. Please spice things up (Kensi/Deeks) already and a little bit more of action would be nice (the team can lose a fist fight once in a while, don't you think? They're not invincible).moreless

Red will ride on.

I thought the flirting was cute between G and Paris Summerskill. I know they won't have anything after this weeks 2nd part. She now will have to handle her interactions with her ex, Roy Haines. He really didn't get a chance to do much. Hopefully his back story doesn't fade as we go along. Some shows that happens.

I don't really know Kim Raver. I look on IMDB and maybe saw 24 once, and Third Watch once. So she is pretty new to me. Those 2 shows were ones no one in house but me was interested in watching, so we didn't.

The member I was worried about was Kenneth Mitchell who plays Special Agent Danny Gallagher . The one injured and that John Corbett as Roy Hines takes his place on team. Mitchell played on Ghost Whisperer. Then played mostly bad guys, on Without A Trace, Lie To Me, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-o, Law And Order: LA, Detroit 1-8-7, Castle, Body Of Proof and CSI. So I was hoping he would catch on here. But chances are as shows have done lately is eliminate someone on the team early for more drama. So he may not be back. I hope he is, and they at least mention him in Part 2. It makes it more real.

I like all the members. They had good interaction with G's team. Time will tell how it works. The leaky Tractor Trailer Mobile Headquarters was nice. G, Sam and then Granger bunking together was cute. G's shoe flip and catch was nice too, wonder how many tries it took? It was snowing but the SUV wasn't covered with snow. Story line of Gunny Sargent Edward and Achmed Santoso being dead was harder to follow. And Santoso lost his shoes? We find the OCD killer wore them. And left them by a tree. But he had 2 thousand in his pocket. It amazes me that the killers don't take it. Maybe the Police will at first at least think robbery? And heck, there is some spending money, even if you drop it somewhere.

The Ford snow plow hitting the Suburban and after team took shots at it, it was announced when it was found empty, that Hetty was hiding in it. That was cute. Not sure who said it. But Danny Gallagher was hit. That's how Roy comes in. Sam later bangs the Excursion into the Econoline van of Robert Spears, Ari Sayed and others headed for the airport. Hetty wasn't happy to see terrorist Ari Sayed on video surveillance. She said,"buggar". But after shoot out,Spears Escapes, and must be Sayed id wounded? All others are dead.

Hetty still don't trust Assistant Director Owen Granger. Nor do I. Roy Haines and Paris have a history. She slapped him and later at the shooting range told G, "Roy didn't stay down!" Interesting! Hetty told him about job Redemption! We will see!moreless

I am glad Sam did mention Paris would be good for callen because he does not have a girlfriend that we know of and Paris would be perfect for Callen because they are both single i think and He was in pressed that she can fight her own battles and so can he so I think i am on team CaParis

Very good and was different in bringing in a new NCIS team (Red) with a new 'romance' possibly.

As much as I dislike 2 part shows, I also enjoy watching them because they can be much more indepth than in just a 45 min. show..

Looking forward to part 2.

- CBS have declined the option to take NCIS:RED to series - this episode and the following one (Red, Part 2) were a staged as a backdoor pilot, to mirror how NCIS:Los Angeles was spun out of NCIS and NCIS was spun out of JAG in 2 part episodes of those series.
