    The season premiere of NCIS returns with one familiar image: Ziva being shot at, and one very unfamiliar image: three new agents in the seats of Ziva, McGee and DiNozzo.

    The episode was interesting as for once they were pursuing an interest within the organization, not an external criminal. The result was a guessing game, a who dunn it, if you will. While the three replacement actors were not exactly riveting, it did not distract from this unique storyline.

    It is good to know that so late into the series' run this show is still among the very best on television.moreless

    In this episode of NCIS the following happens. We pick up a couple of months after the end of season 5, when everyone was redeployed. The team are called in when the body of a Petty Officer is discovered. From Abby we learn that it has been 126 days since we last saw Ziva, Tony & McGee. Abby begs Gibbs to bring the old team back. We learn that the Petty Officer, worked with a victim who was killed in a bombing in Morocco. Here the team learn that Ziva was also hurt in the attack. Gibbs orders his new B team to find Ziva. Gibbs goes to see McGee to see if he has heard from Ziva. Then as if by magic they get a phone call from Ziva. We learn that the team was broken up because a NCIS agent was black mailing the Petty Officer, who was found this morning. Gibbs is asks to find out which of the 3 new members of his B team is betraying their country. Gibbs and the Director ask Jimmy about his relationship with Agent Lee. Agent Lee and another Agent go to building 3 and has entered the computer achieves of building 3. Agent Lee is being attacked by the other Agent. She calls Gibbs who is quick to arrive on scene when he can hear gun shots. As they enter they find Lee holding a gun and the other Agent dead. Ziva is transferred back to NCIS as is McGee. Agent Lee packs up her belongings and leaves the building. She gets a message on her phone saying, do they suspect. She then has flash backs of all the murders she as committed including the Petty Officer. She sends a message back simply saying no.moreless
  • Lee - did not see that coming.

    It was a shock to me that Vance disbanded the team at the end of last season. But I knew they would get back together (most of them)in the first episode of the fifth season. I liked the storyline altogether, the result with Lee I did not see coming. I wish there was more of Tony but I realise that would have been impossible while he was still on the boat. It was nice to see Ziva showing some emotions regarding missing everyone. Hope the next episode will offer more action/Tony/ team interaction.moreless
  • Sensational start to the new season!

    This was the fitting commence to the new season of NCIS, and I htoroughly enjoyed it. The story is absolutely amazing, and this episode was great until the very last moment.

    I was quite confused at the early stages of the episode, but it was soon clarified and the episode was set out remarkably!

    Taony was great in the scene on the computer, and that was one of my favorite scenes from the episode.

    The end was was very shocking and I couldn't believe what was happening. They really hid the secret very well until the very end and I have to commend the writers on that!

    Overall, sensational episode, and I hope they keep it up from here!moreless

    The end of the episode where specail agent Michelle Lee was revealed as a super spy totally caught me off guard. My sister suspecting the ending for the beginning, but I could not wrap my head around cutesy Lee as a spy. I guess that would make for an interesting cover in real life. I believe Ziva may have remarked on a geek being a pefect cover. It would seem it was.

    I thought the guy sitting at McGee's desk was the spy, and would end up dead but I was really off the mark.

    So Vance had a plan for breaking up team Gibbs. So I'm back to liking the new director, but who knows how long that will last. Ziva and McGee are back. All we need now is to get Tony back on land.moreless
