This storyline is getting better and better! I think this storyline is one of the most interesting they've ever come up with - not quite the best, but pretty close - which is seriously saying something, given how much I disliked a majority of this season.

The storyline was just brilliant today! Nothing short of breathtaking! I loved having Agent Burley back! Over eight years since we met him! I loved that! As soon as I saw him, I just remembered a scene with Kate in it, and then I checked here and confirmed that it was indeed him! :)

I really don't want to spaoil everything and anything about this episode because it is too good! But I absolutely loved the endingk, with Gibbs pasting the man's image right on top of Osama Bin Laden on the Most Wanted wall! That was executed to perfection, that scene!

A brilliant episode of NCIS! Ic can't wait to see waht's next!moreless

Really Great

The only bad thing I could find with this show - was that I have to Wait for the next show - to be continued....

- Having more personal about Ziva (or the mystery of her weekend) and how Stan reacted to her (as most men do) was interesting. - Being on ship, the tensions on and off was really good. As usually the 'Team' worked very well together. Enjoyed immensely.moreless

Playing With Fire

7.5

The past few seasons NCIS has made a committment to these lengthy story arcs and not just one-off episodes every week, and while some have not panned out, this current one has been well done. An intense episode, and while the comedy was there with Ziva's "mysterious" weekend, it was the action-packed episode we fans want more of. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it all unravels.
