Great kick-off to the seventh season of NCIS.  I enjoyed the flashback-type story telling, which of course served to introduce new viewers to the characters, albeit briefly.  It was also fun to see Gibbs "in action."

I just hated that he fired 2 shots from 2 miles away and could still beat them to the end of the hallway.

Good lord, there's nothing worse than the foul stench of desperation when someone wants to be famous.

I am a big fan of of the show, but Gibbs would of had to teleport to get to the camp that quickly.  The show makes the point of showing you the distance of the shot to communicate Gibbs' skill and then completely undoes the scene by having him on site in (what, less than a minute?)  C'mon writers, think it through.

It was also kind of convenient that the team was being interrogated in a room with a window.

Having voiced that criticism, I particularly enjoyed DiNozzo's use of True Lies.  Of course, he would use a movie reference.

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

I complained about the same thing. Really enjoyed the ep, but in their desire to have a dramatic shot they played around to much with "reality." I mean it was a cool shot: Gibbs in his gear with the glow of the window behind him. I'm just glad it's back.

My wife and I watched both NCIS and NCIS LA back to back and decided that NCIS LA really suffered after just watching NCIS season premiere. SO many great moments and one-liners from Tony, the faux hunt for Ziva's replacement, and the "Remember I told you my boss was a sniper" line just killed.

 

They may want to consider moving NCIS LA to another night, maybe Wednesday or Friday.

Michael Weatherly (Dinozo) has that young William Shatner vibe about him (no coincidence that the new Capt. Kirk, Chris Pine, looks like Weatherly).

The ratings for NCIS: LA were quite strong (it was second place, behind NCIS, in the key 18-49 demo), with a 4.4/11, making CBS the clear winner from 8-10 (and also to 11 o'clock, if you include the decent premiere of The Good Wife).  I don't see the spin-off moving to another night, especially since the back-to-back allows for some interesting crossover storylines--the franchise could literally have a 2-hour episode whenever it wants.

Good point. Just saying when comparing the episode quality, the original blew the spinoff away.

Shoot, NCIS pulled in 20+ million viewers this week, can't believe it's doing so well in its 7th season. 

The showdown between Ziva and Gibbs was pretty tense.  I'm still wondering where Ziva's true loyalties lie, but she was able to convince Gibbs to let her come back to NCIS.

Amazing scene, agreed.  I think Ziva's breakdown (well, a breakdown in Ziva-terms) showed where her true loyalties are.

I really liked this episode (I'm rarely disappointed with NCIS--it's my "safety show," along with Numb3rs).  I especially enjoyed McGee trying to be like Gibbs with the coffee, and when he was "swiping" the pictures on the flat-panel, pretending he had an OSP "toy." :)
