The trailer for NCIS: NY is out now!

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?!

The entire story line with Gibbs and the redneck he beat up in E10.

I find it extremely annoying how Gibbs refused to try to save himself. All he had to do was apologize to Vance and not to confess to the newspaper writer. It's like he wanted to go to prison and get fired from ncis.

I assume he wanted to leave the show, but there are better ways he could have been written off...

Actually, there's a lot of episodes I dislike tremendously in season 18. When Gibbs decides to shoot McGee twice with his sniper rifle, and when Emily Fornell was killed off. And then the whole dog fighting story arc. IMO the writing got really lazy and really bad. Edit: I just remembered the idiotic way they wrote Bishop off the show. Who the hell was writing this garbage?

Or is it just me?

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

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.

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.

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 its time they take him off

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.

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!
