NCIS has reached its one hundredth episode which is quite an achievement for a spin-off programme, although perhaps the biggest achievement that show has made is that it's better than the program it spun off from. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this anniversary episode, but what we got was a Marie Celeste style murder mystery and I have to admit it gets you in pretty bloody quickly.
There's always a number of levels in any NCIS episode, where we get the direction the investigation is going before something comes along that completely throws us into a different direction. Curiously about this episode we don't actually get that, but rather we get a situation where we have a problem - there is a ship which everybody has disappeared from - and that problem grows - they find a dead body - and grows - it has a deadly virus of which they could all get - and grows scarily - there's something else on the ship - and GROWS! - there are two survivors and one of them has betrayed everybody.
I think the highlight for me in this episode was the opportunity for Ducky to get out of the mortuary and join the team on a mission. Indeed it was great to see the NCIS team back on a boat, which, for naval investigators, the team hardly ever seem to be on.
Cheers for the 100, and looking forward to another!
