In all honesty, NCIS has no better nor worse storylines than the everyday CSI episode. However, the thing that gives NCIS an edge over other investigative dramas is it's team which are always fun to see interacting. It's great to see them arguing amongst themselves, but it's even more fun to see them team up against somebody else. Tonight the team were joined by a new, junior NCIS agent who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and needs to clean everything she touches. The team find this very strange and she inadvertantly becomes the butt of some of the team's jokes. More than that, poor Abby (Pauley Perette is the hottest Goth in existence) is feeling unloved and it seems as though she is about to move on. She doesn't obviously, because we wouldn't survive without her.
Meanwhile, back to the case, which starts off with one of Gibb's rare failures as a naval chappie decides to take a dive, but just as Gibbs' saves him he is shot and falls from the building. I must admit the plot of this episode was a trifle convoluted as the number of suspects continued to grow and grow, and they needed to determine the identity of a mole within the Pentagon. One can't help but wonder if there were that many suspects all linked to the one person, surely someone would have noticed this disturbing trend and actually got in and sacked the victim before he got depressed and jumped.
Apparently not. The episode was pretty good, worth it for the interaction between the various team members, but one can't help but wonder if there is much point to NCIS Director Shepard anymore. Bring back Alan Dale!!!
