I wish it had been 2 hours as well. My main beef with this episode was it didn’t go deep enough — character-wise. I know we’re still going to get some of that as the season goes on but I think the first episode should have been deeper and richer. And I totally agree with you with Kill Ari — and yes, those Kate scenes were odd. More than a little odd. Especially the school girl outfit. LOL

I’m with you on TIVA. I think that boat set sail a long time ago. But I do get that there’s a chemistry between them. At this point, I just want them to work on their friendship. And even though I wish the team had a bigger part of the end game for Dearing, I love the way Gibbs was the one to end it…with a knife.

I’m excited to see what else is going to go on this season as well. Thanks for reading and commenting! Let’s hope that since they didn’t get a 2-hour season premiere, the show will get a 2-hour season X finale.

Yes it does!

I liked this episode although I think a 2 hr episode would have been warranted and would have given a chance to do a deeper story. My favorite season opener is still Kill Ari 1&2. It had the story of catching Ari AND the character focus on the loss of Kate. GREAT writing there, I think (although the Kate scenes were a little odd).

Back to this episode, I am not a TIVA supporter and thought the elevator scene was good enough. I can handle the small, sweet scenes and one liners but I don’t want to see more than that. Ducky and Palmer’s scenes were top-notch. I get Vance feeling responsible. He’s the director; he’s responsible for the agency and it was his car that had the bomb that took the lives of innocent people. I loved the Dearing/Gibbs “confrontation” ending. I thought it was perfect. I thought for sure the drink Dearing had was poisoned though, and he was going to commit suicide. I LOVE the fact that Gibbs was saved by one of his own rules. Never go anywhere without a knife.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store the rest of the season. There’s a reason this show is still number one, even in season ten.

That makes it even sweeter that he’s finally included in the credits.

Brian Dietzen was actually in the show as early as the first season in the \”Split Decision\” episode. Long overdue to have him in the credits.

Like I said, at least this time around he cleared it with Vance and the team saw him leaving. But you could tell that the team wanted to be with him. However, I did like the way he took out Dearing. It was perfect. Thanks for reading.

But Gibbs didn\’t really go off on his own. At least in the way he has over and over in the past. This time he was on a sanctioned Black Op and sanctioned/ordered by the president at that. Everyone knew where he was going. In the past the team and the director were always trying to figure out where he was and what he was up to.

I loved it and I beyond loved how Gibbs took out Dearing. Face to face and looking the man directly in the eyes.

Awesome to see THIS Gibbs.
