NCIS franchise

So that makes three NCIS directors gunned down (technically Morrow was no longer NCIS director). I'd have McGee become director, but he needs some supervising experience (he should have had a long time ago).
 
This would be a good opportunity for stunt casting where they bring in a character from one of the canceled shows as the temp director before giving it to McGee.
 
Agent Swift to turn up as Director or will we do another crossover with a character appearing in Origins showing up as the Director?

Do we know what happened to Randy in the intervening time?
 
NCIS Sydney
Trigger is the focus of this weeks episode... brutal stuff.

Nice that they finally reveal the backstory that was hinted at when JD made "a deal on the down low" and took him in.

Loved Mackey telling Trigger "I'm asking if you are ok" instead of the "I'm getting you off the case because you are too involved/close" talk. She however still didn't have the talk with JD however regarding the hit list and all that.

Less Blue and mostly in the lab does wonders for the show.

The other Doc/Morgue lady is probably Rosie's upcoming love interest... Right now, they seem at the annoyed at and by each other phase...

DeShawn is mostly used as comedic relief almost exclusively recently, which is unfortunate
Whatever was/is between Evie and Trigger feels forced and basically to add a 3rd player into the Evie DeShawn thing, rather than organic developed. Don't have a shipping stake in it, don't mind it either way with either or no one.

2 more episodes to go this season.

Why can’t they let them have happy endings
To be fair, NCIS doesn't kill off main characters that often. Indeed, this makes the eighth main character across the entire franchise. And since two of those were because the actors themselves died, this means this is only the sixth main character to die for the sake of drama.

I was thinking something opposite, make McGee Director and have someone from one of the other shows fill in his spot on the team, like Lucy from Hawai'i or one of the young rookie agents from the last few seasons of LA.

Though I kind of have the feeling if they did bump McGee up to Director they'd probably promote Sawyer to main cast and have him join the team.

Something which occurs to me, they never did say who took over as Deputy Director after McGee's nemesis stepped down at the end of last season, did they?
 
Two? David McCallum....and?
Miguel Ferrier on LA.

and the 500th ep and the producers wanted something big and some-one had to draw the short straw.

And we've had younger versions of Pride and Ducky on Origins - should they also have Vance - the framing for the story pretty much writes it's self.
 
They could introduce a young Abby. She'd be old enough to be in grad school....

Nah

at least we finally got to see the backstory of trigger
 
I realized we've now had two NCIS: Hawai'i actors on Watson this season (Tori Anderson two weeks ago and Noah Mills in a recurring role). I wonder if Watson had gone beyond two seasons whether other NCIS:H actors would have appeared.
 
I half expected Gibbs saying something about his family to Ducky, even though it was established Ducky wouldn't know for...another 13 years or so.


I wouldn't care if the writers forgot though.
