'NCIS' : New Orleans

[Derwin0]

It was an okay episode. Not great or spectacular, but okay.

After having Ducky appear last night, and then Dinozzo & Abby next week, they seem to be relying on crossover casts a bit too much this early. At least with LA, Vance appearing via videocom to give missions made sense (he was Heddy's boss after all), but next weeks seems forced.

Better than the two pilot episodes. Mark Harmon hasn't captured NCIS magic but he may have a series if the shows continue to improve

Is it my imagination or did Scott Bakula forget to fake the accent all of the time?

 

[DJdish]

Ok in ratings for the premiere, 2.5 (18-49) and 17.1 total.

This is how I saw it too. For me Bakula just doesn't cut it. His brooding over the vic and his terrible attempt at an accent just make me groan..

This is what I thought as well.

I liked the first show well enough to continue watching, it was reasonably done.

As for the NCIS guys showing up already I think is the wrong thing to do at this point, gotta let the show try to make it's own way without having to have NCIS prop it up.

You mean Scott Bakula ...

If it doesn't have a scene where a plane flies 8 feet above the ground so that they can drop an ethernet cable down to a Ferrari running at 200 mph directly below it on a short runway & then hook it up to a laptop in the Ferrari,I'm just not interested.

 

[DJdish]

I don´t blame you, I turned off this show halfway through, and on the other one I found the scene with the waitress driving and the car crash more exciting than the one hooking up the cable with the plane, but that´s just me.

Read the screen credits and see what part Mark plays besides an actor. This is his show.

Gotcha.

Though I like Lucas Black as an actor, and realize his southern ties and accent, he does come off a little fake. Maybe trying too hard? Dunno, but the character is a turn off for me.

From what I read here, not many people are sold to watching this new spin off.

I don't really care for NCIS NO but it follows NCIS so I will watch for a while. NCISLA though is probably out it follows nothing and of itself isn't self sustaining.

 

[DJdish]

I like NCIS, and I´m still a fan, NCIS LA didn´t work for me. I´ll give more tries to NCIS NO but the first half of last episode just didn´t grab my attention.

 

[Jimbo]

I'm the other way, I want to see NCIS LA make ity on it's own and I think it will.
I have always liked NCIS and LA as well, not sure about NO, but will watch and see what happens.

Same here. I like the first 2 but still not sold on NO

I don't know about that. He actually comes off quite genuine for an Alabama boy (Roll Tide!)

Bakula trying to be come off as a N'Orleans boy though is very trying. They should have just made him a 20+ year transplant.

Exactly. A transplant would be much more believable than a fake accent.

I watched the full episode tonight, didn´t find it as boring as the last one, maybe due in part to Tony and Abby´s appearances.
