NCIS: Origins

[Jimbo]

OK, I'm just gonna come right out and say it,,, "Origins" is my favorite spin-off of all of them. In fact right now it's much better than the diluted version of NCIS currently running. The episode a few weeks back about Mary Jo and especially this weeks finale were incredible. Having said that, if Lala is really dead it will be heartbreaking. I really like that feisty character and I love Mary Jo. To be honest I've continued watching NCIS more out of habit than anything else but Origin has actually given me something to look forward to each week.

I watch them both and am enjoying them ...

Origins has been very good ...
I have really taken to Lala, then this, lets hope shes gonna make it.

From what I have read, she Will be on the show next year, but nothing more than that.
Could go anywhere, as in show her recovering or have a funeral.

From what I've read, it doesn't look like a Contract issue, as you see with many people.

Edit:
I guess this info should have been in the Origins thread.

Then they didn't order enough. When I was growing up, series seasons had at least 30 episodes, usually more.

The first season of Perry Mason in 1958 had 39 episodes, just for reference.

Nice touch using the same actor that played young Ducky in the original series in this one, good episode after Franks settled down...

 

[dfergie]

I'm liking the way they are spreading stories around the various character's.

I gotta say it, I love Mary Jo. The only time she's lost control even a bit was last season when she got served divorce papers by surprise. I could take that lady to dinner.

On the other hand they need to tone Franks down some, he's overacting. His personality doesn't jibe with the Franks we know from the original series.

Mary Jo runs the place, just not on paper.

 

[dfergie]

Liked the backstory enough to go back to NCIS New Orleans first episode, I ended up watching it all. (don't remember)

 

[dfergie]

Good one imho, nobody can run the place like Mary Jo...

 

[dfergie]

Liked the Gary and Frank's backstory.

Best episode ever.

 

[dfergie]

I liked the retcon for the change from NIS to NCIS...

 

[Jimbo]

Best episode ever.

I actually think the very first episode was One of the Best ...

Where it all started in what was it, 2003 ?

edit:
Sorry, I got the shows mixed up, were talking Origins ...
I've liked Most of them once we've gotten past the 1st 3-4, getting to know who was who took a bit in the beginning.
It's a bit harder seeing we already Know the person, then go back and see how they became that person.

Mark Harmon is coming back as Gibbs in Origins, for the full season. Just saw, Dinozzo too, on NCIS . That will be an interesting writing project.
