It's this little annoying thing called real life.

Not too bad... obviously "Cloak" was the denoument of this three-episode arc, so "Dagger" would be an expected coast to the conclusion. I don't know that there was any other way to write Lee out of the show. She was painted into a corner and to send her to prison would turn what started out as a good character permanently unredeemable. She wasn't bad until her sister was abducted and she was being blackmailed into becoming a mole. Her motives were forgiveable even if her actions (killing innocent people) most definitely were not. By killing her off the way they did, she was brought full-circle as a character. Someone who started out good, turned bad, and then basically gave Gibbs permission to sacrifice her on the bus to bring the whole mess to an end. Don't forget, Gibbs himself committed murder in order to avenge his wife and daughter's deaths, so he's hardly one to pass judgement on "Michey". I think in the end he didn't. I agree, and this is pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

Oh that sucks elfzena. I don't know what I'd do without my phone! I'd offer you my Timmy clone, but since it's gotten so cold here... well let's just say he's been a bit busy.

Right, there is a mixture of agents with different types of skills. If you look at the homepage of any federal agency, it states that they are not JUST looking for people with prior law enforcement experience, but it is one thing they consider very highly. The FBI requires either former law enforcement experience or a law degree for their special agents.
I don't think Gibbs or Tony should go, nor do I think they are less important than anyone else. I just enjoy seeing McGee get some acknowledgment as a competent and skilled agent after being painted as the bumbling newbie for so long.
But the show would not be the same without each of the team filling their roles.

He brought Tony back, knowing that's what Gibbs wanted and what would make him happy.
That's a pretty big acknowledgment of both of them, if you ask me.
Tony has cracked plenty of huge cases in the past and I am sure he will do so again this season. I enjoy seeing the attention spread around more, rather than just focusing on one or two of them.

Nobody is getting rid of Gibbs and Tony. Real-life federal agencies are evolving into a mixture of traditional, "street cop" types of agents and more modern, "computer geek" types of agents. You need both to make the agency function effectively.
The show wouldn't work if everyone was like McGee, or Gibbs, or Tony, or Ziva. It's the mixture of all of them that makes the show--and real-life federal agencies--work so well.

I figured you might already have it written down. Your plan sounds great to me!

I like A God Among Men but also agree that Wet 'n Wild should be held over for future use.

Great episode. Not perfect, but really good stuff in there.
I LOVE the realistic portrayal of the direction in which NCIS--and all federal agencies--are moving. "Our agents should look more like McGee than they do DiNozzo." Computer skills are at a premium everywhere and federal agencies are at the top of that list.
I can't wait to see how this Agent Lee story plays out!

For those who don't like "Wet and Wild" what about, "A god among men"? I do like that one better!

I've been really excited about McGee's character development this season. He's definitely more confident and he's even bested Tony on a few occasions. I have a feeling this is going to be a great season for our Probie!

I'm at work so I can't do really good screen caps right now, but this was one of my favorite moments from last night's episode:

He probably knew if Tony went, he'd go out searching and asking questions, thus the ending with him asking questions. Well, one. Damn you, Gibbs! I didn't want to post my opinion on why Gibbs might have left Tony behind because I didn't want to offend any of the Tony fans (again - been there, done that, didn't particularly care for it), but McGee called him "DiNosey" for a reason in a previous episode. Gibbs is a private person and Tony is as curious as a cat. McGee is content to just leave things alone that he doesn't feel are any of his business. I agree also. On both counts! Gibbs didn't go back to Stillwater to launch an investigation into his own past, but he knew that was going to happen and he tried to minimize it by leaving the one person who WOULD make that the focus of their being there. Yeah, Tony would have investigated the case, but he would have spent at least as much -- if not more -- time investigating Gibbs's past too. And I also missed Jimmy. But I still gave the episode a 10 and can't wait to watch it a second time!!
