All I can say is, LA has once again outdone itself!

A brilliant and exciting season finale that ended with a great cliffhanger for us to ponder!

I can't wait to see what it can pull of out its hat next!!! I am totally intrigued!

I couldn't be more proud of the way NCIS LA is turning out! It is a worthy successor to the NCIS legacy!

To be honest, I found this finale more exciting than regular NCIS's.

My fave line was when Deeks said he'd turn in his badge too, if he could.
Vance: I know.

I also liked Hetty's "Bugger!" at the very beginning.
So glad to know she'll be back next season.

Big Callen episode.
Do you think he really IS who they think he is? I'm beginning to.
And Hetty. Is she really related to those people? Or by "family,"did she mean a group? Hmmm.
Is Hetty related to Callen? Has she always known who he is?
Wow! Lots of questions.

I'm also wondering if this "mission" will cause Deeks to turn in his LAPD badge and join NCIS.

You could almost see their minds working -- as they remembered the last things Hetty said to them before she disappeared.

Nell is growing on me. I still think she is excess -- Eric did all this before she came along and he still could. I would prefer to see Nate come back -- his position seems more necessary than an extra techie to me.
But I am liking Nell's character more and more. [She still looks about 12 years old, tho.]

Same here. Nell is growing on me, although I still think it wasn't necissary to add another tech.

But I loved the episode, Shane Brennan wrote a great finale. I really like where they going with Callen's backstory, closing a few chapters (we now know who shot him in the NCIS-crossover), but at the same time we have more questions, especially what the relationship is between Hetty and Callen. There was always something special about them, and I cannot wait to find out more about in season 3.

Great, great finale. I am loving this show. I know I hardly ever get around to posting but today I've finally taken my beehind off the couch and over to the computer.

I am loving the way they set up the characters to enable them to give us a little more here and there along the way. Especially G but also Hetty and the rest of the team. We had a Deeks episode that shed some light on his character, we've had some Kensi stuff. I like how they delve into the character's lives a little earlier on than they did with NCIS. You can kinda tell they had the formula down.

I also like that it doesn't usually feel like a whole-season arch. Those can be great or really, really tiring. Here I always feel we get a good mix of case-of-the-week episodes with overall character exploration and bigger-picture mixed in.

Now Hetty is by far one of the coolest characters ever and I was really relieved to hear Linda Hunt is back as a regular next season. I would not have been happy if she'd left.

Like someone said before me—a few questions answered, many new ones to wonder about. I am excited about season 3!

Well, I saw this episode twice and I believe I understood what happened

My conclusions are basicly that Hetty was a part of Comescu Familia and Callen was the son from the enemy family.
That flashback of a Comescu member giving him a toy probably represents the day when they invaded their home (the G Family home). Since Callen found everything in that beach so familiar I assume he was from the family Comescu killed but he's the "last one of his family" using their own quotes and that house is the G family house. You'll probably understand my theory if you watch that episode again

I assume Hetty must have saved him and taken him to America or something but that's just speculations or guesses like Eric says , the rest I believe is just what happened but we'll know soon enough anyway

I also think Laura Hunter or whatever the names was is related to either Hetty (specially since Ms. Jones said 'Hetty has a [interrupted by the director]') or Callen
