random NCIS: NOLA thoughts

[archersangel]

i occasionally watch an episode of NCIS: NOLA as i come across them on TNT, or wherever, because i miss seeing scott bakula not much is interesting on tv.

the one i caught the other day was sic semper tyranis where members of different separatist groups get together & steal some missile for nefarious reasons. pride goes undercover, using an on-line identity developed by the ATF, within the group to stop them. at the end percy informs the team that other separatists know he was law enforcement & it's implied that they're looking to get him. this is never mentioned again.

it could be because that was the season where they wrote brody out & the idea just didn't come to fruition. i forget how many times that has happened on TV. like with the reetou on stargate: sg-1. they made it seem like we would see more from them, but never did.

also, this is the episode where pride gets the bar & said he wants to call it WCFA (with charity for all), but i can't find anything about that anywhere. they ended up calling it the tru tone, which was on the sign outside as dr. wade comes in.

in other ncis news; hawaii has been canceled. sidney is still on, but apparently it's just on paramount+ in australia. and there will be a series about young gibbs (from the original series) & his time as a young agent. and another spinoff with some characters from the original series.

CBS is milking a cash cow until the udders fall off.

Vivid and no doubt correct!

I've been catching a few episodes of NCIS: NOLA too. I watched the original for years, and part of NCIS:LA, but having Bakula star was the big draw for me. But as I was watching, I realized the show had seasons I hadn't seen!

I think what happened was I thought it had been canceled, therefore wasn't looking for it, and didn't have it in the new DVR schedule as a result. I'm not 100% where I left off, but I think I'd like to start at the beginning since it's been so long. I'll let the DVR collect them, since there's a lot of channels doing binge airings.

I have zero interest in a show about Gibbs in his early days. Mainly because they'll mess up the time period, without a doubt. According to Wikipedia, Gibb joined NIS (the precursor to NCIS) in August 1991. Not only do you have to have a decent plot, but now you have to add in the difficulty of keeping the look right. Fashion, tech, etc.

Most definitely. I've heard they're talking about a spinoff with Tony and Ziva, and I'm not interested in that either. I liked Tony when they let us get past the chauvinistic persona, which we unfortunately only got glimpses of now and again. Never really cared for Ziva.

i hope you enjoy watching it. and i will try to avoid posting spoilers form here on.

the tony & ziva one is the one i was thinking about when i mentioned about another spin off.

Don't worry about spoilers, I've already hit several major ones with my random views, including death of a major character. I was also intrigued to see they worked COVID-19 into the plotline, as a lot of shows just ignored it. Might be interesting in coming decades to see how people view the (fictional) depictions of a pandemic.

I went over to Wikipedia to look up about the Origins spin off, but I don't see any mention of the Tony and Ziva spin off. Maybe it's just a rumor, or at least not everyone has signed a contract yet?
