NCIS

The season began again!! WOO! XD











***********MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!***********









ZIVA'S BACK!!!!

YAY!!

Dang that cliffhanger they left us with at the end of last season sucked! I mean, everything's going semi-ok, sure, Ziva's hanging out in Israel with her dad, so that's kinda sad for Tony... But next thing you know, she's strapped to a chair all beaten up and tortured and stuff! And this terrorist asks her to tell him everything she knows about NCIS.

End of season.

WHAT?!

I am so glad they got Ziva back!! Half of the summer I was convinced she's dead, and the other half I was convinced that she'd find her way out, I mean, she's *Ziva*. She has to! But she doesn't. Exactly how she makes it back, I'll leave for you to find out if you haven't already.

I postponed this post a day so the spoiler wouldn't be too hard on anybody who isn't in my time zone.

Anyways, if you've never heard of NCIS, now is an excellent time to look it up! I mean, they're starting a new season and everything's cool again.

NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Think CSI, but specializing in crimes relating to naval officers.

I'll list the characters by rank, and once I lose track of rank, they'll be in no particular order.

Leon is the director of NCIS. Kinda mysterious sometimes, I couldn't stand him at the beginning of the last season. -Or maybe the season before- Mostly because he split up the entire team for no apparent reason (he clarified later, after putting them back together, mostly redeeming himself.)

Next you've got Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He goes by Gibbs, though some people can get away with calling him Jethro. He's an ex-gunnery sergeant from the Navy and an insanely good sniper. He doesn't say much, but if he's got a gut instinct, 9 times out of 10, it's accurate and you better listen. He's the boss of the team we all know and love. He has to answer to Leon, but Leon takes Gibbs' opinions seriously.

After him, is Anthony DiNozzo, goes by Tony or DiNozzo. He's a major movie buff, and he knows the ins and outs of NCIS almost as well as Gibbs. Also he's a ladies man and appears to have a thing for Ziva. ...Even though that means breaking a rule or two since they work in the same office.

Next up is Timothy McGee, I'm putting him above Ziva because he's been there longer. Now McGee is the technical whiz, and when he and Abby team up, they can figure things out lickety split. He's basically the geek of the squad, and has been given a huge list of nicknames by Tony ranging from Probie to McGeek. And for a geek, by the way, he's pretty cool. Especially the way he handled himself in this most recent episode.

Up next is Abby Sciuto. Now Abby is not just your normal average forensic scientist. She's a genius forensic scientist while being "the happiest goth you'll ever meet." She tried not being goth once... didn't work out very well. She's incredibly affectionate, and loves her Caf-Pow! (Think... and this is my best guess here... Highly caffeinated cherry Icee.) Also she sleeps in a coffin.

I've forgotten Ducky's real name for the moment, but he's the man who finds out how the dead guy died. Basically his job involves poking around a body's insides to find out what exactly went wrong. Sometimes it's easy, like a bullet wound, but other times he has to find out what sort of deadly poison was going through the body's veins and whether or not he himself is gonna croak for breathing that air. Oh! He's Doctor Donald Mallard.

His assistant is James Palmer, who is a medical student I believe, and enjoys shoes.

And last but not least is Ziva David. Pronounced Zeevah Dah-veed. She is an officer originating from Israel and has made her way here. Highly trusted by Gibbs for killing her own half brother who was going to shoot him, she ranks up there with DiNozzo and McGee, she's just newer. She knows a variety of hand to hand fighting techniques, and can be fierce at times, but that's not the only thing about her. She's also clever, may have gotten over her anger towards DiNozzo (considering recent circumstances), and tries to use American phrases but keeps getting them mixed up.

Example:
Ziva: "Well, you know what they say, you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few legs."
Tony: "She's never making me breakfast."
McGee: "Uh, Ziva, it's 'without breaking a few eggs.'" Overall, she's a fun character too, and I am majorly happy that she's back!!

Those are the main characters, and I can't really tell you the plot, since it's a TV series and the plot usually changes a bit from season to season, and well, this season is just getting started!

Anyways, check it out, and enjoy!

Oh, and um... There are some scenes with Ducky that aren't exactly appropriate for kids... So I rate it PG-13, unless you make the kids cover their eyes for a couple minutes.

Later!!
