I'm thinking that the spin off would be set in San Diego because that's where Vance was assigned from (I think) and that's also where Gibbs' family was (well, Camp Pendleton, actually) when his wife and daughter were murdered. Plus, San Diego has a pretty large naval component, don't know about L.A.'s military connections. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part because San Diego is more local to me!

Either that or LA. This way there will be a west coast NCIS as well as the current east coast NCIS. If the new show is in San Diego I wonder if we will see a lot more Navy SEALS.

So far, I really like the new team for spinoff and am planning to add the show to my DVR list! Wondering what is up with Ziva?

I hope Ziva and her dad are working against Michael, because otherwise it would appear to indicate that Mossad is behind the arms deal.

Arielflies · 04-30-2009, 08:33 AM

Or else Mossad is also running an undercover operation and the two agencies are competing which places Ziva in the middle regarding her loyalties. I really like that they are looping Ziva's storyline back to the the beginning of the season and I like that overly goofy Tony has found his serious side (sort of.) Although they weren't a large part of the storyline, I'm glad Abby and Ducky got some air time.

I like the new characters and the set up of the "other" agency. It is NOT a copy cat of the NCIS DC crew we've come to love, but the two main characters have strong spy ties to Gibbs. It is interesting that one of their characters will be an operations psychologist so maybe we'll get more of the profiling aspect - where Ducky was heading last year until the writers pulled him back. But, really, what is with the old warehouse James Bond type of headquarters? A tad over the top and a tad tacky. Interesting that McGee was in alt over the advanced computer imagery projection. Didn't he watch CNN during the election last year? LOL!

The writers have done a good job to set up a spin off series that will be different enough from the first to hold our interest.

Well, I think it is because they are a "special" division of NCIS called Office of Special Projects. Not NCIS -west coast, or CA. They don't parallel the work of NCIS Washington D.C. but handle special projects.

Like you, I thought Mossad might have their own sting going and if so, I wonder where Ziva's loyalty will be? I really look forward to and enjoy this show each week - I just hope we aren't being set up for a season finale death scene. I love every member of Gibbs team, even getting use to Vance.

Yes, I know they are not a regular NCIS unit, but wondered why (for production purposes) "they" used a cliche spy set up instead of an office tower.

Where is Navy Intelligence in all of this? Wouldn't this unit respond more directly or get their directives from Navy Intelligence? From JAG to NCIS it seems the Navy has a lot of overlap - according to the script writers. JAG did their own investigations which would seem to be in conflict with NCIS investigations which (gun runners, terrorists, etc.) would seem to be in conflict with their own OSP. Why not let JAG present the court cases that NCIS investigates and let the OSP track down terrorists?

Okay - now seeing parallels to real life. JAG is like the Prosecutors office which has its own investigators which can be in conflict with the police who can also lead investigations into terrorist activities which can be in conflict with the FBI.

Does anyone else think this "layering" is off-putting, or even down right confusing?

Mike'sgirl · 05-06-2009, 11:08 PM

I love O'Donnell and his character was/is my favorite of the special unit...... what the heck? He obviously did not have on a bullet proof vest, not sure I will watch the new show without him though.

Ziva and Tony....... what a pair! I don't know what they have planned for season finale cliff-hanger, but would not be surprised if Ziva gets shot, and we wait till next season to find out she will live. Of course, it could be Tony that gets shot but we already had that cliffhanger a few seasons back when he was in quarantine, (Kate volunteered to be quarantined with him as a morale booster) and Tony almost "died". I love/hate season finales.
