The season finale of "NCIS" started us off with a whole lot of unanswered questions. It ended by answering some of those questions, but by leaving a whole bunch more wide open.
Out of all the openings I've ever enjoyed on "NCIS," the one we got this week ranks right up there. The poor little eight-year-old boy who got to crush the car with the dead Marine in the trunk is going to need some serious therapy.
When this episode of "NCIS" started I was like 'Dude, that Navy guy jogging in the dark should, like, totally not be running there. The dude's totally going to get shot... dude.'
Normally when teens are chit-chatting it up in a car and hit someone it's totally their fault that the guy they hit ends up dead. On "NCIS" that's not the case.
At some point I have to assume that "NCIS" is going to hit a Jessica Fletcher-Cabot Cove moment, one where we realize that enough dead members of the Navy and/or Marines have shown up in the D.C. area that there simply can't be that many left.
Damon Werth, former steroid taker and one-time mercenary is probably not the greatest witness in the world. And yet, a witness is exactly what he was with this "NCIS" case.
Tonight's episode of "NCIS" featured nefarious doings onboard an airplane, which, by my count makes it - at minimum - the third show on a major network to have such a plot in the last seven days.
