"NCIS" finished its first season with Gibbs and company finally tracking down the Hamas terrorist whose first appearance at midseason shook them up. They close in only to learn that the terrorist (Ari) is actually a deep cover Mossad agent who earlier held Ducky, Kate, and Gerald hostage to prove himself to Hamas.
Tonight, Ari fakes a plot to kidnap the American and Israeli leaders, and one of his helpers is a blonde Swedish Muslim played by none other than Josie Davis (Sarah Powell on "Charles in Charge.")
It was a nice, twisty, never-what-it-seems episode, but a bit of a letdown to learn such a good bad guy was actually a good guy.

Watched this show for the first time last night, my dad's a fan. I didn't like it. I don't like the Goth chick or believe that anyone working for the military could have such an ability to be as varied or easily wooed off case as they were. The only character that seemed believable to me was the main character and the rest of the team was eccentric just because on TV you have to have eccentric characters.
While I agree that that the characters are a TV-ish mixed bag, the real NCIS is 50% civilian. The show characters are civilian, so they don't have to have military bearings. The main character Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) has one because he's a former Marine Gunnery Sgt.
I'm a fan of Harmon and McCallum. I have a soft spot for characters named Kate, and they even had an M.E.'s assistant named Gerald.
