The Noob, The Vet, and The Dead

I'm a longtime fan of NCIS, though not so much the last two seasons. This weekend, the show has figured into my comments on two blog posts.

Yesterday on Do Some Damage, Scott Parker pondered the popularity of grizzled, seen-it-all characters versus fresh-faced newbies.

And today on Criminal Minds, Chris F. Holm mourns dearly departed TV characters.
