The two crossover episodes on the original NCIS in spring 2009 set my expectations high, but the actual series has been a disappointment. The main change between the two is the departure of Special Agent Macy and the addition of the Linda Hunt character. Macy, while not by herself an attraction to watch the show, was believable as the agent in charge, and that made the whole storyline believable. Linda Hunt is just not believable as a director of operations. If someone else was in charge and Linda Hunt was just a wardrobe and gadgets person, that might work, and might even enhance the series by bringing the kind of comic relief that "Q" has always brought to the James Bond films. But as it is, her presence just brings an undertone of absurdity to the whole operation.
