After "One man's trash" I thought was terrible, I expected to see a decent, fun NCIS that would turn my brains off and make me thrilled. "Death from above" did all of that quite surprisingly.
Let's start with positives.
. The story here is mostly compelling with very awesome action sequences, which I enjoyed a lot. The subplot with the team wondering who has a chair on the roof of NCIS, also had a charming touch with Gibbs being the owner of the spot. Senior Dinozzo is also back, which in my mind is not great (I am not a huge fan of the character), but at least the man is not as annoying as he once was.
But...
. The only real issue I had with this one (even though agreed: there is nothing that brand new here) is the fact that couple of twists are not so obvious as they should be.
Overall: Is "Death from above" great episode? No. Is it fun? Hell yes!!
7/10 HK
