Featured review
Consistently top-notch writing makes this series so durable
One of TV's great successes, NCIS continues to provide quality entertainment lo these many years since it spun off from another fine show, JAG.
This episode is notable for subtle and quite skilful planting of clues and almost subliminal foreshadowing, making the finale and denouement forceful and even surprising - a key element week after week.
Two touches I really enjoyed were: the introduction of a cryptic new character at the very end, hinting at more revelations concerning the Ziva plot thread; and especially a fabulous detail of the green copy paper, introduced comically at the beginning, popping up at a crucial moment in a note written by Maria Bello, adding panache to a key scene near the end.
It's moments like this that continue to lift this series above the overworked routine of a police procedural TV format.
