redfiona99I was bored on Monday so I gave this ago. It was the fifth episode so I presumed they'd have ironed out the worst of the kinks by then.
Plus points - CCH Pounder as Loretta Wade. Her and Pride (Scott Bakula's character)'s relationship. They are snarky friends in the best possible way.
Negative points - I'm reasonably sure I've seen most of the character bits done before on the mothership, particularly the bits with Not-DiNozzo and Not-Kate. Actually, she's more like Not-Ziva but with more of Kate's personality.
Not-Abby is a man and just doesn't work.
Episode-specific plus points - Fornell. Fornell is always a plus point.
Funny moment, that's very Red-specific - I just couldn't place Not-DiNozzo. He looked vaguely familiar but just not placeable. And then he said something and I went "I know those vowels", and sure enough, Not-DiNozzo is played by Lucas Black. When did Caleb Temple get old enough to play NCIS agents?
Long story short, it's passable enough but feels a lot like NCIS:Original Flavour reheated.

Doesn't it make you feel less than young when the young ones grow up and they're like... that?
It's actually the only NCIS I watch any more. Again, Scott Bakula fondness points.
