Scary New NCIS Development

[ankh]

The latest episodes of NCIS are worrying me. Gibbs has gone from 'Second B for Bastard' to 'Piss off then if you don't want to be around you miserable old fart'. I'm finding him thoroughly unappealing right now ( though, interestingly, the less appealing they make Gibbs the more appealing they're making Tony, who appears to have matured in all the right ways). More terrifyingly, Madame Director...is OK. Not annoying. Episode 3 I liked her. Yes, you read that right. It seems all they had to do with her was stop with the annoying flashbacks and Be Nice to Tony. Huh.

Like you, I'm not liking the "new" Gibbs all that much, but like the improements in Tony.

I think the reason Madame Director is not as annoying is they seem to be using Gibbs' memory loss as a sort of retcon to do away with the UST and flashbacks, which was a major annoyance for many.

I still want the real Gibbs back, sans the pornstache.

Ick! The Porn Stache has got to go soon. It's hideous. Makes Teal'c's season 4 caterpillar look teh sex in comparison. As for Jen, you could be right. She's also acting like a director, not like a needy chick using some past fling as a way to control Gibbs.

It does seem like previously Madame Director's main purpose was to be Gibbs' ex-girlfriend and not Gibbs' director. Maybe this will continue even if Gibbs gets his full memory back? One can hope.
