I have loved NCIS from the very first JAG episode that help create & introduce this show! I truly feel sad to those who watching this drama for only past 5,6,7 or 8 years, then sharing their own uninformed opinions about ENTIRE the show or this specific episode! The "Ziva" character was essential part of the early growth of this television show, which is how it became the colossal success that it become today! There always a constant turnover of characters in every television show that been on for over four years these days, as I have mourned for each and every lost character on this show. There is pattern that should obvious to the true fans of this show. For those cannot see it, perhaps this not the show for you follow or watch going forward, or if do not care about history of this particular show! "You break the rules, Gibbs Rules, you pay the price later on."
This episode brings the show back to its roots! If you are new to this story it's troublesome to you, however, loyal watchers realize they seen ALL this before!
Finally this, although I do not agree with every change made to core of NCIS, for example, some the cast changes with new people I do not think really a serve purpose or fit into the show's storyline. The show has grown and cast will continue to change going forward hopefully!
