Anyone following NCIS ORIGINS ?

[dweller]

I’ve missed an episode maybe 2 , and have been enjoying it . Just catching on to the story lines and new characters.

But also watching the old NCIS and tonite’s episode is about The Calling.
The terrorist children from Iraq ? where Jethro is shot and almost dies , etc. But interesting is that Gibbs Origin’s boss appears as a ghost in the episode , and Gibbs who almost dies from the gunshots has a dream while on the operating table where he is looking at portraits on a wall of ppl in his past , and the actor who plays young Gibbs in Origins is in a pic of young Gibbs …

I wonder how long the new series was in the works with blending of the new series in the old series.

Hope this makes sense .

1. I saw one episode and really liked it. Definitely on my DVR.

2. Only 7 have aired

So I’ve seen 4 or 5 ? The last one was really good , and I’m starting to tie some of the past of origins to the themes of the original NCIS …

But it was weird to see the pic of the origins Gibbs in the show from season 12 ( of 22 seasons) of NCIS … and his origins boss Mike , as a ghost in the old show ( different actor than Origins , but some resemblance to him) with the same attitude as the young Mike.
While watching the calling , and the ghost of Mike started appearing to rag on Gibbs , I was asking myself ‘who is this angry guy’? And about the time I guessed it was Mike they revealed him as the old boss of Gibbs.

Again , that’s some long range planning .

3. I was a real JAG and early to mid NCIS fan but after a bit it got old. This new series perked my interest.

It was kinda sorta draggy in the first episodes but the more recent ones are not bad. Not great but not bad.
I'll still keep watching..

4. Once Gibbs left NCIS

And Bishop had left , and Ducky gone , and Dinozo gone too , the new characters didn’t have the same spark as the old . The show is different but ok .
Apparently there’s 10 shows in this season of Origins so there’s 3 left.
Tonite at 10 pm is #8

5. Reacher

I haven't been able to catch it yet but when they run previews for it I get a Reacher vibe from young Gibbs.

6. Last nite was season finale

Another OTA channel Heroes & Icons started showing the original NCIS from season 1 (2003) m-f 6-8pm .
I never saw the beginning of the series so am enjoying these early shows

7. NCIS 🔄 NCIS Origins

I've seen it reported in a few places now that there are plans to do a crossover episode between NCIS and NCIS Origins 🔄

I haven't read any details yet but it sounded ridiculous at first. The more I thought about it though it could be interesting to see how they do it.

Obviously it would have to be in the form of flashbacks. Speaking of which I also read that the actor that played a young Ducky on NCIS will now play Ducky on NCIS Origins.

He was also on the show Harper's Island 🏝️
