I thought the episode was badly written.  Obviously the old spy would end up the good guy the way the writers presented him from minute one and the same with the CIA guy being the bad guy.  They didn't even put in a red herring.  Geez.

Meanwhile the NCIS Origins writers have been upping their game in contrast.  Loved meeting young FBI Tobias in a scene they wrote purposely NOT having Gibbs in to NOT drop hammers all the time.  And adding some cool humor like Mike Franks hating all Mexican food and Gibbs stumbling badly through his first undercover gig.

Yes the premiere episode of Origins sucked soooo bad.  But it is hitting a pretty good stride now aside from the whole stupid Lala thing whereas this mothership is displaying more and more lazy writing.

Right? Nothing to write home about, no scenes worth re-watching. Lots of talky scenes with low emotional impact. Serves purpose with the intended audience who still zzz NCIS zzz.

Quirky lab person/computer nerd has become a staple of the franchise (not sure about Origins but I would not be surprised if that show also featured an iteration). I find Kasie a lot less grating than Abby in later seasons.

I didn't care for Kasie at first, but I think that is because I really liked Abby and was missing her.  Kasie has grown on me, and she is quirky in her own way, and like Abby, she loves her NCIS peeps dearly.

Of course they do. But the NIS forensics lab has a CSI like team of lab rats working with him so far.
