So let's start this with

Day 01 – Favourite season!

I think my favorite season is season 4 (even though S10 is the best season in my opinion - I don't even know if my answer makes sense now ;)).

What I loved about S4 was that Ziva was closer to everyone in the team, and everyone seemed to be getting an equal share of screentime. I also love the composition of episodes, with lighthearted ones and dramatic ones. I don't know, but S4 stands out among all seasons to be my true favorite season :nod:

I'm not sure I have a favorite season. I've got favorite episodes that stand out from each season.

I've never really thought about the show in terms of favorite season. I think in terms of episodes. :)

But I agree with Steffi that S10 is the best.

If you can't guess from the above gifs, I'm going with season four. For me it just had the characters I love the most & the right balance of screen time for the characters & elements that I love about this show. Although I will admit season ten is definitely trying to be a contender here too, but I can't say for sure if it will replace four as my favourite until it ends ;).

bubandgeek05 04-30-2013 08:03 PM

Hmm, I think a season 4 re-watch maybe in order. For you guys that have picked season 4 which episodes made you guys go Oh yeah, this is my favorite, or was it just the culmination at the end of the season?

maplezbear 04-30-2013 08:52 PM

For me it's season 4 or 5. It's been awhile since I have watched them, but so many of my favorite episodes are in those seasons.

Nicole, for me it's just the combination of all episodes, like Chelle said, and the amount of screentime and storylines that were given to each of the characters. There are many great episodes in S4, one of my favorites being Twisted Sister. It's just the combination of what happened in S4 that made it my favorite :nod:


Day 02 – Least favourite season

That's easy, seeing I was never a fan of Kate (sorry! :(), S1 is my least favorite. When I started watching NCIS I remember thinking "If I hadn't known the show already, S1 wouldn't have made me stick around to watch at all". Or maybe that's also perhaps because I have never been a fan of shows in their early days, when you didn't know the characters that well and everything was just new - I am a little complicated conerning that fact :lol:

shinebrighterxx 05-01-2013 04:29 AM

For me, my least favourite, would be season six. Even though the first season had little McGee I still prefer it to six. I'm not a fan of the storyline when Vance first comes into it so I just don't really enjoy a lot of the episodes in that season. The season has some good points to it, but overall I usually don't watch the season. It did give us Cote singing though, so I will love it for that :P :sigh:

Like I said in my post, its overall the character & storyline combinations. Its not any specific episode or factor, its a whole package. To be honest I don't like the end of the season its not as strong as others, but that doesn't change it as being my favourite.

I couldn't agree more :nod:

bubandgeek05 05-01-2013 02:10 PM

Thanks guys for your responses. :D Now that I'm caught up I think I can go back and re-watch for fun.

For me my Least favorite season I think has to be Season 9. I thought the season started off kind of slow, but by the last 5 or 6 episodes, I thought it was quite good. But the beginning of the season kind of put me off.

I also agree in that I didn't like Vance's first couple episodes in the beginning of Season 6 as well.

Day 03 – Favourite episode

Oh my... that's way too tough to be answered at this hour :lol: Especially because I think I can't pick an episode. I mean two episodes I always enjoy watching is Chimera from S5 and Truth or Consequences from S7. I think have watched them a million times, just as much as I have watched SWAK from S2. So yes, from my current point of view, it would be these three :lol:

bubandgeek05 05-02-2013 05:27 PM

Hmm, favorite episode. I kind of like the Christmas episode Faith. Well I like the end of it, where Tony gives the HR person her doll, and McGee pulled off the call to the boys mother. That makes me tear up every time.

For shallow reasons I like Under Covers (what I enjoy seeing Michael Weatherly shirtless).

And an episode that had me laughing was Devils Trifecta.

shinebrighterxx 05-02-2013 07:53 PM

I can't pick one favourite episode. It's so hard but two episodes I always go back to & love are 3x21 Bloodbath & 4x20 - Cover Story so I'll go with them... & try not to change my mind before posting :lol:

maplezbear 05-02-2013 08:56 PM

Since I missed yesterday, went ahead and did 2:

Day 2 - Least favorite Season
I think my least favorite season is 1. I am not sure why. It could be because I didn't like a lot of the storylines or something else. Not sure though... just that I didn't like it as much as the others.


Day 3 - Favorite Episode
No way I can answer this with just ONE episode :lmao: Um, I will go with 3 of my favorites though: 3x21 Bloodbath, 3x09 Frame-Up and 5x06 Chimera

Day 01 – Favourite season
For me it would be season seven or eight because it took until that season to make me love the show. I had seen the show in pieces before, but it was not until season eight that I loved it. However a lot of episodes that I love are in season seven which also helped me to love the show which is why I cannot pick between the two.

Day 02 – Least favourite season
One and two because there is no Ziva :P.

Day 03 – Favourite episode(s)
If I named one I would just go with Under Covers because I love the Tiva scenes in there :P. But going deeper than just that meaning I cannot pick between Truth or Consequences, Jet Lag, or either Jurisdiction or Safe Harbour (I love both for the same reason: Diane Neal, I just am not sure which I like more as it changes).
