Thanks for the thread.

Don't know if I have time to watch right away, but I am glad the shows are coming back now.
Wonder how this season is going with probably less Gibbs...

If there is going to be less Gibbs. You would not know it from last night's premiere. Due to my country's elections. For some reason it did tape, but I caught it today. Enjoyed it.

Like the nod to Nick and Bishop. And Knight's "joining" the team. Just a matter of time...

Despite it's Monday' night. The show is still strong.

This was an entertaining season opener.

The Marcy & Gibbs speculation was fun to watch with knowing that they're RL couple..

I'm undecided about Knight, she had her moments that I liked, but I need to see more of the character before being fully okay with the agent change.

I'm intrigued about the serial killer, and McGee was good at decision making. I'm pretty sure that Gibbs is not coming back as a special agent, he will be just there for the team.

Also it was a nice nod that McGee went through his old "rules notebook" just to find Rule 91...

Liked the old farmer couple. There just was something to them.

Funny thing with the female Sheriff in the beginning when she heard about the boat in the basement: "How did he get it out?"

agree with that.
adding: I liked Knight and I think she fits into the team. It just feels weird to me, because she had been an addition to Five-0 last year, fitting in great there as well. But seeing her as someone else now is..yeah still weird.

[florerr]

The old couple was cool, and I liked the fact that they didn't trust Gibbs from the get go...

The boat & the basement...

Right, she was also in 5-O too... That must be weird to get used to seeing her in a new role after such a short time...

It makes you wonder. Especially when the barn set is obviously modeled after the set for Gibbs's basement, except you see the other side, with the door that obviously is not there at home. Unless there is a door, we do not see...

But yeah, I hope one day we will find out how he does with the boats. When he did the cabin. I figured he just did certain projects at the house, and did the bulk of the building elsewhere, but the boats are much bigger deals LOL.

[florerr]

I know the barn was clearly like the basement...

... I hope that one day, they'll come with an explanation Whether it is a tunnel, a side-door or any other handy trick

Nice that the episode picks up where the previous left off. Sad for Nick finding Ellie's apartment vacant. Not really nice of her to ask Palmer over him to do it but I guess she couldn't face calling him while Palmer would just accept the task given to him.

City mouse reference makes me think of NOLA

"no he's family" very true. Heartbreaking when they learn that a body is found just after that line. Surely they could've told them it was a female body so they didn't have that fear opening the bag?

"I'm a medical examiner, I know people who find bodies."

the yelling between Tim & Nick Oblivious to the people around them too

I find it weird the barn set is a bit like the basement

Nice teamwork at the deserted rangers station. I like Agent Knight & how she seems quite happy to do whatever is needed to get the job done. At least in this episode I think she'll fit in nicely. Can't remember what I thought about her before

I like that McGee has the rules written down in a notebook. Foreshadowing what is to come with McGee discovering what Rule 91 really means too...

McGee's speech to Gibbs at the end

[florerr]

Chelle

You're finally able to start watching the season...

It was a bittersweet episode with Ellie leaving without saying goodbye

City mouse...

I agree about Agent Knight, she was good in this episode

[crash landing]

Time for current season

Man Gibbs doesn't look well Interesting Mark is still in the Opening Credits though

Wait 1 minute? were Elle/Nick together off screen aka Jimmy commenting on how Nick had a gun hidden

Well Gibbs is alive but locked in a barn

Nick/Tim wearing at each other Nick saying it feels good too

Well at least he got to make his phone call and telling Gibbs to keep the reporter safe

Knight starting to understand how Gibbs works Well she finally got to meet him considering her/Nick/Tim found him at the Rangers Cabin

Well the ones they found didn't kill nobody So still looking for the serial killer

Tim feeling so hurt by Gibbs Aww Gibbs telling Tim he's proud of him and seems he'll be involved with the case but not lead makes sense

[shinebrighterxx]

Mark is still in the show at this point, so belongs in the credits

They give hints but don't think they reveal yes or no for Nick & Ellie

[crash landing]

Agreed Think have reached point Mark has left - staying in Alaska
