DVD Reviews of NCIS - The Complete Seventh Season
DVD Review: NCIS, best show out there :) **MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS**
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, now this review might sound strange, BUT.....
I am a late comer to NCIS, for several reasons. Over May, feeling a little under the weather and getting tired of all the stuff I already had on DVD, I bought seasons 1-6...I had only watched the shows in re-runs on USA and had occasionally watched some episodes of season 7 online (I had to cancel my TV service).
WOW....is all I can say. From the pilot (Yankee White) in season 1 to the episode Aaliyah (season 6); this cast/crew has my attention. And, I guess they're going to keep it for a while. The fact it is character driven, to me as a viewer, is more important than story-driven. It's the people we as viewers attach ourselves to, who we learn to love/hate each week. Who we connect with, some for different reasons.
I've had a hate/love relationship with Mark Harmon and his characters through his many projects. Who could forget he played Ted Bundy?
Each character has their own place in our hearts....and this is in no particular order.
As Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Mark Harmon has got my attention. His team is his family, often he gives into their "wild ideas", but he manages to keep them focused, and cares about them; such as seen in season 7's "Flesh and Blood" where at the end, he and DiNozzo share a steak and drink a beer almost like a father & son to show that blood isn't the only thing that connects people as family. Our family are the people we allow into our world, to share our lives with.
Moving on to Ziva David; she's an enigma of sorts. She was a trained assassin, but has come to be such an asset of the team and has provided an interesting glimpse into how our American culture is still mis-understood. She has good instincts, a good heart and I believe she cares about the team as her family, such as in the season 7, episode 1 "Truth or Consequences"; she was prepared to die, she didn't want McGee or DiNozzo to risk their lives for her; though down the road she apologized to DiNozzo and appreciates his efforts in trying to watch out for her, meaning she is learning to adapt, showing we can change what we have turned into.
Timothy McGee has truly come a long way since being a "probie" in seasons 1-2; as far as partners go, I prefer the McGee/DiNozzo pairing. McGee has stepped out from the "geeky" kid he was and can hold his own, thanks to DiNozzo's tricks and taunts. He is still the brains, but he has developed a personality and has the heart of a lion. The little brother who can dish it out as well, if not sometimes, better than taking it.
Abby is still Abby, lol. What can be said about her we don't know. Don't let her clothes fool you. She's excellent in her field. The "little" sister of the family, who displayed such emotion when Ziva was rescued, we thought this was a family. Abby is the perpetual ray of sunshine who, even though science might tell her one thing, is prepared to see the other side.
Moving on to Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard. Where do I start with him? He's the kindly grandfather or uncle in the whole mix and shows us that he has the best/worst job of the team. He sees the worst in humanity with the bodies brought before him, but he always teaches us that the dead do talk to us, though not the way we're used to. He shows care and compassion when doing his job, and he is an essential part of the team. He is thorough in his job and even gives Jethro a few good zings to keep him in place. Ducky reminds us there is always something we don't know and if we're in doubt, keep looking. His stories keep us entertained, but provide some kind of lesson in there.
Director Vance...while a good guy in this, I don't hold to having the "boss" in the mix. He's good, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't be him for the world. Sorry, no knock on the actor, but seriously, most of us don't like our bosses. So he is in the worst position possible, though he tries to make the best of it. And, amazingly he surprises us most of the time. But still, don't like too much of the bureaucrats' involvement.
Let's not forget, one of the key members of this team, and next to Gibbs...last, but not least...
NCIS Very Special (Senior) Agent Anthony DiNozzo. Yes, I know he's a goof-ball to some, but have you ever really observed him? He's the "perfect" guy (at least for this girl, lol)...he has a steady and not too shabby job, a sense of humor, an unparalleled dedication to his co-workers, good looks (very easy on the eyes), romantic, charming..and when he gets down to business, absolutely the best investigator on the team, again, next to Gibbs.
DiNozzo is the eternal "frat boy", but at the same time, I don't think I would get on his bad side. While he might hide behind the face of a clown, DiNozzo has "been there, done that" and it's his sense of humor that holds the balance to sanity with the demands of his job. He's seen the worst of the worst, and the job is stressful, so his goofiness is key to "keeping it together". He can be a bit unconventional, but if he were like Gibbs, he'd be....well Gibbs. DiNozzo also has a soft and kind heart, though he wants to hide it; particularly in "Flesh and Blood" where he paid his father's bill & "Obsession" where his obsession to find the woman led him to call her, and the team was able to figure out what happened. DiNozzo stayed with her until she died, proving he is human after all.
He too has grown up since the first season, but not at the rate he should have, lol. Then again, would we want him to change? I know I don't. And trust me, I was schooled in coming around to being a "DiNozzo Girl". He is who is his, he does his job and if that satisfies Gibbs, we don't question Gibbs.
All in all, this isn't just another "crime procedural/drama". This show goes ABOVE that level. I still love CSI: NY and CSI: Miami, just not as much as NCIS. Gibbs, Ziva, McGee, Abby, Ducky and Tony DiNozzo have become part of our culture and part of our family.
They're still going good at 7 seasons, and at this rate....here is to 7 more (and hopefully more).
I'm glad I only have to wait two months to get it....otherwise we'd have a rule coming up on that one. I can hold off on CSI: NY and Miami (and in that order). But, mess with my NCIS...might have to invoke a GIBBS RULE.
ADDED on 9/8/2010:
As of note; the two-part "starter" episodes of JAG (Ice Queen & Meltdown are what I call a "starter-pilot") they are still "Official" "JAG" episodes as "NCIS" goes...Yankee White can be considered the Pilot as well. Some series do that. Yankee White is still considered as "Episode 1" :)...just as the NCIS: LA Pilot or "starter" episodes are still NCIS :)
And, I have had no performance issues with the DVDs and I own all 7 seasons.
Description of NCIS - The Complete Seventh Season

With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team of special agents forced to work together in high-stress situations.
