I like to watch NCIS, particularly in the current season (or at least, 'what's currently being aired'; no idea when it was filmed (and what is the digital equivalent of 'filming'? Is it just the sterile 'recorded'?)), because the characters seem somehow richer, deeper. You almost get the feeling that they've actually got lives outside of the show. Things bother them.
But there's one constant in the show that I wish would go away, and that's their fondness for trick endings. Did the bad guy do it? Why, all of the evidence says so, and he went to jail. But one of the investigators remembers seeing something that directly contradicts that story, yet no one seems interested in hearing about it. Then again, once in jail, the bad guy admits: he did do it. Or was he just 'confessing' to set up a sting against someone else?
A little fun with the script, sure, go ahead. But this 'was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the dagger? Or could it have been...this?' -- no, thank you. Keep it straight, in the last five minutes. Is that so hard?
