ivyficDrive-by reviews of the new NCIS's...
NCIS: We are going to explain the premise of the show and all of the characters to you in case you are confused and wandered here by accident thinking there'd be Chris O'Donnell. Also, we have no intention of dealing with emotional fallout from the end of last season. Saving someone from terrorists means never having to say you're sorry.
NCIS:LA: We are cooler, quirkier, angstier, flashier, and sexier than the original. They had one b+w photo as an act opener--we have ten. They had six main characters--we have...I kind of lost count. Eleventy? They took five seasons to uncover the angsty backstory of their main character--we put it in the pilot. (And seriously? We're going with "he doesn't know his name?" I've already watched Pretender, thanks.) Also--did we mention we're slashier? Because we are much slashier. Much. Came thiiiiis close to Sentinel slashy. Unfortunately, our writing is just as predictable. And our set dec department needs serious help. We're also not sure if this is a procedural show or a James Bond movie.
Oh, NCIS, never try to figure out why you are popular, because you clearly don't have a clue.

B: Chopper picked him up, dropped him at the door while SEALS did the rest of the clearance.
