Producer and main writer Don Bellisario did not leave the show (or was forced out) until after this season was completed, so one must assume he was the main culprit in the confusing and, frankly, silly plot lines running through Season 4. The premier of Season 5 quickly wrapped up and dispensed with those plots, thank goodness. So far the new season is a huge improvement on last year and is returning the show to it's character-driven roots combined with solid crime cases and the trademark NCIS humor. 648538@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 Nov 2007 14:31:31 EST
