I did not and will not watch the show again if NCIS keep making this kind of cheap episodes. Come on , bringing in a new character without any "character" is one bad thing, but the shower scene is VERY ODD and very very UN NCIS. It was not needed . IF they hooked up in the future , why start with a shower scene? This episode is my least favorite overall (I watched NCIS for few years now). So sad , because the new girl is not someone I am looking forward to see every NCIS episode and the episode ended in a very unclassy, cheap way. NCIS is not a highschool tv series yo!

I find it amusing at how seriously some of these characters are taken. I love the show and thought this one was well done as usual. E.J. will achieve what the writers want her to achieve and we will for the most part love the fool out of it.
In the meantime, some folks with their outlook or new characters like E.J. remind me of the Thom Gemcity fan who was killing off McGee's characters to protect them. Hopefully no one goes that far but you get the idea. E.J. appears to be eccentric but I don't think has been around long enough to like or dislike!

I agree with the majority. I do not like the EJ character and I think it is unrealistic that Tony would get that caught up with her when he has known her less than two days, was working on a case & they barely spoke. Hopefully, he is just getting close to her because he (and Gibbs) are suspicious of her. Just a few episodes ago he was supposed to have grown up when it comes to women. If this is reflecting the character's real feelings & he really has fallen that fast and hard then I think Tony will be in hot water with Gibbs (and the team) before its over with because he doesnt appear to be thinking clearly. Aside from this "EJ rant" I really did like the rest of the story & the interactions between the other team members. MW and JS did a great job.

EJ was the worst, I hate her already...and that is saying something because she is hot...that's how annoying she was. I hope she doesn't last long, I don't want the only TV show that I watch religiously to be ruined...she's terrible!

E.J. needs to go! She is nosy, unliked and not needed. Gibbs is my favorite character but I also like all the other cast members. Vance should get killed off and bring back the first director... the one BEFORE Jenny. Gibbs had free range and the director backed Gibbs' team.The other shows I liked went downhill when the cast got changed. Please keep it as is and keep up the GREAT work. NCIS is my favorite show!

I own all the seasons of this show and also watch the reruns on the cable stations even though I have seen them a hundred times. I must say that although I did like the fact that it was a somewhat lighter mood for the show, it was the first one I actually didn't like. Hopefully the new character doesn't turn people away but it seems like they are pushing her right now, not good as far as I'm concerned. Someone mentioned when Ziva started as a comparison, but I liked her immediately. Again as others have said "If it's not broke don't fix it"

Another thing- I also think that EJ was inserted to create a rift between Tony and the rest of the team. That scares me a bit, but I do think it's his time to move on. He's my favorite character, I love him to death, but I think he needs his own team. Also I think the loss of EJ at the end of the season will affect Tony's decision to leave or not to leave.

I find EJ kind of an annoying and shallow character. Obviously Tony saw something more... I hope we do too, if she is going to be a re-occurring cast member. Even though I don't like her, I'm glad Tony's got a new girl! I'm happy that Tony is finally feeling like he's doing something right. The episode overall I liked, but I agree that McGee was out of character. I didn't like that Tony was the brunt of every joke and the idiot in every scene the past season or more, but having McGee suddenly leave him alone was too weird. Sorry Michael! Otherwise, I enjoyed the change and I look forward to the next episode. I hope there's some action between Tony and Ziva because of their new significant others as well.

This is the best show on TV and I think Michael Weatherly did an awesome job directing this episode.I guess a lot of people don't recognize the foreshadowing they do for future episodes.It does take some intellect to see that in TV,movies and books.I don't like Vance as a character,he should be slapped upside his head every time he acts superior,or talks down to Gibbs.

I thought the characters were out of character in most of the episode. The scene where McGee is using all the old "ganster" lingo to describe the scene didn't work. The scene where Tony and McGee are circling the autopsy table and Ducky while talking was weird. Gibbs knocks before entering Vance's office because he wants to get in the Director's good graces... since when?? Then the new team lead shows up. We don't get to know anything about her character and next thing we know, she's in a towel and kissing Tony. Her character has no credibility with the audience or Gibbs' team. Now she's just the office tramp. This episode is up there with the "muscle car" episode as two of my least favorite.

I have to agree with the majority of posters. I did not like the new character, and her listening in was not very subtle. Hit the viewers with a brick-bat? If this is just a short arc, then I'm okay with it. Otherwise, not so sure.

I agree with most who do not like the new girl. I hope hers will be a short arc and nothing permanent, and I hope that she goes out bad like being a traitor or something...and I most certainly hope DiNozzo will not fall too hard for her.

I too liked the show but did not like the new character at all. I agree with the majority that she is not needed and that no changes need to be made to the cast and show. Why is it that when a show gets to be number one and very popular the powers to be feel a need to change it up and ruin it? Leave it alone...I would rather see the show go out on top rather then end it's run without its once faithful fans and viewers.

I think EJ is there to spy on Gibbs under Vance's orders, did anyone else noticed how she not only kept butting in but was literally staring at them while they worked and was listening to everything they were saying. And that end scene in the shower was just odd and out of no where. First episode I didn't like.
I didn't like Ziva the first few episodes, but would be devastated should she leave now. Give the new girl a chance, I think these people know what they're doing. We love all the others on the team...and they picked them out...although I will say I'd love to see Vance take a hike. Can't stand the way he talks down to Gibbs. Wish Gibbs could just haul off and slap him. lol. Michael did a great job directing this, not that I know anything about that, but the show was great. Hope to see more from him. Also, would like to see more of Jimmy, he cracks me up! I just love the show!!!

I also did not see a reason for bringing in a new character. I found she did not bring anything positive but seemed to be just hanging around the room, tossing in comments that weren't necessary. What happened to those people who used to sit there and didn't pay attention to what was going on? I hope she's not jumping the shark and being brought into to bring in more tension. The show for me is about Gibbs' team and I would find it hard to watch with EJ being thrown in the middle.

March 2nd, 2011 2:11 PM
The E.J. character is too nosy and listens to Gibbs' team's plans. I thought she would turn out to be a spy for some group. (CIA? Bad Guys?). A short arc, then out with her.

I dont know why they would have to bring in some one else..... The show is perfect with out any new characters..... The show is number 1 and if they continue to change everything around, like bringing in a new character, no one will watch the show..... It is the same with Criminal Minds, they changed everything, they got rid of JJ and now Prentice may be leaving, and now the show is not worth watching.... They have to change everything, and now it sucks...... If NCIS continues with bringing in new characters, it is going to loose viewers.....
