What I'm Watching: NCIS

NCIS: Season 5, Episode 5 "Leap of Faith" (B+)

This is the "NCIS" I used to love. I am glad that even if the show is struggling, it can rebound occasionally with an episode reminiscent of the show's quality and entertainment value. The suicide-turned-murder angle is very interesting and the team pulls off solving the crime quite well. Next week marks the show's 100th episode, which is hard to believe since I watched this one from the very first night it premiered on CBS. This is the first show I have seen through since its premiere, watching every episode live, to air its 100th episode. I would say I am excited, but I am never that thrilled about Halloween episodes (the landmark hour airs on October 30th and the preview indicates some kind of horror-esque plot). We will have to see. Its quality may make the decision for me of whether to continue with this show or drop it.
