For the most part, that’s true--but at season’s end, loyal viewers are likely to be thrown for a loop by the death of a major character and a startling set of changes bound to have a profound effect on the show’s future. Picking up where the previous year left off, this new batch jumps right in with a continuation of Special Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and company’s pursuit of notorious international arms dealer La Grenouille ('The Frog,' played by Armand Assante), whom NCIS director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) is particularly keen on taking down--a quest that’s complicated by the fact that the bad guy is a CIA asset, and by Agent Anthony DiNozzo’s (Michael Weatherly) love affair with La Grenouille’s daughter. That storyline, barely touched on thereafter, is resolved in the 14th episode, 'Internal Affairs.' Meanwhile, the NCIS crew is distracted by an array of other cases, most of them involving murder. Of particular interest are several episodes related to Iraq and the War on Terror: a Naval officer of Syrian descent who’s suspected of being an Al Qaeda mole is murdered seconds after Gibbs talks him out of jumping off a building ledge; a Marine who’s having a violent bout of post-traumatic stress after returning from the Mideast turns out to be far worse off than that; Medical Examiner Donald 'Ducky' Mallard (David McCallum) refuses to conduct an autopsy because of the deceased’s Muslim beliefs. There’s no doubt that NCIS is slick, entertaining prime-time television in every respect: writing, acting, production values, music, and so on. Still, one’s appreciation of the show largely depends on the characters’ likeability, and that’s very much a matter of taste. Gibbs may be a chick magnet, with four former wives and a past relationship with Shepard to prove it, but he’s also a taciturn fellow with horrible social skills. DiNozzo’s funny and insouciant, but his smugness and incessant razzing of computer nerd Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) soon becomes tiresome, while Shepard is steely and simply unlikeable (the most appealing characters are arguably McCallum’s Mallard and Pauley Perrette’s mouthy Abby Sciuto, the goth-like forensic expert). Bonus material includes cast and crew commentary on various episodes and a typical assortment of featurettes. --Sam Graham Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Very enjoyable I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Season 5 of NCIS, catching up on the episodes I missed & watching the others again. I enjoyed them as much the second time as the first and enjoy I am sure I will enjoy them again. Rating: - AWESOME TV SHOW ENJOYED THIS ITEM VERY MUCH...VERY GLAD I BOUGHT IT. nICE TO ENJOY THE TV SHOW WITHOUT ALL THE COMMERCIALS AND TO BE ABLE TO WATCH ANYTIME IS A HUGE PLUS ALSO. THIS SEASON HAS SOME OF THE BEST EPISODES THE SHOW HAS DONE. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE WHO LIKES THE SHOW AND ESPECIALLY ANYONE WHO LIKE MARK HARMON, HE ALONE MAKES THE SHOW AND DVD SET WORTH IT. Rating: - Excellent!!!! NCIS rocks! The show is holding strong and picking up speed in the ratings. Most shows by this time have settled in with the viewers. But this show is just moving up in the viewer ratings with each passing season. The quality of the show and the DVD's just get better and better every season (year). Love the added features (Commentaries are really fun to watch and learn things about the show and the actors). Rating: - NCIS Season 5--Beneath The Surface... There has been a pattern in the writing of NCIS that has always been fascinating. Ever since "Bete Noire" in Season 1, this series has always used it's season finale to essentially set up the next season's finale. "Bete Noire" introduced Ari Haswari. In the finale to Season 1, Jethro Gibbs shot Ari to cover Haswari's double agent status--though Gibbs would have preferred to kill Ari. Because Ari wasn't killed at the end of Season 1, he was able to murder Kate Todd at the end of Season 2. Because ...
