NCIS, WTF?

But over time, these folks have become more than the sum of their tics, thanks to scripts that have gradually filled in and rounded out their personalities. Unlike the cops and lawyers of Law & Order, NCIS?s special agents and scientists have lives off the job. Flashbacks, visits to the characters? home towns, and even dreams are artfully woven into the weekly investigations, introducing us to their families and home lives. In contrast with second-tier shows, which tend to solve the crime of the week and then devote the last segment to the bigger, season-long mystery (I?m looking at you, White Collar, Unforgettable, and co.), NCIS integrates these strands into the meat and potatoes of its episodes. And the writers are patient: It wasn?t until the third-season finale of NCIS that viewers learned of the existence of Gibbs? beloved first wife, Shannon, and daughter, Kelly (and why he had never mentioned them); the scoop on some of his more recent ex-wives is still trickling in.
