It has gotten laughable. Ok, Torres is mowed down by a speeding car...pushes Bishop out of the way, but he is mowed down. He is shown in the hospital, where a frantic Gibbs sees Torres in the hospital bed...not even his hair is out of place. In the earlier years, it was a great show and fun to watch...it is now laughable and I keep wondering, with the dumb story lines and pathetic acting...what keeps it going. When I miss an episode...it used to bother me...it doesn't anymore...I feel I have been spared the dumb acting of the cast and one of the worst is the lab tech that replaced Abby...talk about sad, pathetic acting. In real life, The real NCIS would have long ago fired Gibbs for his outbursts and temper tantrums and ego trips...I used to work for the DOD...I know how far this kind of behavior would have lasted...not very. Since Dinozzo and Ziva left, the story lines and acting have been in retreat.
