I didn't like her either. Didn't quite trust her.

I definitely agree about Rocky Carroll's Director Vance. He provides a great counterpoint to Gibbs, almost being a friendly antagonist. I also love Dr. Ryan - good to see a personal side to him and she is so complex.

I thought it was a spliced together episode as details were not flowing through. An example, McGee getting sliced by glass in the stomach when the bomb exploded - how'd that end up, don't know, it was days later; I know they kept giving dates but the details were lacking, one day you're looking at a bombed building and the next they have everything back to its original place. Mark Harmon's character seen the gun on the window sill when HD went to look out, he slid the knife down in his hand and stood really close to HD and when he stuck him, nothing showed on his face and then, we are off to your regularly scheduled programming!

More personal than shooting??????

I won't miss her either. Don't care for her.

new season, i must have missed it too! rats.

McGee's injury was resolved in the episode, someone asked how he was and stated that he only ended up needing stitches and then was released home to recover.

Because it was "personal". Last time he killed someone he used his rifle that was later traced back to him. (remember the drug dealer that killed his wife and daughter? His kids used the ballistics to try to get Abby to turn on Gibbs. They went after his father too.)

stabbing him like that at close range made it more personal. for those of you that missed it the day after a show is on you can usually see at hulu.com for free.

CBS.com also has it for free the day after. I wanted to see more between Ziva and DiNozzo and I was relieved that Ducky made it through. I thought the show was anticlimactic, but I am a major fan. I do not miss an episode and watch them over and over.
