Sensu Lato

Warning: Spoilers
This was not as bad as some of the other recent episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles, but no one will call this the quintessential episode of what a procedural should be either. The end game of Sam running the NCIS team is certainly a choice, but in a way it could be the best option because he brings the toughness that those before him did.

Not seeing Callen in every episode just feels odd though. I don't know if this is a budgetary reason behind the scenes, but it feels like a mistake and is increasingly noticeable as we only have a few episodes left in the show's long fourteen seasons across the airwaves.

Send out a BOLO For Chris O'Donnell...
allmoviesfan7 November 2023
Episode 18 of 21 in the final ever NCIS: Los Angeles season and, quite frankly, it's pretty ridiculous that the entire cast hasn't been appearing in at least the last half of the season every single episode.

Look, I get budgetary concerns are the reason why this happens and it was probably necessary to get this last season to air, and I put up with absences early on. But, that said, you need to be backloading these episodes - the last episodes we will ever see from this franchise! - so that everyone is on deck at the end of the season and the show.

Having Chris O'Donnell's Callen off screen in San Diego (as Admiral Kilbride explains at the start of the episode) cheapens the franchise, not to mention short-changing the fans. You're taking out one of the show's two biggest stars, with Linda Hunt apparently permanently off-screen as well.

Insert whatever sports analogy you want about taking out a star player right when the game is on the line. We should be celebrating these characters right now, not having them off-screen.
