After reading the other reviews I felt this episode needed some of the love it deserves. I love Gary Cole as Agent Parker, Gibbs' time had come and they did a great job with his exit earlier in season. However, I get the feeling many people are still upset with the departure then give new episodes bad reviews. Parker deserves a blank slate, an open mind from all the viewers and I think they'd come around. He adds MUCH needed levity to the head of the team that Gibbs had been lacking for some time. Also, it feels like people that say the new cast doesn't have any chemistry are watching a different show than what I am watching. I think the one thing this show has always done well is keep good chemistry amongst the main characters. I was afraid the loss of Bishop would have a much bigger impact than Gibbs leaving.but Agent Knight has been as good if not better than Bishop who tended to be mopey more often than not the last few seasons. I truly believe NCIS could have another 5-7 strong years if people just stop dwelling on the past and enjoy now and the bright future ahead.
