"Why don't you like Gary Glasberg ?
He wrote one of my favourite episode : "Faith" ."

"I haven't liked any episode GG has written. imho-all of his writing efforts for NCIS are poorly plotted and disjointed. The subplots are never woven into the fabric of the episode but are instead irritating sidebars that distract from the story. His main plots are thin and obvious AND he doesn't ever respect overall feel of the show. He writes 'television' and THIS is NCIS.
Each week when I watch a new episode, I immediately want to watch the same episode again to catch the small moments. I didn't feel that way with 'Endgame' and figured well, they can't all be that good. Then later in the season I watched 'Faith' and felt the same way. That's when I checked the writing credits. I was dreading how bad 'Mother's Day' was going to be. It was the only episode of his I watched more than once but it only got worse on second viewing.
Sorry to be so down on one of your favs but, again imho, this guy is bringing down the grade of NCIS. He's one of the Exec Producers, he's new to the show so maybe no one wants to tell him he's a bad writer but I've got nothing to lose except bad episodes on NCIS!"

"I would like the real story behind how Gibbs hired Tony. "I smiled"? Come on, there's some serious drama that could be found there! Tony was a homicide detective in one of the most hard-core cities in the USA. It had to be ugly and cold and vicious, whatever the case was. If the guy whodunit got out and started gunning for Tony and Gibbs? Ooh. Yummy!

I'd also like to see more Tony-Abby friendship. Abby (and Tony) are both smart, successful people. Treating them like caricatures (the CheerfulGoth! the FratBoyWithHeart!) demeans both the characters and the drama. Two great actors - give them more meat and less starch!"

"1. Smart, competent Tony - still funny, but showing some of the abilities and intelligence we saw in S1 and 2 that made it obvious why Gibbs wanted him on his team. No more idiot child, immature and embarrassing, but someone who contributes to solving the cases. He is the Senior Agent; let's see him behave like that, and let's see Gibbs treat him like that.

2. Human Gibbs - as opposed to Super!Gibbs and grumpy!Gibbs;

3. Grown up Abby - not the demented child we have (hardly) seen recently. And lots more of her;

4. Nice McGee - not arrogant, disrespectful and snarky. Some fun Tony / McGee moments;

5. Plots that involve ...(drumroll)..... THE NAVY!! Not just a dead petty officer, but actual naval activities. So a big YES to the person who suggested a big SHIP.

6. NOT MORE FAMILY MEMBERS - no fathers, mothers, in-laws, uncles, aunts, cousins.... It has just been too full on this seasons and frankly its ridiculous. We used to get interesting, teasing hints about the character's backstory; now we get drowned by giant gooey truckloads of it at the expense of continuity, common sense and plot.

7. No more Gibbs backstory / 1991! If you want to give backstory, maybe Gibbs/Tony, but make it case related - their first case which comes back to haunt them or something like that. But otherwise, please no more Shannona and Kelly. And if you are going to do backstory - GET IT RIGHT. If we can remember what information was disclosed on seasons s1-4, why can't the writers?

8. Crimes that make sense and take some solving. No more brothers killing brothers, no more "genius children". Something big that takes a couple of episodes. Serial killer anyone? 3 episode undercover arc?

9. No inter-team romance. None.
