NCIS Mavericks interesting idea of back up team training as Gibbs 2

The idea of a back up team in training - Gibbs 2 - is an intriguing idea. It takes time to bring agents up to speed, and the idea of cloning Gibbs would be desirable if the back up team develops the team work and loyalty.
It is too bad for the sake of the story that you had to kill off Ros. I liked her character.
One flaw that keeps popping up in the series and in fiction occurs when a team member is given a special assignment and told to keep the others out of the loop. Because this team is so close, not bringing all of them into it has led to disaster - they check up on each other and end up fouling up secret plans. The conclusion this leads me to is that in a close knit team, everyone needs to be on the same page, but not necessarily the same paragraph. The team should be told a member has a special op that requires limited briefing on a need to know basis. That would seem more respectful and allow passive support rather than separate unauthorized investigations that foul up the plan.
I hope that this story gets updated.

Thanks for your feedback. Mavericks is a series with a start point and a distinct end. Much of what you raise was intentional. :) I was surprised just how many people liked Ros. I guess when you are writing something you don't always see from the same perspective as the reader.

I'm getting down to the pointy end of the series. I have a lot of threads to tie together and hope to get another section out of the Christmas period.
