Procedural Update: NCIS "In The Zone" (S05E15) Review
This week on NCIS "In The Zone", Tony and Jardine go to Bagdad's green zone to investigate a Marine's murder. Here is our review of this NCIS episode:
The Good
It was a treat to see more of the character of Jardine. I always liked her character and wished that they would give her more screentime. Hopefully, this will resonate with the audience as well.
I also liked to see Ziva show her jealous side when Tony and Jardine are hanging out together in Iraq.
The Bad
The actual murder plot was a little too convoluted for my taste. There are plot holes as big as the grand canyon on this one. *SPOILER ALERT* Like how did the contractor manage to set up the elaborate plan to kill the marine? He's a freaking contractor, not a military genius.
The Ugly
The story line of Jardine and the Iraqi kids was not believable. If your dad was killed by the US army while he was trying to help a US soldier, would you be all chummy with the sister of said-soldier. I know I am knit-picking but still
Overall, this NCIS episode was just slightly above average. It could have been improved if the murder plot was more believable.

At the end of last week's episode, the CIA guy turned the CIA back over to Jenny... now suddenly he's still the acting director? That's a pretty big continuity blunder, if you ask me.
I hadn't heard the rumor that someone is leaving the show, but it's obviously the Director. They've implied (very directly) that there is some kind of medical condition, and the obvious implication is that it's terminal...
The part that wasn't believable, was Jardine giving the young girl a laptop computer with no accessories, like say a way to keep it powered. And, how exactly was she supposed to connect with the outside world with it? I guess it was equipped with that new Satellite Area Network card.
Yes! Jason you are totally right! I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching the episode. "What about the power cord?" But then again, did they even have electricity?
I thought of those things too. Plus, she was able to just give away a government computer (which was, no doubt, secure)? Come ON!
