本店執行製作Gary Glasberg談S9前瞻 - 重返犯罪現場

SPOILER





























On E.J.'s next move: "She’s giving up her post in Spain and most likely
taking a leave of absence, if not more than that. We’ll have to see where
things end up for her."

On what E.J. removed from Gayne's body: "It’s intentionally mysterious. It’
s a little microchip and will absolutely be something that will come into
play next season."

On Gibbs leaving the door open for her return: "This show is good at picking
up things that haven’t been touched in awhile and revisiting them when
appropriate."

On Cobb's surprising surrender: "I wanted it to be very unexpected and to
take [the characters] by surprise as well. There’s a nice little moment
where they hesitate because they can’t even wrap their heads around the idea
that he’s walked in."

"So there’s a built-in pause that happens before they reach for their
weapons that was just a nice little touch that the actors decided to do that
I was really happy with."

On the idea for Operation Frankenstein: "We knew that Vance was facing some
significant issues after 'Enemies Foreign' and 'Enemies Domestic,' and we
recognized that his relationship with the Secretary of the Navy is a
complicated one."

"This was an opportunity to connect them both to an operation that they were
involved with that could explain some of the layers of their relationship."

"Operation Frankenstein was a concept Vance came up with. SECNAV thought it
was worth following through on. They attempted the project, and in many ways
it was successful. But there was one aspect that even SECNAV lost control of."

"At the end of this episode, SECNAV recognizes the flaws, and that a lot of
the weight of what happened falls on his shoulders, thus the analogy to the
pyramid. And then the decision ultimately is his to do the right thing and
resign."

On whether Gibbs knows it was Vance's idea: "I would imagine that Gibbs is
probably privy to how a lot of this unfolded, and in some ways, that will
even the playing field between Vance and Gibbs a little bit as they move into
next season."

"My goal is to have the team, as well as Gibbs and Vance, really have to work
together as a unit a little more in Season 9."

On bringing the team together in this year's finale: "It was a very conscious
decision on our part. We thought going into the ninth season, and because it
seems that audiences really respond when the group has to band together, that
it would be a nice change to enter a season from that standpoint instead of
breaking them up."

On the role of SECNAV next season: "He’s not an adversary, he just has a
different approach to things and there’s information that he’s privy to
that will drive us through a lot of Season 9. Politics and Washington are
gonna play a big part in this next season. It will give us the opportunity to
see another side of NCIS that we haven’t focused on as much."

On whether we've met the person Tony is "assigned" to: "Yes. And that story
line will probably pick up in the season opener. That’s definitely something
that will impact the team. I’m not sure yet how long it will go on, but it
will definitely have ramifications that we’ll follow through for awhile."

On Gibbs' basement project: "If you go all the way back to the mid-January
episode called 'Recruited,' that’s when we started to see Gibbs start to
build something new in the basement. Based on the letter that Gibbs had been
holding to from Franks, the suggestion is that that’s the time when Franks
wrote to him and told him about his illness, and knowing it was terminal, that
’s when Gibbs started to do this for his friend."

On the death of Mike: "It wasn’t an easy decision for us. We love Muse
Watson, we love the character, their relationship is very special and unique."

"The interesting thing is, we were very happy with the way that 'Swan Song'
came out and the use of Franks as this voice that spoke to Gibbs internally."

"The opportunity is there for that conscience or voice to return again at
some point. So I won’t say that is the last time that you’re gonna see Muse
Watson."

On Ray's text reading “Kort in Tel Aviv. Handle ASAP.”: "Well, it’s
supposed to leave you thinking, not only about the relationship of Ray Cruz
to his fellow CIA agent Kort and what his assignment is, but also the fact
that Kort is in Israel and how that relates to Ziva and her father. That’s
something we’ll definitely return to, probably not in the Season 9 premiere."

"Again, one of the highlights for me of working on this show is being able to
plant new seeds and revisit them as the new season progresses."

On the McAbby moment: "They have a history together and an emotional
connection, and I’m anxious to see what the new season might bring for the
two of them. We’ll see as we go along and hopefully have some fun."

On Ziva and Ray: "[They are] a little open-ended at the moment. There isn’t
any closure to it. We’ll have to see where it leads, but I think he was
pretty clear that he has a job to do at the moment, and that’s gonna be the
primary focus for him."

On Jimmy's engagement: "I have a feeling that the diehard fans are gonna
really enjoy the fact that Palmer is engaged. There has never been an NCIS
wedding, and that might be something fun that we can take advantage of later
on."

What did you take away from last night's NCIS season finale, and how do you
see these events taking shape when the show returns for Season 9? Discuss
below!
