NCIS: LA 518-524

[katikat]

The last 7 episodes were really bland, me thinks. I saw no real arc there, no build-up to the finale, nothing. It was boring. And the last episode... eh. I'm not really sold on the whole submarine thing and Sam and Callen lost. I didn't feel any urgency...

You know, this show used to be my favorite series on TV. But these days, it feels same-old-same-old. Like a pair of comfortable old shoes. IMHO, the show needs a good shake-up, it needs to be thrown off the rails by something completely unexpected that brings some permanent change, no reset button.

Things I liked this season:

- Nell in general. That girl grew on me like woah!
- Matthew Del Negro!
- How they handled Daniela Ruah's pregnancy.

Things I didn't like:

- Sam and Callen's relationship seems to have grown stale.
- Sam always talks about his wife and daughter these days - during the first few seasons, he didn't even mention them and now he talks about them with perps?
- Can Sam please never, ever have another Sudan/Africa in general related arc?

Also, the series is on the move. Next season, it'll air on Monday at 10pm.
