My opinion on the backdoor pilot? I like the characters. It seems like a mellower version of NCIS but there are already strong indications that even in this show, team would equal family, no matter what Macy said. I think that we would need more scenes with the new people, see them interact with each other to get the proper feel of them. But I do hope that they will pick it up!
* I don't know if Gibbs taking McGee instead of Tony is good or bad. I mean, through that, Gibbs handed over the investigations in Washington DC to Tony. Did he do that because he trusts him to do a good job or did he just not want to take him with to LA?
* I loved the scene between Gibbs and Calen...
* The look Abby gave Tony when he ordered her to shut up about her findings on Michael. Her whispered "Tony..." And Ducky's reaction to Tony's questioning!
* And the look on Tony's face when Ziva lied to him! She actually lied him in the face. If she told him the truth, he would be still irked and jealous, but she lied! You could feel Tony literally growing cold. If there's one thing that Tony hates more than anything, it's when other people lie to him and Ziva knows it, too!

Plus as it was a big case he probably wanted his Senior Agent running things back at HQ. Also who knows if Tony would have an adverse reaction to being back in LA?
I think Ziva lying to Tony at that point was mainly her not wanting Tony involved in what she thinks is her love life (if I remember she doesn't know that Michael is involved in anything yet). So it's more like she doesn't want him sticking his nose into her private business. Which honestly at this point in the game unless she wants him involved (in her private life that is) he needs to butt out. Then again Tony wants to know everything about everything.
Arguing about Arguing! hehehe!

I'm really curious about the spin-off now. It has a different feel than NCIS but you can already feel the characters' team-ness. Calen telling Mace that he just looks out for his family... Aww!
