I think they're writing him out and Jimmy is going to replace him as ME. Of the rest of the team, the only ones we know are safe are Tony and Ziva. McGee was in the squad room and we saw the windows blow in. Gibbs was in the lab with Abby and grabbed her just as the bomb went off.

Managed to watch Revolution last night. Interesting premise but I'll have to hope they actually give it a chance to get an audience rather than "3 weeks and canceled" like so many these past few years.

Edit: Just saw a commercial for the NCIS season premiere and so far I can sum it up in three words: Gibbs is PISSED!!!

I've read articles about what's going on with David McCallum (Ducky's actor). They keep talking about trying to put characters in different lights, different spots. I don't think they have plans to get rid of him, especially since he just signed a contract that's supposed to be.. two years? So no.

We have everyone still, but I think Ducky's gonna be stepping back a bit and letting Jimmy grow into the job a bit more.

More than likely. Poor Jimmy's going to be so flustered. I'm ECSTATIC he's in the cast line up this season though! He's been there 8, 9 years as a "reoccurring character" now he's FINALLY part of the main cast.

Did anyone watch the premiere of Vegas that was on after NCIS: LA Tuesday? The pilot was pretty good. I hope it gets enough viewers to stay on for a while.

I caught some of it. I honestly don't think it's gonna be that big. Gibbs does the cowboy thing better, CSI handles Vegas, granted this is in a different time. It seemed really choppy. Like they're trying to get the '60s, the Wild West and mash them together.

So, my pal Zeus gave me a little DC bad news / good news. Apparently, "Young Justice" is going to be cancelled (along with its sister show "Green Lantern"). They never gave that show a decent chance. Radical changes in theme, storylines, and then the odd and spontaneous break for several weeks after only a few episodes aired.

The good news? Apparently, Cartoon Network has OK'ed "Teen Titans Go!". From the way it's pitched, it seems almost like a continuation of the old Teen Titans cartoon that I adored so much (glances to the right at the BB icon for his avatar) with a slightly increased emphasis on humor. They've even got all of the original voice actors reprising their roles from the original show.

Sorry, only reason I watched TT was Raven and her irritation with Starfire's eternal cheerfulness. I enjoyed YJ and GL immensly though. X(

Defiance. Seems pretty good so far, anyway. A little Eureka mixed with a bit of Gunsmoke, and maybe a dash of Babylon 5 then add a pinch of Shakespearean intrigue. Also, Stephanie Leonidas. Humina. :x
