It's only been a few episodes of the NCIS spinoff, NCIS: LA so far, which has not gone down too well with existing NCIS fans. I'm just watching it to see if it gets any better and also out of habit (which is why I watch CSI spinoffs; also why I've never really bothered with Law & Order)
There's a piece at TV Squad about the subject which voices a lot of people's (silent) opinions about the show so far. All I have are stuff that randomly pop up in my head when I watch the show:
- The theme song is not very memorable - maybe it's some generic library music or something. I could barely recall it, and I'm a sucker for theme music. NPH has a point about the lack of good TV theme music this decade.
- Everytime I see Chris O' Donnell, I'm only gonna remember that he played Robin in that Batman movie. Don't even get me started on the Robin jokes.
- Speaking of O' Donnell, how can he not know what his character's first name is? Don't they have that kind of information in some government database somewhere?
- Furnishing in their new office (since moved to a "condemned" building) - a little er, different.
- What is Hetty (Linda Hunt)'s role on the show and in the office? Quartermaster? So far she's only given them car keys and clothes.
- Everytime I see Hetty, I think Edna Mode in The Incredibles.
- How can they introduce Macy (Louise Lombard) in the backdoor pilot, only to have her on for guest appearances?
- Like McGee in NCIS, they also have a token newbie in Dom (Adam Jamal Craig).
