Episode Review. Season 7x24 - Rule Fifty-One
Firstly I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has read my reviews (be it one, all or a handful) throughout this season. Also thanks to those of you who have commented on them (again be it on one, all of a handful); I've certainly enjoyed the discussions we've had. I know there have been times that we haven't always agreed on parts, but

Right ;) Or he is already there. We don't know when this scene took place. It could be, while Gibbs was working hard on his new rule (*g*) or hours/days later ... We will see. But either way: Jackson isn't going to die.
Hmmm, I see what you're saying, but I respectfully disagree that she and Bell helped him at all; they just made it much, much easier for the cartel to do what they did. My take was Bell, Hart and cronies did all the work and the Reynosa took advantage of it. Otherwise why wait for nearly 20 years to track Gibbs down?
Oh, no. They didn't help in on purpose. They wanted to hurt him/bring him down (or find something to blackmail him)= get him out of the way. And by investigating him and approaching him, they indirectly warned him. So that he could act rather than react (when it was already too late). So, as you said: They made it much easier for him (without knowing it or wanting to)
I found it a 'meh' rule as well. I was expecting something a lot more than that.
That's true. I had expected something different, too. Hm ... speaking for expectations. Nici's rule #1 (1=most important one): Don't expect too much of NCIS (or any other TV show).
I have the feeling that overall it was another weak season (for me). I can always tell, when there isn't much I can remember without thinking hard about it. Or if I don't feel the urge to watch the episode a second time (for example: I watched the Lost finale three times on Monday and I would've watched it another time, if it wasn't already late).
I don't know, but I felt this way with season 6 (I'm still at episode 4 with my re-watch) and I do the same with season 7, while I have no problem to grab my season 1-5 DVD no and watch episodes for the rest of the day without getting bored ;)

That is true, but that in no way makes either of them good folk, IMO.

Oh, I never do expect too much. You know me and my realistic pessimism, so I have low expectations as it was, thus to end up with something even lower, it hard going :-(
For me it's S1&2 I could watch over and over and over and over. I'm not sure if it's above or below S6 either. At one point it was definitely above, but now I'm not sure.

No, it doesn't. And that wasn't what I wanted to say. I like Hart as a character, but she played her game with Gibbs and she wasn't honest with him. She isn't a good person (although, I have to admit, that a part of me thinks that in the end she is just another victim of Bell and/or Dean and that they used her), but I still like her. Somehow ... ;) Though, I wasn't trying to defend her or Bell (if that makes sense).
I haven't expected too much either, but still ... it was - like you said - even lower that what I had hoped for :(
