Suspense is at a fever pitch in this strong conclusion to the classic season opener. With so much jeopardy involved and Ari the loose, plus solid spy goings-on led by Ziva (and not working for the home team) and more black humor. Bellisario has a knack of involving all the characters without ruining the plotting or making matters get silly.
The foibles of these characters are endearing and, again with the benefit of hindsight, it seems obvious that they would earn #1 status on tv and endure so long (including endless syndication). But I wonder how the show can continue with less interesting replacements.
