Go, Bishop!

I love Bishop! What a great character. NCIS's strength is its character work, and Bishop is a geek like McGee, an eccentric like Abby, and a professional like all of the team, but all in all, an individual

Great episode, curious casting

The actual US SecNav at the time this aired was Ray Mabus, former Governor of Mississippi and former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He was 65 at the time and a member of the DC old boy network, appointed by President Obama and approved by Congress.

So who to cast? Alan Alda? Corben Bernsen? No. Let's go with a tall attractive redhead. Leslie Hope!

I like Leslie Hope but she's usually a too smart for her own good investigator or reporter who won't give up her source while flirting with the male lead. Not a dupe carrying a bug into classified meetings. But, eh, it's TV, why not?

Bishop first struck me as an anorexic oddball but I thought she could prove herself in time. And as for anorexic, oh no. Emily Wickersham is athletic. Go check sites that post celebrities posed in provocative (skimpy) wardrobe styles. She's really hot and not covered with unflattering (drunken) tattoo choices.

I enjoyed this season not knowing that soon, DiNozo, Abby and eventually Bishop would be gone.

Now i remember why i stopped watching new episodes...

Bishop. I have been binge watching NCIS from the beginning, and yep... Bishop. She wouldbe ok as a guest of the week or a quirky background occasional character. She is grating.... and i remember losing interest in the show because of her.

I'll probably be fast forwarding or skipping episodes going further with the binging to current.

Bishop, really a serious replacement for Ziva?!

What a horrible character and actress. Bishop can't act. She has one expression for every situation. Her character is even worse. She acts like a middle school kid not a professional working for a government agency. Sitting cross-legged on a desk or floor where visitors past going to the NCIS Director's office. Really? She can't follow orders or listen to good advice from agents with years of experience. And a really unbelievable character. She weights maybe 100lbs soaking wet and later in the series, she knocks out a 250lb SF-type guy with one punch. The Gibbs of years past would have put her on the road and never considered her. My question is, who's daughter or girl friend is she. Or who lost the bet. The other question is, is she really the best actress they could find. I've seen all of the NCIS seasons a couple of times and know she stays on the show for five years. Going through the series again already looking forward to her leaving.

If it wasn't for her, this show would be pretty good. Luckily, the other characters can barely overcome her character.
