Judgment Day (aka NCIS explodes)

FYI: Spoilers from Season 5 Finale: Judgment Day. You have been warned!

All summer we'll bemoan the loss of Jenny, or not, depending on what you thought of her and Gibbs and how she used Tony for her private ops. We're happy Gibbs is still alive. Most think the show would crash without him, see ratings at the end of season 3 after Hiatus. (A beach in Mexico is much closer than six feet under as we found out with Kate [Sasha Alexander]. No we're not looking forward to the team's nightmares when Jenny haunts them in the near future.) Many were glad to see Mark Harmon in the opening credits at the beginning of season 4. The question now being asked: how many of the 'regulars' will we see in the opening credits of season 6.

No word from Director Leon about Abby, Ducky or Palmer. Palmer does count for those counting. Leon doesn't yet. NCIS has many lab techs, probably more than one medical examiner and assistants to said examiners. I seriously doubt that Gibbs gets one ME all to himself, but maybe not. He does get Abby and she will have a fit if they try to take her from Gibbs' team.

Next question: the team's broken up now, far as Leon's concerned. Does that mean all the get-togethers the NCIS fans have been writing about for years will finally come true? (I did say far as Leon was concerned the team was busted up, didn't say Gibbs. And because the second 'B' is still there we won't bet on it just yet.) Sorry Jibbs fans, wasn't in the cards, well it was 9-10 years back, but no longer. Is Col. Mann going to show up to console Gibbs? We'll think about that one.

We do know what Mike Franks does with evidence though and that would be worth it to see the look on Leon's face when he gets walked out the door by the MP's (we can only hope). Or maybe Ziva will find some justice more 'Biblical' to invoke on him. Wonder if Mossad needs an agent on the Reagan. That would make Tony's life bearable, maybe.

But enough speculation, I'm sure many have many more and I've not had time to read the wiki yet so bear with me. I'm sure I won't finish reading all of it until next summer.
