'NCIS' Season 10 finale - 'Damned If You Do': The dead just keep popping up

15 May 2013 2:52 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

With familiar faces from the past, dramatic endings and hints of the future, "Damned If You Do," closed out the 10th season of "NCIS" Tuesday (May 14). It also showed why this series just keeps on going -- it reveres its past while not being afraid to blow things up.

The episode opens with a dream sequence in which Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is fishing with his late mentor, Mike Franks (Muse Watson, proving once again that death is no impediment to ongoing guest appearances). After some talk about the inadequacies of catch-and-release fishing, Franks pumps gunshots into the water. He vanishes, but Gibbs soon finds himself surrounded by floating bodies that just keep rising to the surface.

By the end of this labyrinth episode, Department of Defense Investigator -- and apparently experienced blackmailer -- Richard Parsons (Colin Hanks) fails, at least for the moment, in his quest to »

NCIS Boss Weighs In on Cote de Pablo's Status, Says Ziva's Perilous Arc Is Pure Coincidence

That Agent Ziva David has embarked on a dangerous, season-ending mission to avenge her father’s death while portrayer Cote de Pablo is the only cast member not yet set to return to NCIS in the fall is pure coincidence, says showrunner Gary Glasberg.

“I have absolutely no qualms telling you that this storyline” — launched by the double murder of Eli David and NCIS director Leon Vance’s wife Jackie — “is something I was talking about last spring,” Glasberg asserts to TVLine.

NCIS Calls Back Old Jag Buddy John M. Jackson

16 April 2013 4:36 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

You know you’re sending your cast through the ringer when it’s necessary to bring back a character from a television show that has not aired since 2005 in order to bail them out. NCIS will be looking toward Jag, the series it originally spun off of, for help during its Season 10 finale, which will, according to Ep Gary Glasberg, change everything for the NCIS team. So which former Jag star will be brought out of retirement? We have about seven to choose from. Could it be Harm, the original series’ lead? Or perhaps it’ll be Mac. Actually, it will be neither of those two. NCIS is welcoming back Judge Advocate General A.J. Chegwidden!

John M. Jackson played Chegwidden for nine seasons before leaving the series in 2004, before it’s final year. That was nearly a decade ago, so what has the character been up to since then? »

19 March 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Lost" fan favorite Terry O'Quinn has joined Fox's drama pilot "Gang Related" in a leading role.

Deadline reports the Emmy-winning actor will play police chief Sam Chapel who oversees the San Francisco Police Department's Gang Task Force. O'Quinn replaces Tom Berenger ("Hatfields & McCoys") in the role after the actor exited the project following the first cast table read.

Ramon Rodriguez also stars in the pilot written by Chris Morgan, directed by Allen Hughes and executive produced by Brian Grazer.

O'Quinn has been a steady presence on TV since his "Lost" role as John Locke made him a star. He headlined ABC's doomed "666 Park Avenue" this season and also had recurring roles on CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" and TNT's "Falling Skies." His past TV credits include "The West Wing," "Alias," "Jag" and "Millennium." »
