First: This is going to be my first review ever. I beg your pardon. Second: I don't write my mother tongue. I beg your pardon.

Berlin! Cosmopolitan city in Germany. And Ziva and Tony travel there … Let me put the negative first: As in many non-German movies the film makers commit the common error to mistake Bavaria for Germany, in this case especially Prussia. (You can call Prussia and Bavaria sworn enemies. (/irony off)) I don't think you get Bavarian leather trousers as a souvenir on the Museum Island Berlin. And I also doubt you would hear Bavarian folk music in a street café in Berlin while a waitress in a Bavarian dirndl serves a "Maß" – a common size of a beer glass on the Oktoberfest in Bavarian Munich (it's 1 liter).

Despite all this the show is a consequent continuation of some story arcs regarding the series characters. Some people may find answers on questions they asked when thinking about Ziva and how incidents of former episodes might have affected her. It's well done in my eyes.

Whom I want to emphasize is Marina Sirtis. She's doing a great play. I like her much more here than in Star Trek – older and wiser and better, and more beautiful, too.

Last: This episode is a must for those who are interested in the development of the show's characters. Those who want a good old murder on a member of the Navy won't find for what they seek.

NCIS is the best
dorothy-herrmann23 April 2013
Love NCIS, doesn't matter if it is an older show or not best show ever. Wish they would follow through instead of skipping around go in order. Start rerunning season 2012 from the beginning. I know there are shows I have missed, often you will run a show and there is a part two and then I can't find part two! I know the new shows air on CBS on Tuesdays. I still love to watch the older shows like I said start with season 2012 and start at the beginning and go all the way through some nights I watch it back to back all afternoon. Love every character on the show every single one of the main players! Never get rid of any of the main players if at all possible.

The hunt continues for Eli & Jackie's killer....
anna_s_6852130 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers for this episode indicated we'd have the heat of season 10's finale arc beginning with this episode. What some might have expected as the team hunting for the Mossad assistant director who is believed to have orchestrated the deaths of two people instead turned into the catering to a small part of the fan base.

Viewers of Berlin were treated to a nauseating and not realistic episode that featured Tony & Ziva as growing ever closer in a relationship that few fans see as romantic. The episode included a dance, a conversation on bed and an even more 'heartfelt' conversation in the car on the way home that ended with hand holding and a cliffhanger.

Is 'Berlin' worth the time of the average viewer? No - it's a present only to those fans who see a romance between two characters.
