‘NCIS’ season 13 spoilers: First ‘Incognito’ photo focuses on Sean Murray, Emily Wickersham
The season 13 premiere of “NCIS” was certainly Gibbs-centered, but for those of you out there who do enjoy some members of the series’ supporting cast, have no fear: They are also going to get plenty of time in the spotlight moving forward.
The image that we have for you above is one of the first looks at the upcoming October 6 episode “Incognito,” which features Bishop (Emily Wickersham) and McGee (Sean Murray) having to go undercover as a married couple for a case. Given that these two typically have a goofy chemistry to begin with, seeing them function in this environment should be particularly interesting to watch.
We know that there are some stories coming up for both McGee and Bishop that are geared around some of their own real relationships, as opposed to the fake one that they are putting on here for this case. You are going to see Bishop try to work through some issues in her marriage, which are probably going about mostly due to the time taken up by her job. Meanwhile, McGee and Delilah are going to be living together, which is a nice change for the two given that for the majority of the past year or two, she has been mostly out of sight and out of mind in Dubai.
While we don’t know if either one of these personal stories is going to be particularly prevalent in this particular case, it is at least something to keep your eyes peeled for in the future.

I have always liked McGee. Bishop, not so much. This looks like a mixed bag. Maybe the writers will surprise me. That would be a change from being mostly bored with this show for two years. To make it clear, my problem is with TPTB and what they have done with a former rocko socko show not the actors. It’s hard to do a great job with a crumby script. They have gone two seasons now without a strong female lead. It’s a return to the pre-1960s era when women were part of the backdrop in shows that featured tough men but soft women. A woman who could take care of herself like TVs Emma Peel (The Avengers) or the James Bond ladies was shocking at first. Eventually it caught on and now, we have come to expect at least one strong women on our television crime dramas. The writing out of the strong woman on NCIS tells me a lot about the writers of this show.

I find McGee heavy episodes rather dull. I understand that McGee fans are happy for all the attention the character has had of late but I miss Tony getting good episodes that actually flatter him. I wish we’d see less McGee and more Tony this season instead of insignificant Tony with the writers trying to turn McGee into Gibbs’s right hand man. Honestly I don’t have much hope though. The current show runner seems determined to serve up the dramas and tragedies of Gibbs Show with a side of up and coming Timmy. I think they’re going to show Tony the door this season. I doubt they’ll even let him go out a hero. They don’t seem to care the least bit about him anymore.

Well, Glasberg seems to now be saying that they have plans for Tony this season. We will just have to see if he is telling the truth this time. For the last two years, Weatherly has not had much to do on the show. Shane Brennan and Bellisario used Tony a lot but Glasberg not so much. It’s kind of funny. Glasberg recently said how they were going to make “fundamental changes” to the show and how “fascinating” it is to watch it happen. I’ve watched all of his fundamental changes since season 11 and I don’t know if fascinating is what I would call them. They do take one’s breath away, however. It’s kind of like when I got hit right below the rib cage when I was about 10. A neighbor boy took a swing at a golf ball and let go of the club. It took about 5 minutes before I could catch my breath.again. I had that “what just happened?” response.

When Glasberg gets excited about some plan that he has for NCIS one can be 99.9 percent sure that it means another big Gibbs arc. I’ll believe Tony actually gets attention that comes to any good for or flatters the character only when I see it. He has turned Tony into a bubble bath loving, casserole baking non entity on the show. I can’t imagine this tiger changing his GIbbs obsessed stripes. IMO, we’re in for more mawkish GIbbs melodrama and Tony will be an after thought as usual.
