Ugh, I'm so sorry this latest ep sucked so badly. I don't watch NCIS: LA, but I can sympathize--I gave up on NCIS (original flavour) a long time ago because of the show's ridiculously incoherent logic of "This is patriotic! Even though it really isn't! But it is because we said so! QED!" I just couldn't take it any more, even after Bellisario left. I'm sorry to see that kind of writing has migrated to NCIS: LA.

I've only ever seen the pilot of NCIS: LA so I can't comment on the characters, but I kind of like that Kensi is played by an actress who is a Sephardic Jew. I don't know if her character has the same background, though.
