NCIS Season Seven Premiere

 Not really spoiler-ish, but just in case!
When we first started getting the promotional clips for the premiere of Season Seven, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. It was fairly obvious from the teaser trailer exactly what it was that Tony was up to.

I wasn't sure exactly how I felt about Tony apparently trekking off on a rescue mission. It was strange. As much as I used to love Ziva, I found myself unable to care whether or not she was back for a new season after the cluster that was Season Six.

I'm not going to go into details about every single thing that happened during the episode, because if you're a fan, you watched it and there's no point in me recapping, but some of the things worth mentioning:

*I can now completely forgive McGee for his douchebaggery last season.
*Michael Weatherly did an amazing job.
*I kind of hated Abby during the last two seasons, but even in the short amount of time she was in the episode, she redeemed herself as well.
*Gibbs is... well, Gibbs. He seemed to be more Gibbs-like in this episode than he was all last season which was nice.
* ETA- Two Words: SHOULDER. HOLSTER. Need I say more?

The beginning of the episode was weird for me, but by the very end? I'm not going to lie. I might have had a tear or two in my eye. Season Six very nearly ruined NCIS for me, but in just one hour Season Seven has drawn me back in.
