Well, it looks as if the summertime activities have started to impact viewership.  Some people are saying that the decrease in adult viewership is related to the so-called boycott against NCIS from the religious right because of the introduction of a gay character. I personally think that is a bunch of hooey.

Well, it's also preliminary election season, so that's likely effecting things. I know most of our local broadcast shows were preempted for election coverage... which took out NCIS and a couple of other shows.

I haven't even heard of this so-called boycott... must not be much of one.

Eh....I was just bored.

And there is no real boycott, it's a handful of families and I'd hesitate to call them the religious right by any stretch.

Aside from the political part of that, I really think viewership is down because NCIS has become boring and monotonous (for me anyway.) It just doesn't hold my attention like it did last season, and I didn't even care for the previous one very much. I don't like season 1 or much of season 2. The characters are awkward and....clunky. I'm also a little bias because I just never truly liked Kate, I didn't hate her but there was nothing I could relate to with her, nothing that interested me, except for her twisted love/hate for Ari. Though the cases had their twists more so then, which was nice.

But I also feel like, despite what the writers/actors are saying there is very little true character development, they push it off as such but it isn't. It's like they are pandering to one sect of the fandom each episode.

I'm just disappointed in NCIS this year. :( Sorry for the diatribe.

Ratings in the last quarter of the season always drop.

I have no further comment since I haven't watched a single ep this season.

belated disclaimer: I stopped watching roughly 15-20 minutes in because I was so bored. So I may be totally off about this episode. I heard the ending rocked but the rest just didn't hold my attention long enough to see.

The episode was boring and Dr. Ryan (even though I liked her the first time) is a creeper who wants to have a sandwich with Gibbs and Ducky. She's messing with the team too much.
