aboveboard , forget Mark Harmon ’s return to the flagship forNCISfor season 22 . The franchise has a more compelling chance to reelect the original Leroy Jethro Gibbs , and it had well take it . Harmon ’s centralNCIScharacter established the franchise , with the thespian staying on board for nearly 20 years . Ultimately , Mark Harmon exitedNCISin season 19 , but fan still miss his brash , charming presence . Although Harmon retort inNCIS : Originsto help give up off and tell apart the story of the federal agent ’s background at NIS , theFreaky Fridayactor ’s theatrical role left me feel like Gibbs had n’t actually returned .
Harmon narrates theNCIS : Originsstoryfrom his closing off in Naktok Bay . The Agent in Charge move back to Alaska after a vitrine brought him and McGee ( Sean Murray ) to the State Department , and Gibbs decided to abide there when he realized the profound common sense of peace the landscape painting brought him . Thus , in thesharedNCISuniverse , Gibbs is still an island . While Josiah Willard Gibbs refund toNCIS : Originswas necessary , and his role in the show nominate sensation , I desire a more real representation of Gibbs , who can interact with the other character . That said , Gibbs’NCISreunion ca n’t go on on the flagship .
NCIS' Main Show Has Mostly Moved On From Gibbs
Gary Cole Now Leads The NCIS Flagship
While Gibbs would be receive back to the flagship with open arms , it is n’t the safe spot for Harmon ’s tax return . Those involve in the production ofNCISafter Harmon allow have fought for the series to abide on its own . Many were conservative in think thatNCISwould live after Harmon ’s exit , but the series paved the way for a different show after Gibbs left . His permutation as the supervisory agent , Gary Cole as Alden Parker , has been Gibbs ' opposite and did n’t allow us with the opportunity to discuss how a Gibbs - like agent would feel after Harmon ’s departure .
The serial publication has worked hard to distinguish itself as worthy of continue without Harmon , and compromise that at this join simply does n’t make sense to me .
With the show midway through its third time of year without Harmon , it would finger like a footstep back to bring Gibbs back toNCIS.The serial has worked hard to distinguish itself as worthy of extend without Harmon , and compromising that at this juncture simply does n’t make sense to me . Moreover , while Gibbs is skinny with someNCISseason 22 lineament , like Sean Murray ’s Timothy McGee and Brian Dietzen ’s Jimmy Palmer , there ’s anotherNCISspinoff show where Gibbs has even firm connections . His appearance on that show would avoid the trouble with the flagship altogether while provide an evenly comforting reunion .
I Think Gibbs' Connection To Tony & Ziva Would Truly Justify Mark Harmon Returning
Michael Weatherly & Cote de Pablo Will Return As Gibbs' Top Agents
Even if Harmon wanted to render to the flagship , hisNCISreunion would n’t include some of Gibbs ' most vital connectedness . Harmon ’s return to theNCISfranchise in theNCIS : Tony & Zivaspinoff is the perfect opportunityfor his part ’s revival . The developmental choice would put Gibbs alongside Tony and Ziva , which has monolithic appeal for fans , myself included . Gibbs ferment alongside Cote de Pablo ’s Ziva David and Michael Weatherly ’s Tony DiNozzo , his aged theatre of operations federal agent , for days . While Gibbs often antagonized Tony or was decisive of Ziva , the agents have saved each other ’s life-time on countless occasion .
The ever - popular NCIS universe of discourse continues to spread out as a Modern spinoff about Tony and Ziva has officially been announced by Paramount+ .
Fans of theNCISflagship know Gibbs has an indelible bond with Tony and Ziva . While he had a funny way of showing it sometimes , Gibbs do by the special agents like his own children . Ziva even inhale Gibbs to come out of retirementinNCISseason 4 . Gibbs could be motivated to leave his isolation again if Weatherly and de Pablo ’s character were in danger . Moreover , I would love to see Harmon ’s appearance onNCIS : Tony & Zivabe more than just a one - off occasion . The spinoff could interweave Harmon into the narrative , embellishing the account with deep - seated meaning .
Gibbs Could Help Bridge The Gap Between NCIS & The Spinoff
NCIS: Tony & Ziva Is Quite Different From The Flagship
Indulging in Harmon ’s cryptical connexion to Tony and Ziva would be more than just an understandable pull for fans ; it could be a lively link to the spinoff show ’s success . While Tony and Ziva are family names for enfranchisement aficionados , their spinoff show differentiates itself from the flagship . Most notably , NCIS : Tony & Zivais streaming on Paramount+ rather than broadcast on CBS , whereevery otherNCISspinoff showhas debut . The show ’s streaming format will grant for a serialize story , dealing less with adjective element in favor of more over - arching personal narratives . And Harmon could aid attach it all together .
While Josiah Willard Gibbs ' appearance alongside Tony and Ziva would n’t be utter without McGee , they could cultivate Sean Murray into the tale , too , making for the perfect reunion .
Admittedly , I enjoy what they ’re doing withNCISseason 22 , but the show does n’t have the same collection as when Gibbs , Tony , and Ziva were all in the bullpen . I eff I ’m not alone when I say I would love to see Harmon reunify with Weatherly and de Pablo . what is more , this could be theNCISfranchise ’s good chance for Josiah Willard Gibbs to return and for it to imply something to fans . IfNCISpasses on the opportunity to have Gibbs alongside two of his most entrust agent , Tony and Ziva , they will squander the perfect chance to boast Gibbs again .
TheNCISfranchise is an American media dealership that concentre on military - interrelate criminal investigations by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service . It start withNCISin 2003 , a twirl - off fromJAG , and has since spread out to include multiple spin - offs set across different locations .
