While waiting for season two of NCIS: Origins to start, I thought I'd write a little bit about the inaugural season that aired last year.  Gibbs is back!  Well, sort of!  The series, as the name implies, is a prequel.  It's a prequel on two counts. First, it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he begins his career as a special agent at the Navy Investigative Service Camp Pendleton office. The show is set after the death of his wife and daughter, and Gibbs is one ginormous mess. Mike Franks tries to take him under his wing to get him out of his head, and out of his grief, and to adjust to being an investigator.  The other element of the prequel is that this series takes place before the agency becomes NCIS, so it's also about the genesis (or evolution?) of the organization.
