The premise of “Swan Song”–Gibbs coping with Mike Franks’ death–seemed a little implausible to me. I think it’s just me, but I found it really odd that Gibbs would just call Mike and Mike would show up like that and then get killed. As for the death itself, I never cared that much about Mike, but the reactions to his death was what really mattered and the actors did a good job with that.
That last scene was really intense–and I’m not kidding–like Breaking Bad or The Shield intense. Now the question is, will more people die in the season finale? Given NCIS’s track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if EJ and her team die.
Score: 8.9/10
