Am I the only one who likes the new agents?

I thought they fit in better than I expected.

I like the guy right off. The woman will probably grow on me.

The whole she's an old friend of Gibbs' wore on me. It felt forced to me but I think that was because I've watched the show for soooooo long. That she's been training probies for years set up a fun little thing with Bishop but if she was such a friend of Gibbs and been doing training for so long wouldn't she know what he's looking for? I'd would have preferred a scenario where she's been an agent around the world and he'd always tried to get her to join his team and now she's a trainer in DC and Gibbs' tries again to get her to join. It would have been a fun little game to see them back and forth about that.

I actually really liked them.

Love, both new agents. Tim*s character is so tired now days. Bishop had energy like Tim use to have. (I am from Finland, i hope you understand what i say).

I'm going to have to wait and see on Torres. I love Jennifer Esposito, so I liked her.

Torres definitely picked up the pace and action in the first episode. I'm hoping they lean more in that direction, with less forced humor and more action...the last few seasons have been lightweight.

I also like Quinn, she's sarcastic but smart and believable. Not as strong a character as Torres or even Ziva, but definitely the most interesting female since Ziva. I'm glad they're still producing the show. It took a couple of seasons and some cast changes to get everything in place. This could prove to be the best cast lineup since Seasons 3-8. I thought the 'growth' of all the characters worked...and I felt Tony became Ziva's protector, even though she didn't need it. She kicked ass and he followed through, that's how they worked out their partnership.

As far as the new characters, it'll be interesting to see where the writers take them. In the first few episodes of the first season, DiNozzo didn't know anything about movies and then around episode 6 or 7 he was an encyclopedia of movies. Ziva was a bit annoying to me at first, however the rapport between her and Tony worked well. I thought Tim was more interesting when he was geeky and nervous and the three of them with Gibbs were fun to watch.

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of Bishop's...and her character has gotten even more bland since she started. I'm hoping with the addition of Torres and Quinn, Bishop and McGee will be somewhat of the second string which is a good thing because that's where their strengths lie. Every show needs good supporting actors.

Anyway, I was really very surprised at how much I liked the first episode of this season...the first time in a long time I'm looking forward to watching each week.

BTW...It's hard to believe Torres (Wilmer Valderamma) was once 'Fez' on "That 70's Show." A very big change...and a good one!

I will give it a chance.
I really don't care for Wilmer Valderama's work in the past. But, I will see how he does.

Bishop was given silly quirks, eating all the time... sitting on the floor... They had to do something to get people to start empathizing with her, so they made her husband a jerk.

Tim just kind of rides along in the car, stands in the office, and not much else anymore... either give him something to actually do... or get rid of the character.

For me Tony's character jumped the shark with that HORRIBLE episode "Under Covers" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0658036/
Just a contrived way to get them in bed together. BLEAH!!!!!!!!! Just stupid and I turned the episode off when that crap started.

I don't like them because there's THREE of them. Three of them to replace one, when the cast was already large. The two I've seen so far, I like o.k. (although I agree with the criticisms above), haven't seen the third guy. But just pick one. Three is too much and I really like all the pre-existing characters, especially McGee, and I don't want to see less of them. I'm already finding myself less interested in the show.
