NCIS: LA SPOILER

[donutsweeper]

Question: What's the deal with Louise Lombard's exit from NCIS: Los Angeles? I thought she was great. Are they recasting the character, or making a new one entirely? --Amy
Ausiello: That's TBD. My guess? They'll introduce a new character. And as far as why Lombard got the boot, I hear Macy didn't test well with viewers.

Or, the ever cynical donutsweeper wonders if she got swept up with the fact the fans were just sick and tired of OMG ITS A GIBBS SEKKRIT and the magic of the year with twelve thousand days.....

He really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He really, really does. All he manages is to annoy the fans.

Although the Bones producers have him beat. Apparently there was a major kerfuffle regarding what was released to the press as to what would happen in the finale and what actually aired. Fans were seething.

*headdesk*

If your show itself can't drum up interest, you've got a problem. You shouldn't *need* to do more than come up with a good promo to get people to watch.

And good 'buzzwords'

I do find it odd that this year, with it's highest ratings ever, most fans I know seem to think it's the weakest season with the worst plots and character development.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yep. Once again, the ratings are, I think, directly due to the USA reruns making the *good* seasons readily available.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Although, honestly, I'm getting a little tired of NCIS's reruns. I click them on and *sigh* "seen it 10x already" and often turn it off. It's been overexposed.

I think the whole mess is going to come back to bite them.

and ncis:la isn't different enough. JAG and NCIS were entirely different shows. NCIS/NCIS:LA (*shudders at the name*) are practically the same thing.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

It'll be interesting to see if they can truly differentiate them. I'll give it a shot and see what they do with it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'll give it a shot too... but I don't have high hopes.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

The nice thing about low expectations is that it's hard to be disappointed. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

still possible though!

[tejas.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! SB does seem to be talented that way. Been hanging out with The Boyz from Bridge, maybe.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

let's hope not. Or let's hope he delegates a lot now that he has two shows.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Man, I *hope* so!
