Lo and behold, the product of my insomnia!

- NCIS? That anything like CSI?
- Only if you're dyslexic.
Brief introduction: Now in its sixth season on CBS, NCIS is a spin-off of JAG and is the rare spin-off show that surpasses its predecessor in every way. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the branch of the government that investigates all major criminal activity which involves the US Navy or Marine Corps.
Wikipedia describes it as "being distinguished by its comedy elements, ensemble acting and character-driven plots." I find this so accurate that I'm not going to bother paraphrasing. I am not usually a big fan of anything can be even loosely described a "police procedural." Psych and Life on Mars (UK) are probably the only other exceptions I make to that rule. (And maybe Life... I'm becoming fond of that too.) But like just about every other show that I love, the characters are what makes NCIS so good. Their interaction and relationships, their humor and their flaws.
So the picspam begins with character introductions.
Good screencaps of this show are a little more difficult to find than some more popular shows, so I had to resort to more episode promotional stills than I would have liked, but hopefully the quoteage sprinkled in will help make my case.
