There were some mentions of Eli David but the episode mainly focused on DiNozzo and his dad. I think it would be a bit much having three episodes in November revolving around the same storyline. Yes, I know they do it in May but that's when those are the last new episodes you get to watch until autumn.
It was awesome seeing Bruce Boxleitner back on TV.
ETA: the original video I posted may have appeared in a hinky fashion on the interwebs. CBS has issued a different sneak peek which now appears under the spoiler cut.
...at the end of the teaser last night it shows Ziva questioning Eli. No clue as to whether Vance survived, although it looks like there's a scene with Gibbs and DiNozzo in a hospital.
I bet that Liat is the baddie, just for the fact viewers may get to see Ziva go ninja on her arse.
Promo will be posted whenever the 30-second version is released.
OK, that was a major disappointment. Just drawing some random never-been-seen-before guy out of the head as the solution to a two-part episode is on the same level as "modify the deflector shield frequency so their attacks will drain their energy supply" - lazy writing and basically a deus ex maccina solution.
I couldn't agree more. They wasted good opportunities on two fronts: to bring the Israelis back in a more important role (plus the "Ziva replacement chick" was just annoying) and to shed some light on Leon's past.
