They wrote off dinozzo in NCIS, and honestly, he was the only reason I was still watching. Cote de pablo essentially drove a stake through the heart of the show, and bishop just seemed like she escaped from one of the spinoffs.
They gave ms. De Pablo a pretty hard golly off too, killing her offscreen a good two years after she left the show.
They didn't really need to kill her, or pay for a cameo, it was established in several episodes that they converse by IM to keep things under the radar. I know the actor who plays Ducky, David Mccallum had some bad blood against her.
A couple times it was hinted that Dinozzo was part of an ONI project, like the killer who took out franks, I thought a good way for him to exit would be a faked death and then an induction, like he's got a bag on his head, the bag is removed, and then a previously thought dead character says "welcome aboard" cut to black. Like the end of the movie basic.
I just downloaded the amc app because the amc website won't stream to an android browser and watched the pilot for preacher. That was a ride. I thought some of the fights in the bourne films were claustrophobic, this show now takes the crown.
I'm not familiar with the source material, but I think the show did a good job of showing without telling, without leaving you lost like the new star wars film did with that snoke politician and the first order, or Ben Solo being an emo douchebag.
Back to the show, I don't want to spoil anything, but the show feels right. It's slow when it needs to be, fast when it needs to be, and surprises don't feel cheap.
Oh, and Tom Cruise explodes to death in a church of scientology ceremony.
