NCIS – Finale on May 19

NCIS (May 19, CBS)
Executive producer Shane Brennan suspects that he will catch some heat — as he did a year ago, when he killed Jenny Shepard and brought in Leon Vance — for the season-ending shocker he has planned this time around. “It will come at you from left field,” he tells us, “but it will be a fun ride.” As such, his advice to fans apes that from last spring: “Buckle up, and hang in there until September.” As for talk that Gibbs’ team will be downsized by one in the finale, Brennan says, “That’s not correct … but it’s not wrong either. People are just going to have to watch.”
