NCIS - Season 11 - Gary Glasberg talks spin-off and the rest of the season

Mar 26, 2014

Following the spin-off episodes, Glasberg says the show will power toward its season finale, which will be a tribute to Ralph Waite, who died in February at 85. “We’ve talked about [the episode] since Ralph’s passing, and I think we’ve come up with a really great crime story that will bookend into the passing of Jackson Gibbs. That’s going to be a really emotional storyline that Mark Harmon has been involved with since day 1. We’re working on that right now.”

While Glasberg says he always had an idea for a season-ending crime story, emotionally, the tone changed in light of Waite’s death. ”This really changed the dynamic of it and added a whole emotional element to it that I wasn’t planning on,” he says. “But we wanted to do it justice and do it right and really make it a tribute to Ralph.”

Also on tap, according to Glasberg:

+ A “really strong” McGee and Delilah story that will find them tackling some big relationship issues.

+ A story about sexual assault in the Navy on which writers have worked closely with the real-life Navy to produce. Kelli Williams will guest star.

+ A penultimate episode that will send Tony to France. “It’s sort of a Three Days of the Condor storyline that we’re having a lot of fun with. We’re putting that together right now.”

+ A season finale without a cliffhanger. Possibly. ”I’m not 100 percent sure we’ll be going out on a cliffhanger this year,” he says. “We may let the resonance of what’s happened with Gibbs settle a little bit and start fresh come season 12. We’re working on that and figuring it out.”

  1. No cliffhanger? That's too bad.

  2. I can understand why there wouldn't be a cliffhanger without disrespecting what Gary and Mark want to do in terms of honoring Jackson Gibbs,Mr. Ralph Waite. I think they will be able to add some kind of suspense that could carry over without it being a major production..

  3. It's refreshing actually. Cliffhanger's are rather tiresome, thou I do understand the reason for them. But, how many times can you end a season with a team member leaving, team member(s) in danger, team broken up etc?
