Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There wasn't one here, I don't think. I think I read about it on WX.

I googled just now and found this info which makes me laugh:

CBS declined to comment but multiple sources confirm that Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J are in final talks to headline the Eye net's forthcoming NCIS spin-off

Also Louise Lombard.

I saw a link on CNN about "shocker" on NCIS, and it led to dire hints about Tony and Ziva, and mentioned a spinoff, which I'd heard vague rumors of and came here to enquire of those hipper to entertainment news than I.

Wasn't LL in Toys? If that was him, I was pleased. Points to whomever gets the reference: "That's a hard pattern to match."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

NCIS was a "spinoff" of JAG, which meant they had one or two backdoor pilots that aired on JAG.

I never watched JAG. Was it as good as NCIS, ie, funny, the characters like each other as friends as opposed to potential bed mates, etc.?

I really liked JAG. It's basically a courtroom drama in uniform. It's Bellasario, so it's relatively true to military life and jargon. And it had it's share of funny writing, comic relief. I felt they focused a little too much on the semi-romantic relationship between the two main protagonists towards then end and it nearly ruined the last season in my mind. Still, I watched pretty faithfully, until I discovered Buffy and it couldn't compete with my new love for that TV time slot.

I still miss the Tony-Kate interaction, which was more siblings than potential lovers.

From what I have heard the NCIS spin off is going to be a whole new team.

If it doesn't have Gibbs, I'm not watching. Or Abby. Or Ducky. Yeah, even Tony and Ziva can be there.

Still, I'll check it out. I like Chris O'Donnell, he's turned into a very good actor. I don't even think of him as Robin anymore.
