Forget NCIS Season 22, I Need Mark Harmon Back As Gibbs In Another Show After NCIS: Origins
Harmon narrates the NCIS: Origins story from his isolation in Naktok Bay. The Agent in Charge retired to Alaska after a case brought him and McGee (Sean Murray) to the state, and Gibbs decided to stay there when he realized the profound sense of peace the landscape brought him. Thus, in the shared NCIS universe, Gibbs is still an island. While Gibbs returning to NCIS: Origins was necessary, and his role in the show makes sense, I desire a more tangible representation of Gibbs, who can interact with the other characters. That said, Gibbs’ NCIS reunion can’t happen on the flagship.

The series has worked hard to distinguish itself as worthy of continuing without Harmon, and compromising that at this juncture simply doesn’t make sense to me.

NCIS: Tony & Ziva Is Quite Different From The Flagship
While Gibbs’ appearance alongside Tony and Ziva wouldn’t be complete without McGee, they could work Sean Murray into the story, too, making for the perfect reunion.
Admittedly, I enjoy what they’re doing with NCIS season 22, but the show doesn’t have the same appeal as when Gibbs, Tony, and Ziva were all in the bullpen. I know I’m not alone when I say I would love to see Harmon reunite with Weatherly and de Pablo. Furthermore, this could be the NCIS franchise’s best chance for Gibbs to return and for it to mean something to fans. If NCIS passes on the opportunity to feature Gibbs alongside two of his most trusted agents, Tony and Ziva, they will squander the perfect opportunity to feature Gibbs again.
