NCIS ended the 11th season May 2014, with Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) father's death, Jackson Gibbs played by Ralph Waite. Part of the episode had Jethro taking a model boat from his childhood that he had built with his dad. It showed him starting to make a sketch of it. The name of the boat was "Chickadee", which was Jackson's (Ralph) nickname for his wife (and Jethro's mother).
The 12th season of NCIS started this past Tuesday (9/23/14) and they did a little tribute to the memory of Ralph Waite at nearly the end of the episode. It showed Jethro in his basement with not only the model boat, but that he is also starting to build a full size one. They had a close up of Jethro's right hand holding a mug (coffee cup). It had a preacher/reverend dressed in black holding a bible or hymn book open with an arched church stained glass window in the background. Across the top of the mug in big letters was RALPH.
I wonder if they had the mug made up special for this little tribute or was it the mug Ralph used when he was on the set of NCIS?

Awww....that is so sweet. And it made me sad all over again for his loss.

In general, NCIS frequently seems to bring out sentimental occurrences regarding Gibbs -- probably to soften that rather "all business" façade.... one of my favorite shows.... and I'm enjoying the new New Orleans version this year, too -- loving Scott Bakula, always a favorite of mine  |

Oh how sweet- I wished I had watched it! (loved that show but haven't watched since Ziva Left- except to see about Ralph).
This made me a little sad... |

This made me a little sad... It took me a while to get used to NCIS without Ziva, but I'm handling it fairly well now !! I'd like to know about Cote's decision -- wouldn't surprise me if she wanted more money or more recognition.... as her role grew to its wonderful heights, I thought she deserved "second billing" instead of Michael.... although I like him, I can think of many actors who could do a good job with that part, but NO ONE could improve on the Ziva role

I agree Cote was the perfect Ziva! Miss them both! |

I agree Cote was the perfect Ziva! Miss them both! Sometime during the last couple of days, I saw (again) Ziva's last episode.... and it occurred to me that at least they hadn't killed her off... hmmm... I assume they'd love to have her back... is it possible ?!
So, I just Googled her -- and there are several very recent "news" articles which indicate that the door is definitely still open, and even an interview with Michael hints at her possible return !!!
Oh, man, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

USA network had a rerun on tonight of the last episode of NCIS that Ralph Waite was in. I think it was called Better Angels.
