\nNCIS: Origins Cast & Character Guide
\nThe NCIS: Origins cast and characters are in a rare position to make NCIS history while revisiting the franchise\u2019s most historic moments ever.<\/p>\n
A new detail in NCIS: Origins hints at how Mike Franks\u2019 original team with young Leroy Jethro Gibbs is set up to be better than Mark Harmon\u2019s 19-year squad in the flagship series. Three years after Harmon\u2019s Leroy Jethro Gibbs retired in NCIS season 19, the character\u2019s story will continue on the small screen. This time, however, the focus will be on the life he had before the events of NCIS. Picking up after the death of his first wife and daughter, Shannon and Kelly, NCIS: Origins will see Gibbs\u2019 original team, as he joins Franks\u2019 fledgling squad.

NCIS: Origins Camp Pendleton Office Has A Break Room (MCRT Doesn\u2019t)
\nFranks\u2019 Camp Pendleton Facility Makes It Easy For His Agent To Hang Out
\nAs part of its marketing campaign ahead of its October premiere, a string of new NCIS: Origins official images have been released. Aside from official portrait photos of the cast, CBS already released some shots of the team\u2019s office at Camp Pendleton. It shows Franks\u2019 bullpen, as well as the interrogation room. While those aren\u2019t new to the franchise, it\u2019s surprising to see NCIS: Origins\u2018 facility having its own break room \u2014 complete with an arcade machine and a foosball table.<\/p>\n
While the Navy Yards\u2019 NCIS headquarters have some kind of lunchroom, NCIS: Origins\u2018 building a full kitchen\/dining room hints that it will be more prominently used in the prequel. Besides the outdated appliances, the set is complete with a fridge, a stove, and a four-seater dining table. It has everything Gibbs and his original NIS squad need for sustenance as they work on tricky cases.<\/p>\n
How Camp Pendleton\u2019s NIS Office Sets Up Franks\u2019 Team To Have Better Rapport Than Gibbs\u2019 MCRT
\nGibbs And His Teammates Have More Opportunities To Hang Out Casually In NCIS: Origins<\/p>\n
These new sets for NCIS: Origins are part of the show establishing the period when the show is set. As the first prequel series in the NCIS universe, CBS needs to properly establish where it is set in the timeline, especially to alleviate any kind of confusion with regard to why a different actor is playing Gibbs after Harmon\u2019s stint as the character. Beyond that, however, there\u2019s a bigger storytelling potential posed by these sets. Because of them, Franks\u2019 team in NCIS: Origins has a chance to be even better than Gibbs\u2019 MCRT squad in the flagship project.<\/p>\n
Frank\u2019s Pendleton office having a break room and kitchen can show his squad hanging out with each other in a more casual setting in NCIS: Origins.<\/p>\n
While there was no doubt that all iterations of Gibbs\u2019 team in Navy Yard were solid, NCIS barely featured them spending time with each other outside of work. They mainly gathered to solve cases. Frank\u2019s Pendleton office having a break room and kitchen can show his squad hanging out with each other in a more casual setting in NCIS: Origins. Granted that it may be during their breaks, but putting them in a backdrop that isn\u2019t their bullpen or the crime scene can foster a camaraderie that extends beyond the walls of their office.<\/p>\n
Why It Was Difficult For Gibbs\u2019 MCRT Squad To Have The Same Dynamic As Franks\u2019 Team
\nGibbs & Franks\u2019 Leadership Styles Are Different<\/p>\n
Aside from the lack of any hang-out place in the office where they could all wind down, there were other factors as to why Gibbs\u2019 NCIS team in Navy Yard didn\u2019t get to have the same dynamics as Franks\u2019 squad. For starters, the era of NCIS: Origins calls for more personal interactions. Back then, social media and the internet weren\u2019t a big thing yet, essentially forcing people to actually spend time with each other for socialization. Meanwhile, Tim McGee could be in his room for hours playing video games, while Tony DiNozzo talked to women online.<\/p>\n
Secondly, it\u2019s also important to look at the composition of Franks\u2019 team compared to Gibbs\u2019 in the flagship. In NCIS: Origins, Franks\u2019 leadership style is more relaxed (as hinted in his appearances in the original show), which means that he can easily grab a beer with his squad. Meanwhile, Gibbs can be aloof and hard to read. He spent the majority of his downtime in the 19 years he was in the main NCIS in his basement alone. Gibbs was more of a father figure to his agents, while Franks can be perceived as a colleague and even a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
