NCIS Brings Back Its Muse?

December 12, 2011 · by Brody Gibson · in Television

It’s very rare these days for deceased characters to stay deceased, and NCIS isn’t helping matters by apparently bringing back long time recurring character, Mike Franks (Muse Watson), despite dying last season. As fans of the show know, while he was pretty much destined to succumb to his cancer, Franks became a victim of the “Port-to-Port Killer”. Apparently the death didn’t take, as Watson is set for the series’ 200^th episode.

Watson announced the return via his Twitter, saying, “Just got my script for the 200 episode of NCIS. It is a great script. Gary [Glasberg] done good…. then i got an e-mail from Mark [Harmon] welcoming me back.” If you’ve got the script, couldn’t you have at least let slip how you’re going to be back? The obvious answer is a flashback, but that’s so boring. If you’re going to bring him back, bring him back! It would be such a twist to reveal he’s still alive somehow. But that’s wishful thinking.

From what we know of the episode so far, in which lots of past characters will reappear, heavily suggests flashbacks, so that makes me sad. I’ll cry when no one’s looking. Other characters expected to return for the 200^th episode are Gibbs’s late wife Shannon (Darby Stanchfield) and daughter Kelly. Here’s an idea: let’s have all the dead characters appear to Gibbs as ghosts, similar to A Christmas Carol. That would just be nuts! And totally illogical. I like it.

Do we know how insane that would be to have all the deceased characters come back as Gibbs’ ghosts in the 200th episode. The man has a lot of skeletons in his closet. Don’t get me wrong I’d love the fact that Muse is coming back as is Darby and the little girl who plays Kelly in the show, I’d also love for both Lauren and Sasha to comeback as well since both Jenny and Kate were a part of the team just as Franks was. But realistically Sasha can’t since she’s doing TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles and Lauren is likely up to something as well, plus both women have families to look after. Besides do we really need to bring characters such as Lee, Langer, Ari, La Grenouille, Paula and Pacci back? Or even Eli back? Ideally it would be great at least in my opinion to bring Lauren, Sasha, Muse, Ralph and Robert back. Especially Lauren and Sasha since the last time the full main cast was together on the set was for the two part season three premiere, plus Lauren was around for the 100th episode so she should be a part of the 200th episode as should Sasha and Robert (who was in the 150th episode.)

I absolutely adore Muse Watson & was so sad he was killed…I always enjoyed when he would show up & say “Hello probie.” He is such a fantastic actor.
