For years, viewers have been holding out hope for a meaningful reunion between Tony and Ziva or a long-awaited comeback for Gibbs.

While CBS has teased that Season 22 will still hold βplenty of surprises,β the lack of a clear plan to honor the show’s legacy has left fans uneasy. As the franchise moves into uncharted territory, the big question remains: Is NCIS losing touch with its roots, or can it still deliver the heart and history fans have come to love?
