NCIS: Los Angeles - Season 14: Did They Run Out of Cases, or Jokes?
Ah, NCIS: Los Angeles. The show that brought us sunshine, shootouts, and enough cryptic messages from Hetty to leave your head spinning. But hey, at least Granger was there to dispense some sage wisdom (and maybe a dad joke or two).
Now, you might be wondering, after 13 seasons of high-octane investigations in the City of Angels, how many cases did our favorite agents crack in season 14? Buckle up, because this is where things get interesting...well, kind of interesting.
The Big Reveal: Not Quite a Baker's Dozen (But Close!)
Here's the truth, straight from the bullpen: Season 14 of NCIS: Los Angeles served up 21 episodes. That's not quite the full 24-episode season we were used to, but hey, maybe Callen and Sam needed a vacation (or at least a chance to stock up on sunscreen).
Why the Shorter Season? Theories abound. Maybe Hetty was off on a secret mission involving a rogue network of competitive cat cafes. Perhaps Granger finally convinced everyone to switch to a four-day work week (a man with a vision, that Granger). Whatever the reason, 21 episodes is what we got, and that's something to celebrate...with moderately priced tacos (looking at you, Eric).
Did We Miss Out?
So, did we miss out on vital intel or a heartwarming resolution between Kensi and Deeks because of the shorter season? Probably not. Let's be honest, there were only so many times Nell could get kidnapped before it started feeling repetitive (although, a good car chase never goes out of style).
The upside? The focus might have been tighter, the action more concentrated. Maybe we even got a few more sarcastic one-liners from Marty Deeks (a national treasure, if I do say so myself).
Final Verdict: Less is More (Except When it Comes to Tacos)
Look, 21 episodes might not seem like a lot, but hey, quality over quantity, right? Besides, it just gives us more time to re-watch Granger's best moments (man loved his metaphors) or appreciate Callen's questionable fashion choices.
So, there you have it. The not-so-shocking truth about how many episodes graced our screens in season 14 of NCIS: Los Angeles. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a giant bucket of popcorn and a NCIS: Los Angeles marathon (because apparently, I can never get enough boats and explosions).
