NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 DVD Review

Posted on October 11, 2022 by

Yes, I’m back with another in the NCIS franchise. This time, I was thrilled to rewatch NCIS: LA (Los Angeles) season 13, just in time for season 14’s premiere in early October.

The five-disc collection includes every action-packed episode from the latest season, as well as exclusive special features, including the 300th episode celebration.

The jaw-dropping season kicks off as the LA division of NCIS continues to apprehend the dangerous and elusive criminals who pose a threat to the nation’s security. Meanwhile, Special Agent G. Callen (Chris O’Donnell) makes it his mission to hunt down Katya after his discovery of her use of deep fakes, which puts them all at risk. The NCIS team works together to make ends meet, leaving everyone on edge who will be the next to fall into one of Katya’s elusive traps.

The season 13 DVD includes deleted/extended scenes, my favorite the gag reel, and three great special features:

Lucky Number 13
This year, the NCIS: Los Angeles team finds themselves in the midst of intrigue and surprises. From dealing with Russian spies and the mysterious past of one of the team, this season is filled with suspense. This year also deals with important social issues, including adoption, hate crimes, and racial prejudice. The cast and producers provide candid insight into this unforgettable season.

Welcome Aboard, Admiral
Although he had appeared on several episodes in past seasons, this year, Gerald McRaney has become a series regular. In this amusing and perceptive interview, Mr. McRaney discusses why he decided to take on the role of Admiral Kilbride full time and why NCIS: Los Angeles is different from other television series he has been a part of in the past. The cast and producers also weigh in as to the addition of this gifted and talented actor.

300 And Counting
Few series can lay claim to having filmed 300 episodes and continue to be one of the top-rated shows on television. As NCIS: Los Angeles celebrates this milestone, we hear from the cast and producers about the success and the history behind this well-loved series.

Season 14 started October 9, but you can still rewatch season 13 now with the DVD from Amazon.

It’s another night of premieres, and I’m thrilled because one of my favorites is back tonight. Last season of NCIS: LA ended on a high note, with Kensi & Deeks able to foster Rosa, Sam & his dad bonding once Sam had him move in with him due to his mental health issues, and a surprise welcome beach party for Rosa, Kensi, & Deeks…where Callen surprised everyone, including Anna, and got down on one knee and proposed to her.

Of course, it’s not all sunshine & roses. Hetty is still missing, but I think she’s coming back sometime this season, so…we’ll see.

On tonight’s premiere, “Game of Drones,” the NCIS team searches for a suspect and their motive following the bombing of a large facility where military combat drones are assembled. Also, Callen and Kilbride get troubling news about a body found in Syria.

Find out if it’s Hetty in Syria tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Celebrity Jeopardy!, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, , East New York, Family Law, Halloween Wars, SEAL Team, & The Rookie.

My picks tonight are both on CBS, so I’m just lumping them in together. Both NCIS: LA & NCIS: New Orleans premiere tonight, and I’m so excited. I hate how COVID has wreaked havoc with my TV!

When we last left off in Los Angeles, Nell was pretty burned out and ready to turn in her papers, but Hetty convinced her to take her vacation and think about things. Also, Sam and Callen were dealing with a case in which two SEALs claimed their chief (Senior Chief Argento) murdered an unarmed prisoner. Turned out Argento was a bad dude, but even though they were finally able to arrest him, he told them he would get off scot-free. (His wife has connections with a senator, and Argento thinks he’s untouchable.)

Then in New Orleans, Khoury was deep into taking down Deputy Director Van Cleef, who liked ruining women’s careers, and with Pride’s help, they talked him into resigning. The team was also able to clear Khoury’s name from the last time Van Cleef had her punished. He showed up at Khoury’s house later, trying to intimidate her, but it didn’t work.

Now that the shows are back, post-COVID, it’ll be interesting to see how they handle it. I know that on LA, they’re going to be in a post-Pandemic time, but on New Orleans, it’s very much entrenched in the coronavirus. I’m going to enjoy the difference, I think, but I guess we’ll see.

On tonight’s NCIS: LA, “The Bear,” when a Russian bomber goes missing while flying over U.S. soil, Callen and Sam must track it down in the desert and secure its weapons and intel before the Russians on board destroy the plane. Also, Hetty gives Nell a cryptic assignment.

Then on NCIS: New Orleans, “Something in the Air, Pt 1,” as New Orleans grapples with the effects of COVID-19, Pride sends Tammy and Carter to investigate a suspicious death aboard a humanitarian ship offshore, where they learn that some crew members are infected with the deadly disease. Also, Wade is overwhelmed by the high volume in the morgue due to COVID-19.

Don’t miss the exciting premieres tonight on CBS at 8:30/7:30c & 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching Holiday Wars, Supermarket Sweep, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Card Sharks, & the Kids Baking Championship special.

Jenny’s Choice #1

It’s an exciting Sunday for me because two of my favorites are back! First up is the season premiere of NCIS: LA, which ended last season with the fate of two members of the team in extreme jeopardy. The team was kind of all spread out in last season’s finale, all fighting the same fight – except for Nell and Eric, who were in San Francisco fighting the fight against Nell’s mom’s health problems. But Callen and Sam were aboard the USS Allegiance with Navy Captain Harmon Robb Jr (David James Elliott), Hetty was stateside, working with Marine Lt. Col. Sarah “Mac” Mackenzie (Catherine Bell) to learn more about the bad guys the rest of the team was fighting to stop, and Kensi and Deeks were over in Iran with Sabatino…and were trapped in the mobile CIA unit with him and a few others when they came under attack by ISIS fighters. They were literally trapped inside this metal box with no way out and not a lot of options. Obviously they won’t be going anywhere, so somehow, someone has to stop the ISIS guys, but who will it be?? The others are all thousands of miles away, trying to stop a missile attack that could potentially start WWIII.

We get more of Harm and Mac tonight, which is super exciting for JAG fans, but what I would also love to see more of is Sabatino. I think there’s an awesome chance here for another spinoff. I love him and his portrayer, Erik Palladino.

On tonight’s episode, “Let Fate Decide,” Callen and Sam work with Navy Capt. Harmon Rabb, Jr. to apprehend spies aboard the USS Allegiance. Also, Hetty partners with Marine Lt. Col. Sarah “Mac” Mackenzie to neutralize a missile attack in the Middle East, and Kensi and Deeks are trapped in a mobile CIA unit in Iraq while under attack by ISIS.

Don’t miss the exciting conclusion to last season’s finale episode on CBS (starting late because of football) at 9:30/8:30c.

My first pick tonight is the new episode of NCIS: LA. Last week, Callen got news on Anna’s whereabouts from Joelle of all people, and they, along with Sam, Kensi, & Deeks, traveled to Cuba. Anna was apparently working with Joelle to find and take down Volkoff, who also had Callen’s father. Anna, Joelle, and Callen ended up being held by Volkoff, and at first it seemed like Anna and Joelle were killed by him right in front of Callen, but that turned out to be faked by Volkoff. In the end, Anna was shot but was going to be okay. She couldn’t return to the States, though, because even though the CIA & Joelle would clear her name, her face would still be known everywhere. So she went with Joelle and would continue working with her. Callen’s father was shot as well, and though he lived long enough to get back to LA and see both his daughter and grandson, as well as visit the grave of his other daughter who died when she was a child, he ended up dying from an infection. It was a little heartbreaking, watching Callen put the coin on his father’s headstone, but at least they all had a chance to see one another and say goodbye. And finally, a more fitting end couldn’t have come for a better person. Volkoff, who was shot after setting off chlorine gas in the bunker they were all in, which our guys barely escaped from, ended up being trapped in the bunker and dying from the gas.

I’m so excited about tonight’s episode (and next week’s finale) because we’ve got a huge JAG reunion. If you didn’t watch the show when it was originally on, it starred David James Elliott as Harmon “Harm” Rabb Jr., a former pilot turned lawyer who was now working for the military’s Judge Advocate General (ergo: JAG) division. Catherine Bell played alongside him as Lt. Col. Sarah Mackenzie. It started off on NBC, which canceled it after a single season, and then moved to CBS, where it aired for nine more seasons…and saw the spinoff of NCIS, which of course led to all the spinoffs after. Bet NBC is kicking themselves now, aren’t they? LOL Tonight’s episode will feature David James Elliott back as Harm, while Catherine Bell will return in next week’s finale.

On tonight’s episode, “The Guardian,” Callen and Sam travel to the USS Allegiance in the Persian Gulf to work with Navy Captain Harmon “Harm” Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott)
when the NCIS team uncovers ISIS sympathizers who are targeting military locations. Mercedes Mason returns as DEA Agent Talia Del Campo.

Don’t miss the return of two familiar faces tonight on CBS at 10/9c.
