A break-in and double murder reminds Jesse (Noah Mills) of an old case closed by a former NCIS agent Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) got fired from NCIS after she took over the assignment at Pearl Harbor. The longer NCIS investigates the case the more Tennant begins to wonder if the person NCIS put in prison years go is actually innocent of his crime and that Carter ignored evidence and witnesses that didn’t fit the confession he coerced from the suspect while in custody. There’s plenty of animosity here, and uncovering of wrongdoing by the former agent, but there’s no payoff or consequences given what is uncovered.

Syfy’s new series The Ark introduces us to the characters and story in the middle of a crisis when the passengers for a new Earth colony are awakened from hibernation early due to problems on their deep-space ship which have left them without their command crew and damage to several parts of the ship limiting precious necessities to survive. While the CGI effects on the outside of the ship are passable enough, the staging on the inside of the ship isn’t all that interesting forcing you instead to focus solely on the characters, which is a problem if you aren’t given a reason to want any of them to survive.
