NCIS: Los Angeles Turns 100, Creator Teases Milestone Episode
NCIS: Los Angeles reaches a notable accomplishment when its 100th episode airs this week.
In anticipation of the milestone, creator and executive producer Shane Brennan jumped on the phone to speak with TV Fanatic about this pivotal episode, “Reznikov, N.,” along with the next installment in Callen’s family history.
Check back after the episode airs for our full review and then on Wednesday for more from Brennan regarding what’s to come for Deeks and Kensi the rest of the season. And read on for excerpts from my exclusive Q&A with the producer…

TV Fanatic: Congratulations on 100 episodes. The show’s in syndication already, so what does this milestone mean for you?
Shane Brennan: What I hope is that anyone who has sampled the show in syndication will decide to come –and who hasn’t watched it on CBS — will come to CBS for the 100th episode and say “Wow. I’ve got to see how that all happened.”
The 100th episode pays off a lot, if not all, of the back stories that we’ve set up for Callen. This is an episode that I conceived way back at episode 25. So, I’ve been waiting 75 episodes to tell this story. It’s been a lot of fun building the puzzle. Every time we do a Callen story, there’s a little bit more in that story that reveals what’s about to unfold in the 100th episode.

So we get to see the episode backwards !!?? What do you think happened to get Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Sam (LL Cool J) into a car accident and Granger (Miguel Ferrer) shot obviously ??
… and then I bet the bad guys shoot him! 🙁
Argh, even that 90 seconds was enough to make me cry – haha!
That is one extremely dire and emotional start to the 100th episode. Chris O’Donnell is a natural in his role as G Callen. I cannot imagine anyone else playing the part. He’s talented in getting in touch with his emotions to bring out Callen’s feelings of finally meeting his Father and finding out what the G stands for. With bated breath I await to watch this episode when it airs in Australia in two weeks time.
I would not be surprised to see how a Comescu kills his father right in front of Callen… And then, before they are to kill Callen himself, Sam will come and safe him. He always does that…
However, I fear that Shane Brennan has planned it all out differently and really, I cannot wait to find out more about Callen. I love the Callen-centered episodes that mostly come straight from Brennan himself and I deeply admire Chris O Donnell, who always seems to be such a relaxed familyman, to change on screen to be G. Callen, mysteriously cool and suffering from growing up without a family.
Woe betide the writers if they let Sam die! :O They can’t do that!
But I hope, Granger’s dead. Sorry, I just don’t like him^^
I am so excited for the fifth season to be on TV here in Germany! 🙂
