NCIS: Origins Season 1, Episode 7, "One Flew Over" is an example of the question facing the CBS prequel: is it just the story of young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, or does it want to be a TV crime drama that stands on its own? This episode does a great job in the former department, and not so great of a job when it comes to the latter.
The case of the week in "One Flew Over" involves an elderly woman found dead off the side of the road. But the circumstances surrounding Alice Glenn's death, and the people in her life, are given the bare minimum of development just to have some kind of a mystery. The real effort is put into scenes between Gibbs and Franks, which while welcome, feel almost like they're part of a different show.
