It’s easy for filmmaking to lose its charm. Days on set are long. Some shot setups are tedious. There’s a lot of “hurry up and wait,” and we all know how that feels. So for me, someone who lives for those days, the best gift in the world is to work with other people who love it, too.
That’s how it felt on the “NCIS” set.
And it was a long time coming for me.

As the United States Air Force prepares to accept its newest jet, the F-47, into service, the reaction from America’s principal geopolitical adversary toward the sixth-generation fighter has been somewhat negative, with detractors in Beijing pointing out that the fighter will be one of, if not the most expensive, defense programs in history. A summary of China’s reaction has been compiled and analyzed by the U.S. Air Force and provides an interesting window into how China perceives what could well be the world’s leading fighter jet as it enters service.
One of the clearer lessons from the ongoing war in Ukraine is that there is probably no single weapon or weapon system from the West that can fundamentally change the battlefield dynamic on its own. Nearly all the previously hyped wonder weapons or anticipated silver bullets have run into the reality that Ukraine and Russia are locked in a large-scale industrial war in which adaptation happens quickly, and neither side enjoys uncontested air superiority.
