Backdoor Pilots are hardly ever succesful in my opinion and I thought the NCIS LA one back then was plagued by much the same things that annoyed me with NCIS NOLA but somehow the case and characters grabbed me more.
Whereas the NOLA backdoor Pilot just bored my half to tears. For me a good Pilot (backdoor or otherwise) has to have at least one scene that makes me sit up straight and go "wow". I`ll even forgive lackluster 38-40 minutes since all Pilots are awkward if I get this one scene. This one didn`t have that, at all.
