On the Oct. 6 episode of NCIS: Los Angeles titled “Decoy,” viewers watched as the team was split up working different assignments … which led to a possible Callen and Eliana romance. And, some fans were not happy with the new potential relationship for Season 11.
One fan tweeted, “Story was disjointed. Sam and Callen's storyline made no sense at all. Hard to do a good show w/half the cast missing. Having everyone stuck in separate places and not interacting or working together throws off the show's rhythm & pacing.” Another added, “Kind of a disappointing start to this season. Bring out the regular cast. Give Callan a better love interest than that. I hope next week is better.”
